Routed Japs Prepare for New
Stand in Hills; Manila-Bataan
Areas Hammered by Air Fleet
(By the Associated Press) '
. '"' Mobile American columns annihilated ineffective Japanese
resistance, seized the Philippines' finest airdrome and Clark field
and swept on today to a highway junction approximately 40 miles
from Manila and 20 from Bataan. Port Stotsenberg, adjacent to
Clark field, also fell easily to the Americans.
American bombers, which will soon be operating from Clark
field within easy range of, these targets and the China coast, ham
mered Corregidor, Cavite naval base and a Subic bay in the
Manila-Bataan area.
Nipponese fought only delaying actions. They employed
mines, small groups of tanks and battled desperately from caves.
Yank mortars, artillery, tanks, flame throwers and infantrymen
blasted them out and pushed the Japanese farther back along the
same line of retreat towards Bataan that outnumbered U. S.
forces followed early in the war:
capture or Clark Held came as
a joint birthday present to Gen
Douglas MacArthur, 65, and Lt.
Gen. Walter Krueger, 64, who are
directing the Philippines cam
paign. Clark field was littered with
mines and booby traps. But the
enemy perhaps a force of 5,000
had fled to the hills from which
they could train artillery on the
runways. American guns moved
up to clean them out.

Another Ration-Tret. Sale
Of "Odd Lots" of Shoes
Is Authorized by OPA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (AP)
OPA today authorized a ration
free "odd lot" sale of men's and
women's shoes, beginning Feb. 19
and ending March 3.
The . agency estimated that
more than 4,500,000 pairs of shoes
will be sold during the two-week
ration holiday. This, represents
only about 3 per cent of rationed
shoes in wholesale ana retail
stocks.
The last ration-free "odd lot"
sale was held July 10-30, 1944,
when 5,785,000 pairs were sold.
That sale included youths' and
boys' shoes (sizes 1 to 6), but
these have been excluded this
time.
The sale price for shoes from a
retailer's stocks must be at least
25 per cent below the regular
price. The retailer's mark-up on
shoes purchased from another
dealer must not exceed 33 13
per cent.

today they intend to start- a
move to unseat State Representa
tive Einar C. Allen, Portland
democrat, whose illness has con
fined him to a Portland sanitar
ium since the opening day of the
session.
The house elections committee
recommended passage of a bill
to let county courts fill legisla

ing a person of the same party as
the predecessor. This would al
low appointment of a republican
to succeed Allen.
However, some house leaders
doubted that Allen could be oust
ed, since he was sworn in ion the
opening day: - ' t -
,The house in the past has re
fused to seat a man, but it has
not unseated one after he has
taken his place.
An meregency clause was tack
ed onto the bill, so it could apply
immediately to Allen, if an effort
is made to oust him.
Allen is not expected back lor

Aid Demands
Mean Higher
Taxes-Snell
SALEM. ORE. Jan. 26 (AP)
Governor Snell declared today
that If legislature meets thd many
uemanus lor more revenue, men
after the war it probably would
either have to make a drastic in
crease in the property tax or en
act a new form of tax. ..
Snell, in a radio address spon
sored by the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, cited requests
made for bigger old age pensions,
for $5,000,000 more a year for
schools, and for highway funds
for cities, asserting there . are
"sound arguments in support" of
the requests.
If the annual $26,000,000 of in
come tax collections drop to the
1943 level of $1,500,000 after the
war, then the legislature either
would have to find a new tax, or
else increase the property taxes
by $8,500,000, he said.
That is why, he added, he asked
the legislature to provide for a
thorough study of the States tax
system.
Speaks For Teachers ' '
Speaking of the educational
demands, the governor said
"we must provide adequate sal
aries for our teachers and other
wise provide certain facilities or
compensation sufficiently attrac
tive to encourage men and
women of Oregon to follow this
fine proffession."
Unemployment benefits of $15
a week for 16 weeks are too low,
