Sinjcle North Borneo Capital Taken By Australians, TKird Airstrip Periled By SPENCER DAVIS MANILA, June 15 (Friday) (AP) Brunei, important little river port and capital of the North Borneo sultanate of Brunei, fell by default to Australian Ninth Division infantrymen who walked unopposed into the bomb-flattened town Wednesday, it was disclosed today. The town, 16 miles from the nearest landing points when the invasion of British Borneo began last Sunday, was occupied after a hot march through the lush jungle against scanty Japanese opposition. A communique from Gen.

Douglas McArthur's head Reds Set i Trial For 16 Poles ONDON, June 14 (AP) it li Russia announced tonight that 16 Polish leaders would be tried within the next few days for "terroristic acts of diversion" behind Red Army lines. The announcement came on the Vve of a conference scheduled to open in the Russian capital tomorrow among representatives of the Big Three and various Polish factions for the purpose of organizing a broader-based Polish provisional government. At least one of the Poles invited Yank Casualties Total 1,107,097 WASHINGTON, June 14 AP) The end of the war in Europe was reflected today in army and navy casualty reports showing an increase of only 5,048 in the past week. The rise, one of the smallest for any week in months, boosted total losses to 1,107,097, including 233,138 killed; 616,013 wounded; 53,446 missing and 115,500 prisoners. The prisoner total actually is much smaller than this figure, because of liberation of American soldiers in German hands.

Henry L. Stimson, secretary of war, explained, in issuing the army casualties, that the report was based on names received in Washington through June 7 and represented action on the war fronts through mid-May. The army total of 899,953 was an increase of 4,118 over last week and the navy toll of 117,145 was a rise of 930.

Defense Is Stiffening The defense was stiffening, however, with mortar fire and snipers on the increase both in the Tim-balai area and in stubborn pockets north and west of Labuan airstrip, which already is being used to some extent by the Allies. Timbaiai is the last Japanese-held airfield of three in the invasion area. A headquarters spokesman, commenting on the light casualties on both sides, said "many thousands" of Japanese were scattered throughout West Borneo, although the slight reaction in the Brunei bay area indicated that no sizeable forces of the enemy remained there. Labuan airstrip, on which engineers were rushing improvements, will provide an excellent field for heavy bombers some 800 miles from Singapore, the spokesman said.

He cautioned, however, that restoring it would be a big b. because of Allied pre-invasion bombings and Jananese demolitions. Artillery-'tter planes already are using its and weed-grown strip. Air Support Given U. S.

The Truman welcoming rallies lsilish Defense Ord raere AN FRANCISCO, June 14 kJ (AP) Japanese broad casts today called on the peo ple to make an island fortress" of the homeland and de clared that "scores" of Flying Fort resses and Liberators from the European war were coming to the Philippines for increasingly heavy aerial attacks on Nippon. Premier Kantaro Suzuki boasted at a press conference in Tokyo that plans for the defense against invasion were "complete and perfect' and that even 500,000 American invaders would be met by forces "five or 10 times superior." One of the series of broadcasts heard by the Federal Communications Commission said "the next phase of the American offensive against Japan" would be in China while preparations went forward "for a direct landing on the Japanese mainland." Count Yoriyasu Arima. Japanese food czar, appealed to the people to "rise as one determined special attack (suicide) corps and defend the islands "to the bitter end." Dr. Hiroshi Shimomura, president of the Japanese board of information, said the emergency measures giving Suzuki the power to rule by decree were necessary because all other war measures "were quite insufficient for the present war situation." The Tokyo radio professed to see in Gen. Joseph W.

Stilwell's visits to the Pacific war theater a clue that the Americans would strike first in China in co-ordination with the Chinese armies. Domei news agency declared that U. S. veterans of the air war in Europe were arriving at Philippine bases" and that American "air supremacy in the Okinawa zone was being consolidated with frantic speed." Smaller Bombers Operate It said that five bases had been completed within a week and that the big Naha Airfield, best on Okinawa, had been put into use. From these bases, Domei added.

Liberators and Mitchell and Marauder medium bombers attacked the Japanese home islands Sunday. Two Liberators attempting to raid the Tokyo-Yokohama area today were shot down, the agency reported. The Tokyo home radio said Su perfortresses had extended mine-laying operations last night to west coast waters of the main Japanese island of Honshu and had dropped more mines into the inland sea. A domestic broadcast admitted the plight of the garrison on Okinawa was "truly desperate" but that Lt. Gen.

Simon Bolivar Buckner, American troop commander there, had been made to suffer the "embarrassment of a formal rejection" of a surrender demand. Military Takes Over Suzuki told his press conference he would not resign with the fall of Okinawa but was "as determined as ever to carry on my job to tide over this national crisis." He said in reply to a question that the supreme war council of all field marshals and fleet admirals and various other high-ranking military leaders "now functions virtually as a war cabinet," indicating that the military had just about taken over rule in the homeland. For the American invasion, the aged premier had an easy answer "We have only to smash the enemy seaborne force while at sea. When he comes to the shore, strike him right there. When he lands, destroy him on land.

That's all." To land even 500,000 troops over a period of months, be said, would call for enormous preparations. Distance Relied Upon In the Normandy invasion, Suzuki continued, the Allied invasion force had only the narrow English channel to cross and he wondered if "United States strategists are taking into full consideration the vast distance separating Japan from the United States." Should a landing be effected, he said that Japan was "in a position to concentrate at all points forces five times, or even 10 times larger than the enemy invasion forces." Unlike Germany, Suzuki said, the Japanese army and people "are only too willing to die in action for the cause in which they believe." He said Germany quit with a large number of troops intact and after suffering comparatively few killed in action. "If the entire nation is really determined to overcome this national crisis and is ready to sacrifice their own lives for the caiise," he added, "there is absolutely no reason why we should not be able to defend our own soil from enemy invasion." Chinese Officers Shot For Theft KUNMING, China, June 14 (UP) Three Chinese officers have been executed by a firing squad for theft and extortion in the handling of military supplies for Chinese armies, it was announced today. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, in a firm move to prevent a recurrence of the old Burma road "squeeze" that throttled the movement of supplies to stricken armies, approved the decision of a five-man military tribunal and personally ordered a death sentence. The officers involved were Liang Lin, a former mayor of Changsha who held the rank of major general; Maj.

Gen. Huang Yao and Col. Pao Yun Fei. All three were officials of the Chinese Service of Supply, which is responsible for supplying new Chinese forces striking south of the Yangtze river.

S. 10th Army troops, surging 800 yards across the Yaeju-Dake plateau, captured the last major Japanese defense position on Okinawa yesterday and the end of the bloody 75-day campaign was in sight as the doomed enemy began surrendering by scores. Maj. Gen. James L.

Bradley's 96th Division veterans of Guam and Leyte, driving into fierce Japanese fire in the center of the front, seized Yaeju-Dake Hill, a 500-foot height also known as Hill 167. after a fierce struggle. That gave the Americans the last important height looking down on the plateau which ends at 100-foot cliffs which fall off into the sea at the southern end of the Japanese pocket, now cut to an area of about 12 square miles. The hill was seized bv men of the 381st Regiment, as the First Marines on the west and the Seventh Infantry Division on the east shredded the Japanese flanks with advances up to 800 yards. The two flanking forces were approximate ly two miles apart across the i southern edge of the plateau and one column had slashed within less than three miles of the tip of Okinawa.

Dispatches told of what for the Japanese constituted wholesale surrenders. Scores of enemy troops and thousands of civilians, many urged on by Japanese-speaking i Americans broadcasting over loudspeakers aboard jeeps, were giving i up. Faced with being pushed i Pacific war.

One spearhead hammered into the center oi Nakaza town, a mile and a half southeast of Hill 167, against moderate to heavy resistance. Mai. Gen. Pedro Del Valle First Marines on the west launched a surprise attack before dawn yesterday and drove forward 600 to 800 yards to widen their front on Kunishi ridge.

The marines atop the ridge had been encountering trouble getting supplies across a half-mile wide rice field from the coast to the height, but relays of si Sherman tanks pushing ahead by night or through smokescreens brought up sufficient reinforcements to launch the assault. Other units of the First Marines hammered southward to the area of Mezado. 2-Ti miles from the southern tip of the island. To the north, units or tne Third Amphibious Corps made an unopposed landing on tiny Senaga island, three miles southwest of the American-held capital city of Naha.

June 14 (AP) Chinese troops attacking on a broad front in South China have reached the suburbs of Liuchow and Ishan. key strongholds in the shrinking japanese transcontinental corridor to Southeast Asia, the high command announced today. Enemy garrisons were being pounded in the northern suburbs of Liuchow, site of a former American airbase in Kwangsi province, and also at Ishan, 43 miles to the west on the Kweiyang (Kwei-chow) -Kwangsi railway.

The Chinese were forced out of Ishan last Monday following a severe Japanese counterattack, believed launched by rearguards pro tecting the enemy's withdrawal from the corridor which once connected Japanese forces in China with 200.000 enemy troops in Indo- China, Thailand, Malaya and Burma.

The gigantic desolation already wrought in Japan by a series of Superfortress raids, that have totaled about 75,000 tons since November, will be as nothing compared with the devastation the enemy may expect to start within hardly more than two weeks, Arnold made clear.

The scheduled 2,000,000 annual bomb tonnage would average 5,480 tons each day, and the five-star commander of the air forces erimlv declared: "If that is what Japan wants, iDy God, that is what she is going to get On First Visit on his first visit Here on his first visit to the Marianas area and the 21st Bomber Command, Arnold disclosed that the program for Japan was the same as for Germany aerial destruction of her industries, with the aid of Japanese-acquainted iaV xj 1 1 i i ri it r.s, da i pointed out, are that Japanese industry is concentrated in A smaller area, but is better dispersed among homes and small plants.
