the trenches are only one foot deep.
 Filipinos Greet Invaders
 Associated Press Correspondent c. Yates McDaniels, who accompanied Gen. Macarthur ashore, reports that when the smoke of the lombard ment lifted, Filipino civilians were on hand to greet the Americans.
 We found no booby traps or land mines such as encountered at Leyte and if the Japs ever had any dugouts or pillboxes they were bur jed in the sand by our lombard ments. We didn't see any" says McDaniels.
 Japs Grow Frantic
 A broadcast from the scene of the landing said the Japs grew frantic and some swam out and threw hand grenades at the American ships but it was like throwing snowballs on a hot stove" as the net frightened in a military moose on Japan.
 The invasion was orderly and there were no bloody battles on the beaches.
 Americans Plunge On
 The American forces merely ploughed up on the invasion grounds, swarming ashore calmly.
 Gen. Macarthur triumphantly an- nonced the landing had severed Japan's lines for endorsements of men and supplies and the enemy is now forced to fight with all re- sources he has.
 The Japs evidently did not expect the invasion in the Lingayen section and this is perhaps the reason for the light American losses.
 Gen. Macarthur said: This stra- tegic surprise, with fully 5000 small amphibious craft loaded with troops, nestled near transports, must have been fearsome. Our men poured ashore just as soon as the curtain of naval gunfire and rockets lifted" !"

NAN LABOR CAR
TAKEN BY YANKS
One Of II Men Who Ruled

Near Berchtesgaden

OBJ E R SALZBURG. Germany,
May -U.P)-Dissolute DR.. Robert
Ley, head of the Nazi labor front
and one of the few men who really
ruled Germany during the Nazi
reign of terror, was captured in
his pajamas today by American
troops south of Berchtesgaden-
The 55-year-old Ley, who fire.
quently would stagger intoxicated
to the Berlin radio and extoll the
glories of war, was sporting a
week-old beard when seized by
troops of the U. S. 1O1st Airborne
Division.
He was captured at the house
of an unidentified family 40 miles
south of Berchtesgaden. At first
he denied his identity and then
admitted he was the DR.. Ley who
had broken the German labor
unions early in the Hitler regime
and organized them into the Nazi
labor front to toll for the sprout-
ing German war machine.
Presumably Ley had escaped to
3erchtesgaden along with others
of the Nazi hierarchy now in AL
lied hands and then fled that noun
tain retreat before it fell in the
last hours of the war.
It was said of Ley that he was
one Nazi nobody knew and that
he was one of the dozen men who
actually ruled Germany during the
Hitler regime.

WPB Control of 1900

WASHINGTON, May 1e. -(R-
WPB today revoked its controls on
an array Of civilian products rang
ing from golf clubs and juke box

manufacturers no metal to make
them.
One sweeping action expunged
controls on 1000 of the commonest
civilian items, while the juke box
revocation also released pinball
machines, coin-operated amuse-
ment devices and the so-called
'fone-armed bandits - slot ma

The omnibus order dropped from
the WPB books has been a key

actly three years. 1t forbade the
use Of iron and steel-and thus in
most cases ended production-of
400 types Of goods embracing some

CHINESE SMASH
JAPANESE DRIVE
Enemy Drive On U. S. 18th
Air Base At Chin.
kiang Is Stopped

CHUNGKING, May 16.-tR-The
high command announced tonight
that the Japanese drive on the U.
S. 18th Air Base at Chihkiang iii
Human province had been complete
ly smashed in one of the most i'm
portant Chinese victories of the
war and that a considerable force
Of enemy had been trapped.
Heavy street fighting was cor
tinuing in the east coast treaty
port of Foochow with severe casual
ties on both sides. The Chinese
broke into the town last Friday
and bitter fighting has ragged since.
The high command gave no further
details.
A large force of enemy troops cut
off from their main base at Paoch-
ing from which the abortive Human
offensive started April 9 was re.
ported by the Chinese combat COM
mand to be attempting to escape
through the Chinese lines.
The Japanese were trapped in a
pocket stretching roughly from an
area % miles northeast of Ting
kow, SIS miles west of Paoching, to
a point 81 miles southeast of the
Paoching- Chihkiang highway town.
Most eastward escape routes were
reported by the combat command
to be firmly held by the Chinese.
The high command said two i'm
portant heights and numerous vii
lagos in the area had been taken
by the Chinese and some 400 jap
anese killed or wounded in futile
assaults on the Chinese lines.
Chinese forces southeast of
Yangchi, 40 miles north-northeast
of Paoching, continued their at
tacks against Japanese units re
treating southwark, the high COM
mand said. Heavy casualties were
inflicted on the enemy.
In Honan province severe fight
ing was reported west of the Hsishi-
ang whose possession by the enemy
constitutes a potential threat of an
invasion of Shensi province. Sew
eral Japanese counterattacks were
foiled, the high command said.
Fighters and bombers of the u.
S. 18th Air Force slashed at jap
anese forces in Human and bomb
ed and strafed enemy transport
and storage facilities in the Han
koW-Yochow area northeast of
TUngting lake, a communique from
1t. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer's
headquarters said.

almost from the time the Yugoslavs

thousands of persons Of Yugoslav
descent who live in the surround
ing hills entered Trieste and held
a mammoth demonstration. The
next day the Italians, who accord
ing to the British are IS per cent
Of the population, staged counter
demonstration. That was broken
up by Tito's force and two Italian
civilians were killed in the accom-
panying gunplay, which was not
authorized by high Yugoslav Off
Gals.
The Yrgoslavs today installed
their own project of Trieste prov
ince, Guglielmo Callipara. They adj
vised the British afterwards.
The Yugoslavs also have placed
Trieste on Yugoslav time, which is
one hour later than Italian time.

They have renamed one of the main
thoroughfares "Corso Tito"
The Yugoslavs have started con
scripting men from IS to 60 into
the Yugoslav army. These mer
have been whisked away from their
homes and can be seen dripping ir
the countryside under Yugoslav Of
ficers. At least 1000 other italians
in Trieste have been arrested by
Yugoslavs.
Tito's troops apparently are
strongly backed by their own wo'
men, scores of whom can be seer
walking Trieste streets. Most Of
them are adolescents, but they
carry pistols as if they mean il
and wear regular Yugoslav uni
forms with either skirts or trous-
