8) Phantom Army Swamps Foe In Luzon Climax 1 MANILA, June 23 (UP) A phantom Filipino-American army fanned through the Cagayan Valley today in pursuit of the last large enemy force on Luzon after sealing the island's final escape port. The ghost force, composed of 6th Army troops and Filipino guerrillas, suddenly swooped down from the mountains of northwest Luzon, where its presence had been a secret until now. The group crossed the Cagayan river Thursday night and by 7:30 the next morning had captured Aparri, North Luzon port with a population of 25,000.

The area in which the battle occurred has long been a sore spot with police and military officials. In the entrances of many of the winding lanes in the jungle of tenements are large signs "off bounds to military and naval personnel." After midnight groups of children still played in the squalor of trash-littered passage ways. Young couples smoked and giggled in the darkness of narrow porches and doorways. Shrewish women of many racial strains gossiped and quarreled over the details, while the men stood about in sullen silence, refusing to give the slightest inkling as to the cause of trouble.

Some of them are trap fisher men, others go after varieties of fish which they know best how to catch, like the weke, pro nounced vekki, which is a very popular in the local market when it gets there.

Three Filipinos were hospitalized following the brawl in which bottles, clubs, rocks and knives were used.

Detective James Carroll and several uniformed policemen were busy for two hours searching the dismal maze of tumbled-down tenements that cluster Desha and off-shoot lanes. Several suspected participants were arrested for questioning and more arrests are expected today, based on the stories of the many witnesses. The fighting was so widespread and scattered about the area that tise von ltd. Kin? Bishop Sts. Branches Hilo, Walluku, Lihue.
