Burma Road Center
Retaken by Chinese
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, Sunday, Jan. al
The Chinese Central News Agency
reported today that Chinese troops
yesterday recaptured the Burma
Road town of Wanting, last major
obstacle to reopening of an over
land supply route to China.
The recapture came after two
weeks of bitter, bloody fighting, the
Chinese agency said.
The japanese thrown out of Wan
ting retreated in the direction of
Lashio, the southern terminus of
the Burma Road, with the Chinese
in pursuit.
The news agency also reported
that supply short cut through
IMyitkyina and Tengchung was
opened to traffic January II. The
agency said large convoy of trucks
arrived at Tengchung from Myitk-
Iyina January 18 and was expected
to reach Poashan on the Burma
Road east of the Salween River
shortly.
CALCUTTA, Jan. 20 (P.-The Jap
anese have turned in their retreat
in North Burma and attacked with
out success British bridgehead on
the Irrawaddy river north of Man
dalay which threatens their line
of retreat to Thailand, it was an
nounced today.
This bridgehead on the east bank
of the Irrawaddy poses a threat to
japanese supply lines running down
from Lashio and southeastward into
Thailand, and the scope of the
attack-in sharp contrast to weeks
of retreat-showed that the en-
envy was aware of the menace.

 The increase in corporation taxes, including income and excess profit taxes, has presented management with many new problems.

Another prob l. lems arising from high taxes, as well as from Wage freezing and labor shortages is that of group bonus, group insurance, and pension plans.

 Promotes DuV

4 Paris, Feb. 26. (UP)-Appolnt- ments of Clifford L. Day as European manager and Boyd Lewis as European news manager of the United Press were announced here today by Virgil L. Pinkley, U. P. vice-president and general European manager
 Day and Lewis will make their headquarters in the United Press London bureau which serves as principal administrative and news relay point for the organization rapidly expanding European service.
 Both men are veterans Of long service with the United Press. Day for twenty-one years has covered major news events and directed United Press bureaus throughout most of Europe, including thirteen years as London manager. Lewis, a graduate of Boston university joined the organizat tion at Boston in 1927 and worked as reporter mad editor in Boston, New Haven, New York and Chicago before flying to Europe as war correspondent last fall. He is now in charge of U. P. coverage at supreme allied headquarters where he probably will remain until the conclusion of the campaign on the western front.
 Day began his newspaper career as a correspondent for Iowa papers Between 1910 and 1916 he worked for Wisconsin papers in Beloit, Madl- and Milwaukee. He volunteered for the United States Army in 1917 and after the war resumed his news paper career with the U. P. in Lon- don. Later he managed U. P. bu- reaus in Berlin, Amsterdam and Zurich. In 1939 he became assistant European news manager. In that year he scored a clean beat on Ger man entry into Holland and in May, 194O, a two-hour beat on Dutch exploitation. His long experience with communications makes him an expert in this field and that moWl- adge served him well on both these occasions.
 Lewis joined the Canadian First Army early in October to report the battle to free the port of Antwerp Since then he has reported front line action with the British at Geilenkirchen, with the Amerian Seventh army in Alsace and Ger many, and with the American First and Ninth Armies during the bat tie of the Ardennes an dthe liquida- tion of Rundstedt's ffensive.
 Todays appointments come as United Press service to and from Europe is expanding rapidly. Dur ing the past six days U. P. has begun serving world news to more than two dozen papers in France, Italy and the low countries. and arranged for service through FIFE, the Spanish News Agency, to IeO newspapers in Spain. In the same period U. P. has started serv- ice to additional newspapers in Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Por- tugal, Egypt and Palestine.
