Leyte the decisive Pacific battle, ‘and the one the Japanese had to win. That might have indicated their intent to make their major stand there rather than sending additional troops to a last-ditch fight on Luzon. 4 But with our sea and air forces in control of the approaches to the Philippines, it is doubtful if enemy enforcements could have been landed anyway. : Military observers say there has been greatly increased activity by the Japanese on the south China coast in the last two months, They report that the Japs have built an almost complete inland supply route from Hankow to Canton. Thus, observers reason, the lack of Japanese resistance in the main/ fight for Manila®apparently was due to the decision to make their main stand at Leyte, the huge losses of the Leyte campdign, and the durther decision to expend all energy in building defenses for south China - rather: than Manila. But it is believed here there still may be at least four groups of Japanese in Luzon: 1. In the hills west of Camp Stotsenberg and Camp O'Donnell. 2. On Bataan peninsula. 3. In the north. 4. In the south of Luzon.

Roth, five miles northeast of Buchet, also was captured, along with Brandscheid, two miles to the south. At Brandscheid, the 3d army was six miles inside Germany and only five miles due east of the big supply and communications center of Prum. On the Franco-American front in Alsace, where “the newly landed American 21st corps ‘was disclosed to have gone into action, allied troops converged from the north and south. : They cut the enemy pocket in two with a juncture at Rouffach, 10 miles south of Colmar and 14 miles north of Mulhouse, Several thousand Germans were believed trapped west of Rouffach.

shouting constant advice to the carefully-attacking Americans. Cpl. John Hencke, New York City, was in command of the Jeep which first crashed through the gates of Santo Tomas, spearheading the cavalry force which made a dramatic dash ‘through the city’s back door. » » .

AS THE CAMP began celebrating its liberation, the first question asked all troops was, “Did | you bring any food?” “The soldiers broke out their fleld rations, although they themselves were hungry after their spectacular dash. They gave out all their rations in a few minutes. For the first time in many months the internees ate without worrying where the next meal was coming from, ” " ” FOR YEARS to come, Cpl Hencke will be a household word for the Crabb family. He gave my wife, our two children now in internment, and me a meal consisting of salmon, marmalade, coffee and condensed milk. ; My wife, who -is an Australian, cried when she saw the “Made | in Australia” label on the marmalade contained, ” ” »

EVEN MORE than 36 hours hours after their liberation Amerfcan internees are finding it difficult to realize they actually are under the American flag again, Hundreds wept openly - this morning as the stars and stripes were run up on the university's - flag staff for the first time in more than three years.

(Hewlett, said & truce was arranged under which the 221 internees were reunharmed and the Japanese -force of 65 men under Col. Hayashi was permitted to leave the university area unmolested.)

Internees Overjoyed

The internees were so oOverjoyed at the arrival of the American troops that they insisted on lifting them to they thin, emaciated shoulders and carrying the soldiers through the buildings. Robert Crabb, another member of the former United Press stafl in-Manila;~his-wife-and-two-chil= dren were among those set free. (A special announcement from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters said the names of the rescued internees would be released to the press and radio “as soon as they are tabulated.”) Chase, after a personal inspection of the concentration camp, described conditions as “most pitiful.” Most of the internees, he said, were suffering from malnutrition and were “practically .skin and bones.” . “It would break your: heart to look at them,” he said. He urged that first priority should be given food and medical supplies for the internees.

12,000 Letters

(A broadcast from Luzon said great motor convoys with doctors, Red Cross staffmen and enough equipment to build a large hospital were waiting north of Manila to enter the city as soon as bridges were restored. (They were also bringing 12,000 letters and other messages fo the internees, the broadcast said.) Lt. Col. Conner's flying rescue column consisted of a small force of tanks, Jeeps and troop-laden trucks. It shoved off at 1 a. m. this morning on a reckless dash over a seldom-used, rough road into Manila from the northeast. The toughest fight of the day came at Naovaliches 10 miles from the capital, but brushes with the enemy were frequent all along the route. Conner by-passed several pockets ~of Jap resistance without slowing down. Our force exchanged fire with the Nips, then roared on by.

Resistance may come from one of these groups, according to military belief here, but hardly any major attack. The Japs have shown their chief Luzon strength on Gen. MacArthur's moved toward Manila and there has been heavy fighting northeast of Lingayen. The road junction of Rosario was taken only after 21 days of battle, for example. This was in contrast to the startling experience of Lt. Gen. Robert ' L. Eichelberger's army northwest of Bataan peninsula in landing without firing a shot. Military authorities cite the obviously great benefits to flow from having a port such as Manila to provide elbow room for U.S: shipping. The amount of damage done by the Japs before evacuating is a factor that must be counted, of course, ‘before the harbor can be counted for its maximum worth.
