SIXTH TANKS
 THIRTY MILES FROM MANILA
Furious FighfFIdres on East Flank as Jdps Con-
 test Advance
By JAMES HUTCHINSON
 and
 C. YATES MCDANIEL GA. r. War Correspondents)

GEN. MacARTHUR'S H F. A D. QUARTERS, LUZON, Jan. 16 - Sixth Army tanks rolled to within 30 miles of Manila, capturing the road junction of Camiling, 30 miles from the invaded Lingayen Gulf, but are locked in furious combat on the east flank with Japanese hill-entrenched forces contestipg every foot of ground.
 Capture of Camiling, which brought southbound troops into Tarlac Province was announced by a communique which reported ad- vances in all sectors.
 But a field dispatch from Dean Schneider told of fierce fighting on the east flank where Gen MacAr- thur went yesterday to watch field artillery and offshore warships throw high explosives and shrapnel shells into enemy positions.
 That fight is developing along the northeast end of the 45-miIe- wide curving beachhead as Yank captors of the coastal town of Damortis seek to move inland east over the nine miles to Rosario
 Macarthur later watched explo- sives bursting in those positions along the road leading to Baguio, summer capital of the Philippines.
