 MacArthur's historic action, broad cast throughout the world over the voice of freedom radio, was hailed by a cheering throng of civil and military officials gathered in the lib- erated capital.
 President Sergio Osmena, in ac- cepting restoration of the civil gov ernment, appealed to all duly-elect- ed members of the Congress who "have remained steadfaSt to their allegiance" to return to Manila and reestablish the legislative branch.

 New facilities are also being added to the Chase operations in Cleveland.

TRIBUTE PAID
 LATE SENATOR
Article By Prof. BrOgan on Francis T. MalOney Ap-
 pears in London Times

Tributes to the late Francis T Maloney of Meriden continue to be spoken and written, attesting to the admiration and respect in which the late senator was held. Writing in the London Times of January 19, 1945, Prof. D. w. Brogan termed his death a great loss to the sen- ate and the middle-o -the-road Democrats.
 Professor Brogan's remarks in full are as follows:
 The death on January 16, at the age of 50, of Senator Francis Thomas Maloney, of Connecticut, Is a great loss to the senate and to the middle-of- road Demo- crats. It also removes one of the ablest Irish American politicians of this generation. In recent years the two senatorships from Connecti- cut have been held by Roman Cath olics of Irish-American origin and of both parties. Senator Maloney had become the one permanent fea- ture in the political landscape of the state. He rose by the regular curSus honorum, mayor of his home town. Meriden, representative for his district, and for two terms senator for his state. He was both a good debater and on occasions, a real ora tor. As a debater he shone re- gently in his defense of the ad. ninistration's subsidy policy against the farm bloc: as an orator his most remarkable effort was his speech for the repeal of the Neutrality Act in 19S9-all the more effective in that 1t came from senator whose state in 1898, had elected 50 able a Re- publican isolationiSt as MT. Danaher. In international matters MT. Ma loney was loyal though not un- critical follower of the administra- tion. In domestic politics he was one of the chief makers of one of the great New Deal agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion. He was an extremely hard worker, and, when I last saw him in September, he was obviously fatigued but full of energy, and of that ironical but not cynical humor which pleased his close friends, of whom was glad to be one.

200 DEAD LAPS
 FOUND IN CAVE
It. Gen. Smith Believes Enemy Suffering From
 Water Shortage

Aboard Adm. Turner's Flagship of Two Jima, Feb. 27 - (UP0 = Lieutenant General Holland M. Smith, commanding general of fleet Marine forces in the Pacific. pre- dicted today that Two lima will fall in a matter of days.
 We expect to take this island in a few more days" Smith said.
 Smith was in high spirits after making a long tour of the Amer ican-held portion of Two Jima.
 There are no shortages on the island-not even of courage" he said.
 He did not elaborate on the state ment that Two would fall in few days.
 He added that due to the numer- ous caves on the island, i've will have difi1culty in running down Japanese guerrillas for some time after the seizure of the island"
 Summing up impressions gained during a visit to the Fifth Amphi- bious Corps Division and Regimen tai Command posts, Smith said he considered the progress of the cam- paign satisfactory"
 Tt is my belief that the enemy is suffering from a shortage of water and is having difficulty in caring for his wounded" he said. Advance Marines are finding caves with many enemy dead. The Japs are making every effort to hide their casualties and there is some evil dence of suicides"
 He said one cave near quarry on the southeast coast contained more than 200 dead. They included Jap anese filed in battle, some suicides and some cremated bodies. The Jap- anese apparently are pulling their dead and wounded back into their own lines, Smith said, adding that it was probably that enemy dead may be sealed in caves.
