Philippine Operations
Proceed on Schedule,
Roosevelt Declares
President Is Grotified
By Macarthur Report of
Extremely Light Loss

President Roosevelt told his
news conference today that op-
erations in the Philippines are
proceeding on schedule and read
a message from Gen. Macarthur
to Gen. George C. Marshall,
chief of staff. In the message,
which followed the tone of his
communique last night. Gen.
Macarthur said losses in the
landing were extremely light"
and that the enemy was caught
"strategically unaware"
AS he had done earlier in formal
statement, the President expressed
extreme qualification at the sue
cessful invasion of the Philippines" "
Gen. MacArthur's communication
to Gen. Marshall said:
There were extremely light losses
and all landings were made on
schedule. The enemy was caught
Strategically unaware and there was
splendid progress of operations in
every respect. The enemy anticipat-
ed an attack more to the south. His
Mlndanao forces are no longer an
immediate factor and are practically
all cut off
Expected Earlier Announcement.
The President said Washington
had expected an earlier announce
ment of the Philippine operation,
which was not confirmed until after
l o'clock this morning. He said the
delay might have been due to an at
tempt by the japanese to block
communications.
The President said there is gen
eral satisfaction all over the coun-
try at the operation and that he
feels particularly happy that the
statement made by Gen. Macarthur
when he left Bataan-that he would
be back-had come true. The Army
and Navy have returned to the
islands, the President added.
A reporter asked Mr.. Roosevelt if
the plans for the invasion of the
Philippines were drawn during his
Pearl Harbor conference with Army
and Navy leaders in July.
He said he couldn't answer that
question, either yes or no. He said
the plan had been discussed for
some time and that when he got to

CHICAGO, Oct. 20. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey's chances of
winning the presidential cleo
ton. SO far as the great sweep of
territory from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast is concerned, are at
least $3.50.
Indeed. as compared to the Willkie
accomplishments in 1910. the Dewey
prospects are distinctly better. The
late Wendell L. Willkie, in his race
against the Roosevelt third term
carried seven States in this area
They were Michigan. North and
South, Dakota. Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa.
Gov, Dewey in all probability will
win all seven OF these States In
addition. he now has the edge in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Idaho.
