NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
On Battle Fronts East
And South Of Manila
By the Associated Press.

~ ttit ASootldttu Tltos. a.
MANILA, Sunday, Mar. 11.-Hard-
hitting Americans have scored
gains on mountainous battlefronts
east and south of Manila while
their air force dealt heavy blows
southwark against Mindanao Island
and northward against strategic
Balete Pass on Luzon. Allied Head
quarters disclosed today.
Gen. Macarthur reported strong
force of Liberators dropped 300 tons
on Zamboanga, on Mindanac
Island. Thursday and Friday. II
was the heaviest strike yet in that
area, which the japanese said was
invaded Friday.
Elements of the 1St Cavalry
liberators of Santo Tomas, thrust
into Antipolo in the foothills 1a
miles east of Manila against sur
prisingly light resistance.
Town Not Yet Taken.
A headquarters spokesman said
the town was not fully secured.
Antipolo is the southern anchor
of the strongly defended Shimbu
Line which the 9Th Division to the
north preached in major push
after prolonged and bloody fighting
during the last three days. The 9th
advanced approximately one mile.
Fifty miles south of Manila the
158th Regimental Combat Group
made a emile gain against long
range machine gun and rifle fire
to secure the road net between
Lake Taal and Batangas Bay
southeast of Manila.
Rough terrain and enemy de-
fenses in the mountains are pro-
vlding stiff opposition for the 25th
and 32d Divisions to the north.
More than 100 supporting Liberators
bombed installations at Balete Pass,
the entrance to Cagayan Valley.
Tokyo Reports Ignored.
Gen. Macarthur again ignored
Tokyo radio reports that American
forces have landed at Zamboanga,
key city on the southwest coast
of Mindanao Island.
japanese defense points and sup
ply depotS were blasted in the raids
on Zamboanga. A bridge also was
hit
Fighter -bombers also struck Co.
tabato on Mindanao across the Moro
Gulf from Zamboanga
Flyers reported large fires in fuel
dumps were started at Zamboanga
One American plane was lost in the
attack.
AT the same time 1t. Gen. George
G. Kenney's Far Eastern Command
flyers continued hammering attacks
on Borneo, striking Magyar air
drome at Balikpapan. a 2,000-ton
Japanese freighter was effectively"
attacked to the south.
Indicative of the deadly effective
ness of the concentrated bombing
and artillery fire was the discovery
of 900 japanese bodies in one sector
of the zambales foothills, the COM
munique reported
Jap Installations Captured.
The 1st Cavalry and 9Th Infantry
Divisions in their drive against the
Shlmbu Line captured installations
used by the japanese to launch
rockets capable of flying 4 or 5
miles. The devices could fire three
rockets simultaneously. The mis-
siles, containing seven propellent
charges and loaded with picric acid,
were conceded to be very powerful,
but Of doubtful accuracy.
Tokyo reported without confrma-
ton that American Super Forts
were using bases in the Philippines
for strikes on Formosa.
Gen. MacArthur's communicates
have reported daily strikes on
Formosa or into the China Sea. but
never have disclosed the kind of
plane making the attacks.
