VITAL GAINS
Equally important insofar as
the battle Of Asia is concerned,
Chinese extended their grasp on
South China's Indo-China COR
ridor which a Chungking Army
spokesman sa d had isolated
about 100000 Japanese in Bur-
ma, Thailand, Indo-China and
Malaga.
A sudden seven mile lunge
northWard in the Philippines
carried the u. S. 37th Division
into Bayombong, japanese sup
ply base in Luzon Islands fertile
Cagayan valley. The first Nip
Iponese flamethrowing tanks en-
countered in the Southwest Pa
cific were knocked pout on the
way.
Matching action on the fight
ing fronts were political devel-
opments in Tokyo. The govern
ment controlled Domei news
agency reported growing de-
nland that the parliament be by
passed and that Adm. Kantaro
Suzuki's cabinet rule by imper-
ial decree to meet Marlborough
emergencies. The report follow
ed meeting of Suzuki yester-
day with political leaders, a re-
port to the emperor and an ex-
traordinary five hour cabinet
session. 1t was followed by call
from the nations totalitarian
party for immediate increase in
Nippon's fighting strength.
EXPRESS FEARS
Japanese have repeatedly ex-
pressed fear that an invasion
of the home islands would follow
conquest of Okinawa.
japanese remnants are broken
into two disconnected forces
which Marine commanders said
may be Of about equal strength
both well armed with auto
matte weapons and determined
to hang onto the hills they still
hold until they are killed.
The First Marine Division
slashing 900 yards to the west,
came within 800 yards of the
coast below Naha airfield. Above
this point Sixth Division Marines
were driving into the northern
pocket over rough ground In the
face of heavy fire, including
antiaircraft guns.

TWO-WEEKS TO GO
Ten days TO two weeks more
of committee work and speech
making remain to get the Unit
ed Nations charter in final
shape for signing, but no more
major issues are on the horizon.
1t took the combined efforts
of Premier Stain, Harry Hop
lins, who was then in Moscow,
and Secretary of State Stettin-
Jus, who acted with President
Truman's approval, to end the
deadlock. Hopkins, on instruc-
tons from Stettinius, asked
Stain to reconsider Soviet in
sistence that any of the Big
Five could veto even discussion
in the peace-enforcement coun-
Gil of an international dispute.
The other four major powers did
not want a single veto to block
formidable talk.
WANT SUCCESS
Stain reversed the Soviet po-
sition, acting, according to his
spokesman here, in the interest
of unanimity and to speed the
conference to success.
Russian Ambassador Andrei
Gromyko first advised Stettin-
Jus of Moscow's action yeSter-
day. Then he told it to Stettin-
ius and representatives Of Brit
ain, China and France at mid
afternoon meeting at the Secre-
tary'S penthouse headquarters.
The five next rushed to confer
ence headquarters at the Vet
Grams Building and amid much
applause announced the news to
the delegation chairmen of the
other 45 nations represented
here.
After days of tension and anx-
iety lest the big powers split
permanently, 4 to /, on this is
sue, delegates emerged from
the steering committee confer
ence room chatting and smiling.
