Speculation was rife on the like

concentrate all local military air

was pointed out, however, that
the Air Forces reconditioning and
redistribution center is being car
ried out by separate, newly ere
ated branch of the service, not
directly affiliated with any oper-
ational section.
For three years active as an anti
aircraft firing center and site for
an anti-aircraft officers training
school, Camp Davis was selected
for its new use by the Air Forces
from a number of nactivated

Because of this lack of opposi-

There were no reports of any

He estimated that the total war

Unlike last year, he did not pro-

As the Allies in Belgium pinched

Srasbourg with heavy artillery

1t is not logical to expect that

lie around in empire ports while
MacArthur's troops are taking Lu-
ION from Japan's grasp, cutting in

The Japanese almost certainly
will try to reinforce the Luzon gar

(UP)-Veteran U. S. Sixth
Army troops invaded the
main Philippines island of
Luzon yesterday from an
800-ship armada, establish
ing a 15-mile beachhead on
Lingayen Gulf against Japa-
nese resistance 50 beaten
down by a three-day bonn
bardment that not a single
American in the first assault
wave was reported killed.
The Americans, under the per-
sonal command of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur who went ashore with
his men, quickly seized several
coastal towns, among them San
Fabian, on the southeastern corner
Of the gulf 100 miles northwest of
Manila. A headquarters spokesman
said some forces had reached
points within 1o7 miles of Manila
on the south coast.
The Americans went ashore at
$50 a. m. and encountered only
a few bursts of artillery and NOR
tar fire. Front dispatches said that
there were so few japanese de-
Tending the beaches that only a
handful Of enemy troops were
killed.
The Japanese had offered stub
born resistance to the preliminary
three day air and sea lombard
ment-one American admiral said
it was worse than at Saipan. They
inflicted some losses on our ships.
But yesterday morning the war;
ships encountered virtually no OPP
position as they unleashed a two
hour bombardment which smash
ed shore defenses. Some of the
veteran battleships which the Jap
anese thought they had sunk at
Pearl Harbor participated in the
bombardment.
Then a fleet of more than $500
landing bar9es, amphibious tanks
and other craft moved in toward
the same Lingayen beaches where
the japanese made their main
landings on Luzon December %,
1871. Their way was made easier
by gallant minesweeper crews
which had swept the big gulf OF
mines during the three preceding
days.
The landing barges and 300
major craft, many of which had
sailed all the way from New
Guinea, comprised the greatest in
vasion fleet in the history Of the
Pacific War. 1t stretched for 100
miles along the China Sea.
Dispatches said that the Japa-
nese had no appreciable beach de-
lenses and that they made half
hearted attempts to wreck bridges
as they withdrew inland. A head
quarters spokesman emphasized
that the japanese would make a
major stand inland.
It was believed that all. units
reached or passed their first days
detectives in the daylight hours
of the attack.
A spokesman said that approxi-
mately the same number of troops

IN the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Rotter. 1919 Battery lane, Bethesda.
Nd, about noon yesterday, when
Mrs. Rotter ran from the house
screaming that her baby was un-
conscious.
Poole ran into the house, and,
smelling coal gas, threw open the
windows and doors. Then he hur-
ried to the telephone pole where he
had been working and sent in call,
with the help of his head set, to the
Bethesda Police and Reset Squad.
Returning to the house he applied
artificial respiration. She was
breathing regularly by the time the
squad arrived and applied oxygen.
The gas, which also affected Mrs.
Rotter, was attributed to a faulty
furnace. The mother, recovering
from an attack of influenza, was
also taken to Suburban Hospital.
