used airstrip, which was captured in the early stages of the landing. The strip was reported overgrown with grass and pocked with bomb craters, but it was expected to be cleared soon.
 Australian troops meanwhile drove two miles north of the air. field. That put them about five miles from the northern tip of the island.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who wis., tied abuan the first day of the in- vasion, yesterday went ashore on the mainland and went four miles inland to the front lines.
 Rarely is such great strategic surprise obtained at such low cost of fife" Macarthur said in a state ment.
 Bulldozers made in Peoria, H., were clearing a path through the tangled tropical undergrowth for tanks and trucks. American planes strafed and bombed ahead of the advancing Australians and drew some ground fire in action.
 Eden- Hike Setting
 Front dispatches described the campaign as being fought in an Eden-like setting of lush tropical flowers and trees, with strange and beautiful bird-calls mingling with gunfire in the air.
 One dispatch reported that Amer ican amphibioils forces were work ing to establish shore base from which further operations can be staged indicating more landings in Borneo were in prospect.
 In the Philippines, the Japanese formed new resistance line north of Bagabag in the Cagayan valley of Northern Luzon. The 37th division continued its northward drive, but resistance was stronger. Seven enemy tanks were knocked out.
 Attack bombers and fighters, at- tempting to loosen up the new Japanese defense positions, dropped 322 tons of bombs on the enemy. They caught one large truck con- voy northwest of Bagabag and de stroyed 48 vehicles.
 Enemy shore positions on Luzon's northern coast again were shelled.

ritory since the end of the war was made in an orderly, mechanical manner. The U. s. 76th Division withdrew under orders to the west bank of the Mulde as Red Army forces came in from Chemnitz. The U. s. forward elements tok up po- sitions in the western half of zwic- kau and to the south of it.
 General Courtney H. Hodges First Army troops won this part of Germany. Although they reached the Elbe, they never formally oc- cupied the 22-mile corridor be- tween the MuIde and Elbe due east of Leipzig. Farther south the First Army was on the outskirts of Chem nitz.
 Both the Russians and Americans have indicated they were ready to move in or out as the case might be, in keeping with government agree ments. But until yesterday both sides had Kept still for lack of or ders and liaison.
 The 18th Army Group staff officer said it was impossible to speculate on how long it would take the Rus sians to complete the occupation of their assigned territory because we just haven't any idea as to what the area will consist of."

Pole Leader Rejects Bid

future action.
 The other two London Polish leaders invited to Moscow, former Premier Stanislaw Mikolajczyk of the exile regime and Socialist party leader Jan Stanczyk, were expected to accept the big three's bid and leave by plane Thursday.
 The exile governments spokeS- man aid Zakowski, a Socialist and social worker who never had been active politically, had affirmed his allegiance to the London govern ment as the only body truly rep resentative of majority of Poles.
 It was reported that Zakowski had written Arciszewski of. his re- fusal to accept the Moscow invita- tion.
 The governments spokesman said ArciSzeWski and his cabinet regret ted that 'the proposed conference cannot be truly representative"
 There can be no doubt that this government represents a great ma- jority of Poles, both in London and abroad" the spokesman said.
 Tt is sadly significant that no representatives of the parties com- posing this government were in- vited."
 He expressed his conviction that Mokolajczyk would insist upon the release of 16 Polish leaders held by the Red Army for "diversionist" activity as a preliminary require ment for the forthcoming confer ence.
 Friends of Mikola jczyk said he also probably would inform Russia that the withdrawal of occupation forces from Poland with the excep- tion of those required for mainten- ance of supply lines would contrib ute to the success of negotiations. A joint Big Three statement is- sued simultaneously in London, Washington and Moscow last night said the conference would begin Friday.
 In addition to three London Poles, the Big Three invited four representatives of the Soviet-sup- ported Polish provisional govern ment in Warsaw and five Demo- cratic leaders from within Poland to participate.
 The latter group included Win centy Witos, Peasant party leader and twice premier of Poland before the Pilsudski dictatorship. The Big Threes statement said the conference was being convened III accordance with the Crimean agreement to discuss the organiza- ton of the provisional government at Warsaw on a broader basis that would permit its recognition by the United States and Britain. Whitehall circles said the con- ference largely was the result of British instigation despite reports attributing it to Harry L. Hopgins, who has just completed a mission to Moscow for President Truman.
 British observers and diplomatic correspondents were cautiously op- timistic over chances of the con- ference for success.

 Escort For Convoy
 In preparation for their show show here at Hamilton Park start ing at 8:l5 p. m. June 21, the Army team will arrive in Waterbury next Wednesday morning, Major CoSti- gan reported. The convoy of II, 2 1-2 ton six by six vehicles is sched- uled to arrive at the Wolcott- Wa terbury town line at 10:30 a. m. A police escort will lead the convoy into the Center where, after being assigned to quarters at the Central Y. M. c. A., the men will prepare to set up their exhibit on the Green.

as governor. ..
 Gov. Baldwin began his political career in 1880 when he was elected . State Representative from his home town of Stratford. Reelected, he served as House Majority leader in the 1883 session. meanwhile serv- Ing as Town Court Judge Of Strat- ford in 1881 and 1882.
 He was elected Republican town chairman in 1884 and served for three years.
 He first was elected governor in 1888, defeating former Democratic Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. He was de- ieated in the 1940 elections but came back in 1942 and again was reelected last November, the only member of his party to survive the state ticket.
 In 1940, during the Wendell L.. Willkie presidential campaign, Gov. Baldwin made one of the seconding speeches for the Republican stan- dard-bearer when he was nom- inted for the presidency.
 At that time Baldwin was po- tential candidate for vice president, but the presence of two customers on the ticket kept him from making the bid
 Up until a few days ago he had been urged to run for the U. S.. senate next year. The latest appeal came from Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, which the governor allowed to pass without comment.
 Open Field Now
 The retirement of the governor from active politics threw open the field in finding successor.
 Republican Congressman Joseph E. Talbot, who withdrew from the gubernatorial race two years ago in favor of Baldwin, was in the fore ground at the moment. Party lead- CTS had considered Talbot for gov- ernor, in event that Baldwin de- cided to make the run for the sen- ate.
 Baldwin ran last November only upon the insistence of the party, as their strongest candidate to carry the office in an impending Democratic landslide. It was known then that he preferred to enter the insurance field, and that he had turned down highly remunerative offlce as an insurance counsel

 But the 18th Army Group staff officer said today there was abso- lutely no agreement known as this group level as to just how much the Russians will occupy.
 In accordance with pre-arranged occupational plans, the Russians took over the area east of the Null de yesterday. Spokesmen said no further occupation of American held territory would take place im- mediately pending definite agree ments between Russia and the Uni- ted States.
 It was pointed out that these ar engagements probably already had ben completed at high levels-per- 'haps between SHAEF and the Rus- sian government-but so far had not been passed down to Army group division levels.

 Heavy fighting broke out after dawn, but the Marines held their positions and reinforced them under fire. At last reports, the Marines were fighting their way south and west.
 The Seventh infantry division at the opposite end of the cross island line simultaneously battled 800 yards onto the eastern corner of the Yae- ju-Dake escarpment at a point northwest of Hanagusuku.
 Infantrymen of the seventh broke out rope ladders for the perilous climb. They, too, were expanding their hold on the plateau under en- emy fire.
 Other elements of the Seventh di- vision were attacking high ground southwest of Hanagusuku.
 At the center of the line, the 96th infantry division seized all of the high ground around Yuza in a frontal attack on the escarpment. The town of Yuza itself was cap tured.
 The 96th division also was enlarg- ing its toehold on the nose of the escarpment, won last Saturday.
 North of the main fighting line, the Sixth Marine division further compressed an enemy pocket on the south shore of Mana harbor. It to- tailed less than square mile in area.
 262 Japs Killed
 The Japanese were countering the American drives with ineffective at- lempts at infntration by night. At least 262 were killed within the American lines Monday night.
 Hundreds of other Japanese wars i4lrned to death, blown up or suf- located in their cave positions by American demolition squads armed #ith flame-throwers and dynamite.

 4. A charge by New Zealand Prime Minister Peter Fraser that Connally had misrepresented the Australian amendment.
 5. An expression of resentment by Evatt at Cmdr. Harold E. Stas- sens implication that the little na- tions were cynical.
 At the end of the meeting Eyatt had a prepared statement ready to issue to waiting reporters in the lobby of the Veterans Building. The statement charged that the Big Five interprettion of the voting for mcia would reduce the Security Council from the very beginning to practical impotence"
 Contending that the tendency would be for disputes in their early stages to be handled outside instead of inside the security council, he said:
 "As consequence the way would be paved for settlements of the pre- war Munich variety, reached on grounds of political expediency.'
 Last nights defeat of the Aus trallan amendment followed a sober warning by Lord Halifax, the Brit ish delegate, that if the Big Elves veto power were taken away. there would be no world organization.
 Connallys committee speech start ed with the assertion that if peace is to be preserved, the great powers must work together.
 "The liberated countries of Eu- rope trusted the big powers to lib- crate them, he said. They trust ed them to win the war; they trust ed them to drive the invader from their homes.
 Why can't those liberated coun- tries now trust the big powers to keep the peace?"
 Connally then recalled that the Yalta voting formula was proposed by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt and asked whether anyone could question the former presidents mo- t1Ves. He slipped into a eulogy of the late president and asked: "Is there anyone who can say that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not an exponent of peace and not a friend of the little nations?"
 StasSen appealed for vote on the voting issue to conclude "one of the greatest documents in the his- tory of mankind"
 The Iraq delegate, Fadhil Al-Ja- mali, was called to order by Chair man John Sofianopoulos, Greek Foreign Minister, when he announc ed that his country. neighbor of Syria, could place faith in a veto right by the Big Four but not in one by the Big Five-an obvious reference to France. The French delegate objected to the remark and the chairman ruled that Iraq had exceeded the limits of debate.
