ed up by swarms of carrier planes and big Army Liberators. Fighting was savage, with many hand-to- hand combats reported.
 With the capture of Motoyama airfield No. ?, the Third, Fourth and Fifth Marine divisions will have all 1wo's airstrips-within fighter-plane range of Tokyo-in their hands. Motoyama airfield No. 1, farther south, fell to the Ma rineS last week.
 But the battle of Two was far from over. The Japanese still hold Mt. Moto, a volcano dominating northern Two, and a cluster of other peaks, all honeycombed with gun emplacements and defense tunnels from which they were raining shells and rockets on the Americana held portion of the island
 U. s. Navy Secretary James " Forrestal, who visited the beach, head four days after D-day, told neWsmen aboard Vice Admiral Rich mond K. Turner's flagship off the island that the clean-up would take many weeks.
 Well be digging dead Japs and some live Japs probably out of the caves for many weeks to come" he said.
 Admiral Chester w, Nimitz re- ported in a communique yesterday that the number of Japanese bodies counted had reached 2,827 by Sun- day noon. Since the Japanese us- ually recover most of their dead, the number of Japanese killed ac- tually may be nearer 5000.
 4 to 1 Ratio
 Forrestal said the Marines were killed four Japanese for every Amer ican killed.
 A few Japanese planes attacked American forces on and around Two just before midnight Saturday, but caused no damage. Some of the raiders dropped their bombs on the Japanese held portion of Two.
 Beach conditions on Two showed a marked improvement" Nimitz said, with supplies and reinforce ments flowing ashore in steady flood.

through the Marikina watershed.
 Other troops of the First Corps advanced three miles from Panta- banga north to Conversion in the Caraballo mountains and seized new high ground covering the Villa Ver- de trail.
 In Manila, the final enemy re- sistance was reduced to three goV- ernment buildings just outside the southeast corner of conquered h. tram Rors.
 A new surrender ultimatum was delivered to the Japanese com mander, possibly an adrimar, yes- terday and the Americans were withholding their fire until today.
 1000 Holding Out
 Perhaps 1000 Japanese naval and Marine personnel were holding out in the Agriculture, Legislative and Finance buildings. All were stone structures, earthquake proof and highly defensible.
 Tn the walled city which was cleaned up late saturday together with the port area and Engineer Island at the mouth of the Pasig river, 447 Japanese dead were count ed although hundreds of other bod ieS were believed still in the ruins.
 Maj. Gen. Robert s. Beightler, commander of the 37th division. described the Intramuros assault as a perfect operation" and said the American casualties were light.
 Scattered Japanese remnants con- tinued to 'iht back on CorTegidor as the Americans pushed down the tail of the salamander- r-Shaped is- land.
 Heavy explosions continued in the Malinta tunnel and spokesman said there is speculation that the Japanese trapped there will take care of eliminating themselves" It was disclosed that Friday night five heavy blasts wele heard in the interior, after which 200 Japanese fled from the tunnel toward the American lines. All were killed

retairable, maintain it's level within the bonding limit.
 AS explained by MT. Maloney at Fridays meeting the city. at this time, is in a position to issue bonds for borrowing in amount of $1,132,- 900 and not exceed it's limit as set by state statute of $l0,664 ,000. It was pointed out however that water bonds of l94l in amount of $1, ,485 = 900 are, at present, included in the total indebtedness which is not the ordinary course in determining gen. eral indebtedness. However, because of the fact that the city, in 1941, was in excess of it's limits in bond issu- ance the Legislature at that time decreed that the water bonds must be included in the general bond 'column' although ordinarily they are accredited separately. The city is appealing to this years General Assembly to withdraw this figure from the general debt, in view of the fact that Waterbury is now be- low it's bonded limitation. It seems likely at this writing that approval will be granted.
 Should this be accomplished the citys present borrowing capacity will be increased to total $2,617,O00.
 Starting with the year 1946, the proposed first year of the program, the following table illustrates the comparison of just what the city will owe that year and each suc- ceeding year on it's bond debt as re- suit of the issuance of new bonds for the respective projects, as compared to what it would owe normally under present schedule of bonded indebt- edneSS.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-26

The above present schedule in- cludeS the aforementioned $1485,- 900 in water bonds while the column noting the proposed schedule in- cludes the same bonds plus the new Issuance under the schedule.
 In the opinion of MT. F'urlong the city, in years subsequent to 1884, will be in a position to operate on a pay-aS-you-go plan relative to any further necessary capital improV- ments. This will be made possible, MT. Furlong points out in his state ment, because the scheduled reduc- ton in debt service will result in making available for a capital bud get approximately $250,00O yearly in the years subsequent to 1854 with the exception of the calendar year of 1953
 Relative to the reserve fund it has been estimated that the following amounts will be available each year (during the 6 year period) after project charges have been made: First Year-$1 ,352, 2,00O-Second Year $1,219,000; Third Year, $683, ,591; {; Fourth Year, $429,434; Fifth Year, $44o,144; Sixth Ytar, 52L,492. Charges to be made against this fund as means of financing, yearly, part of the postwar projects will be as follows: First Year, $51O,50O; Sec ond Year $895 ,409; Third Year, 6l4,107; Fourth Year, $349,34O; Fifth Year, $278,652; Sixth Year, $323, ,962.
 The difference will be the bal ance available each respective year for use for contingent purposes, un- able to be foreseen at this time.
 In his statement MT. Furlong points out that No attempt has been made by me to determine the merit of any of the listed projects as it is felt that such determination is not within the scope of the de- partment of budget control and au- dit, and should rest entirely in the hands of the city plan commission and it's related advisors
 The city budget director suggests also in his statement that the schedule be revised on a year to year basis in line with completing the city plan commission projects and preserving the integrity of the city's financial structure. Such a revision, he states, will keep the means of financing on a practical basis and in line with the economic conditions of the business world as the future unfolds.

 The job of enforcing the curfew was given to t:Ie War ManpoWer Commission. War MobiliZer Direc- tor James F. Byrnes. who ordered the ban, told the War Production Board. the Office of Defense Trans portation, the Office of Price Ad- ministration and other federal agen- cies to give the WING whatever aiG 1t needed for enforcing the curfew.
 Byrnes' made it plain that private clubs as well as public amusement places must obey the midnight shut down. Only two classes of excmp- tons were listed-USO clubs and canteens rul solely for service men and dispensing no alcOholoc drinks; and restaurants which or- dinarily stay open all night without serving alcoholic drinks or furnish ing music or entertainment.
 By midnight tonight not only must the big name bands he cn their way home, but every juke box In the nation must pc switched off.
 The dancing must be over. The bottles stored away. The lights out, and the front doors locked. Includ- ed in the order with nightclubs, shooting galleries, pool halls, car- nivals, circuses, slot machine parlors, skating rinks. gambling houses and yacht and country clubs.
 In contrast to late celebrating at some spots. other night clubs in New York reported routine" Sum- day crowds last night. Billy Roses elaborate Diamond Horseshoe" was damned for the dinner show, but the crowds tapered off during the night.
 Many of the niehtclubs said they would try to survive the cIirfeW by advancing their opening time to 6 D. m. and offering two shows be- fore midnight.
 The manager of one club in New York said the staff had been told to take no orders for hot dishes af- ter II D. m., stop cold food orders at ll:3O and serve no drinks a.ter 11:45

 The B-29 did most of their bomb- ing with precision instruments through clouds that obscured the ground. No fighters and only light anti-aircraft fire was encountered All returned safely.
 Some of the giant bombers be- came separated from the main force and bombed alternative targets, in- cluding the big aircraft center of Nagoya and the town of Shirgu, southeast of Osaka.
 There was no immediate word from Pacific fleet headquarters on results of the carrier based phase of the assault. It was likely that Mitscher's task force presumably only 150 to 300 miles off the Japa- nese coast, would remain under radio silence until 1t reaches safer waters.
 All signs indicated that the air offensive against Tokyo has entered new stage that ultimately will re- duce the capital to a state of devas- tation rivaling that of Berlin and other German cities.
 The carrier planes attacked for the third time in 10 days. Or Feb. r and Is. they destroyed or dam aged 36 Japanese ships and 649 planes and wrecked several Jap- anese aircraft llants.

The army organ Red Star said German and Soviet fighter planes were engaged in major battles over the bridgeheadS, as well as deep pver rear areas on both sides. The Nazi attacks appeared designed to throw Soviet offensive plans off schedule and gain time for the Ger man command to complete Berlin's hefenses.
 Red Star said Soviet fighters and anti-aircraft batteries were taking a heavy toll of enemy planes. Tn one sector alone, the newspaper said, 93 German planes were shot down while hedge hopping over Soviet positions.
 Soviet forces in East Prussia cap tured another cluster of towns around Zinten, IT miles below be- low Koenigsberg. in reducing the German pocket in East Prussia to approximately 320 square miles.

the past A hours as the two attack ing armies surged forward for gains of as much as three miles on front now broadened to 30 miles.
 The U. s. First Army on the southern flank wiped out the last fanatical resistance in Dueren and lunged up the main Cologne road to take Golzheim, 15 miles vest southwest of the big Rhine city.
 Late reports said the Tanks were wei! beyond GolZheim, five miles northeast of Dueren, and moving steadily forward against somewhat disorganized opposition. The Ger mans in that sector appeared to be falling back at top speed behind the Erft river line 62 miles to the east, sowing huge minefields in their wake.
 Steinstrass Falls
 Armored and infantry divisions of the U. $. Ninth army farther north made their slosest approach to Col ogne along the Juelich-Cologne highway where they captured Stein strass, IT miles west of Cologne and moved on more than mile to the east.
 The 29th division was out in front Of the Ninth army drive on this sec ter, and it's Doughboys, backed up new by heavy tanks ferried aVross the Roer in the last 43 hours, also captured Rodingen, Spiel, Welldorf, Pattern and MuntZ in broad at tack arc north of the Juelich-Col- o2ne road. Hottorf, Ralshofen and Kotteren also were taken.
 On the Ninth Army's northern wing, other infantry and armored forces slugged their way north and northeast of Linnich against some what stiffer opposition in thrust aimed at Dusseldorf.
 There the Americans stormed and captured KatZem, LoeVenich, DoVer- en. Houyerath, Hetzerath and Gran terath, driving a Six-mile wide wedge within a mile of the German stronghold of ErkelenZ.
