INDUCTIONS
ARE TO BE
INCREASED
--
WASHINGTON, Jan 10.—(AP)
—Undersecretary of War Patter
son told congress today that in
ductions into the armed forces for
the first six months of 1945 will
total 900,000 men.
As a minimum, a basis of in
duction rate will be 150,000 men
monthly, about twice the rate
previously inducted in the early
months of last year.
The War Department recently
indicated that the army and navy
were taking about 60,000 a month
in the latter months of 1944. This
will be jumped to 80,000 this
month. I
Urging that a quick enactment
of national service legislation be
made, Patterson advised the
House Military committee that
only through some form of na
tional service could manpower
needs in the war effort be met
through the next six months.
Pending enactment of an over
statute, Patterson said that the
War Deparment favored a ‘‘work
or fight” legislation for all men
between 18 and 45 years of age.
The committee is considering
such a bill.

i 800-SHIP CONVOY
IN INVASION
By JAMES HUTCHESON
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP
PINES, Jan. 10.—(API—10,POO
U. S. troops of the Sixth Army
forces, who were accompanied
ashore by General MacArthur,
personally, landed on Tuesday
along the 15-miLe Lingayen Gulf,
on the coast of Luzon Island, it
was revealed today.
An 800-shlp convoy pushed
deep into the flatlands which lead
to Manila, 125 miles away.
It is ideal tank war country
and tanks were among the equip
ment put ashore, which will be
used for a powerhouse offensive
from the beachhead, which has
been cleared of Japanese.
With fierce W’arslup shellings
and aerial bombings, the lightly
opposed Yanks surged inland
over the same crescent which the
Japanese employed three years
ago in their invasion.
The ground is now dry and
suited to war movements.
A field dispatch disclosed that
Gen. MacArthur has already set
up his headquarters on Luzon.
It also said that landings were
made in the southern extremity
of the gulf, which includes the
city of Lingayen.
Gen. MacArthur is now back on
the island, where he fought the
losing battles in the opening of
the Pacific war. This is the show
down fight for all the Philip
pines.
The way had been paved by a
multiplicity of warships and aer
ial attacks.
