MORE ENEMY NAVAL GRAFT
 SENT DOWN
Heavy Cruiser Sunk and Three Other Vessels
 Damaged
By CHARLES McMURTRY

UNITED STATES PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS. PEARL HARBOR, Oct. 31-American Naval airmen heaped new damage on the battered Japanese Navy in weekend raids on Luzon Island, increasing to 61 the toll of enemy ships sunk or damaged within the week in Philippine waters.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz an- ncunced the new strikes and fol- lowed with the results: a heavy cruiser probably sunk, two cruisers damaged, an oil tanker damaged, three coastal cargo vessels sunk and 90 enemy planes destroyed
 The three cruisers may have been fleeing to home waters from last weeks engagement, part of which was fought in the dangerous San Bernardino Strait separating Samar and Luzon, or from one of the three naval air clashes of last week, in which the Japanese Navy lost 58 vessels. Twenty-four of these were sunk, 13 probably sunk and 2l damaged Three coast al vessels were sunk off Sweeim Over Cebu Island, immediately west of Leyte, where American Liberator forces hold two-thirds of the island, l9 enemy fighter planes which attempted to interfere were downed
 The enemy airforce tried hard to get at Admiral Mitscher's carriers, which are part of Admiral Hai- sey's mighty Third Fleet. Twelve Japanese fighters and dive bomb- CTS were downed near the carriers Saturday and two more Sunday.

The recall of Gen. Joseph Stil- well, Commander of the China Burma India theatre, was in part a drastic realignment of the whole American and Allied position in that war area.
 It wcs brought about by a com bination of political and strategi- cal developments such as only the Orient could produce.
 A dispatch from New Delhi dis closed
 Preston Grover, Associated Press Correspondent in New Delhi, whose dispatch pasted the censorship of the Allied and Indian command, wrote that issues between the United States and China came to head after the arrival of Maj. Gen. Patrick Hurley and President Roosevelt's personal emissary, Don aid Nelson, in Chungking. Both, Grover said, were carrying vast powers designed to get from China some solid commitments for in- creased cooperation with the Am ericans in their war against Japan
 Virtual Threats Made
 The commitments given, Asso- ciated Press was told, were vir- tually under threat of American withdrawal of the support of the government of Generalissimo Chi ang Kai Shek.
 Other sources interpreted the Stilwell incident as (D of a poli- tical triumph of the anti-Demo- cratic regime of China.

 "S0ftening Attitude"
 Grover said AP was informed under circumstances that left little doubt as to accuracy that the last minute softening of the American attitude resulted in the withdrawal of Stilwell from the triple com mand as a face-saving and pacify- ing gesture demanded by Chiang
 Hurley and Nelson had demanded that Chiang reorganize his cabinet to eliminate reactionary obstruc- tionists and anti-foreign members and that an American general be given command of major Chinese operations against the Japanese. These terms were put forward forcefully and were sometimes backed by specific messages from the President.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Oct. 3l-- For the second time within few years, Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes has been con- demned by a Federal Grand Jury in Alaska.
 The jury here, submitting a re- port to Federal District Judge George F. Alexander, said:
 We must vehemently protest the action of the Interior Department, headed by Harold L. Ickes, in in- stituting the action to set aside private and public lands, thereby establishing and creating further Indian reservations in Alaska, and thus upsetting the entire economic structure of both whites and In- dians in the Territory of Alaska. ?
 A few years ago, a jury at Fair banks condemned Ickes for im- posing a freight toll on truckers of the Richardson Highway and in dismissing informations filed ask ing indictments.

GEN. MacARTHURS HEAD QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP PINES. Oct. 31--American troops drove an iron-tipped spearhead across the northern tip of Leyte Island today, after capturing Jaro, final mid-island Japanese strong, hold and final showdown ap- peared imminent along Carigara Bay, while a Manifestations ty- phoon roared across the island.
 Maj. Gen. Fred Irving's 24th Division pushed onward from Jaro, in northwestern Lcyte Valley, seek ing to close the 10-mile gap sep arating it from the First Cavalry Division on the bay
 Sizeable Japanese forces evidently reached the bay and are centered for final battle. Japanese rein- forcements landed further south on the west coast at Ormoc, the communique reported
 Enemy Casualties Heavy
 Estimated enemy Leyte and Samar casualties totaled 24,o00 in the first 10 days of the campaign. against 706 Americans killed, 200 missing, and 2.245 wounded.
 The communique reported that the 24th Division drove the Japa- nese rear guards out of Jaro, after 14-mile march through wind and rain from Pastrana, in the central Leyte Valley.
 Japs Fight Hard
 The Nipponese fought bitterly for Jaro, bringing up reinforce ments. The town was captured at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, by an armor-led division.
 On the Japanese escape route to the hills. blocked by numerous Filipino guerrillas who held high points above Jaro, First Cavalry forces held tight pressure on the enemy left flank, holding the only other road through the valleys northwestern sweep.
 At headquarters of the Sixth Army, 1t was considered doubtful that the Japanese in Leyte could escape from the multi-pronged squeeze there.
 The American breakthrough to the coast would cut the island i'll half for the liquidation of the Japanese in the Jaro sector. and permit the Americans to move more swiftly to the coast, Gen. Irving said

British, Canadian Forces Give Chase -Fogs Are
 SheIfering Enemy

LONDON, Oct. 31.-British troops, chasing the Germans in south- western Holland, have reached the Maas River within a half mile of the Geertruidenberg bridge, one of the main spans of the enemy's fog shrouded escape ways over the river.
 The British wing stuck to the Maas, due north of Tilburg, while Canadian forces. westward nearer the coast, lost contact with the Ger mans fleeing to the river.
 The Hollsch and Diep highways, below the river, are black with German transports and motor col- umns. six to twelve miles long, which formed up at the Moerdijk and Will lemstad bridge ferry crossings, ten and IS miles west of Geertruiden- berg. Fog saved them from the flashing by Allied planes.
 Heavy seesaw fighting ragged on the western flank in Holland, where strong German armor was halted. Allied troops regained part of Leis- sel, one of the two towns lost to the Germans.
 The Canadians fought on the causeway to Walcheren Island, the last barrier to the opening of Ant werp harbor, after taking 2500 prisoners in the seizing of the ad- joining Schelde estuary island of South Beveland, the front dispatch said.
 It was estimated that perhaps only ten to twenty thousand Ger mans are left below the Maas River line.
 The French city of Maizieres Les Metz, six miles north of Metz, was cleared after three weeks of bitter street fighting. Otherwise little but patrol activity was reported from Aachen to the Swiss border.

RUSSIANS AIM BLOW,
 BUDAPEST
Battle Between Danube, Lower Tiszd River,
 Nearing Climax

LONDON, Oct. 31- Russian troops have broken into Kecskemet, fourth largest Hungarian city, 50 miles southeast of Budapest, in an of- fensive aimed at the capital, Berlin said. However, troops are declared to have been driven out.
 "The battle between the Danube and lower Tisza River is reaching a climax" DNB said, and added although superior forces have succeeded in squeezing back the Hungarian lines, they are nowhere able to tear up the front"
 Berlin said also that Russians between Warsaw and East Prussia resumed attacks along the entire Narew River front, with the heaviest fighting north and south of the Polish river town of Pull tusk, 40 miles south of the East Prussian frontier. This indicated another wide breach in German defenses along the river, already crossed at Sonock and Rozan.
 Intense Russian attacks in the Latvian pocket, southeast of the Baltic port of Liepaja. were re- ported by Berlin. The Germans said that the battle of East Prus- sia may be regarded as termin- ated" because the attacks by 35 Russian infantry divisions and sev- eral tank corps have been weak ened in the IA days of violent combat in which l,O66 tanks and 337 cannon were destroyed or cap- tured.
 The Russian communique was silent on the Red Army offensive in Latvia and Hungary.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Ct. Col. Robert G. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-When Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his foreign policy speech, advocating the right of world council to crack down on aggressors without debate by the U. $. Congress, two distin- guished Republican ex-Secretaries of State must have applauded quietly, while one late COP Secre- tary of State must have applauded from his grave.
 The three ex-Secretaries are Charles Evans Hughes, Henry L. Stimson and Frank B. Kellogg. For approximately 12 years they tried to get their chiefs in the White House and Republican leaders to move just a little bit toward this vital, all-important change in conducting U. s. foreign affairs.
 However, they failed - just as Senator Ball failed to get Coy. Dewey to move recently.
 This has been the basic factor in foreign affairs which has ham, strung the Republican Party for two decades. Certain of it's enlight- ened leaders = Hughes, Stimson, Kellogg, Elihu Root--battled val iantly to force a change. But they never succeeded More powerful leaders of the COP always swung the party back to the theory that the Senate was all-powerful; that a group of filibustering Senators from sparsely populated western states should rule the thickly .popu- lated east and dominate the foreign
