This climax of campaign llich has yet to run Iran any concentrated Japanese opposition during a push of more than 70 miles from Lingayen Gulf, avenged one of America's major Setbacks of the Pacific war. Clark Field, where Ja2anesc divebombers vviped out Gen Douglas MacArthur's main air strength in the Philippines in early December, 1942, thus facilitating Nipponese conquest of the archipelago, gives the Americans a land air base to help blast open landing beaches on the coast of China.

Maj Gen Oscar W. Griswold's 14th Army Corps, moving so fast the Japanese were unable to mass defenses in ridge areas where they had labored for months, shot motorized columns well beyond Clark Field. Moving for quick use of the air center, Griswold sent patrols into the nearby hills from which Japatese could impair the field's usability. see LUZON rage 2 GEN QUART Clark ennstitut In the Thursda: Yanks a Stotsenb rushed tcant 40 This utitch enneentr during miles avenged tetbacks Clark divebom Douglas Etrength early De tating MaJ 14th the Ja defen had torizel Clark 1k1oI center then tese usabil See L.

The German news agcncy DNB said the Russian in.

vaders of East Prussia, totalling more than 2,325,000 men, had driven a wedge to the Baltic coast at Elbing in one of the greatest encirclement operations in history, and had broken into Elbing itself, 30 miles southeast of Danzig. While Moscow did not officially confirm this report, the Soviet communique did announce the capture of Bri. ensdorf, nine miles east of Elbing, and Baumgarth, 12 miles to the south. In taking Briensdorf the Russians cut the last Berlin-Konigsberg trunk railway. Capturing more than 1500 towns and villages on the 111th day of their gigantic push toward the heart of Germany, the Russians drove to within five miles east of Poznan, western Polish- stronghold and "gateway to Berlin," with the capture of Swarzedz.

Murowana-Goslina, 10 miles north of Poznan, also fell as the Russians surged up to the Warta River and prepared to cross that barrier in a flanking movement on Poznan.

Wallace challenged Congress today to find out if Jesse Jones administered the Government's giant lending agencies for the good of all. For himself, Wallace said he would do the job for the common man and small business.

Without naming the Man President Roosevelt wants him to succeed as Secretary of Commerce and head of the multi-billion dollar RFC. Wallace lashed back at Jones who yesterday called him unqualified to preside over such big business matters. Wallace did it this wayHe proposed to the Senate Commerce Committee that Congress investigate the administration of the lending agencies to determine if they should be stripped from the Commerce Department.

The attack rolled out at dawn along a 20-mile front, with three crack armored divisions pacing at least. three others in an assault which nowhere gained as much as two miles. A front dispatch said hard fighting raged tonight with the Americans inflicting punishing losses.

All along the front, a late dispatch said, the Germans were checked or smashed back. The threat to American positions at pivotal Haguenau, probably an initial German objective, was eased by doughboy counterattacks which shoved the enemy See EUROPE Page 2 Gen Eisenhower and Stalin 'in Contact' Paper Collections Press Service REV.
