Hundreds of veterans of the u. S.
18th Airborne Division, Joined by
elders for the first time in the
Southwest Pacific, descended on
the rice paddles near the North
Luzon port OF APART Saturday
morning and swung South to Join
the final battle of the Cagayan

Japanese are trapped.
The airborne troops landed at
$40 am. in bright sunlight with
out any enemy opposition. T h
town of APART, last Japanese es-
cape port from Luzon, had been
captured earlier by guerrillas and
units of the U. S. Sixth Army.
The 'chutists, who fought in the
bloody Manila campaign, brought
with them formidable pack How

gayan river.
Commanded by Maj. Gen. Jo-

tacted the guerrillas already in the
area and the combined force quick

The Japanese were making
every effort to crack the guerrillas

before the 37th could arrive.
An American headquarters
spokesman said Tuguegarao was
strongly contested and that the
japanese were throwing in heavy

Red Army In Mammoth Victory Parade
Grinds Enemy Battle Flags In Dust

MOSCOW, June "a W.H The
Red Army, in a mammoth victory
parade, dragged $40 German battle
flags through the Moscow cutters

the Soviet military machine as
"the strongest army in the world. :"
The army has entered a period
Of peaceful development" Zhukov
said in an order of the day, and
sin the future we must strengthen

The parade was one of the most
impressive in Russian history, de-
spite driving rainstorm. The Ger
man battle flags, including Adolf
Hitler's personal standard, were
dragged around Red Square and
hurled to pavement in front of Mix
OLAF Lenin's tomb.
AS the Red Army men trailing
the flags approached the mausole-
UNI, the huge band suddenly
ceased playing. The troops filed
past the tomb to the beat of muf-
fled drums and threw down the
flags-the historic rite of grinding
the enemy's battle standards into
the dust.

general staff and members of the
government witnessed the cere

SIMLA, INDIA, June 24.-P)-
Monhandas K. Gandhi decided to-
night not to participate personally
in the conference scheduled to
open tomorrow at the call of Lord
Wavell, British Viceroy, to devise
new government for India with
broader political support.
Ganhdi told a confidant, Bu-
labhai Desai, one of the men in
vited to the conference, that he
would remain here in Simla to act
as an adviser, both to the Congress
Party and to the Viceroy, but that
ne felt Maulana Abul Kalan Azad,
President Of the Congress, should
represent the party.
The decision disappointed some
of those hopeful of the success of
the conference, but Desai said it
should not be taken as a harmful
move, adding that he remained
optimistic the conference would
succeed.
Gandhi's decision was disclosed
after Lord Wavel had neld sepa-
rate interviews with India's top
leaders in an effort to make GER
tain the conference actually starts
as planned.
The key to the situation appar-
emily was held by Mahomed Ali
