PATH DIVISION TROOPS ROLL
 NORTHWEST :.

Gen. MacARTHUR'S QUAR- TIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES, Nov. 1.-tAP)-The American 24th Division troops, aided by powerful mechanical units, roll- ed northwest through Leyte Val ley today, above Jaro, within eight miles of Carigara Bay, to the positions that the Japanese have been reinforcing for the last week.
 Final enemy suicidal counter attacks In that area are expected any time within the next few days, stated Major General Franklin C. Sibert, who is com mander of the 10th Corps.
 The Japanese are persistently sneaking in barges at Ormoc Bay in the islands of the west coast, despite the destruction of the prowling nigst air patrols.
 Headquarters spokesmen say they are either planning to make a stand at Ormac, and another spot, 20 miles north around Cari- gara, or setting up a perimeter defense with fresh troops in an attempt to evacuate the remains of the Japanese 18th Divsiion.
 The same Nipponese who or ganized these battles, organized the "March of Death, is it said.
 The same communique which announced this gathering for fight also reported that trapped Japanese forces further south of Leyte Valley, near Dagami, were killed by American flame throw CTS.
 About 1900 to 2000 were killed in the attack, and scores of pill boxes were found, as the First Cavalry Division battled west toward Carigara positions, which is less than five miles away from the captured Burigo, on the coast.
