A staff officer said: “We are facing some of Japan’s best troops and in spite of all artillery it takes plain guts in the end to go in and dig out the enemy." Early advances were made prin cipally on the flanks. The Seventh Division veterans of Attu, Kwaja lein and the Philippines are on the east coast-and the 27th Division, which fought in the Marshalls and Gilberts and helped capture Sai pan, is on the west coast. The 96th Division, one of the outfits which conquered Leyte’in the Philippines, struck at the ene my’s interlocking trench and pill box system in the center of the line.

He pointed out that: “Our forces now control the en tire Visayan group, comprising an area of mpre than 33,000 square miles and liberating a population of more than 6,400000. “In addition to the main islands of Leyte, Samar, Mindoro, Panay, Palawan, Cebu, Negros, Bohol and Masbate, Japanese garrisons on a score of lesser islands, including Bantayan, Bsliran, Burias, Guima Marinduque, Quiduijor, Tabalas, Ti bao and the Sibuyan group have been eliminated. “This sweeps clear the center of the Philippines and leaves the only remaining enemy organized resis tance in Mindanao on the south and upper Luzon on the north. “From the Visayas will come may of the foodstuffs and raw materials for rehabilitation and re construction of the Philippines and for prosecution of the war against Japan itself, including hemp, co pra, metals, lumber and cement. “They already provide important air, land and naval bases for at tacks against vital areas in the Netherlands East Indies and south eastern Asia and for our increas ingly tight blockade of enemy ship ping lanes down the coast of China, Indo China, Thailand and Malaya.” __ AMERICANS BUILD NEW ROCKET BOMB (Continued from Page One) on the German holdout garrisons in the Bordeaux area on the French Atlantic coast. This fire bomb resembles the extra gas tanks' carried by planes in their wings. The American special aircraft engineering section has also been responsible for the development of the P-38 fighter plane into a high altitude precision bomber known as "droop snoot.” The new rocket-propelled high explosive bomb can be packed like ordinary bombs. When it is released and straightened out in flight, a special fuse sets off the rocket charge. According to ex perts who have seen this borrib on the practice range, it maintains perfect stability during flight.
