Battle veterans of the Am

day captured Pinamopoan,
strategic town on Leyte is
lands northwest coast, and
Immediately turned south

moe sector, which Yank long

Advance units of the division
were reported in contact with pa

reinforcements which two days
ago moved northwa1d along the
Ormoc-P anamopoan highway, un-
der ceasless aerial assault.
No large scale fighting has de-
veloped, but headquarters
spokesman said this Japanese
force was insufficient to require
a determined American effort to
rout 1t.
Punches N0rthward
Meanwhile, a communique re-
ported, elements Of the 7th divi-
sion Of the Oath corps punched Il
miles northward along the Bay

of the last major Japanese escape
port.
As the oath division moved
through Pinamopoan, 1855 nm ar

moe sector came under fire of the

The climactic battle for Leyte
appeared imminent, although the
spokesman said it would be neces-
sary to await further develop
ments to determine what the Japa-
nese will do.
Bitterly defended Ponamopoan
fell to infantrymen driving by
land from Carigara, seven miles
eastward along Carigara bay.
Assault Repulsed
Earlier, coordinated Yank
amphibious assault on the village
had been beaten back by deter
mined Japanese rear guards, de-
Tending this northern terminus OF
the key Ornoc valley highway.
All precautions are being taken,
the headquarters spokesman said,
to prepare against any possible
japanese landing attempts on Car
igara bay.
