total of 627--a ratio of only little
more than to 10.
The U. S. First Cavalry and
112th Regimental Combat Team,
operating in the area east of Ma
nila reported that Japanese resis-
lance between them and the east
coast was collapsing.
Nearly all enemy casualitis were
in North Luzon where two PARALLEL
columns were taking giant strides
toward the north coast where the
remnants of the Japanese Luzon
forces were menaced by over
Whelming strong American forces
before them and Americ an-offic er.
ed guerrillas at their flanks and
rear.
The main 37th Division force,
advancing up highway S along the
rich Cagayan valley, captured the
important road junction of Caua-
yam, 10 miles north of captured
Echague.
In a similar advance of more
than 10 miles, a parallel column
to the west captured Cabatuan, on
the Magat river seven and one
half miles north-northwest OF
Cauayan. From these two towns
parallel roads proceed northward
to join near Cabagan, in the cen
t-al Cagayan valley, and that was
apparently the next objective.
The troops which took Cabatuan
also seized on their way the town
of Oscariz, which before the war
had $1,000 people.
A Sixth Division force operating
west of the 9th was meeting heavy
resistance as it advanced up high
way from Bagadag. Troops in
this area found a Nazi swastika
flag wrapped in a japanese army
blanket which lay in a rice field.
1t may have belonged to German
observer with the Japanese.

Wolfgangs shoy, of interest was
natural. His father, Professor Will

leading propagandists assigned to
'un.-y' NaZis in other countries.
There are many Germans in the
United States, said Wolfgang flat

Yes said Wolfgang. THAT is

Mamamatsu is the second larg-

ner making total cessation of work
inevitable, they will bear respon-
sibility for it.')
There was as yet no exact word
as to when the king intends to
come to Brussels from Salzburg,
Austria-a trip to face a future
beset with uncertainty. The blond
wavy-haired. 43-year-old monarch
has been told by Van Acker that
elements of the Belgians do not
want hin-that they still hold it
against him that he surrendered
Belgium's army to the Nazis 10
days after Belgium was invaded
in 1910. and himself remained in
Nazi hands.
Leopold, however, is understood
to consider himself above reproach,
and duty-bound to lay his ease be-
fore the people and let them de-
eide whether he should resume
the throne kept by his brother, the
Prince Regent Charles.
Some Belgians believe the situa-
ton will result in a general cleo
tion-immensely difficult now be-
cause the pre-war balloting ma
chinery is disorganized and large
numbers of Belgians are still alb
sent as refugees and unrepatriated
ex-slave laborers.
The Van Acker cabinet, in re-
signing, issued a communique tell
ing the king what it thought he
should decide-the first time in
history that the Belgian govern
ment had dared to speak to It's
king in such plain LANGUAGE.
The cabinet insisted that Leopold
form a new cabinet ready to go
into office as soon as he returned,
in view of the dangerous s 1ation
that might develop.

reserve stocks have been reduced
sharply during the past two years

for use in 1945 totaled 24,200, 900

last years supply but slightly
