 The American airf1eet flew over 400 sorties to drop 510 tons of ex- plosives on Japanese installations and positions, mostly in the Caga- van Valley in northern Luzon. The biggest enemy force left on LuZon, an estimated 30,00o troops, is in the north.
 The 32nd and 18th Infantry Divi- sions opened the attack on Cagayan Valley after cleaning up its gate way, the crossroads town of Santa Fe. In the final mop-up 150 Jap anese stragglers were killed in the Santa Fe area.
 Todays communique from Gen. eral of the Army Douglas MacAr- thurs headquarters reported Amer ican troops reduced more isolated enemy pockets in the hills west of Santa Fe.
 To the south, in Central LuZon east of Manila, the 38th Division killed another 200 Japanese and cleaned out the last enemy rem nants around Wawa Dam, another source of water for the capital.

and dirt homes were levelled," the dispatch said. French fighters i'll British-made aircraft followed up the bombers to strafe the fleeing population or dive-bomb Arab strongholds in the mountains.
 The Stars and Stripes correspond ent said severe French censorship and their accessibility Of the area so far had prevented Allied news papermen from reaching Constan- tine and obscured the causes Of the rebellion.
 while the severe shortage of food is regarded as one of the pri- mary reasons for the revolt he said, "interwoven with it are the always-present political complica- tions of French colonial policy"
 The dispatch said 97 Europeans, mostly French colonial administra- tors and wealthy residents of the Constantine area. were killed in the early stage of the revolt.

By WALTER BUNDLE

Chungking, May 31-(UP)-Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai shek re- signed as Premier of China today, but retained his concurrent post of president.
 Reliable sources said a plenary session of the Kuomintangs Central Executive committee appointed T. V. Soong, Chiang's brother-in-law, as premier-a post officially known as president of the Executive Yuan.
 Soong had been acting premier since last December, when Chiang turned from political problems to urgent military matters. including a Japanese drive toward Chung king.
 The plenary session also accepted the resignation of Dr. H. H. Kung, another brother-in-law of Chiang, as vice-premier-vice-presiden of the executive Yuan - and named Wong Wen-Hoa. economic minister and chairman of the war production board, to succeed him.
 A Washington dispatch said Dr. Kung resigned because poor health prevented him from returning to China from the United States at this time. Dr. Kung also resigned from the concurrent post of gov ernor of the Central Bank of China, but remained Chiang's per- sonal representative to President Truman, Washington said.
 Both Chiang and Kung also re- tained numerous other lesser offices in the Chinese government. Chiang also is supreme commander of AL lied forces in China.

Flag Over Castle

Tn Shuri itself, Marines Of the First Division raised the stars and stripes over 18th century Shuri caS- tie. shell-pocked former Japanesa army headquarters, at 1:45 p. ms yesterday.
 Brig. Gen. Pedro Del Valle, conn., mander of the First Division, said his marines now controlled th6 whole of the ruined city of Shuri though actual physical occupation' had not been completed.
 Japanese suicide squads still cluna to strong positions northwest, north. east and southeast of Shuri, but the 77th Division collapsed th9 northeastern defenses and plunged ahead to within few hundred yardx of a junction with the Marines al Shuri castle.
 A junction of the Tth DivisioA and First Marines would encirclA the Japanese still holding out on Wana ridge northwest of Shuri and other enemy units north of the city.
 The second ring of encirclement was being forged by the Sixth Ma rine and the Seventh Army DiviS sions in the Kokuha river valley more than a mile south of Shuri.
 The Marines, driving southeast from captured Naha on the west coast, were less than 1000 yardA from junction with the Seventh Division slashing across Okinawa from the east coast last night. o linkup of these forces would trap all remaining enemy forces in the Shuri area.
 Most of the 25,000 to 5000 Jap- anese still surviving on Okinawa had taken up new positions in the l hills south of the Kokuba river l valley.
 Psychological warfare experts broadcast appeals over loud speak, CTS to them to surrender, but they replied with heavy machinegun fire. Elements of the Seventh Division striking down the east coast were some three and a half miles south Cf the captured port of Yonabaru srd could see the south coast in the distance two miles away.
 Patrols thrust a mile and . half farther south and returned after meeting nly light enemy fire.
 Radio Tokyo said the front on southern Okinawa had collapsed from 8 single line into plural lines with opposing forces locked in heav- jest fighting at a number of points in the rear of each opposing unit"
 Tokyo said the development was serious" and warned that the cri- tical stage in the battle was near.

Rooseuelt Cabinet
 Purge Truman s Aim
By LYLE C. WILSON

Washington, May 31.-UP)- President Truman's purge of the holdover Roosevelt cabinet was ex- pected to proceed rapidly today with senate developments on three nom- inees.
 Federal Judge Lewis B. Schwel- lenbach of Washington State will be confirmed today or tomorrow as Secretary of Labor. He will take office July 1, succeeding Frances Perkins of New York.
 The senate judiciary committee has scheduled hearing on the nomination of Assistant Attorney General Tom c. Clark of Texas to succeed Attorney General Francis Riddle of Pennsylvania. There is no evident opposition to Clark. He will also take office July 1.
 The senate agriculture committee has invited Rep. Clinton Anderson, D., N. M, and Secretary of Agri- culture Claude R. Wickard of In- diana to appear before 1t today.
 Anderson has been named to slc- ceed Wickard. The latter has beer nominated to be rural identification administrator.
 Sen. Henrik Shipstead, R., Minn. will lead a fight to prevent Wick ards confirmation The Wickard- Anderson nominations are to be effective immediately upon con- fir-nation.
 The labor and agriculture non- nations are considered particularly significant. Both point toward gov- ernmental reform which may save little money and which almost in- evitably will provide better admins tration of important subjects.
 When Anderson takes over the Agriculture Department he will be- come head of the War Food Admin istration as well. Judge Marvin Jones of Texas has resigned that job to return to the court of claims
 There have been many demands from congress that responsibility for directing the Agriculture De- partment and the War Food Ad- ministration be placed in one indi- vidual. MT. Truman evidently agees that the late President Roose- welt made a mistake in permitting

At the same time, a terSe memOr- andum was dispatched to Gen. Charles De Gaulle requesting the immediate withdrawal of all French troops in the Levant to their bar racks ito avoid collision between British and French forces"
 "Once firing has ceased and order has been restored, we shall be pre- pared to begin tri-partite discus Sions here in London" the British note said
 British Intervention
 The sudden British intervention climaxed three weeks of spreading disorder in the Levant, touched off by the dispatch of French rein- forcements to Syria and Lebanon to back up Frances demand for strategic bases in the formen man. dated countries.
 The ancient city of Damascus was aflame from French bombing and smelling, and Foreign Secretary An thony Eden announced in Commons that the situation there had become worSe in the past 12 hours.
 Eden said late advices from the British minister in Damascus re- ported heavy and continuing fight ing in the city throughout last night and early today.
 He said two great fires were burning in the center of the city. They were about mile apart but spreading swiftly.
 Eden said the British and Amer ican civilian colonies were evacu- ated from Damascus during a brief armistice yesterday afternoon. Then the center of the city was subjected to . very heavy and concentrated French artillery bombardment and French warplanes roared in to bomb the Syrian garrison.
 Cries of shame" arose in the House when Eden revealed that bombs had been dropped on the biblical city.
 Eden emphasized that Britain had been immensely anxious to avoid intervention in the Levant, but he reiterated that the threat to British and American supply lines to the Far Eastern war theater had become too serious to ignore.
 We have not acted until our overall responsibility was so serious that we simply had to act or stand by and see a situation develop which would have shamed us all, ," he said.
