Enemy Makes Strong Base 0n Island

Could Become Spring- board For Invasion Of Australia.

CANBERRA, Australia, Nov. 20 _..(CP)—Facing defeat in the solo- mons Islands and New Guinea, to the north and northeast 0f Aus- tralia, Japanese forces are strengthening their positions methodically on the Island of Tl- mor to the northwest, it was stated officially today,

Nine anchorages on the north shore or Portuguese Timor have been occupied, and the Japanese have moved in much equipment, including many motor vehicles.

Australia consequently is still menaced by invasion, Australian spokesmen said, and Prime Min- ister John Curtln expressed the belief that; an action similar to the long and tedious campaigning in the Solomons and New Guinea region will have to be fought to prevent an invasion from the northwest.

Timor was being consolidated. it was believed, as a Japanese spring- board for projected operations against Australia. It was thought the Japanese were obliged to con- centrate there because, their foot- hOIds in New Guinea and the Solomons were slipping away 1m- der the relentless oundlng of Al- lied sea, air and and forces.

In New Guinea American and Australian jungle fighters were pushing the Japanese into an even more restricted strip of territory along the coast between Buns and Gena.

Even on this beachhead their position became more precarious after American Flying Fortresses made an effective surprise raid on enemy naval vessels oii Gona. A cruiser and a destroyer were sunk. and an operation in whlzh the warships were meeting land- ing barges from the shore was

thrown into confusion. Whether the landing barges were eviicuziz- lng men or bringing reinforce-

ments could not be ascertained.
