The crews of these tanks as well
as many of the supporting ground
troops were killed. An aggressive
assault against the disorganized rem
nants of the routed foe resulted in
his complete annihilation. The cour-
age and disregard for personal
safety shown by the officers and en-
listed men of Company c is a credit
to the armed forces. This operation
was determining factor in the final
successful break-through by our
troops during the following days
and played vital role in the sue
cessful completion Of the task Of
breaking all enemy resistance on
Leyte.

Cited In Philippines

The following citation was award
ed Company &c" of the 127th In
fantry Division in the Philippine
Islands. Pfc. Albert Mann, son Of
MIR. and Mrs. Ed Mann, is a member
Of this Division.
The citation follows:
Company "C", l27th Infantry, is
cited for outstanding performance Of
duty in action against the enemy
near the Ormoc Highway, Leyte,
Philippine Islands, on Is December,
1914.
As a result of a wide thanking
movement by our forces, a large
Japanese pocket was trapped. The
only supply or evacuation route open
to this enemy force was the Ormoc
highway. On Is December, 1914,
Company c, l27th Infantry, was
ordered to establish road-block on
the Ormoc highway to prevent these
troops from being supplied or re-
inforced. Many enemy tanks were
known to be in the area and were
expected to resist any attempt by
our forces to establish or maintain
the block. The men Of Company c,
armed with grenades, rifles, auto
matte weapons, mortars and ba-
zookas, had just moved into position
when the enemy struck. Ten (10)
light tanks supported by well armed
ground troops comprised the enemy
force. In addition, the enemy direct
ed intense 75mm and 15omm artil-
lery fire against Company C's posi-
tions. Although the men were SUBJ
ject to point-blank fire from the
enemy tanks, hail of bullets from
the numerically superior enemy
gorund troops ,and point blank fire
from the enemy artillery, they never
ceased to face the challenge and re-
turn the fire of the foe. The men
of Company c, by the accuracy OF
their fire, by the excellent coordi-
nation Of small arms and bazookas
completely routed the enemy. The
mortars and special patrol sue
ceeded in putting out of action two
75mm and one 150mm artillery
pieces which the enemy had beer
employing. When the smoke of the
battle cleared there remained nine
, (9) enemy tanks completely destroy
ed and the other severely damaged

take proper precautions and
would cooperate fully with

to solve Hollands gravest colonial
problem by negotiations. The re-
buke from his government for deal

Mook's supporters, who had sup

There were no official pronounce.

teal circles expressed the view
that the Dutch would negotiate
only with 'moderates'' among the

1t was believed the British and
even some Dutch advisers had urg-
ed Van Nook to see Soekarno and
his cabinet members in order to
relieve tension.
A statement was anticipated soon
from van NOOK.
At the meeting with Soekarno,
Van Nook had issued a statement
Of Dutch policy when some indie
pendent Dutch observers felt was
liberal enough to be accepted by
the Indonesians, with some altera-
tons.
It was feared now that the en-

might collapse. Whether the state

lished, would be made public re-

STORMY BUSINESS,
LABOR MEET SEEN
CONTINUED from Page One)

Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
moved to head off possible walk
out by more than half million
steel and aluminium workers who
are scheduled to take strike vote
Nov. %.
Schwellenbach appointed Arthur
S. Meyer, chairman of the New
York Mediation board, as spe-
cial conciliator to seek an agree
ment between the U. S. Steel cor
poration and the CLIO steel work
ers in their dispute over the
unions demands for $500 a day
wage increase.
He asked the steel company and
the CLIO to resume their collective
bargaining which was terminated
Oct. %.
Some controversial issues are
expected to be injected into the
opening sessions.
CLIO President Philip Murray
met today with labor delegates to
discuss the agenda. He also
worked on the speech he will de-
liver to the conference Monday.
One source said he will demand
sincere" collective bargaining
and say such bargaining will re-
quire a change of attitude by bust
ness.
Murray also is expected to press
for discussion of wages, full en-
ployment, and unemployment pay.
If he should do that, will run into
opposition from the management
delegates.
Pre-conference caucuses of
management delegates disclosed
that most of them want the con-
ference to go on record favoring
the inclusion of penalty clauses in
agreem ents, an official of the ma
tional Association of Manufa ctur-
ers said. In case of a preached
contract, workers would be pen
allied by having wages and vaca-
ton pay withheld, or by some
other action.
Such move would mean gen.
eral endorsement of contracts
similar to those negotiated by
John L. Lewis with the coal indus
try, which have a wage-Withhold-
ing clause.

The alternative course would
be to say that China is going
through a period Of extreme

neither the United States nor

full China would result more
quickly from allowing the Chin
