American planes subjected rhe vessel to ! ntermittent 1 bomibing attacks which a used .some : casualties among the priaouera. That night. Japanes? civilians were taken off the damaged crefi. but a guard of Japanese soldiers stayed isboard and kepi the prisoners in the hold.s at. rifle point. • The next morning—Dec. 15 —the ship was bombed again. Fewer than Sim survivors got into tlie water and swam for shore. Petritz said. He raid most of thos • who Ice’ their lives weie prisoner unable to get cut of the hold before the ship , went down. Conditions aboard the vessel were Rightful, tile officers told ntw-smen. Half of the prisoners were put into the after hold of the vessel, wlr li was leas than the size of a r gulation Tenuis court and only as high a.s a man's head. Some of 'he Americans died from suifc.ation in the short time they were aboard the vessel, Petritz said. He estimated that about 90 percent of the , men probably would have died ultimately even if the Anieri- ; cans had not attacked .he ship. He said about 30 prisoners in Jhe ai: .■ hold were wounded during the lien'ling attack. But that happened i 12 hours after the Japanese could have evacuated the prisoners, he ; pointed out. He w.t.s asked how he got away from the Japanese after he got into the water. "I swam away from the Japanese Garrison instead of toward it." he repli.d. smiling. After his escape, lie jot in touch with Filipitio guerillas who took excellent care of him. On Jan. 27, he was picked up by the 7th fleet and taken uiqaid the flagship of Adm. The ara.s C. Kin dad.

Italy: 530 miles (from north vs Ravenna). MANILA BATTLE (Continued From Page One) report by Maj. Gen. O. W. Griswold, commander of the 14ith army corps which was attacking the hold-out Japanese. "We will just go in fighting aud kill every last Jap,” he said. MacArthur communique revealed that Allied heavy bombers continued the steady attacks on Formosa. dropping 50 tons of explosives on installations near Hclto and the barracks at Takao. Two more enemy freighters were sunk, one off the east coast of Formosa and the other uear Hong Kong.

Admiral Chester W. Niinitz reported, revealing .that counterblows had checked the marine push northward on tbs island. The ferocity of the battle was revealed for the first time by a mariKe corps combat correspondent who said the invasion beach was "a scene of indescribable wreckage —all oi it ours." A two-mile belt of the Iwo beach northward from Mt. Suribachi was “a uhick layer of debris" and the wrecked hulls of scores of boats signified the price the marines paid to gdl ashore.

The miracle was that we were able to supply our troops at all during the two (lays of increasing shelling on this lieactv. ■ •” With arrival of elements of a third division on Iwo. the biggest marine force ever thrown into one operation- —some 40.000 —was slugging it out toe to toe with the fanatical Japanese defenders. AMERICAN THIRD (Continued From Page One) presaged plenty of wrecked locomotives, rail cars, and freight yards. Airmen said visibility west of the Rhine was 50 miles, while east of the river only scattered clouds dotted the sky. More than a score of German towns and villages fell to the Americans in the past 34 hours as Patton's tank and infantry columns chopped up isolated and disorganized enemy pockets in the triangle formed by the confluence of the Saar and Moselle river. The Americans cleared all ot' Saarburg lying on the west bank of the Saar river without important'opposition and hurled the last Nazi rear guards back across the fiver on an eight-mile front below that town. On the left flank, armored spearheads pushed up to within about a mile southwest of Konz, where the Saar and Moselle join, and about five miles below the ancient city of Trier, one of the pivots of the German communica-
