TAVES Vmited Correspondent GEN. MacARTHUR'S Headquarters, Australia--As Allied forces in New Guinea launched a general attack today against rapidly deteriorating enemy positions, the captured orders of the slain Japanese commander, Ato- matara Horii, revealed the importance the Japanese had attached to their thwarted drive for Port Moresby. Tanks were used by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's American and Australian forces for the first time in the New Guinea campaign, to batter down Japanese steel and' concrete pillboxes, gun emplacements and log barricades which had withstood infantry assaults for 31 days.

Allied forces had formed a horse shoe line of attack around the Japanese's airstrip southeast of Buna and were pounding away with mortars and machine gun fire, bombs and aerial strafmg, as well as with the tanks. Don Caswell, United Press correspondent at the front, reported 4hat the tanks wer-e thirteen-ton- General Stuarts, manned by Australians, and that they spear-headed the Allied drive which captured Cape-Endaiadere last Friday. Caswell said the general attack Sunday pushed Allied outposts to within 1,000 yards of Buna Mission, in the air strip area. The tanks were doing in days what ground forces had been unable to do in a month Births Mr. and Mrs.
