Joseph w. Stilwell contacted Amer
ican infantrymen under Brigadier
General Frank Merrill Tuesday,
completing the movement which
cut off the main retreat road for
more than 1000 Japanese trapped
in HukaWng Valley.
The successful completion of the
maneuver isolated Walawbum, the
small village which had been held
by Merrill's forces and then by
the Japanese. Merrill isolated the
village by cutting the main Japa-
neSe communications with enemy
forces westward and northward.
The junction of Stilwell's and
Merrill's forces was made in the
WalaWbum area, where the two
units are now fighting side by side.
The japanese are falling back
steadily.
The enemy forces suffered "ex-
tremely heavy casualties" while
the United States losses were neg

Jordan Would
Extend Vote
To Teeners

SACRAMENTO, March g. (UP)-
Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan
Wednesday proposed that California
start action this year to permit
servicemen under q years of age to
vote.
He asked Governor Earl Warren
to include the proposal in a call for
a special session of the legislature
the governor is expected to issue
late in May.
ut seems to me- Jordan said,
that if the government considers
a boy of 10 qualified to offer his
life to his country, he should be
given the same privileges as other
citizens when it comes to the ques-
ton of voting.
A constitutional amendment would
be required to lower the California
voting age and action probably
could not be completed this year,
but Jordan declared that I'VE should
be prepared for other years if the
war continues The proposed meas
ure would apply only in time of
war.
Jordan said he had been receiving
from 10 to 80 letters a day from
under-age servicemen on the fight
ing fronts who thought they should
te allowed to vote

RADIO, traditional Democratic strong
hold, swung into the Republican
ranks Wednesday with the election
of Dean M. Gillespie, 59-year-old
businessman, to the national house

Gillespie won by less than 5000
