shakeup is under way. Biddle.
Perkins and Nickard are al
ready announced as on their
way out. ! think all contem-
plated changes have been fully
worked out and only await pro-
pitious time for announcement.
For the present, the 23-man
cabinet mushroom, which MIR.
Truman inherited from Mr..
Roosevelt, is being slowly
trimmed to a wieldy 10. Heads
of various independent war and
administrative gencie had
been invited TO cabinet dis

and as a result, the meetings
lately have resembled a mob of
stockholders rather than a
decorous assembly of a board

Declares War with Japan Could Last a Least Two
 Years Longer

OKINAWA, June 7-tDelayed by Censor Gen Joseph w. Stilwell making a front-line inspection oi the stubborn Okinawa battle, de- clared today that the war with Japan easily could last at least two years longer.
 Tt is quite possible that we will have to fight in Manchuria," he said, even after the Japanese home islands are conquered.
 Vinegar Joe,' who already had watched the U. s. Sixth Army in action on Luzon in the Philippines has been here several days, living at the front and watching the hard struggle of the troops whose train ing is his responsibility.
 Commenting on the Japanese tenacity, he said that while the Okinawa battlefield reminded him of France in the First World War the Germans in either war had not shown the stubbornness of the Japanese.

Yardstitk for Island Bush (ompairiot

WASHINGTON, June II = An American who fought for three years as a guerrilla in the Philip pines told yesterday of the yard stick for measuring how long a compatriot had been in the island bush warfare.
 Capt. Truman Heminway, Jr., of Sherburne, Vt., in an account of his experiences released by the Army, said the measure of an Americans stay in the jungle was this:
 "The first six months, if ants get in the food the American throws the food away. The second six months he picks out the ants but eats the food. The third six months he eats the food, ants and all. The fourth six months, if any ants try to escape he recaptures them and puts them back in the food where they belong"

Surprise Landings Made on Borneo = 0kino
 Daito Bombarded
By Leonard Milliman Associated Press War Editor)

Australian veterans, making a three-way invasion of northwestern Borneo, have seized the entrances to strategic Brunei Bay, Gen. Douglas Macarthur announced to- day as American air raiders carried their most sustained raid on Japan into the fifth consecutive day without letup.
 Aussies of the Ninth Division en- countered little opposition in their surprise landings on Labuar and Maura Islands, on either side of Brunei Bay, and at Brooketon, on the Borneo mainland less than zu miles from Brunei. Labuan Air field and town were quickly over- run as Aussie,, troops for the first time on the Bornei mainland drove nearly three miles toward Brunei.
 Air raids become a secondary worry of Nippon's war leaders as the Japanese Diet baked at rubber stamping an emergency war powers bill. This measure. signing the Diets legislative powers over to Premier Kantaro Suzuki's Cabinet, would be virtual death warrant for Japans Parliament.
 Warning By StiIwelI
 Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell warned that the war could easily last ari- other two years. In addition to in- vading Japan. which would require at least 5O0,000 men, he said Am- erican ground forces may have to conquer Mahchuria, stronghold of the Japanese Army.
 This despite sweeping gains by widely separated Chinese offensives which regained another port city, town near the Indo- China border and threatened to engulf two former U. s. air bases in South China-Liuchow and Kweilin
 Casualties Mounting
 Mounting Japanese casualties reached 392,ll6 in the Philippines, where a l7-mile advance in two days carried the U. s. Thirty Seventh Division close to the ex- pected major tank battles of the campaign, and 67,703 on Okinawa. where the U. s. Tenth Army launched frontal assaults in the face of point blank artillery fire against trapped enemy remnants.
 The newest phase of the Borneo campaign was launched by the Australian Ninth Division. veter- ans of American desert fighting. A brief announcement by J. B. Chief ley, Acting Australian Prime Min- ister, said merely they had invaded North Borneo.
 Important Base
 MacArthur's special communiquo today placed the locale at the en- frances to spacious Brunei Bay. It is an outlet for North Borneo's petroleum wealth, a former Japa- nese fleet anchorage and poten- tially capable of being developed into a base for Allied amphibious forces destined to storm the South Asia coast or valuable islands of the Dutch Indies.
