BATTLE OF
 THE ROCK
 E ENDED
Conegidor Taken by Tank Forles-S Ships Sail Into
 Manila Hdrbor
By c. YATES MCDANIEL FAD mor ccrresrondent)

[ MANILA, March 1--Gen. Douglas Macarthur announced today the entrance of American shipping into Manila Bay and the end of the Corregidor campaign, just IA days after paratroopers and infantry men landed on the fortress island to engage the well-armed enemy, double the size of the Yank in vading force.
 The Americans took "The Rock at the entrance of Manila Bay. in just half the time required by the Japanese to defeat the gallant de- lenders early in 1922.
 A force of 3,038 Americans, land ing under fire on February l6, avenged that surrender of 1922 by smashing approximately 5000 Japs. Gen. Macarthur said "the forti- fled fortress was defended to the point of annihilation by a we'll equipped fanatical enemy practical ly double the size of our force"
 American shipping, using the harbor, sailed past the once-for- midable Rock" at the bays en- trance.
 Gen. Macarthur said 4,215 Jap bodies have been counted on Cor regidor and many hundreds have been sealed up in tunnels and caves where they were buried alive or blown to bits as they touched off nderground ammunition dumps.
 Only IS Japs were taken prisoners on the tadpole-shaped island, and these were taken for the purpose of securing certain information.
 American losses totaled 136 killed, 531 wounded and eight miss ing.

CROSS . DIMENSION BALTIC LINE
Ndzi Forces Fall Back in
 Two Seetors-Move 2 on Berlin Front

LONDON, March 1--The Rus sians have crossed the lima River defense line east of Stettin in the offensive toward the Baltic, the German command says, and Mos COW dispatches said the large sec tion in eastern Pomerania appeared virtually cut off.
 The Nazi command said Zhukov's First White Russian Army forced a crossing of the lima River, flow ing in an east-to-west direction, to Stargard, stronghold l9 miles east of Stettin.
 Further east, the Germans said, Rokossovsky's Second White Rus sian Army forced the Germans to another retreat south of Dublitz, g miles from the coastal railway whose capture the Russians an- nounced last night.
 A retreat of the German forces southeast of Rummelsburg, IS miles east of Dublitz, is also announced by the Nazis.
 12-Mile Plunge
 Earlier German broadcasts said Rokossoysky had plunged 12 miles north of Dublitz to Pollnow, only Is miles from the railway, 30 miles north, and had captured Neustettin.
 On the Berlin front, Moscow dis patches said indications are the Russians have finally begun large scale operations across the Neisse in the thick defense zone between that river and the Spree. This is the east wall" which the Nazis have prepared for the southeastern defense of Berlin.
 Fighting today continues violent at Breslau, Silesian industrial capi- tai, where the Russians have won about one-fourth of the city and virtually all important suburbs.
 The German broadcasts frankly admit the Nazi forces on the Dan- zig Polish corridor, eastern Pomer- ania, are in immediate danger of being cut off.

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (It Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army

WASHINGTON-Though debates of the War Mobilization Board are secret, it has been belying all pre- dictions that it would be a rubber stamp for the Army and Navy. Those who have sat on the inside say it sometimes asks Gen. Lucius Clay to leave so it can discuss war problems without Army domination.
 Its backstage debates on the Work Fight Bill were especially significant. Much-loved ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes requested the War Mobilization Board to endorse the May Bill. But there was immediate rebellion.
 { I'm sorry I can't go along with you on that, MT. Justice observed fortnight Eric Johnston, President of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce Tt hasn't worked out in England and don't believe that compulsory labor will work out here"
 s Johnston then proceeded to give a comprehensive picture of his ob- jections to the Work-o Fight Bill. T am against it for the follow ing reasons" he said. "One, the Army has continued to dump it's war contracts into No. l labor areas. It has dumped it's newest plane contract in San Diego, the tightest labor area in the United States. It will have to hire 5000 more men in San Diego. This new contract means more schools, more sewage, more housing and there are plenty of other areas not over loaded with war work.

citing new members. It can point with pride" to it's effectiveness in getting beneficial legislation through Congress. It can draw on paternal feelings for those veterans of this war who want to wear the same lapel buttons their dads do.
 There's no doubt either that some youngsters already feel they should concentrate on their own organiza- tions. The American Veterans of World War II tAMVETS) is already going and growing concern.
 As Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out there may be others when the boys and girls get back from overseas. What trend the veterans organiza- tions will take is matter that very well could, for some years, shape the destiny of America. If the ten or twelve million service folk of this war ever could agree on something, they probably would be able to cast or control (through families and friends) between forty and fifty million votes.

AP Staff CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, Nov. 25-America:
Land of he-men, electric signs,
crowded hotels and counters gap
ing for British goods. ..
Such, in outline, is the picture
many a British business man, has
today after a tour of the United
States, Canada and Mexico by l..
r. Allen, chairman Of the Hosiery
and Knitwear Export group.
1t is a sprightly report that Al
len published for his colleagues
recently. On the plane that took
him to America, for instance, he
found:
'Six young English girls who
were leaving to start a new life as
wives of American service men.
1t was comforting to reflect that,
in these days of control orders,
We could still export something"
American business men he found
to>be "he-men who fight hard and
long for high standard of living
but are very human"
In capital letters, Allen told the
exporters that now is the time"
to get their products into Ameri-
can stores if they can.
Retailers are frantic for goods
of almost any Sort" he reported.
Were he permitted (by export
regulations) to trade, any British
manufacturer could sell his entire
production in America many times
over"
But there are some oddities about
American business, he found:
Herd instinct induces sudden
crazes which must be carefully
observed. A typical instance is the
vogue for bobby socks'-every girl
must now wear outsize short socks,
frequently her fathers, with big
low-heeled shoes.
American feet are larger than

standard price. =.
1.-The American public expect t.
be told what to buy; they just can
not believe goods can have an,
value less their merits are shouted
from the housetops."
Allen gave this impression o,
large cities he visited:
New York-"Good hotels around
but not a vacant bed in any OF
them. Beside the large stores,
London's shopping center looks like
a village street. if you go in
summer, discard your braces
(suspenders) and rely on q belt"
Chicago - .The city of Al

space lacking in New York, and it
is certainly fresher. The Loop

tiful gardens and edged with ex-
pensive residences"
San Antonio (where he saw
rodeo)-"One could have picked
remarkable beauty chorus from
the cowgirl competitors, though !
would envy no man the job of
training them"
Generally speaking, ''the refine
ments of an American home are
along a liberal education" Allen
reported, a little wistfully, while
their clubs battle description.

British Add Strength
To Malta Garrison

VALLETTA, Malta, Nov. 25.-(R
Two British infantry battalions
have arrived in Malta, bringing
the islands garrison to five batta-
lions compared with the normal
peacetime establishment of two.
(In London a War Office spokes-
man said he believed the troop
movement was routine" and that
the new battalions probably would
relieve two Of those previously sta
toned at Malta.
QIe declined to speculate on the
possibility that Britain was build
ing up a large force in Malta in
the event reinforcements should
be needed in the troubled Middle
East.

The China Times said today tina.
France has rejected a request by
China that Haiphong, Indochina,
be converted into free port and
that the Kunning-Haiphong rail-
road be placed under joint Sino-

Such request has never been
officially announced in Chungking,
although Lin CHILEAN, special rep
resentative of the Chinese Foreign
Office in Indochina, indicated in
a news conference here yesterday
that French acquiescence in such
developments would be welcom-

These are the largest finan- eial receipts in the history of this church.
 The church began as 8 preach ing station with regular services early in 1940. Since that time the church has undertaken and maintained all local operating expenses, and 8 portion of the pastors salary. The budget ad- opted for the new year includes a larger share of the pastors salary So that the church now pays over half of it. The American Baptist Home Mission Society pays the balance.
 During the past year some ex- iensiye maintenance of the church property was done, in efoding the painting of the extel- ior and staining of the roofs of bo b the parsonage and church building, some extensive cabinets and other equipment for the church and parsonage. During the past year fund was estab- hsbed for purchase of a new cleo trie organ and that fund now has oyer $9OO.
