THIRD FLEET FLIERSSWEEp
 WIDE AREA
Ports, Fuel Installations Severely Damaged
 Nip Convoy Hit
By LIEF ERICKSON GA. r. War Correspondent

U. s. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD QUARTERS. PEARL HARBOR. Jan. 16--Third Fleet fliers bombed Hong Kong, Swatow and Annoy Saturday in the first full-scale carrier attacks of the war on Japan's lifeline of ports along the China coast.
 The navy announced the bold sweep of more than 300 miles ex- tending behind FormoSa, which was. pounded anew at the same time, followed by two days of Third Fleet carrier attacks along the Indo- China coast which wiped out two enemy conveys and sank or dam aged a total of 69 enemy ships.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz said no details are yet available on the China coast raids. but he moved sharply upward the previously an- nounced totals of 25 enemy ships sunk and l3 damaged off Indo- China.
 Nimitz disclosed that venturesome Third Fleet pilots sank Al Jap ships and damaged 28 in wiping out the two conveys The overall picture is that of an audacious American carrier force sweeping like 8 huge paint brush from Formosa, where more than 100 ships and 93 planes were destroyed or damaged January 8, down to Indo-China for the Thursday strikes and back to the China coast Saturday.
 Tn the Indo-China sweep Ameri- can fliers destroyed 120 planes. Seventy seven were caught on the ground, so great was the surprise, and about 50 others were damaged in the western most penetration of Japan's inner defenses.
 They also pounded the key facili- ties at Saigon and Camranh Bay, excellent Indo-China ports in en- emy hands
 Oil refineries in the Saigon area, NiNui luCA oouitC 4Ol WGlt badly damaged and fires were started in the Saigon navy yard oil storage facilities. Warehouses and buildings ill the Saigon area were set ablaze. and the large dock at Camranh Bay, one of Asia's best harbors, was demolished
 Sixteen American planes were lost in the Indo-C China raids, re- markedly few for the results achieved in crippling the area from which the Japs would likely be able to bolster slipping Philippine hold ings
 Of the two conveys knocked out, one contained an oiler, four me- dium cargo ships. two destroyer escorts, four coastal cargo ships all sunk. The second convoy included light cruiser, four destroyer es- corts. four oilers, seven medium cargo ships, two small cargo ships and one coastal vessel, all sunk or beached

MONTGOMERY DENOTED"

Afterwards, the Stars and Stripes carried a story that Bradley was being promoted to the rank of full General and would supersede Mont gomery. The Stars and Stripes being an official Army newspaper, the story naturally was true. But publication in London caused such a furor among the British that the British Broadcasting Company went on the air with an emphatic de- nial.
 After that the shift of armies was held up for a while until Mont gomery could be made a Field Marshal to appease both him and British public opinion. Bradley then took over command of all the Am erican Armies under Eisenhower and Montgomery was left only with the two British and Canadian Ar mics in Holland and Belgium.
 Since then Monty has been wait ing for his chance to stage come back. His friends of the British press-of whom he has many have been doing the same. So i'm mediately following the German he began pressuring Eisenhower to give him the Ameri- can First and Ninth Armies.
 Montgomery is a superb defensive

JUNCTION OF TWO CHINESE
 ARMIES NEAR

MYITKYINA,' Burma, Jan. 16-- Chinese patrols driving westward from Yunan Province made their first contact with patrols operat- ing in the North Burma border area, in the vicinity of Mengmao.
 It is the first meeting of Chinese armies in Burma with troops from China since Burma fell to the Japanese two and a half years ago. The two forces seek to wipe out the enemy garrison in the Chinese border town. They want the old Burma Road terminal, the last remaining obstacle to opening the new India-China overland SUD- ply route.

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

WASHINGTON-There is sig nificant background behind the ap- pointment of British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery to command two American Armies, thereby taking away most of the command of Gen. Omar Bradley. There are also interesting reasons why it was kept such a hush-hush matter from the American public.
 Gen. Bradley has now been awarded the Bronze Star by Eisen- hover and congratulated by Chur- chill to take the sting out of his loss of the First and Ninth Armies. The idea that Bradley made the transfer himself also has been pub licized. Despite these maneuvers 1t is known inside the War Depart ment that highest U. s. war chiefs opposed the transfer to Montgom- cry and that it was put across by Gen. Eisenhower anyway.
 Background of the reshuffle goes back to the landing in Normandy last summer when Montgomery was given Caen as his objective, while Bradley was to take Cherbourg. Bradley reached his objective ahead of schedule in new type of of fensive fighting, in which U. 5. troops did not wait for supplies to come up nor for snipers to be wiped out.
 Montgomery. using more conser- vative, slow-moving old-fashioned tactics, sat with his army at Caen and either could not or would not break through until long after schedule, and until Bradley, ignor- ing Montgomery, smashed the Nazl lines to the south and started the lightning dash to Paris.

Yanks Use Cellar;
Enemy Is Upstairs
American Soldiers Hide Out
While Foe Rakes House.

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN
BELGIUM. - Eleven American sol
diers, caught in town when Ger
man armor swept through it, hid for
10 hours in the cellar of a house
occupied by enemy troops.
The men were in the house and
were sitting down to breakfast when
the Germans broke into town. AS
machine gun fire began spraying the
house they dived into the cellar.
Black uniformed crews of two
German tanks broke in, searched
hastily and then sat down and ate
the Americans breakfast.
There was no way out so we just
sat tight in the cellar" said Tech.
Sgt. Jack Mcclure Of Sherman,
Texas. "We were divebombed by
our own planes and raked by our own
artillery but it was music to our
ears"
During the day, as many as Is
Germans wandered about upstairs,
ate American rations and smoked
the Americans cigarets.
One German raked the stairs and
cellar door with a pistol. Another
looked in the basement window and
passing tanks peppered the building
When German officer and an
enemy enlisted man walked into the
cellar fluffy" the Americans pet
dog, kept quiet, and the crouching
soldiers were not seen in the dark.
Shortly thereafter the pint-sized
pup began to bark playfully Afraid
to risk their lives by repeatedly try
ing to keep him quiet, one soldier
reached out in the dark and stran-
gled fluffy"
Splitting into two groups, the
Yanks made break for their own
lines after dark. AS they left they
said the Nazis started to burn down
the town and blow up captured am
munition. The men liked miles
through the mud, slush and water.
Finally, they saw a patrol ahead
and hestitated. We're they friend or
foe?
"Are you Americans" doubtfully
called one American.
mo, we are Yanks, came the
answer.
The IL men were safe.
