More than 50 sorties in less than 24 hours already had been made against the IO-shlp enemy naval force which was reported officially to have lost two big transports in the furious combat. A third trans- port was reported hit.

Thousands of troops were be- lieved drowned in the sinking of one of the heavily-loaded trans- ports, a 14,000-ton vessel.

At laast 18 enemy fighters were shot down in fierce dogfight-s.

Up to Dec. 1. however. Australians had lost 640 killed and 1,550 wound- ed, and three American Brigadier Generals had been wounded.

Japanese losses have not been fully counted, and they may never own because of the Japanese method of fighting to the last from treetops and dugouts. The official Allied. count of Japanese dead to- talled 3,B40, but many other hull- dreds of enemy killed, es- tlmated by field commanders in var- ious actions. were not included In this total.
