In various areas Of Luzon
American-Filipino forces arc
carrying on guerrilla warfare,
raiding Japanese-held towns and
picking off japanese in small
groups.
1t is generally believed that
the Japanese high command is
preparing for further assaults
against G enera Macarthur
Bataan positions, but may delay
major drive pending the arriv-
al of reinforcements released
from action in the Malaga and
Dutch East Indies areas where
their main strength is at present
occupied.
Heavy casualties suffered by
General Homma's fourteenth ar
my have undoubtedly contribut-
ed to the hating of the japanese
drive. Exact japanese losses
have not been estimated, but it
is certain that thousands-per-
haps as high as 30,000-have
been killed or wounded.
HEAVY JAP LOSSES
Some 1000 Japanese h We
been buried by the American
Filipino defenders alone. These
were wiped out in attempted
landings on the west coast, and
in thrusts against the west CEN
trail section of the front, where
Japanese were annihilated by
artillery fire. An entire Jap
anese infantry regiment is be-
lieved to have been killed in
the west coast landing attempts.
The artillery took terrific
toll of the Japanese, who in the
early days of the Bataan fight
ing used to march in close order
down the roads commanded by
American guns. Several times
artillery of the defenders fired
into concentrations of between
500 and 1000 Japanese, destroy
ing nearly all of them. Their
fanatical charges into American
Filipino machine gun nests also
cost the japanese heavily.
In the current phase of limited
patrol activities, the Japanese
show little inclination to fight,
usually withdrawing when they
encounter Americana | ip n o
patrols even inferior in num-
bcrs.

If the invaders once crossed

impossible to prevent them
from cutting the railway and
the main road and thus securing
a grip on Burma's chief overland

man, deputy chief of the War Pro-
duction Boards automotive branch,
told the Detroit Automobile Dealers
Association here yesterday that at
the present rate of rationing, the
supply of motor trucks will be ex-
hausted by January, 1943.
He said the original rationing plan
was intended to spread the supply
over a period reaching to December,
1943 but that the demands had been
much heavier than anticipated
Rationing is proceeding at the rate
of more than 5000 a week, Mr.. Vani-
man said, adding that since March
9, total of 1880 units have been
released, 18,7O7 to Government
agencies and 1868 for civilian use.

essential weapons of war, and 1t is
important that the proper persons
get the use of them"
Ralph Nugent, chief Of the auto
mobile rationing branch OF the
Office of Price Administration, told
the dealers that more than 1000, 900
new passenger automobiles have
been sold under rationing regula-
tions, and that more of these have
been releasd in Michigan than IN

during March dropped to S709 ,000,-
coo, the lowest amount since last

Price Control 10 He|p
Home Front Victory,
Accountants Told
Institutes Session
Hears O. P. A. Aide;
; Elected to Board

Harold D. Menken of the Retail
Trade and Services Division, Office
of Price Administration, told the
District of Columbia Institute OF
Certified Public Accountants in an
nual meeting last night that price
control is one of the important
measures for winning the war on
the home front"
Total war" he said, "has created
too many scarcities, so many upSets
to business as usual that something
had to be done to keep prices from
running off the chart. Instead OF
overnight f1uctuation in prices OF
our daily necessities, the general
maximum price regulation has pro-
vided a basis on which business can
function in an orderly manner"
Hardships Being Adjusted.
Explaining that the regulation
provides ceiling prices for all sellers
of commodities and services both at
wholesale and retail, mainly based
on the March. 1912, levels, Mr.. Men
ken said: IF hardships occur in
individual cases adjustments will be
are being-made, but made under
the ceiling, so that any hardship is
shared by producer, converter, dis
tributor and retailer"
Retailers who find their ceiling
prices abnormally low in relation to
those of other retailers for the same
or similar commodities or services u
he said, "and who can show that
this abnormality subjects them to
substantial hardship may file an ap-
plication for adjustment"
Pointing out that because O. P. A.
intends to maintain March ceiling
prices, the speaker said, there will
be many calls for relief" on the
part of clients of certified public
accountants.
You will have to spell out a
pretty clear case of substantial
hardship to an entire business" he
said, Ito obtain relief for a client
on one abnormally low priced item" "
Cites Canadian Experience.
Mr.. Menken pointed to Canadian
experience with price regulation as
an example of the successful oper-
alton of the principle.
Three members of the board of the
institute were elected: Millard T.
Charlton, John B. Payne and j.
Henry Oehmann. The entire board
will meet Tuesday to elect officers
of the institute for the following

Upturn in Market
Gains Fair Breadth
In Late Dealings
Motors Spark Advance
And Many Leaders Goin
Fractions to z Points
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, May 27.-The motors
sparked a modest buying revival in
stocks today and many leaders
pushed up fractions to around 2
points.
Although retarded in its early
phase by heaviness in American
Telephone and laggard action in
the rails, the upturn achieved fair
breadth in the late dealings. Ad-
vances predominated in the final
hour in steels, rubbers, aircrafts,
copperS and industrial specialties
and even the carrier stocks bestirred,
themselves near the end.
Volume picked up a bit after
sluggish morning and transfers for
the five-hour stretch were around
400 900 shares.
Chrysler, up 2 or SO at the best,
a point, we're at new highs for the
year. Well in front were United
States Steel, Bethlehem, General
Electric, Union Carbide and Johns
Manville. Showing fractional prog
ress were Goodyear, United States
Rubber, Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, Woolworth, International
Harvester, Sperry, Kennecott, Ana
conda, Westinghouse, Santa Fe and
Pennsylvania. United Corp. pre-
ferred had a fair rise on the decla-
ration of a SO dividend against
arrears.
Bond Market Quiet.
Advances of fractions to a point
or more in a limited number of rails
and utilities stood out in an other
wise quiet and mixed bond market
today.
Trading continued quiet near the
final hour.
Holding within minor fractions
either way of Tuesdays final prices
were, among others, Pacific Gas g.
Electric 3als, Portland General Elec-
trio 4t2s, Missouri i-Kansas-Texas SIS,
International Telephone IS, Western
Pacific first IS and Union Pacific 3lzs.
United States Governments tended
higher on the stock exchange and
over the counter with tax exempts
in best demand.
Copenhagen SIS moved up to
297s and Denmark IS to 46 in the
final hour for net gains of 27s and
IS, respectively, under light de-
mand. Australia 4i2s lost a point.
Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron SIS and IS both moved more
than point higher in late dealings,
with the turnover heavy.
