lead one TO listen for a couple
catchy tunes and possibly a
clever Joke or two,

 He reported that the veteran 77th Division, which landed last week four miles below Ormoc, has been joined by the Seventh Division and in closing the southern jaw of the nut-cracker wise, enemy forces which were trapped between the two have been destroyed"
 Great quantities of equipment and supplies were seized in the fierce fighting which preseded the final destruction of the Ormoc gar- rison
 The fall of Ormoc, Japan's last big port of reinforcement for troops north of the Ormoc corridor, was a sharp blow to the enemy, and fighting in Ormoc itself be- fore it's fall was of the most des- perate character" Macarthur said.
 The General reported yesterday that many thousands of Japanese" are in the narrow pocket between the divisions coming together be- low Ormoc.
 The Third Tank Division and the 32nd are pressing against Japa- nese to the north despite almost impossible terrain.
 Air activity continued on de- structive scale and airdromes in the central Philippines were bomb ed anew.
