the southern coast, captured six vil- lages and plunged into Oton, only seven miles from Iloilo.
 At Oton, the troops were less than five miles southwest of Mandurriaw, with its 4,500-foot sodded airstrip The runway is almost large enough to accommodate big B-29 superfor- tresSes.
 Destroyers from Rear Admiral Ar thur D. Struble's amphibious com mand and 18th airforce bombers and fighters laid down an explosive screen as the troops hit Panay's loose sand and gravel beaches.
 MacArthur's communique said the landing was effected with complete tactical as well as strategic sur prise" and the troops went ashore with practically no loss"
 The Japanese were completely thrown off balance by the invasion and their defense forces still were disorganized as the Americans ex- banded their wo-pronged offensive
 The American drive was expected to be aided materially by Filipino guerrillas. The guerrilla force on Panay was one of the most effective in the entire Philippines. It was on Panay that Tomas Confessor, former governor of the Province and now President Sergio Osmena's secretary, held out with the guerrillas during the Japanese occupation.
 Brush,s main forces were moving along hard-surfaced gravel road and were rolling rapidly toward the Mandurriaw airstrip, which would add another important link to the faSt-moving American air base chain through the Philippines.
 It would provide another base for the sofetning- campaign on Bor- neo, south of the Philippines, the blockade of Japanese shipping in the China Sea, and the neutraliza- tion of Formosa.
 The three big target areas were again lashed Saturday with heavy bomb loads by Liberators from the 18th arifroce.
 Borneo's big airfields at Jesselton, Tarakan, Sandakan and Sepinggan were hit for the second straight day with more than 118 tons of explo- sives.
 Formosa Hit Again
 Liberators and Lightnings return ed to Formosa for the sixth success sive day to shower 249 tons of bombs on the islands western airbases The raid brought the six-day bomb total on Formosa to 1,074 tons. On the same day, patrol planes set aflre a

 Pillb0xes Caved In
 On Pattons extreme right wing, the 18th and 66th infantry divisions were caving in the last belt of Sieg- fried line pillboxes along the Saar and Theel rivers north and north west of Saarbruecken.
 The 26th gained 4h miles east from captured Dirmingen to within 6I5 miles northeast of Neunkirchen, while units of the 65th captured the stubbornly defended fortress of Saa9autern, 10 miles northeast of Saarbruecken.
 Patch's Seventh Army forces made virtually no progress on the south ern approaches to Saarbruecken yesterday, but the swift flanking drive of the Third Army from the north promised to make that city untenable in very short order.
 All along the Seventh Army line to the east, however, Patch'S forces were grinding steadily through a maze of camouflaged German fortresses and piliboxes. Doughboys of the 63rd Infantry Division made the closest approach to Neunkirchen from the south. They knocked a 4OO-yard breach in the interlocking German pillboxes i've miles east of Saarbruecken and advanced past Heckendahhen, ' 1-2 miles south of Neunkirchen.
 Other Seventh Army forces were closing on the highway centers of Zweibruecken and Pirmasens, 15 and 27 miles east of Saarbruecken. sev- enteen miles southeast of PirmasenS the 36th Infantry Division stormed and captured the German border stronghold of Wissembourg and drove three miles farther north into Otterbach
 French First Army forces farther east waded across the Lauter river into German soil and took Schei. benharct, north of captured Lauter- bourg ard directly across the Rhine from Karlsruhe
 On the American First Army front, It. General Courtney H. Hodges Remagen bridgehead forces fought all night against weakening German resistance to expand their salient east of the Rhine. The Tanks held more than 1-2 miles of the high-speed military highway fol- lowing their capture of Eudenbach and were reported moving north ward with increasing speed along the Rhine bark seven miles to the west.
 Vanguards of the First Army were battling through the streets of Ober Kassel, 10 miles north of Remagen, in a bid for a breakthrough to the open country around Beuel, four miles farther north. Beyond Beuel' which lies across the Rhine from Bonn, the Americans would have favorable fighting terrain all the way to Cologne and the RuhI basin.

ten by Father Rance since libera- tion containing his condolences to his sister, (Mrs. Sullivan), for the re- cent loss of her eldest son Joseph 1st lieutenant in the U. s. Army (Regular) who was reported killed last month in action somewhere in Holland.
 This marked strange coincidence of time and distance, both operating somewhat in reverse inasmuch as 10 word had been received until now of the welfare of the local priest in the Philippines yet he had heard Of the loss of his nephew as suffered in &C., ton in Europe.
 This came about, it was revealed, as result of news of the army lieu tenant forwarded to a soldier with MacArthur's forces from resident of Thomaston. This member of the liberating forces subsequently, en- countered Father Mccarthy follow ing the liberation and in the course of the conversation revealed the in- formation.
 The following dramatic quota tions comprise the greater share Of the first letter sent by the local priest and received yesterday telling sog raphically between the lines and by intimidation the suspense, suf- fering and bleak, despairing drab- ness of life at Los Banos:
 T send my kindest regards and best wishes to all. I am glad to re- port that am well and most happy in my newly found freedom.

A period of starv- ation had already been well estab- lished for some time. Daily our food ration was becoming less and less. Small quantities of rice daily and few weeds which each individual could gather together was all that we had for some days. The last days consisted of one meal day and that a most meagre one.

Food Supply Inquiry Set
By JOHN l.. CUTTER

Washington, March 20 - U.P) l-Congress rolled up its sleeves to- day for a careful look at the na- tions food basket and the reasons why it's contents were dwindling so rapidly.
 The Senate got a jump on the House by approving a $5,000 appro- priation for a special investigation by an agriculture subcommittee.
 But the House was not far be- hind. Its Rules Committee tent atively scheduled arguments late this afternoon on resolution by Representative Clinton P. Anderson, D., N. M, to create a flve-man spe- cial committee for 8 similar investi- gation. The measure provides $l0,- 900 for the inquiry.
 Like the resolution approved by the Senate yesterday, Andersons would grant the Investigating com- mittee wide powers to look into the 12 per cent cut in civilian meat al- locations for the next three months and the effect of lend-lease on the supply for American civilians.
 The resolution reflected Congress sional irritation over prospects that Americans will have to do with less food whileg reater supplies are ship ped overseas. Anderson proposed that the investigators look into "the extent to which meat is being stock piled by other nations at the ex- pense of citizens of the United States"
 War Food Administrator Marvin Jones acknowledged in radio ad- dress (Blue Network last night that many important food items were scarce. But other items, he said, are plentiful and if properly distributed will assure the people a good wholesome diet"
 Two other resolutions for inveSti- gations also were proposed yester- day. They were offered by Repre- sentatives August H. Andresen, R., Minn., and Edward H. Rees, R., Kans., who proposed that the in- quiries be conducted by an agricul- tural ub-committee.
 In both the House and Senate, the resolutions gaining favor were spon- sored by Democrats, but generally the drive for Congressional action was spearheaded by Republicans. In series of one-minute speech es in the house yesterday Republi- can speakers accused the admins tration of interfering with, harass- ing and hopping on our farmers"
 There were charges that the ad- ministration "haS done everything possible to discourage food pro- ducers, to drive him out of business and create a food shortage"

Negro WACS Toke Stand
BY ESTELLE BOND

Fort Devens, Mass, March 20. = (UP) - Three Negro WACS were to testify at their court martial today why they and companion refused to work at hospital here ever when ordered by Major General Sherman Miles of the First Service Command.
 Those facing the nine-man hear ing panel to answer for their con- duct March 10 are: Pvt. Johnnie Murphy of 214 First street, Rankin. Pa; Pvt. Alice Young of 633 Mor- ton street, N. w., Washington; and Pvt. Mary E. Green of Conroe Texas. The penalty for their of- fense, an Army spokesman said is death or such punishment as the court may decide"
 A fourth member of the WAC company, Pvt. Anna c. Morrison of 215 Estill avenue, Richmond, Ky, testified at the first session yester- day that Negroes were discriminated against and forced to do menial tasks. They said they were assigned to make beds, sweep and dust the floors, and prepare trays, and she added that she never saw any of the white WACS with either a broom or mop"
 T just felt could have laid right down and died" Pvt. Morrison said when asked by the defense counsel how the work affected her. T couldn't go on any longer. l wanted to scream and scream-and that's what I did"

Yet in the morning when most of the fires has been brought under control and pale blue smoke was rising over the streets and smouldering ruins, one could realize the good effects of the measures adopted earlier to guard against fire"
 The report said wide fire lanes had been cut to contain the flames. Those bombed out were cared for in evacuation trains and communal canteens, 1t said.
