brazen attempt" by Edward v.
Loughlin, Tammany leader who
sponsored Mr.. Davis Endorsement,
Ito deliver our party into the hands
of the Communists. Every decent
organization will join us in this
fight"
Certainly the weakest excuse
that could be offered by Loughlin
and his associates is that expedi-

thing to hold the Nego vote" Mr.
Kennedy added. They are paying
the hundreds of thousands of fine
colored men and women in the city
no compliment when they select a
Communist to represent them

they see their industries being
smashed by American bombings." "
Mr.. Gallagher, who was a PEN

3 U. 5. Flyers Return
After Six Months in
Jap-HeId Borneo Zone
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, July 23.-Three United
States 7th Fleet flyers reported
missing and presumed dead have re-
turned to a Navy advanced airbase
in the Philippines after surviving
six months in enemy-held Borneo.
They are 1t. q. g. Robert j.
Graham, Rosemont. Pa: Reuben L.
Robbins, aviation machinists mate,
Omak, Wash. and James r. Shep-
herd, aviation machiniSts mate, sec
ond class, San Diego, Calf.
Five of the six other members
OF their Liberator patrol bomber
were captured and killed by jap
anese. The sixth escaped earlier.
While on a routine mission last
January l3, their big plane was
attacked by four enemy fighters and
forced to land in rice paddy near
Brunei Bay One man had been
wounded fatally in the aerial attack
but nine survivors, unharmed in the
crash landing, jumped from the
bomber as it sank in the mud.
For 13 days they walked into the
Hinterland. They were weak and
hungry and all of them suffered
from malaria.
ut looked for a time as II the
mosquitoes would claim all of US,
Graham said. Robbins and Shep-
herd were fat on their backs for
three weeks"
japanese patrols drew close to
the little band. For security. the
party split into three groups and hid
in the jungle.
Graham heard that two Army
airmen were hiding out in another
village and after four-day walk in
which he was trailed by Jap patrols
he succeeded in reaching them. The
Army flyers convinced Graham they
stood better chance of escape il
the groups got together, so the party
of three turned back to the village
where Graham's friends had set UP
camp.
To their horror, they found that
japanese had caught five of the
original. party and had executed
them.
They left the area as quickly as
possible and walked deeper into the
jungle toward a village where ma
tives had indicated there were five
more white men. There they found
friendly Dutch official who fec
them solid meats and cooked foods.
With the help of natives they
built crude airstrip by embedding
bamboo slabs in the mud. An Aus
tralian plane spotted the stranded
Americans and carried them out O.
the wilderness to safety.

opened wide to drench them after

The first European units which
arrived here a week ago we're from
Italy. Arrivals yesterday were
mostly engineering units such as
petroleum distribution, forestry,
construction and repair battalions.
The men appeared to be in good
spirits, but the universal refrain
was: "It wouldn't be so bad If we
could have had a little furlough
at home on the way out here"
However, they griped good hum
oredly, with wisecracking. Mostly,
they were curious.
rs there any truth to the wide
spread ship rumor that Russia has
invaded Manchuria?"
What about the liquor supply,
and women?"
Are there any amusements
around here?"
do you know where they're going
to send us?"
The only mass display of en-
thusiasm came when the first WACs
drove along the boulevard The
men broke into wild cheering.

Spectators ashore saw a wide con-
trast of emotions during the day
A few hours earlier several hundred
Yanks had boarded landing barges
to start the voyage home after more
than three years in the Pacific.
They presented a much different
spectacle" said Pfc. John Gee, Phil
adelphia, on shore duty. They
were loaded with souvenirs an6

The troops who arrived yesterday
had been more than 80 days al

ship, they had been on the longest
transport haul the United States
Navy had ever made. Most OF
them had been in Europe from
5 To u months.

Jap Mountain Retreat
In North Luzon Taken
By u. ). 9Th Division

! BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, July 23.-American 9Th
Infantry Division troops, driving 8
miles along a highway lined with
enemy dead, have captured the jap
anese mountain retreat of Banaue
in Northern Luzon and are within
212 miles of a junction with Philip
pine Army forces pushing down
from the northwest. Q
When the two join, japanese
remnants on the island will be di-
vided into three segments, in one of
which, according to persistent native
reports, is Gen. TomoyuN Yama-
shita, once commander of all the
Philippines.
A headquarters spokesman dis
closed these new gains in the grind
ing cleanup campaign as a COM
munique announced that during the
last week 3,629 Japanese dead had
been counted and 403 of the enemy
had surrendered, raising their cas-
ulties for the entire Philippines to
432 ,764, including 11,171 captured.
American casualties for the week
were IL killed, 2 missing and 4S
wounded.
Advance Is Tough.
Although the Philippines liberia
ton is officially three weeks old, the
9Th Division advance northward
along Highway 4 has been one of
the most difficult of the entire cam
paign.
The highway, which the troops
call skeleton row." has been dyna-
mited by the Japanese in three
places where it clung to rock ledge
above gorges.
One American jeep was caught
between the first two blocks and
has remained there, performing a
shuttle service along the IA miles
from one gap to another. Across
the gaps themselves it is necessary
to carry everything by hand. At
another point the American engi-
neers bridged the Ibulao River by
using wrecked enemy trucks as
piers.
The road is so lined with enemy
dead that it is impossible to walk
so feet without seeing the bare
bones-often grotesquely still clad
in uniform-of fallen Japanese.
They were caught by United States
5th Air Force strafing planes before
the ground troops climbed into that
wild region.
Yamashita Believed Alive.
Still among the living, however,
according to recurring native re-
ports, is Gen. Yamashita. Reports
brought to the 9Th Division say he
is hiding out, hungry, in the noun
tains with a picked bodyguard of 300
troops, and that he was in Kiangan
shortly before that stronghold fell
to the Americans recently.
1t had been suspected that he had
fled by air weeks ago, but japanese
broadcasts recently asserted he still
was leading his troops in the field.
Regardless of Gen. YamaShita's
whereabouts, hunger and hopeless
ness are increasing the Japanese
surrenders. On Friday alone rs SOL
dierS and nine civilians voluntarily
gave up to the 9Th Division.
Survivors still in the dense for
est bounded by the American-held
Highways 4, and IL are in miser-
able condition. Reliable reports de-
scribe many of them as starving and
so poorly armed that there often
is only one rifle for every 10 men.
