MANILA, April II. Complete
control Of the Sulu Archipelago.
which stretches between Mindanao
and Borneo, was proclaimed today
by Gen. Macarthur. Forty-first Di-
vision Doughboys invaded the key
island Of Jolo on Monday and
quickly captured the capital city and
its airdromes.
Gen. Macarthur also announced
the liberation of perhaps thousands
of ill-fed lepers from the Culion
colony OF the WeSt-Central Philip

ganized resistance on Southern
Luzon, where thousands of crack
enemy troops are trapped,

41st Division, which captured the
big harbor of Tawi Tawi in the Sulu
chain April 2, swept ashore at the
Jolo city water front, on the 20
mile-lo long islands north coast. An
other force landed 4 miles north
east of the capital. Opposition was
negligible, so the YankS drove 8
miles inland.
LeperS Liberated.
Another swift landing was made
at Culion Island. north of Palawan,
This resulted in the liberation of
lepers who had lacked proper food
and medicine for three years. Ten
years ago the Culion leDer colony
numbered 1000, including a few
white persons.
Although the adjoining anchor
age in Coron Bay was used by the
japanese fleet during operations
against the American invaders of
Leyte last November, resistance was
negligible and supply ship steamed
in Immediately with the first medi-
cal supplies the lepers have received
since the japanese occupation.
Two weeks of bomb Saturation on
Jolo by the 18th Air Force disrupted
the enemy'S defenSeS. The landing
was preceded by bombardment by
light Navy craft under an amphib-
iouS task force commanded by Capt
J. D. Murphy.

capital of the Sulu Archipelago

tract would extend for year rather
than two years, the customary dura-
ton of mine contracts. The provi-
sion was inserted that either the
miners or operators could reopen it
without notice.
Royalty Demand Dropped.
Mr.. Lewis demand for a l0-cent-
alton royalty on coal was abandoned
as were a number of his other II
contract proposals, inserted in ne
gotiations largely for bargaining
proposals.
Federal officials said the Govern
ment must move faster than ever
before in order to clear the new
agreement before May /, expiration
date of the current contract eX-
tension. Unless this Is done, it was
feared that new strikes might break
out in the mines One high official
said the Government would retain
possession of the 235 seized mines
until final agreement is approved
and placed in effect.
Most OF the S120 per day extra
pay the miners would receive under
the agreement would result from
the seven-hour day. with time-and-
a-half for all additional time spent
underground. Full portal-to-portal
pay was granted instead of the
present two-thirds rate. Overtime
now starts after the eighth produc-
tive hour in one day and the 40th
productive hour in one week.
Miners are working a wartime nine
hour day, 54-hour week.
The agreement was considered
great victory for Mr.. Lewis, the best
he ever won for the miners. In
the strike-torn negotiations two
years ago, the miners got an esti-
mated sl.50 day more pay, but had
to work an additional hour per day
for it. The new agreement involves
no extra work.
Ickes Assails Stoppages.
The seized mines, where work
stoppages have forced partial
shutdown of plants producing war
vital steel, are in Pennsylvania and
Kentucky-Where $4,000 miners
were idle yesterday-Ohio, Tennes-
see, Virginia, Indiana and Alabama.
In taking over the pits as solid
fuels administrator, Mr.. Ickes said
the work stoppages were estimated
to be cutting into steel production
at rate which represents approxi-
mately 100000 tons weekly.
stopping work at this time is in
tolerable and unpatriotic, he de-
clared. 1T is threatening the pro-
duction of munitions and war equip
ment just when our armies need our
full support to win victory in Eu-
rope. Every ounce of produc-
ton strength must be used to re-
duce the threatening coal deficit of
40 100000 tons
Secretary Ickes ordered the seized
mines to open for work tomorrow
designated executive heads
of the mining companies as Federal
operating managers and instructed
the managers to raise the American
flag over their pits He called on the
mine workers to return to their Jobs
and keep coal moving to war fac
tories.

ROME, May 3-Col William o. Darby of Arkansas, who helped organize and then commanded the American Ranger Battalions through th& grim fighting in North Africa and Sicily, was killed by a German 68 millimeter shell just two days before the end of the war in Italy, it was revealed today.
 The 34-year-old veteran from Fort Smith, Arkansas, who had become the storied hero of nearly every American fighting man in Italy, led an amphibious operation across to the west shore of Lake Garda on April 30 as assistant commander of the Tenth Mountain Division, job he had assumed after the Rangers were withdrawn from the Italian campaign.
 It was learned today that Darby was standing with his regimental commander discussing preparation for an attack northward from that point when two 88 millimeter shells landed beside them. Darby was killed and the regimental com m8ndor was wounded.
