verified and that there had been no

front.
The Japanese invaded the Lin
gayen area OF LuZon Island in force
this afternoon, only to meet stif1
opposition from the Americans and
Filipinos in that strategic area,
which constitutes the northern
gateway to Manila.
A spokesman for Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, commander of the
United States Army in the Far East
in giving supplemental advices to
this correspondent, remarked, Il

A communique issued at Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters at 4:50
pm. (2:50 am, E. S. T) said:
This afternoon heavy fighting
developed in the north, including
tank combat.
Our troops more than held their
own.
AT one point Japanese destroyers
and transports were driven OF by
our heavy guns and that landing
was prevented.
Our troops are behaving we'll"
Action was centered between Lin
gayen and the town Of Agoo, 20
miles north.
The spokesman for Gen. Mac
Arthur said he did not know how
many Japanese soldiers landed from
the transports which suddenly
steamed up of the Gulf of Lingayen
this morning.
Size of Transports Not Known.
Military observers said they did
not know the size of the transports,
but they estimated that 80 ships
could handle between 10000 and 5O,-
600 men.
There are two possible routes from
Lingayen to Manila. A principal
railroad and highway network runs
down the interior directly between
the two cities and is f1anked on each
side by rugged mountains.
An alternate route is a coastal
highway from Lingayen around the
northern tip of mountains in West
ern Luzon and thence down the
shore to Manila
The Far Eastern command earlier
had reported that the Japanese at

increasing fury at the japanese and
that Japanese patrols had been
