 THIRD TIME

 Hatsudoki Plant

TWENTY FIR ST B O M B E R COMMAND, SATAN, Dec. 22-A sizeable force of Superforts bombed Nagoya today, the third time in lC days, returning to the huge air craft manufacturing center.
 The first Superforts over the city bombed through an overcast early in the afternoon and other formations kept going over the target area for two and hall hours.
 Since the December B attacks on the Hatsudoki factory of the Mitsubishi Aircraft Works, more than 67,O0o square feet of its roof age is off. Today's raid may have been designed to finish off the target.
 Brig. Gen. Hansell earlier called the factory the Patterson, N. J.. and Hartford, Conn, works com bined," thus comparing the single Japanese aircraft factory to the two big U. s. plants.

NEW TANK
 AIRFIELD,
 MIND0R0
Important New Base Con- strueted Only 15O Miles
 from City of Manila

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP PINES, Dec. 22-Deadly American fighter planes are flying against the Japanese from a newly -con- structed airdrome on Mindoro Is- land, less than 150 miles from Manila, Gen. Douglas Macarthur reported today.
 The announcement that the new field has been hacked out of Min doro's southwest coast is due to the marked attainment of the primary objective of the landing on the is land last week. Today, it's import ance to both Americans and Japa- nese was demonstrated as the en- emy sent 29 planes against install lations Wednesday. Eleven raiders were downed in the fierce aerial combat with American Lightnings and Thunderbolts. One American fighter plane was lost.
 The closing of the so-called pin cers on the Ormoc corridor on Leyte Islands northwest coast means that First American Cavalry from the north, and the 77th In fantry Division from the south have joined advance units along the Ormoc road. The Japanese particularly those on the east side of the road, are striving desperately to keep the gap open so they can slip through to the west in the direction of Palompon, their only remaining escape port.

RED ARMY OFFENSIVE
 BECOMING
Russians Say They Have Given Starting Date
 to Allies Already
(By Associated Press)

Russia has assured her Allies that a powerful Red Army winter offensive is coming up, and when it comes, informed sources said, it will disclose new alignment of the Red Army forces spearhead toward the heart of Germany.
 While it probably will not have any immediate effect on the distant Western Front, where the U. s. First Army is now the target of the Wehrmacht counter offensive, the Red Army drive on the Eastern Front is calculated to hasten the eventual collapse of Hitler's forces,
 Soviet sources said the Red Army high command had gone as far as to communicate to the Americans and British the date it will start it's offensive, but this is not con- firmed by American military quar- ters. There is, however, strong evil dence that the Allies are now counting on a new Russian land push.
 One such indication was Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson's remark at a news conference that 'the German high command must be prepared to meet the Russian winter offensive wherever it may strike"

SHOCK TROOPS ADVANCE


 MOSCOW, Dec. g Russia n shock troops today wedged deeper into Southern Slovakia while new operations of two powerful Rus- sian Army groups threatened to seal off beleaguered Budapest from the west.
 Gen. Malinovsky's Second Ukra- inc Army drove to within IA miles east of the big Slovak rail city of Losong, seizing 30 more locali- ties including the important com- munications center of Rimas-Zom- bat on the Kassa- -Losong Highway The fall of Rimas- Combat opened the important gateway to the Matra Mountains and brought re- lief in sight to an isolated force of Slovak Patriots, estimated at 25,000.
 The Germans admitted they were alarmed over the resumption of Soviet pressure on the west side of the Danube, and the vitally stra- tegic zone between Budapest and Lake Balaton, where Marshal Tol- bukhin's Third Ukraine Army paused early this month to build up greater striking power.
