Rich Borneo Oil Fields Seized
By Aussies in 60-MiIe March;
Can Be Put in Operation Soon
Product Sufficiently
Pure for Ship Use
Without REFINING
By the Associated Press,

oS tut hSSOCldleQ PIeSS.
MANILA, Sunday, June a.
Australian 9th Division troops
on Borneo have seized the great
Seria oil fields without opposi-
ton after a spectacular 6O-mile
march southwest down the is
lands north coast, Gen. Mac
Arthur'S headquarters an
nounced today.
The rich Japanese-sabotaged oil
district was taken Thursday night
and Friday morning, it was dis
closed.
Some of the so producing wells
were burning as a result of enemy
demolitions when the Australians
moved in.
Refining Not Essential.
The field, which before the war
produced 100000 tons annually, had
been destroyed once before, in 1912,
just before the japanese arrived.
1t was expected to be put back
into operating condition in a COM
paratively short time, however, and
will be valuable addition to the
Allied war supplies, as its petroleum
is sufficiently pure to be used as
ships bunker oil without refining.
Airfield Already Seized.
The Australians already had cap
tured the Miri airfeld 20-odd miles
down the coast from Seria after
shore-to-shore operation and were
advancing in the town of Miri, heart
of another oil field district which
had begun to play out before the
war.
The Melbourne radio said the
Aussies also had smashed the last
japanese resistance of Labuan
Island, in the mouth of Brunei
Bay, where they made their initial
landings June 10, and also had
cleared out Tarakan Island, off
Borneo's east coast, which they in
vaded on May l.
Gen. Macarthur did not mention
Labuan but confirmed the end of
organized resistance on Tarakan
and said that Allied planes dropped
more than $50 tons of bombs on
Borneo in support of ground opera
tons.

More Beef Due

Military Purchases
Of Lamb, Veal Also
Decreased by VIA
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

Price Administrator Chester
Bowles predicted last night that
beef shipments into Washington,
Baltimore, New York and other
Eastern cities will be stepped up
in the next 80 days as a result
of Government action cutting
back procurement of beef for the
armed forces during the next two
months.
Meanwhile. it was learned that
the War Food Administration had
signed a second order yesterday
which will reduce military purchases
OF lamb and veal in Federally In
spected plants.
AS it stands now, the armed forces,
beginning July /, will take 80 instead
Of so per cent of choice, good and
commercial grades of beef in all
Federally inspected plants. SINH
larly, military buying of veal will
drop from IS to 30 per cent, and
lamb from 20 to Is per cent.
A third development in the meat
picture yesterday was a VIA an
nouncement that authorized poultry
processing plants on the Delmarva
Peninsula will be allowed, starting
tomorrow, to channel 80 per cent of
their chicken production to civilians
instead of the present 10 per cent.
Bowles Elated.
Obviously elated over the turn in
events as criticism Of the OPA con-
tinued to mount in Congress and
elsewhere, Mr.. Bowles declared:
The fact that the Army has cut
the 'set-aside' on beef in Federally
inspected packing houses from 81
per cent to 80 per cent is certainly
good news for meat-hungry civilian.

RhineIundZone
Goes to French
ForOccupution
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 22.-France, in
vaded twice in a lifetime from
across the Rhine, appeared to-
night to have won her major de-
mand-for French troops to oc-
cupy every mile of German soil
adjacent to her frontier.
The Ministry of Information an
nounced officially that the French
had been given the right to oc-
cupy the southern half of the
Saar Basin as well as almost all
of the province of Baden.
That would put her soldiers on
guard along 200 miles of the Saar
Palatinate and on the Rhine
frontier from Luxembourg to
Switzerland.
The French zone, which Gen.
Charles de Gaulle's government has
protested, has been too long de-
layed in demarcation, filled in the
plICuIC VI AulCu QINlolOll VI Illt
Reich for occupational purposes.
No Allied Announcement.
There has been no co-ordinated
detailed inter-Allied announcement
of the division, but the Russians
announced their zone and outlined
what purportedly are the official
boundaries between the American
and British zones.
Moscow has said the Russian zone
takes in the territory east of a line
running south, roughly in the cen
ter of the Reich, from point on
the shore of the Gulf of Lubbock,
where the borders of Schleswig-
Holstein and Mecklenberg meet.
At its southern extremity it bulges
abruptly westward and takes in
Thuringia Province and runs east
along the frontier of Bavaria as far
as the 1887 Czechoslovak frontier.

SEATTLE, June 23.-The Coast
Guard at Ketchikan today issued
what was termed here a routine
warning that floating mines had
been discovered along the Alaska
coast and that mariners should leave
them alone but Immediately report
their presence to the authorities.
Reports that the japanese were
attempting to blocade coast shipping
by floating mines across the ocean
on the japanese current were
branded bizarre" and ridiculous"
by the 18th Naval District head
quarters. 1t stated mines have been
reported periodically along the
coast since the outbreak of war and
there have been no explosions and

 Already books full of plans had been approved by Roosevelt and Churchill, by the American Army Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall; the Navy Commander in Chief, Admiral Ernest King and an array of god-braided military men ID Washington and London
 If Ike were concerned about the risks in this tremendous problem of invasion = perhaps the greatest military problem any commander ever faced in history-he could at least be assured that he would have incredible amount of strength with which to solve it.
 The British were specuating wryly then of the chances of their island sinking under the weight of Allied troops and equipment concentrated on It. The entire countryside became vast network of invasion supply dumps with mountains of munitions above and beneath the ground. There were mil lions of bullets incendiaries by the thousands ton after ton of bombs Motor trucks and tanks were stationed parking grounds that stretched as far as the eye could see.

 But the Rising Sun still felt safe New Guinea for the Japanese had built at Wewak one of the most powerful garrsons in their outlying empire
 MacArthur simply by-passed Wewak in swift massive stroke" In April he jumped to Holandla and nearby Atape and easily won his beaches against the weakened opposition. And when the out guessed Japanese moved up from Wewak Macarthur had defenses ready to kill them.
 The Tanks now could almost see the Philippines ahead In May they moved on the Wakde Islands, l15 miles west of Hollandia, and landed on Bak, oil western New Guineas coast. There were only few more jumps to come-and then vengeance for Bataan.
 Nirntz took different route. From the G1lberts his planes and warships under the command of Admiral Spruance ripped the Marshalls to the north and on January 31 troops landed on the atol of Majuro to find the Japanese had fled. This was a magnificent gift, for Majuro had fine naval anchorage well suited to the Navy's needs, and while Marines moved up to Roi and Namur and Army forces climbed onto Kwajalein, carriers under Admiral Marc Mitscher already were resting in it's waters
 The carriers soon moved, along with battleshlps, cruisers and destroyers up to the most dreaded enemy base in the whole central Pacific. This was mysterious rocky Truk, the Japanese Pearl liar
