The con- queror of Singapore and perhaps six of ‘his general officers now are bunted like common criminals in the center of a rapidly-closing trap some 32 miles north of Baguio. Americans believe all of these officers, including Yamashita, still are on Luzon, living in filth and forcing their troops and Japanese civilians caught with them to con- tinue resistance. Yamashita is believed te be in the center of the strongest, mc fully organized pocket of Japanese resistance remaining on Luzon.
