Up Nipponese,
 Luzon Island
Guerri|Ids Fighting New Warfare-Two More
 Islands Taken
By JAMES HUTCHINSON
CAP War Correspondent

MANILA, March 5-While three Yank divisions pushed steadily against Japanese troops in noun tainous northern Luzon, Filipino guerrillas struck heavy blow at the enemy's rear, clearing the Nip ponese from Ilocos Norte Province, Gen. D ougl a MacArthur an nounces.
 Two Islands Taken
 The campaign to clean the Japa- nese off Luzon, principal island in the Philippines, is also implemented by the American divisions in the seizure on Saturday of Ticao and Burias Islands in the Sibuya Sea. The occupation of the islands will result in evacuation or destruction of the Nipponese on neabry Bicol Peninsula, and would give the Am orleans the key port of Legaspi, on the east side, and an additional airbase.
 Tn Manlla
 In Manila, units of the Thirty Seventh Division have cleaned out the last Japanese resistance in the downtown district with the capture of the Finance building, one of the structures in which the Nipponese made suicide stands after the fall of the old Walled City to the Tanks.
 Guerrillas In Fight
 Gen Macarthur disclosed that Guerrillas, under Col R. w. Volck- man, have cleared the Nipponese from Ilocos Notre Province, in the extreme northwest corner of Luzon Island, inflicting thousands of cas- ualties while suffering only minor losses themselves.
 Gen Macarthur describes the fighting as of the irregular type, which the enemy has been unable to fathom." He gave no further details, but the spokesman said the Guerrillas were supplied with Am erican arms since the Tanks ar- rived on Luzon, and have also been receiving effective air support.

Screaming Jdps Charge in Untdmed Fury-Super

U. S. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD

U. s. PACIFIC FLEET HEAD QUARTERS, GUAM, Marc - United States Marines made limited gains on northern Two lima Sum- day and hurled back a Jap counter attack in which hundreds of screaming Japs were killed, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz announces.
 The enemy dead numbered 12,- 864 as of D. m. Saturday, out of an estimated garrison of 10000.
 Eighty-one prisoners, the ma jority Korean laborers, were taken in bloody hand-to-hand fighting.
 The battle-worn Leathernecks, Maj Gen. Clifton Gates Fourth Division, continued tortuous ad- vances over the rough terrain.
 The tired Marines, however, could see what they were fighting for and what their comrades had died for, says Admiral Nimitz.
 Bomber Base Used
 One Superfort, returning from a raid on Tokyo, landed on the southern bomber field, repairs were made to the fuel line, and the plane continued back to the Mari anaS base.
 Almost half of the Superfort losses in strikes at the Japanese Empire from the Marianas have resulted from crash landings on the last lap of the 1,500-mile home ward flight. Now the cripples can land on Two Jima. Also, the Two Jima airfields mean substantially increased bomb loads.
 The Japs, cornered on the north ern top of the Island are fighting with untamed fury and Marines capturing gun position, pillbox or blockhouse find the garrison resist ing to the death
 Raids on various islands held by the Japs were made Saturday and continued Sunday.

The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army

WASHINGTON-On the eve Of John L. Lewis coal negotiations, Hard Fuels Administrator Harold Ickes rolled up his sleeves and did some tough talking about coal shortages to an off-the-record ses- sion of the War Production Board.
 He warned the closed-door ses- sion of production bigwigs that al- though coal was scarce this year, it was going to be worse next year. He predicted a deficit in bituminous coal alone of 50,0O0,0O0 tons.
 Ickes praised the operation of both the mines and the miners, saying that the average age of the miners today is around 45, whereas their ages used to be under 30. He said that 30,000 men had been drafted from the coal mines last year and about 30,000 would be drafted this year. Once these men were gone, Ickes said, they cannot be successfully replaced Without saying so directly, Ickes implied strong criticism of the y, S. Army for drafting these men.
 Tn England" he said,- they even drafted men and sent them to the coal mines. We do just the re- verse"
 Ickes also indicated that he would take over the coal mines at the drop of hat if negotiations between John L. Lewis and the coal operators fail this month. He said the industry could not afford to lose a single days production.
 Both sides know what they want Ickes told Army-Navy mo- guls also attending the meeting. If they can get together at all, they can do it in the first few days of their talks"
