Fight Bill May Affect IS Million
(NEA relephoto)
By DEAN w. DITTMER United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan. ll--'(UF) Col Fracnis V. Keesling of the Selective Service System estimated today that l8,OO0,000 men, including 4-F's would be covered by the pending bill to put all draft registrants in the l8-45 year category on work or-fight basis.
 Keesling, liaison officer between Selective Service and Congress, of- fered the estimate III testifying be- fore the House Military Affairs committee on the bill providing for induction into special service units of all men who give up or refuse to take essential war work.
 He said Selective Service and oth- CT war agencies favored the bill al- ready endorsed by the War and Navy departments as a means of tightening up manpower mobiliza tion.
 Keesling also gave the committee breakdown of the monthly sched- ules byb which the armed forces plan to obtain the newly announced quota of 100000 new men during the first six months of l945.
 During January and February, he said, the Army will need 80.O00 men a month and will boost draft calls up to 100000 a month during the next four months.

Stimson called for full-scale national service legislation to meet. the nations manpower needs.
 This is no time,' he said, flor piecemeal or makeshift legislation"
 Congress( however, was concen- trating on the limited legislation which would put threat of induc- ton over men. including 4-Fs, who refuse to take or hold an essential job.
 A survey of the .manpower situa' tion, he said, showed that industry will require net increase of 700,- GOO workers to meet requirements of the war effort. This, he noted, is in addition to the 902,000 men eX- pected to go into the armed forces before June 30. And a substantial part of the 902. 900 men must come from the group now holding indus trial deferments. These will have to be replaced in industry, in addi- ton to the 100000 new war workers needed

No Escape From Draft For Men Under 3OSays Stin1son

Washington, Jan. II - U.P0 - Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today there seems to be no escape" from inducting into the armed forces all substantially-qual- flied men under 30
 He told a press conference the Army is increasing its monthly calls on selective service from S0,000 in in January and February to 100000 in March. The Army's big need is for young and physically able youths with aggresSiveness and en- durance, he said.
 Colonel Francis V. Kessling, Selec- tive Service legislative representa- tive, told a House Committee the 0,000-a-month army call rate will last through June. He said the Navy will need 32,000 men for each of the first six months of this year. These calls plus estimated enlist- ments of lS0,O00. would make grand total of 902,000 men entering the services in the six months.

U. s. Landing Alarms Jops
(By United PreSS)

The American landing on Luzon was viewed with alarm by the Japanese press today and at least one newspaper, the important Asahi Shimbun implied diSharmony among Japanese leaders by calling for g. united political front to meet the critical front to meet the critical nature of the situation.'
 According to Tokyo broadcast, reported by the EGG, Asahi de- clared the Japanese people were burning with sincere enthusiasm" and that it was up to the govern ment to take steps 50 that the elated enemy can be pulverized."
 The demand for unity added im- portance to an earlier broadcast by the Khabarovsk radio In the Soviet Far East quoting a Russian com- mentary on developments in Japan as saying recent military setbacks put strain on internal politics, sharply affected the Japanese econ- omy and lowered public morale.
 The commentary said Premier kuniaki Koiso's compromise cabi- net" was facing numerous obstacles. OdDdllcSt dIlHy Albiii lb odAN, HNlC demanding tighter economic controls on the nation while induStrialiSts were struggling to relax the grip of the military figures.
 A Domei transmission heard by the United Press in New York said the landing operatoins were the principal subjects in editorial col ums of all Japanese metropolitan newspapers.
 Domei quoted Asahi as saying the battle that has now begun on Luzon is a development of utmost gravity whose outcome will deter. mine Japan's destiny itself"
 The Yomiur Hochi Shimbun, while admitting the seriousness of the situation, was quoted as declar- ing the enemys latest reckless ad- venture represents sheer impatience on the part of the United States. now gravely confused over the gloomiest prospects at home and aboard and forced to seek some way out of the predicament by un- dertaking an offensive move in the Pacific"

Prisoner-Priest
 May Be Released

A bleak and fearful silence of three years duration was broken today by receipt here of direct communication from Rev. William (Rance) Mccarthy, Maryknoll Mis- sioner of Waterbury, who has been a prisoner of the Japanese at San Tomas. Luzon, since shortly after Pearl Harbor.
 This first direct communication to arrive since Father Mccarthy was captured was received today by his sister, Mrs. Dennis J. Sullivan and expressed the high morale of the local priest. The communica- ton, written on a Japanese Red Cross card in the priests own handwriting stated:

Casualty Sum Hits 646,38O

Washington, Jan. 11-(UP)-Of- ficially announced U. s. combat casualties, still not including those suffered in the German offensive, reached 646,380 today, an increase of 8,24l over those disclosed a week ago.
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son in announcing Army casualties compiled here through Dec. % said they did not include those suffered in the enemy drive which started Dec. 16. He added however, that he expected ito have next week the figures for December winch will cover principally the period of the German offensive"
 The overall army today announced today by Stimson was 564,3 The Navy, Marine Corps ana Coast Guard total as of last night was 82,O29.
 Army casualties were 1899 great CT than those announced week ago and included l06,952 killed, 333 ,849 wounded, GA ,283 missing and 4S,ZoI prlSONefS or war.
 The Navy total included 3l,441 dead, 36,789 wounded, 9,3ll missing and 4,479 prisoners of war.
 StimGon gave this explanation of the Army's casualty reporting methods:
 T have been giving out every week the total of Army casualties for all theaters as recorded in the latest available reports. As for the casualties in the European theater, the War Department has regularly announced about the middle of every month the losses there for the preceding month.
 T expect, in accordance with this regular practice. to have next week the figures for December which will cover principally the period of the German offensive.
 No casualty figures, therefore, have been omitted. The War De- partment simply has not thought 1t wise at a time of emergency in the theater to require that q special set of casualty figures be compiled in advance of the usual complia- tion.
 The reporting of casualty fig ures is a duty which reaches back to the small individual units in the field, and these units have had their hands full in stopping a Ger man drive and turning 1t into an Allied attack.

.ScoviII Tube Mill Dispute
 Farley Theme

Representatives Of the CIO union and Scovill Brass Workers union this morning met with William J. Fitzgerald, state war manpower di- rector at the latter's office, Hart ford, relative to the current dispute involving the Scovill company and workers of the tube mill represented by the union.
 In formal statement issued to- day, John J. MankoWski, interna- tional representative of the union, charged the company with stretch ing out for as long as possible the drama of pettinesS, sefshneSs and downright meanneSS which 1t is un- folding before the community"
 The issue revolVes around the procedure of the company in hiring and then refiring those of the group of 66 tube mill workers involved in the dispute. The company claims that by hiring back the men (Who engaged in a walk-out last Nay they are complying with the direc- tive of the VILE and in firing them immediately afterWard they are within their rights as to the option to take what disciplinary action they wish as provided for also in the recent directive. The union pro- tests the action on the basis of it's being too severe and not conform ing to the present needs of critical manpoWer"
 MT. MankoWskis statement in part today is as follows:
 It is the unions understanding that representatives of government agencies called upon the Scovill management today in an effort to change the course of this dispute, which on the company's part has been going :l q reckless direction with respect to war production.
 The company has loaded keg with powder and seems to be dang ling the fuse before anyone who might be tempted to ignite it.. It Is a tribute to the sound sense. stahil- ity and high patriotism of the em- ployes that they have ignored this provocation. These employees have their minds on the needs Of our

BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press War COrrespOndentH
 General MacArthur's Head~ quarters, Luzon, January II. - (UP) - Sixth Army Van- guards drove IS to 20 miles inland from the Lingayen Gulf today, overrunning per- haps 30 cities, towns and villages and at least one air- drome in a powerful drive across the plains of central Luzon to within 90 to 95 miles of Manila.
 Reliable reports at Gen. eral Douglas MacArthur'S headquarters said that at least a few patrols already had reached the Agno river at a point where it biSects the Luzon plains some 20 miles inland from the 20-mile wide invasion beachhead.
 The Japanese had been expected to make their first defense stand along the Agno, but military sources suggested that the enemy. caught off balance, would be unable to or ganize quickly enough to defend the river and instead would attempt to stem the American advance farther south.
 Already behind the Americans were the cities of Lingayen with it's airport, Dagupan, Mangaldan and San Fabian, as well as a cluster of 25 to 30 lesser towns and hamlets in the invasion area. All four initial beachheads had been linked and army engineers were enlarging the Lingayen airdrome for imminent | use.
 CA Tokyo broadcast heard in Lon- don said second American convoy still was in the waters west of Lin- gayen Gulf and a third west Of Panay in the central Philippines, unable to continue northWard be- cause of Japanese air attacks" With the landing on Luzon, Tokyo said, | the battle of the Philippines haA reached the decisive stage.)
