Yanks Advance
Rapidly In Luzon
Cagayan Valley
MANILA, June 6—(A*)—Show
down battles in northern Luzon’s
vital Cagayan valley are believed
nearer today as a result of the
Thirty-Seventh Division’s six-mile

capture Aritao village Monday
put American troops 216 miles
south of Aparri, northern most
Luzon city and only thirty miles
south of the Japanese base at
Bayombong, which Japanese civil
ians evacuated last December.
At Aritao the Yanks encoun
tered the first prepared Nippon
ese defense line, but found it de
serted. They took pillboxes and
gun positions without a fight.
On the Mindanao islands in Da
vao gulf an “off again, on again”
battle between the tireless Twen
ty-Fourth Division, under Maj.
Gen. Woodruff and the Davao
Japanese garrison flared again
Monday at Tagakpan village.

tration of power in federal hands
as opposed to government of the
people by the people.’.’

raged between the United States
Tenth Army and the Japs were
“firmly entrenched in new posi
tions.”
t Admiral Nimitz in his daily
communique failed to even men
tion ground action on the island,
reporting only the United States
air srikes in Jap home waters.
Such news blackouts in the past
often preceded the announcement
of developmnts of major import
ance, such as conclusions of cam
paigns or the launching of new in
! vasions.
Japan’s invasion consciousness
is sharpened further .by the plea
. to its citizens to emulate the chil
I
dren on Aka Jima who by hand i
grenade “banzai” (suicide) in
charges against American troops
and by Radio Tokyo’s claim thatI
the Jap mainland has been con
verted into an “impregnable fort
