FALL OF MANILA (Continued From Page 1) battle of Luzon for the first time Wednesday night, struck eastward along the Manila n'orth road from Guimban and then south into highway five. Cabunatuan, Santa Rosa and 'Capan all fell in swift succession, completely severing communications between the Japanese forces In north and south Luzon. Strong armored patrols raced 24 miles past Gapan to reach Sabang by nightfall Thursday. The stiffest Japanese resistance was met at the Pampanga river crossings just above Cabanatuau, where some 300 enemy troops supported by light tankettes put up a short, sharp battle that ended in their destruction almost to a man. American losses in the tight were described officially as small. Field dispatches said the terrific impetus attained by the first cavalry was expected to carry them into Manila before the 37th, which had been hampered by the difficult terrain around Calumpit. There still were no reports of Japanese destruction inside Manila, and it was believed that only a relatively few key objectives — such 'as the Pasig river bridges, supply dumps and military installations — would be blown up before the enemy abandoned the capital. o harold McMillen (Continued From Page 1) During 1944, Mr. McMillen represented the stockholders of the Central Sugar company in the liquidation of that business. The sugar factory did not operate after the 1943 run. Announcement was also made that Willard Hart, of Fort Wayne, has been placed in charge of all soybean and grain purchases for the Chicago office and the plants in this city, Gibeon City, 18., and Marion, Ohio. —o —_ FUEL IS RESTRICTED (Continued From Page 1) the freight and fuel edicts may be extended if the current cold wave continues in the affected states. The two embargoes apply to the same general region. Both affect the district of Columbia and the states ot New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The freight order also covers New Jersey and Delaware while the gas order extends to Kentucky. Movies and other omuseme.nt places which depend on gas for heating will probably have to close down over the week-end as a result of the WPB’f action The WPB official indicated emergency was so grsat thaj closure of schools on Monday to Wye gas would not be cbosidered’.-too drastic a step if local ‘ojfipjals wished to do so. ) 0 _ General Allied (Continued From Page l) Hard fighting was continuing inside the town this' morning. Four miles northwest of Dreiborn, vanguards of the 78th division were closing in rapidly on Dedenborn. six miles west-north-west of Gemund. The first division attacking on the second’s right flank also was menacing Schleiden from high command six miles southwest of that town after a 1.500 yard advance early yesterday. German resistance was reported stiffening hourly as the Americans closed on Schleiden and Gemund, and late dispatches said the Yanks were bucking a murderous crossfire from Nazi mortars and machine guns. o t’rade ta » Good Town — Det*tni
