"The Japs expected us to attack at Mindanao or in the northern Philippines.

Their best divisions were concentrated on Mindanao and their reinforcements were sent there. "Our air strikes were made there. Halsey's (3rd Fleet) strikes were to the north. "There are about 225,000 enemy combat troops in the Philippines. Our Leyte landing will cut them in two.

Floating mines were reported, but none was anywhere near our ship. Aboard, MacArthur was completely relaxed. His plans had been made.

No further decisions were to be taken until the troops were ashore. Incoming reports were tabulated end assembled so the General constantly was in touch with developments and progress. Even as the hour of the landing drew near, he was unruffled. He slept well, ate a hearty breakfast this morning and went briefly on deck smoking his familiar corncob.

USX. Splendid Progress Made At Leyte, M' Arthur Reports WASHINGTON. Oct. 20 (UP) Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported to the War Department that the Leyte invasion is making splendid progress and was accomplished on schedule with extremely light losses.

President Roosevelt disclosed today. Mr. Roosevelt announced the substance of Gen. MacArthur's report to Gen. George C.

Marshall, chief of staff, and said the Philippines commander reported the Japs were caught strategically unaware. Expected Blow In South The enemy expected the attack to come in the south. As a result of the American strategy in landing in the central Philippines, MacArthur explained in his message to Marshall, the Japanese forces on Mindanao were cut off from the main Japanese body and for all practical purposes no longer constitute a serious factor. The President again expressed his own feeling of satisfaction, saying it has taken a long time, but now the United States Army, Navy and air forces are back in the Phil-ipine Islands again. He said he was particularly happy that MacArthur was able to fulfill his promise to return.

Tells Of Plans Asked whether the Philippines invasion plan was drawn prior to his visit to Hawaii in July when he conferred with MacArthur and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, he said several plans were discussed long before he got to Pearl Harbor, and when he was in Hawaii he went over the plans with Mac- W-WWMoaW4 1 lifm y.v. Subject: "A Continued Success."

The most amazing part of the invasion is the fact that up to the time when the troops waded ashore, the enemy made no attempt to interfere with "this gravest threat to his conquered empire. For days, huge convoys pf ships converged from dozens of American forward bases scattered over the Central and Southwest Pacific. Last night they rendezvoused off the Central Philippines and with the first crack of 43awn began filing slowly through the entrance to Leyte Gulf.

On the upper decks, steel helmets and life preservers were ready for the expected attack. It didn't come. Shortly after dawn, a single twin engined bomber winged down through a terrific antiaircraft barrage and dropped a single bomb comically into the water. Then the enemy bomber itself plunged to a watery grave. Enemy aircraft, however, may sweep over the mountains at any minute.

Tonight, after dark, the Japs are almost sure to make some sort of attack on the hundreds of ships milling around in the gulf. At this minute in front of me, invasion craft continue to disgorge men and mechanized equipment. Already, spearheads of our attacking columns are pushing inward toward Tacloban in the north and the cluster of enemy airfields at the lower end of Leyte Island. There may be tough days ahead, but up to now, the combined skill of the American Army and Navy in the Pacific has caught the enemy completely off balance. The American flag flies once again over Philippine soil.

Services Tokyo Papers Call For Stepped-Up War Production SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20 (UP) Tokyo newspapers called for increased production of aircraft and other war materials today and warned that "decisive battles' are developing in the Philippines. Editorials stressed that the United States is moving for a new and perhaps greater thrust at the heart of Japan, according to a Do-mei news agency broadcast recorded by the Federal Communications Commission. The Tokyo domestic radio reported that the Japanese cabinet held a "quiet session" and said that Premier Gen. Kuniaki Koiso met with the full cabinet to discuss problems which included "sugar marketing, gas and supplies." Domei said that Japanese troops "at present are engaged in strong counterattacks against the enemy invader" in the Tacloban and Ca-talian areas on Leyte.

Domei said an American battleship "in a desperate attempt to attack the Philippines" Tuesday night ran aground. "The abortive attempt foreshadows the fate of other enemy warships seeking to penetrate the solid Philippine defense," Domei said.

Jordan, U.S.N.R. Willing of Honolulu Willing To Tangle With Nazi Huskies WITH THE FIFTH ARMY, ITALY First Lieutenant Carl H. C. Willing of Honolulu, Hawaii, recently took the leading, role-in routing a score of Germans on the Fifth Army front in Italy. The lieutenant, 24, platoon leader of a regimental reconnaissance outfit in the 34th "Red Bull" Division, received a report that 20 Germans were located in a farmhouse in the Appenines.

Taking a patrol he approached the building. The patrol was immediately fired upon, but returned the fire so effectively that the enemy withdrew. To screen their exit, the Germans drove Italian women from the house before them, forcing the Americans to hold their fire. This ruse, however, gained nothing, for they ran into other troops of Lieutenant Willing's regiment. Several Germans were killed and four captured.

Hawaii Guard Member Lieutenant Willing, who holds the Combat Infantryman Badge for exemplary conduct in action, is the son of Mrs. Abbie Willing, 3204 Duval street, Honolulu. A member of the Hawaii National Guard, he was commissioned in 1942. He went overseas to Africa in June, 1943, joining the 34th Division there the following August. He landed with the Red Bulls at Salerno last fall and has fought with them in every engagement of the Italian campaign.

20 (UP) William J. Dunne, broadcasting for all American networks direct from the beachhead at Leyte, said late today that Gen. Douglas MacArthur escorted President Sergio Os-mena of the Philippines ashore only a short tim after the first wave of American troops swarmed up the sands. Crowds of soldiers greeted them. Dunne said MacArthur was in fine spirits as the barge headed toward shore.

He said the general fixed his eyes on the Leyte coast, smiled, slapped his leg and declared: "Believe it or not, we're back." He stepped out of the barge as it hit the beach and with Osmena at his side waded through the surf of shore. Word of the general's arrival spread throughout the beachhead area and soon soldiers were rushing to greet their CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Pensaeola Klnau Sts.

Oct. 20 (UP) The "Air Apaches," a Mitchell bomber outfit, finally did it. They hit the Japanese with everything including the kitchen sink.

But even at the time of his death last August he knew the hour was not far off. Many Filipinos here looked ahead to the time when the Japs will be completely expelled and the Philippine common wealth takes it place among the family of nations. The United States has advanced the date of independence to the earliest possible day after liberation. The invasion brought concern as well as exultation among the Filipinos since "we all have mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters there. Many have been killed by the Japs.
