“The shore positions taken by the United States forces have since (the original landing) been developed and are now well es- tablished."

The communique told of the original landing parties taking the Japanese by surprise in the early morning of Aug. '1. even destroy- ing l8 seaplanes before they could get into action, while troop cm"- riers and destroyers screened their operations. beating off Jup- anese land-based aircraft. and shooting down 1B planes during the first few hours of the occupa-
