Another column swept through the Japanese defenses at the Bago river bridge and raced Il miles southward to Pontevedra, while the third force pushed two and half miles inland from Bago and seized the town of Santa Aniceta.
 The latter group made contact with strong guerrilla forces unde] Colonel Abcedes at Santa Aniceta.
 Troops of the American division on Cebu, east of NegroS, also joined with guerrilla forces, commanded by Colonel Gushing, to speed the cam- paign of clearing the island. The American troops, however, were re- ported meeting some resistance on high ground north of Guadalupe, g miles south of captured Cebu city.
 In announcing the new landings, MacArthur noted that the enemy seems bewildered and his defense is rapidly collapsing.'
 "Pre-occupied to the north in the Luzon and fearful of it's position to the south in Mindanao, he has neglected his center and left it ex- posed to a series of divergent thrusts which are proving vital" ," Macarthur added.
 In the Luzon campaign, 38th Di- vision troops landed on tiny Cabal. 10 Island in Manila Bay south ot Corregidor Tuesday and drove an estimated 800 Japanese into the western tunnels and caves. Des- troyers and artillery guns from nearby Corregidor supported the operation.
 On southern Luzon, the 11th air. borne and First Cavalry division made junction at Lipa, south of Laguna Bay, and continued to drive eastward. The Japanese were re- ported putting up fierce resistance at Mount Olila, three miles south of Lipa.
 Philippines-b based bombers con- tinued widespread attacks Wednes- day against the Japanese from the Dutch East Indies to French Indo- China and China coast.
 Formosa was given another 200- ton plastering which started huge fires at Takao and Tainan and wrecked four freight trains.

Politics
 -M- Passing

When city ofncials didn't oppose the measure granting the proba- ton ofncer an increase in his annual salary of $l,000 at Hartford, this past week local political observers. who look for motives in every action or lack of action, concluded that the division of the city court "spoils" this spring was going to throw the probation ofilcer's job to the Demo- crats. Their argument was that if the Democrats knew they were go- ing to have this job they'd naturally not oppose Democratic ofilce- holder getting a higher salary. whereas if 1t were going to be re- tained by a Republican they might interpose some objections. As 8 matter of strict fact the local off, clals who spoke before the Cities and Boroughs Committee this past week simply said they weren't opposed to the bill.

Waterbury may be forced to pay a price for passage of the airport bond bill. Rep. Isabel RyIander of Litchfield gave the tip of" when she questioned City Con- troller c. F. Maloney as to the plans for the city's airport. Since the hearing 1t has been made in- ereasingly evident that the city's bond bill Is being linked to the airport condemnation bill, which was so hotly opposed by, WolcOtt residents, led by Mrs. Rose Wake lee. Wolcott is not interested in tri-city airport that is going to take away from residents they regard as a family heritage. On the other hand Mayor John S. Monagan insists that no site has yet been agreed upon for an air port and as a consequence the bond bill should not be leopard ized.

On the business side of the ledger Waterbury Democrats are bling up lot of assets these days. Net only is the Monagan admin istration taking advantage of the times to pile up tremendous cash reserves, but it is not leaving a stone unturned in it's efforts to collect on every possible back tax that is presently outstanding. Working on the theory that people win pay taxes when they have the wherewithal the administration is putting forth every effort to collect during current good times. In addition expenditures are being carefully checked, both by virtue of lack of materials and also by close watch by the financial au- thorities.

The hearings on April 18th at the Capitol before the Public Personnel Committee should be extremely in- teresting. That's the day Water- bury's pension bills come up. Dur ing the last few weeks there have been number of expressions of opinion about recent statements of Mayor Monagan with reference to the actuarial features of the plan proposed by the legislative named pension commission. At least two individuals seemed to think that the mayor was trying to scuttle the feature of this bill which called for creation of reserves. Actually what he was complaining about was the amount of reserves said to be necessary to take care of past serv- ice. He expressed an opinion that 1t might not be necessary for the city to put into the pension fund as much as estimated by the con- missions actuary. And in this feel. ing he will find support.
 Introduction of the name of
 former Judge Edward Mascolo as
 . possible Democratic contender
 for the mayoralty nomination
 brings up the subject of party
 nominations. It will be recalled
 that a year ago it was necessary
 to hold nominations early so that
 the names of all candidates could
 be included on the ballots being
 sent to men and women in the
 service. If this isn't taken too
 seriously by local politicos there
 may be no attempt in 1945 to cor
 raj any Sizeable absentee soldier
 vote. As matter of fact a local
 election doesn't attract the ab-
 sentee vote like those In state and national election years. But [ there are always a certain num-
 Der who like to cast their ballot. { And don't forget the Mayor John S. MOnagan has a tremendous
 number of friends among the serv. 4cemen who have gone out from
 Waterbury.
 Down in Bridgeport they are al- ready talking about Controller Perry Rodman as a possible successor to Mayor Jasper McLevy. This de- spite the fact that the mayor seems as perennial as anything you could find. However "Bill" Walsh of the Bridgeport Post seemed to find in- dications in recent events to war rant . comment or two along these xne& Recent legislative hearings found Controller Rodman being sub- 1ected to some criticism, although the matter at hand was simply mak- ing his job an elective rather than appointive one. MT. Walsh argues that if the Bridgeport bill is ap- proved and passed the Socialists will nominate MT. Rodman, although he's not of their party, probably will elect him and thus create a worthy successor to the mayor, if he should ever get tired of running, which he probably won't.

Think up your own comment on
this bit Of casting at Warner Bros:
Enrol Flynn as THE Adventures of
Don Juan" The studio is-now lining
up 20 women to appear opposite the
star. Rumblings of activity at
the Charlie Chaplin lot. The star
of the courtrooms is slated to start
Monsieur Bluebeard" in April. He
will act, direct and produce as per
usual. Joan Blondell and James
Dunn, both of whom climbed "A
Tree Grows in Brooklyn" to renewed
stardom, will team again in Com
mand to Embezzle," whatever that is.
Two screen comebacks are in the
making: Anna @. Nilsson is testing
for role in Bells of st. Mary's,"
and Dorothy Sebastian is set for
George Whites Scandals of 1945"
at RKO. Greer Carson seems
the logical choice for war heroes

The producers of "The Rainbow"

of this case against the Germans.
With the realism of documentary,
they have pictured this invasion of
an Ukrainian village in terms that
would abash Hollywood. They have
shown children terrified and shot to
death by the invader, guerrilla
mother -to-be forced to walk bare
foot through the winter snow, the
barbaric murder of a newborn baby
and dozen of the other monstrous
crimes for which the Germans will
