MANILA VICTORY
Mother OF Prisoner Waits
By Radio For News OF
Her Son

The smash into Manila by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur American
forces was received in local quar-
tiers yesterday with emotions rang
ing from intense suspense to glee-
full anticipation that similar treat
ment for Tokyo would not be too
long in forthcoming.
Mrs. Tebe D. Sanford, of COS
South Third street, whose son,
Pharmacists Mate &c Tebe D.
Sanford, has been a prisoner-of-
war in Camp Number Three in
T1anila since the fall of the city
in January, 1912, said she had post
ed herself at the radio to await
further news.
81 am listening and hoping and
praying" she said. Pharmacists
Mate Sanford's fifth postcard from
captivity arrived two weeks ago,
delayed nine months in transit
from the prisoner-of-War camp.
Pharmacists Mate Sanford had
remained on duty in the Cannaco
Naval hospital after Manila was
declared an open city. He had gone
to the Islands in August, 1941. His
card said "Can hardly wait till
we are together" Camp number
three is one of four camps in the
Manila area, one of which, Santo
Tomas. was a civilian internment
area.
City Manager A. C. Nichols,
former resident of Manila, ex-
pressed himself Especially hap
py' on that score over the sue
cessful U. S. drive into the Phil
ippine capital. In a tentative iden-
LITIGATION of the Santo Tomas eli.
william internment camp, the only
area specified early last night as
having fallen to the Americans, he
pointed out that a suburb named
Santo Tomas lay north of the wall
the old Spanish city, hub
of modern Manila, and that an
avenue of the same name led into
the city.

HITLER'S OFFICE
BLASTED BY RAID
Bombs Poured Into Air
Ministry, Other Reich
Buildings

LONDON, Feb. 4.-CP)-German
broadcasts warned of four separate
forces of bombers winging over the
Reich tonight, possibly indicating
an Raj Mosquito attack on Ber-
lin, whose heart was scourged by
1000 y. S. Flying Fortresses Sat
urday.
The record American assault
scored eight direct hits on the
German Air Ministry, and poured
Is concentrations of bombs into
the area occupied by the War Of
flee, Hitler's Reich chancellery,
Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda,
and Gestapo headquarters, an
American communique disclosed.
Tonight the German warning
system reported fast bomber for
mations-a term that fits Mosqui-
to bombers with their two-ton
blockbusters - over the Hanover
and Brunswick areas and farther
east in Berlin's Brandenberg prov
ince. Another warning told OF a
bomber formation approaching
western Germany-perhaps Raj
Lancasters and Halifaxes headed
for freight yard or oil targets.
Buildings in the very heart OF
Berlin were left Quilted and char
red from one of the wars best
jobs of bombing craftsmanship.
Badly disrupted radio broadcasting
services provided one indication of
the confusion wrought in the refu-
gee-filled capital, less than 40 miles
from Russian lines.
The 1000 Flying Fortresses left
an almost unbroken mass of fire
and smoke over an area two miles
long and a mile wide in the core
of the city, and smoke boiled up
more than two miles high through
the clouds, U. S. Strategic Air
Force headquarters said.
The cost was 10 bombers and
five fighters, including losses IN
a simultaneous strike on Magde-
burg to the southwest.
The huge pail Of smoke rising
after the Air Ministry building
was stricken made it impossible
for photograph interpreters to plot
direct hits on the other key build
ings nearby, the communique said.
Besides the War Office, Chancel-
lery, Propaganda Ministry and Ges-
tapo headquarters, the Ministry OF
and other important
structures are concen-
trated in the area so heavily bat
tered in the hail of $500 tons OF
bombs. 1t is likely, however, that
MANY German government offices
have been moved from the area.

the Philippines capital.
Manila is liberated,' Gunnison
said in broadcast from outside
the city, relayed by Luzon radio,
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's 'Voice
of Freedom. Gunnison entered
the city briefly, came out, and
then flew over the capital at an
altitude of 300 feet in small
airplane.
Il did not see a single Jap ex-
cept few dead" said Gunnison.
"a great smoke pail still hangs

Gunnison flew 100 feet over
Santo Tomas internment camp in
a plane piloted by 1t. Eugene
Gravis of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, an
artillery spotter. Gunnison spent
many months at Santo Tomas as
an internee before he was eXchang-
ed on the liner Gripsholm.
Il saw many of my friends and
prisoner colleagues waving happily
to me-" Gunnison said.
Gunnison said he saw Japenese
soldiers sprawled across the pave
ment, OBVIOUSLY killed by units
of the First Cavalry which spear
headed directly to Santo Tomas

Il saw a number of road blocks
set up by the Japanese along the
wider streets down near the Paslg
river. These blocks were topped
by rusty, junked automobiles"
Gunnison, deviating from the
wording of the official communi-
que which reported only that Am

has been "liberated."

Gunnison entered the city with

commanded by Maj. Gen. Robert
S. Beightler.
Later, from the Piper Cub, he
saw ambulances arrive at Santo

Kank Shooting Squads
Prevented Prison Break

WITH THE SIXTH ARMY, LU-
ION, Feb. 4.-(P)-One Japanese
trick at Cabanatuan prison camp
was an American shooting squad. "
This is the way Pvt. John
Braumberger, Portland, Ore, ex-
planned it:
1.-The Japs designated ten men
as an individual shooting squad and
said that if any of the ten escap-
ed the remaining nine would be
shot. They emphasized that all
ten of US were responsible for
keeping each other from escaping.
This is a practical demonstra-
ton. Four of us got to know a
Jap guard and by brides got him
