"a japanese communique acknow-
ledged that American forces had
penetrated into a corner of Ma
Mia" and said Japanese troops were
locked in heavy fighting with in
vaders.")
The 18th airborne division COM
pleted the stranglehold on the bat
tered japanese garrison in Manila
by smashing into the city from the
south Monday after an overnight
dash of 35 miles.
The 37th infantry division, pour
ing into the capital from the north,
and the first cavalry division, from
the east, linked up in the heart of
Manila and cleared all of the city
north of the Pasig river with the
exception of scattered groups of
snipers.
BLOW UP BRIDGES
The japanese blew up the Quezon
and Ayala bridges across the broad
Pasig as they fell back into the
southern half of Manila for last
stand Two other bridges remained
intact, however, and may have been
captured by the Americans.
Japanese demolition squads con-
tinued their destructive work in
Southern Manila working feyerish-
ly against their own imminent des-
truction. Numerous fires cast a
heavy pail of smoke over the city
and explosions shook the ground
at frequent intervals.
With the 18th airborne divisions
thrust into southern Manila, how
ever, the enemy garrison could be
considered "Hopelessly trapped"
Macarthur said.

Navy Announces
Loss Of Sub

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. (UP) =
The u. S. submarine Tang, which
saved. % naval aviatorS in a dar-
ing rescue off Japanese-held Truk
island is overdue and presumed
lost, the navy announced late Mon
day.
The Tang's skipper was Cmdr
Richard H. OgKane, 81, of San
Rafael, California. He and his crew
normally 65 to 70-were presumed
lost. Next of kin have been notified.
The Tang was awarded the Presi-
Dental unit citation for outstanding
performance, on war patrols in
Japanese waters and for the gallant
rescue of U. S. airmen who had been
forced down off Truk in April, 1914.
The vessel braved treacherous reefs
and hostile shore batteries to save
the naval airmen in seven pick-ups.
OKane had commanded the 31l-
foot submarine from the time it was
commissioned at Mare Island, Cal
ifornia, on October Is, 1943.
The Tang was the 37th submarine
lost from all causes in this war and
the 260th naval vessel to be lost.

captured the first Jap on the Philip
pines credited to the infantry bat
talon under the command of Lieu
tenant Colonel Will R. Loewe of
Visalia, it was announced Tuesday
from the headquarters of the for
tieth division on Luzon.
Huston and a group Of five Off
GERS and enlisted men were riding
in a reconnaissance truck between
the towns of Sual and Alaminos in
the Lingayen gulf area several days
after the FOrtieth division landed
there. They ran into a Jap straggler
along the road in the vicinity of
San Pedro de Martir. He evidently
had been left behind when the Japs
retreated to the hills behind the
swift advance of the American
troops which encountered little or
no opposition in their drive to the
zambales mountains.
The hapless Nip speedily was
dumped into the back of the truck
and driven to headquarters where ii
was learned that he was civilian
laborer frcm Fomosa drafted by the
Japanese to work on Luzon.
Huston is commanding officer of
"a headquarters company and also
battalion adjutant when not out
locking for Japs. He received his
reserve commission in 1899 and was
called into active service when the
national guard was deferalized in
March, l941. He has earned five
overseas stripes for service in the
Hawaiian Islands, Guadalcanal, New
Britain and the Admiralties Islands
A graduate of the Commerce
School of tie University of Califor-
mia, he was a rancher in Imperial
Valley before the war. His wife,

Moves to Obtain

BRAWLEY, Feb. 6.-First step:
toward cooperation with the Impe-
rial County Health department
drafting of a comprehensive sani-
tation code and employment, of 8
health officer were taken Monday
night by the Brawley City Council
With the words of Mayor Elmer
Sears, IT'S time we recognize the
situation existing in the city and
do something about it, keynoting
the attitude of the city officials
initial steps toward establishment
Of health and sanitary rules were
taken when the council delegated
City Attorney William Fowler to
work out the necessary action with
county officials.
Councilman S. d. Carey COM
mented on the need which was
brought before the group by him
self last December when he reveal
ed that several cafe operators had
complained of the lack of enforce
ment and rules which would enable
them to Gequire medical eXamina-
tions of their employees.
Carey saio that the county health
department has asked that I'VE en-
ploy health officer jointly with
El Centre. We should go ahead and
express our willingness to cooper
ate after details are worked out.
The action and discussion was
precipitated by a letter from the
county supervisors pointing out that
the health department could not
maintain a rigid inspection of El
Centro and Brawley food establish
ments and enforcement of SANTA
ton codes due to the amount of
work required in other areas. The
health department. had suggested
that the two cities jointly pay $125
dollars each toward the salary of
health officer who would spend
week at time in each of the
cities.
Monday afternoon Lieutenant
Pike acting for the 18th naval dis
trict. and Russell Brooks, of the
health department, inspected more
than twenty Brawley cafes which
they hao visited and given SANTA
ton orders two weeks ago. Many of
the cafes had carried out most OF
the orders, few had partly carried
them out. and many had ignored the
crcers. it was said.
With probably three or four ex-
ceptions, nearly every cafe on the
eastside likely will be declared out
of bounds for servicemen, and sew
eral will be closed by the county
health department, the two men
said. If the orders given are car
rie6 out by February Is, it is likely
the ban will be lifted on several OF
the cafes.
