Jap Retreat in Burma
Nears Rouf, but China
Faces Fall Of kweiIin
By the Associated Press.


While the Japanese fought des
perately yesterday to retain thei
foothold on Leyte In the Philip
pines, and were on the run in West.
ern Burma and on the Chinese sid,
Of the Burma border, they met with
some success in one theater O
war-China.
They were knocking at the dool
Of Kweilin, hub of China's impor.
tant southeastern defense system.
The Japanese situation in Burma
was so critical there was possibilit,
OF their total withdrawal from that
country.
A Chinese high command COM
munique said intense fighting was
in progress in the suburbs OF
Kweilin. American airmen, flying In
support of the hard-pressed Chi
nese, killed more than 750 japanese
soldiers and many horses in the
Kweilin sector.
Jap Supply Lines Suffer.
Meanwhile, Radio Berlin, quoting
Tokyo, said Japanese forces cap
tured Kweilin.
The Chinese hit at the japanese
Kweilin supply lines as they recap
tured all strong positions on the
western and northern outskirts of
Tungan, 80 miles northeast of the
Kwangsi capital.
Another japanese column struck
to within 18 miles southwest of
Kweilin and 80 miles northeast of
Liuchow. The latter is now the
chief railway center in Free China
An American airbase is located
there.
In Northwestern Burma the
Japanese retreat to the south and
east continued as British Indian
troops took strong japanese defense
position on Fort White road in the
Tiddim sector.
On the Chinese side of the Burma
frontier line, where the prize of war
is the vital Burma Road, the Japa-
nese fled over mountains trails after
losing Lungling city.
Total Withdrawal Possible.
Possibility of total japanese with
drawal from Burma was posed by
Preston Grover, Associated Press
war correspondent in Asia. Noting
the rapid Allied advance in North
Burma against little opposition, Mr..
Grover raised three possibilities:
First that the badly beaten jap
anese may be running toward a
southern defense line to solve sup
ply problems; second, that they are
fearful of British Eastern Fleet
strike against Rangoon and are
hurrying southwark to meet it; or
third, that their situation in Burma
has deteriorated to such an extent,
because of American Pacific sue
cesses, that the japanese are con-
verging in South Burma prepara-
tory to possible total withdrawal.
During the spring and summer
the Japanese in North Burma were
estimated to have lost around 100,-
600 fighting men killed.
