GEN. MacARTHUR'S HQ.,
LEYFE. PHILIPPINES Sunday,
Oct. 20 (UP)-Americans, winning
full control of Samar Island, have
reached the last water barrier on
the road TO Manila. only $50 miles
away, front dispatches reported
today.
Samar, third largest of the
Philippine islands, with an area of
SPA square miles, was reported
in the grip of Maj. Gen. Mudge's
dismounted cavalry and Filipino
guerillas.
The Americans %advaneed 66
miles north OF the newly-won capt.
tai of Catbalogan 10 reach the To-
mile San Bernardino strait sepa-
rating Samar from Luzon.
On the Leyte front to the SOUTH
the Americans were driving for
ward in all directions against
Japanese forces officially described
as bordering on complete disor-
ganization and disintegration."
TROOPS REACH COAST
The Melbourne radio re-
ported that American landing
and naval forces already were
operating along the west coast
of Leyte borderingo on the
CamoteS Sea.
"a Tokyo broadcast admitted
the Japanese were in retreat
on Leyte, saying its forces were
holding a vital height on the
western side of the island from
which they were firing artillery
against the advancing Ameri-
cans. Tokyo also reported that
20 10 30 American transports
off Tacloban were pouring more
men and supplies ashore.
(Tokyo claimed that Japa-
nese naval planes were attack
ing the American transports
and that since the invasion of
Leyte Oct, 20 had sunk or
damaged l08 warshipS or trans
ports. The enemy broadcast
said that in the latest series of
attacks Friday three large trans
ports were sunk, three uniden-
titled ships set afire, and two
cruisers were hit by torpedoes)
PIT BOATS BUSY
AS the Americans heightened
their lines on Leyte, there were
indications that the enemy garri-
son, which already has lost more
than $4,000 men killed or
wounded, might be preparing to
abandon the island except for sui
cidal rear guard resistance in the
inland mountains. American PIT
boats, boldly dashing into the
Camotes Sea under cover of dark
ness, sank 10 enemy barges loaded
with troops and two coastal
frelghterS in Ormoc Bay on the
west coast.
American patrol planes ranging
to the southwest against Puerto
Prlncesa on the east coast of Pa
lawan Island meanwhile sank a
2,000-ton Jap cargo vessel and

Control Shift
Fry Demands State
Quit Booze Business

Return of the liquor business
from state control to private
operators is one of the major re-
forms sought by the Democratic
party, Edward J. Fry, Democratic
candidate for governor, declared
Saturday in a radio broadcast.

pledged that, if elected, he would
do his utmost to bring about the
change.

liquor is sold in privately owned
stores, many popular brands are
readily available, whereas in

these brands are vitually impos-
sibie to obtain.

WASHINGTON - Charging the
Office of Price Administrator with
efforts to confuse the issue of crude
oil prices, Russell B. Brown, general
counsel for the Independent Petro-
leum Association of America, sent
a letter to all members of congress
pointing out errors in series of
charts distributed by OPA.
= The OPA charts, which were
sent to members of congress but
not otherwise distributed, purport-
ed to show that no crude price in
crease is necessary, but Brown de-
scribed them as containing 'errors,
miscalculations and fabrications.
He cited contradictions, such as one
chart indicating that crude reserves
are increasing and another showing
a decline, and one indicating that
OPA has allowed crude prices TO
rise q percent while companion
graph claims OPA has held the line
with oil prices virtually stationary
After mentioning several other
confusing, incomplete, or unbound
ed calculations, Brown declared
this set of charts proves our con-
tentiOn that we have never been
given an unprejudiced hearing by
OPA."

Work Is Started
On Restoring
Hotel at BrawIey

BRAWLEY, Sept. Il. - Complete
restoration OF the Dunlack hotel,
wrecked in the earthquake of May
lS, 1910, began Saturday.
This 90-room hotel was SO badly
Damaged in the big shake that 1T
was condemned. For four years the
hotel restoration has been held up
because of litigation over insurance.
Fred Lack, owner, said the case was
carried to the federal court of ap-
peal and he then settled with the
company for $4,000.
Lack said that the estimated cost
of restoration of the building and
the repair and replenishment of fur
nishings will be more than $40 900
with $25,00d CT the amount to be
used for redecorating and refurniSh-
ing and about $4,000 for structural
work.
If priorities and materials or some
unforeseen incident co not delay
the work, Lack said, he expects to
have it ready for occupancy by
November /.
The hotel building covers half
block at the corner of Eighth and
Main streets and includes several
store and office spaces.
The Dunlack hotel opened in 1929.
Before that an adobe bungalow
hotel occupied the site.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. (UP)-
Marine Lieutenant General Holland
M. Smith, commanding general of
the Saipan operation, said that
circumstances forced me" to
relieve army Major General Ralph
Smith from his post as commander
of the army ground forces on Sal
pan.
"As you we'll know the marine
general said, "one of the many
prerogatives and responsibilities of
a commanding officer operating
under the principles of unity OF
command is the assignment and
transfer of officers commanding
subordinate elements in any opera
ton.
unfortunately, circum stances
forced me to exercise one OF these
prerogatives and I did relieve Major
General Ralph Smith
Smith declined to elaborate fur
ther upon his statement.
Il am not given to passing the
buck" he said, but as you seek
details concerning this incident, I
remind you that General Smith is
an army officer and I must refer
you to the war department.
The war department, however,
refused to comment on the incident,
referring inquiries back to the navy
department on grounds that it was
in charge of that theater.
Army General Smith, q native of
Omaha, Nebraska, was in command
of the army forces Cn Saipan. No
announcement has been made that
he had been relieved. Rumors of
clash between the two generals have

Guardian S Spirit
Attends FIiers

HEADQUARTERS, FLEET AIR
WING FOUR, Sept. IL. CUP) =
Seven men rode back from Para
mushiro Island recently in a battle
bliStered Ventura bomber with fly
ing skill, a spare compass, some
ingenuity, a jug of coffee, and per-
haps a guardian spirit to thank for
their return.
The flying skill was displayed by
1t. John w. Pool of Corpus Christi,
Texas, aided by Ensign Bernard
Rielley of Pottsyille, Pennsylvania
who wheeled into a cloud bank
after the cannon shell from a ia
panese fighter exploded inside their
stubby- winged plane. But before
evading the fighters, Pool and his
gunner, Arthur Haycraft of Cedar
Rayids, Iowa, sprayed two enemy
planes with tracerS.
Pool and his crew had been en-
a raid against the northern Japan
ese island when jumped by enemy
fighters-seven coming in low and
eight or ten lowering above in the
sun. The fight that followed was
short and fast; but, like all air
combat in the North Pacific, the
battle with guns was only half
the fight. The long over-water
flight home in a damaged plane
still remained.
COMPASS KNOCKED OUT
The Jap fire had knocked out
the compass and other instruments
in the pilots compartment, but
Ensign Jack Warner of Edinboro,
Pennsylvania, the navigator, went
to work with the spare compass
still unchanged despite the shell
explosion within the plane.
II was working over one of the
men and Pool was calling for a
heading He was in the fog and
wanted a course home" Warner
said. I'D never worked with this
type of compass before, but finally
Rielley and I got course worked
out. 1t must have been okay be-
cause later we got the other instru-
ments working and were headed
straight home"
1t wasn't until after the radio
operator, Lee Lawrence of Ruth
ven, Iowa, notified the field that
the ship was landing with wounded
men that the crew discovered the
hydraulic system had been shot
out.
Pool headed the plane down but
as soon as the wheels were lowered
for a landing-creating pressure
on the hydraulic systematic hy-
draulic fluid squitted from the
explosion shattered feedline, spray
