YANKS MOVE
CLOSER TO
CAPITAL CITY
By YATES MacDANIEL and
JAMES HUTCHESON
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEAD.
QUARTERS ON LUZON, Jan. 17.
—(AP)—One week after landing
in the Lingayan Gulf, th^ power
ful American spearhead is more
than a third of the way tjo Man
ila, it was reported today.
It is still rolling southward in
dry, clear weather down the
broad central Luzon plain. They
have virtually checked on land
and in the air, the Japanese re
sistance.
However, on the left flank of
the broadened front, the first
Japanese counter-attack to the
invasion is reported stubbornly
held.
In the Posorrubio sector, the
communique said, the blow was
repulsed.
The conservatively worded of
ficial statements located the
deepest American penetrations as
on the central of the three main
north and south highways, about
45 miles from Lingayen and 83
miles from Manila.
The Yankee column which
reached Camiling, which is 30
miles south of Lingayen, is re
ported officially as working its
way southward, but the depth of
the advance was not pin-point
ed.
Field reports said that these
troops are progressing against
nothing stronger than occasional
harrassing by patrols.
Gen. MacArthur’s communique
gave no details of the intensity
of the Japanese counter-attack,
but violent enemy reaction ap
peared overdue several days, as
Hie Sixth Army kept the Japan
ese off balance.
