 One task force including l50 transports was said to be cruising westward below Mindoro. another of undisclosed size was moving west in the Mindanao Sea, and the fourth, with an escort of battleships or large cruisers and destroyers, was in waters south of Negros Island.
 All four ArmadaS were under air attack and that in the Lingayen Gulf also was being blasted by shore batteries, Tokyo said. claiming that 32 war vessels, including six aircraft carriers and IS transports. already had been sunk or damaged.
 Listed as instantly sunk" were g ships, comprising three carriers, battleship, two battleShips or cruisers, a cruiser and 16 transports. Nine other vessels, comprising three carriers, two battleships or cruisers and unidentified large war-craft, a , destroyer and two transports. were said to have been damaged. A later broadcast said 40 warship' and transports had been sunk, bu did not detail the losses. It esti'

 On the Ardennes front, the Amer ican Second and Third armored di- visions, backed up by the veteran 82nd Anrborne, drove powerful wedges across the St. Vith-La- Roche highway at three and possi- bly, four points and cleared the Nazis from a wooded ridge com manding almost the entire l5-mile length of the road.
 At last reports, the sleepless, half frozen doughboys were pouring across the highway in the wake of their armored spearheads through spotty enemy resistance.
 United Press War Correspondent Ronald Clark reported that the once formidable German defenses covering the highway appeared to have disintegrated into a series Of l isolated Strongpoints. many Of them already y-passed by the Amer ican vanguards to be mopped up by the supporting infantry.
 The breakthrough across the road severed the last escape anG supply road for at least three German armored divisions locked in battle with British trccpS at the western end of the Salient.
