GENERAL MacARTHUR’S HEAD-
QUARTERS, Luzon, Jan. 25.—
A swiftly massing weight of 14th
army corps motorized troops be-
hieged Clark field’s 13 airstrips to-
day altar a two weeks campaign on
Luzon in which 10 Japanese were
killed for every American.
Manila lies less than M air-
line miles ahead of the south-
a bound Yank columns, disclosed
officially today to have paid the
relatively low cost of 657 lives
during the first 14 days of their
65-mile drive from Lingayen
gulf More than 6,000 dead Jap-
anese have been counted and
a the figure undoubtedly is great-
er because the Nipponese try to
conceal their losses by dragging
away many of the bodies.
An intricate maze of more than
30 fortress caves, which the Nippo-
nese spent months building as a
Wajor defense belt for Clark field,
Uttered with scores of wrecked Nip-
ponese bombers and fighters, is in
the hands of 40th division soldiers.
Disdainful of wilting enemy rear-
guard resistance, little artlUery
spotter planes landed on the satel-
■te field before the ground troops
got there.
The Bamban river, where the
enemy could have put up a delaying
fight, has been‘crossed.
The town of Bamban has been
seized and the town of Mabalacat,
“last one before Clark field, has been
reached, in a 10-mile push from Ca-
pas which has carried into Pam-
panga province, long referred to as
“the gateway to Manila."
As long ago as Wednesday morn-
cing, the latest period covered in to-
"day’s communique, motorized units
of Maj. Gen. Oscar W. Griswolds
corps were on the borders of Clark
field and Fort Stotsenburg.
It was there more than three
• ears ago that America’s main air
strength in the Philippines was
caught on the ground and wiped
out by the then sky-dominating
Nipponese airforce.
Today the situation Is revers-
ed. While United States planes

bomb-blasted Corregidor in Ma-
nila bay Tuesday-Japan’s air
strength in the Philippines la
being smashed on the ground.
At Bamban airfield, the major
satellite base overrun, Spencer Da-
vis, Associated Press war corres-
pondent. counted 40 wrecked enemy
planes in revetments and many oth-
er smashed bombers hidden under
nearby trees, then reported:
"This explains in part what has
become of the Japanese airforce on
Luzon and the lack of attacks upon
our own airfields, troop concentra-
tions and shipping."
The Yank spearheads are within
sight of mountainous Bataan penin-
sula where heroic Americans and
Filipinos made their gallant but
losing stand in 1942.
Maj. Gen. Rapp Brush’s 40th di-
vision entered the town of Bamban,
a little over four miles southwest
of Capas, Tuesday, finding the
Japanese had laid waste to it and
left behind a rearguard. This force
had to be ousted in a street-by-
street fight and flushed from pill-
boxes, Fred Hampson reported in an
Associated Press field dispatch
But in ridges west of the
town, where the Japanese had
counted on exacting a terriffic
toll of American lives, a net-
work of painstaking construct-
ed defenses was abandoned.
Cautiously Lt. Bernard J Nash,
of the Bronx, N. Y., led Infantry-
men and found them deserted.
Correspondent Davis, in a field
dispatch, reported the Nips built
tier on tier of these cave defenses,
stored them with ammunition and
food, equipped passageways with
rails for the movement of guns and
even moved in baby tanks. The
fleeing enemy carted off the food,
ammunition and weapons—an indi-
cation they gave up the idea of a
defense there several days ago.
On the secured hut still bitterly
opposed left flank, where the bulk of
American and Japanese casualties
have occurred, Japanese entrench-
ed on ridges near Rosario wers
shelled heavily by warships in Lin-
gayen gulf, supporting the 15th
regimental combat team and 43d

Lieutenant Gholson began his mil-

He was attached to the air serv-
