P. War Correspondent) GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD- QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP- PINES, Nov. 20—Gen. Douglas MacArthur has announced that Japanese dead and wounded on Leyte Island have gxceeded 45,000 since A-Day, October 20, compared with American casualties of 5691 dead, wounded or missing. The latest figures were released as new reports told of bloody hgm- ing around Limon, on the northern end of the Ormoc corridor. Ameri- can ground forces broke the vicious Japanese counterattack and held firmly the road block across the Ormoc highway, as tank-led Nip- ponese attempted to send rein- forcements to remnants of the regiment surrounded at Limon. Figures estimated indicate that Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita still has 25,000 first-class troops in the | narrow corridor extending south- ward from the Limon vicinity to Ormoc, a distance of 25 miles.

The meat dealers have been selling no beef since that date. } It has now been found impos- sible to operate the stores on the sales of other types of meat alone, and, therefore, all meat stores in Juneau and Douglas are closing at 5:30 p. m., Wednesday, November 22. In the meantime, the dealers have requested the OPA to have a cutting test made of a side of beef, for the purpose of determin- ing the effect of the new schedules on the cuts of beef sold in Al- aska. | The OPA has agreed to have al test made, but this will not be| done until next Friday aflernoonf at 2 o'clock. | Cutting Test | “In the meantime,” the spokes- man for the Gastineau Channel| meat dealers said, “We have re-| ceived telegrams from all towns| in Alaska, except Ketchikan, pror | testing against the new schedule | | have been informed that sales of | beef have been discontinued in these towns also.

Ickes, concerning| establishment of Indian reserva- | tions in Southeast Alaska, was read into the record at the Federal hearings here on the Indian claims and it immediately precipitated an argument as to the exact purpose of the hearings. The letter, from Oscar L. Chap- rhan, Ickes' assistant, said in part: “It is true Congress has not made public hearings a prerequisite for| the establishment of reservations in | Southeast Alaska. The hearings are being held prior to the establish- ment of such reservations in order to permit persons with adverse in- terests to present reasons against such reservations or against inclu- sion of particular areas in such reservations.” The letter was introduced by Theodore Haas, Interior Depart- ment Attorney, to show that the | property of a Ketchikan woman, Mrs. K. M. Nelson, would not be endangered. Only A Prelude { W. C.

It is a week of the great- est promise since the Normandy break-through. French troops and armor un- hinged the entire German southern flank at the Swiss border and surged into the outskirts of the by-passed fortress city of Belfort. The break- through was announced by Gen. Jean De Lattre De Tassigny, of the First French Army. The Rhine was reached by night~ fall yesterday, he said. American and French forces seized four of the six main pdsses through the Vosges to the Rhine. They are now battling 37 miles from Strasbourg, 21 from Colmar and 10 from Mul- house, all important cities on the French side of the Rhine. Crushing Metz ‘Third Army forces, crushing Metz in a grip that seized a third of that blocked-off old Roman fortress city, drew up to the Saar border on a ten-mile front and punched out a five-mile square block of German territory, nerthwest of the Saar and east of Luxembourg horder. This, . _alqug ./ the wesiern fringe of the Saar Valley, just east of the Moselle River, assumed the proportions of a drive up the fa- mous Moselle gate toward Trier and Coblenz on the Rhine. Eight miles northeast on the Col- ogne plain, three Allied armies are fighting. Eisenhower’s most con- centrated front has bulged approxi- mately five miles northeast of Aachen since the start of their of- fensive through the Germans’ most formidable, determined defense.
