.Japs Ceasing
Resistance
on Guam
(Ry Associated Pressl

japan boasted today that Amer
lean forces suffered "major disas-
ter" in the claimed capture OF
Hensyang perhaps seeking solace
for the Japanese debacle on Guam
now cleared OF all organized re-
sistance-and for multiplying re-
verses on every other battlefront OF
the Pacific war.
Chinese authorities had not ac-
knowledged fall OF the important
rail city but a message from the
long-besieged city Tuesday said the
Chinese defenders had been slain
almost to the last man. Since then
there has been no news from Heng-
yang.
Although the city actually was
garrisoned by Chungking soldiers"
said the Japanese radio. 'its de-
tense and desperate resistance Of
fered during the past few weeks
was entirely directed by American
officers" No Allied source has con-
firmed the presence OF Americans
at the crucial battle.
Gap Rename
Whatever it's success at Heng-
yang, Japan had still to close TO-
mile gap In the Hankow-Canton
Railway below the city, and Chung
king vowed bittere3t resistance to
prevent that. With the gap closed
the Japanese would have 1000
mile supply line and defensive posi-
ton dividing coastal and western
China.
The last organized enemy resist
ance on Guam ended Tuesday, Adm.
Nimitz disclosed. The end came af-
ter 10 days of rugged battling. Hun
cry, ragged, and cornered, the en-
envy garrison was chewed to bits
by explosives from warships, planes
and troops.
The first U. S. soldiers to ION
the China ground fighting fired
anti-aircraft guns point-blank at
japanese positions on Sungshan
Mountain in Yunnan Province. Cap
ture OF Sungshan would clear 25-
mile stretch OF the Burma Road
west Of the Salween River. Chinese
forces pressed for victory at Tang.

Capture TaunonI
In North Burma Allied troops cap

Many Japanese dead and abandoned

another captured village. The drive
apparently Is aimed at consolldat-
, ing Gen. Stilwell's hold on Myitky-

Systematic reduction OF Japanese
pinned in the New Guinea pocket
brought the total OF enemy dead to
at least 1907, Gen. Macarthur re-
ported. American troops pushed
east OF the Driniumor River to
destroy the remaining enemy troops
now possibly cut to half their orig
inal $4,000.
Tokyo radio claimed, without
confirmation, that two enemy sub
marines" had been attacked and
accounted for in japanese wa
tiers.
The British continued pressure
on japanese retreating from India.
