strength on the central plains 81
miles south of the Lingayen Gulf
were believed awaiting the fall of
Rosario, five miles inland from the
eastern rim of the gulf, before re-
suming their frontal smash toward
Manila.
ca Japanese communiue recorded
by the FEC conceded that the
Americans had advanced as far as
the Agno river, 20 miles south of
the Lingayen Gulf, but claimed Jap
anese counterattacks had halted an
American advance two and a half

Press in San Francisco, reported
that Baguio had been repeatedly
bombed since Tuesday, and said fires

The capture of Rosario would ef-
fectively block the only practical
highway along which Japanese
troops in the Baguio area to the

attack against the eastern flank of

came principally from artillery and
mortar batteries. Little hand-to-
hand skirmishing was reported.
Only a few miles east of Rosario
lies an excellent airstrip.
Urdaneta, road junction 10
miles south of Rosario, was captured
by American units, while other
troops fought in the outskirts of
Pozorrubio, halfway between Urda-
meta and Rosario.
The Japanese, in an 18th hour
attempt to save Urdaneta, counter
attacked with several so-called
tankettes, but were quickly repulsed.
The tankettes are light, small tanks
carrying 37-millimeter guns, but
their armor is so vulnerable that it
cannot withstand even so caliber

Housing Project
0pened for
Food Professors

Food professors in the Imperial
Valley area may fill up the vacan-
cies in the El Centre housing prof.
ect on South Fourth street, it was
revealed Friday by R. w. Briggs,
senior housing representative of the
National Housing Agency.
Briggs, proving himself friend
of Imperial Valley by helping solve
the housing shortage, telephoned
County Agricultural Commissioner
B. A. Harrigan that food professors
are on the same basis as wartime
industrial workers and as such are
eligible to occupy units in the hous-
ing projects on South Fourth street,
E Centre.
Heretofore they have been re-
served for industrial workers.
SHIPPERS MUST WRITE
Each shipper will have to write
to Briggs and ask for permission for
his employees to stay in the houses
at the housing unit and set forth
what kind of food processing is done
by them," Harrigan explained Fri
day after talking with Briggs. 1.-The
lack of housing for these men en-
gagged in processing has created
wartime emergency and Briggs is
helping to do something about it"
There are hundreds of food pro-
cessors in Imperial Valley during
this and other harvesting seasons
every year, Harrigan said

Permission to house food process

where so additional units are being

mean that we have quit trying to
get the 200 house trailers promised
the shippers by federal agencies.
The immediate delivery of these 200
trailers was promised us but there
seems TO be Snag or bottleneck
