Manila, June 20. (AP) — Fifth
*r force fighter ^>ond attack
bombers, flying at least 300 sor-
ties a day over northern Luzon,
ripped and ravaged Japanese
making their last stand in the
AM>po^ Cagayan valley today as*
Americans and Filipinos closed in
for the l^ill.
Strafing roads and bombing
concentrations of enemy troops
and supples wherever found, the
Lightnings, Mustangs and Thun-
derbolts gave their most striking
example pf effectiveness in "death
valley." There the 33rd division's
139tb infantry regiment, pushing
east along the Balud river, north-
east of Baguio, found Japanese
bodies, fragments of vehicles and
shattered supply dumps tittering
the valley slopes for eight-miles
between Bokod and Ambulca
The carnage resulted from re
peated aerial attacks and artHr
lery pounding by 240 millimetei\
howitzers.
When doughboys finally enter-
ed the valley they found survi-
vors of the Japanese division daz-
ed, starving and unable to offer
worthwhile resistance.
Japanese were taking a Similar
Mtating from the air near guer-
rilla - defended Tuguegarao, Ca-
gayan provincial capital. The en-
emy wfas fighting a fanatical bat-
tle tOjregaln the ruined town-dff-
apite the approach of the 37th di-
vision, last reported within four
miles.
Disintegration of Japanese for-
ces elsewhere on Luzon was cm-
. phasized by the First cavalry di-
vision's report that more than 300
Formosan service and garrison
troops had been conducted into
American-lines in a single week
by one Formosan prisoner of war.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur an-
nounced today that elements of
the 23th division had made an un-
opposed amphibious hop June 10
to land at Baler bay, birthplace of
the late .President Manuel Quezon.
The landing added another, check
on disorganized Japanese in south-
ern Luzon who Were trying to
reach the upper Cagayan valley
for a last ditch stand.

CORRECTION
Misplaced Line
Completely Changes
Meaning of Story
n corrected line of type from a
story concerning the christening |
of the Levy Joseph 111, a new Ford
car owned by Wynne Pearce, Jr.,
was inadvertently Inserted in an-
other story containing a statement
by Dr. Royal w. Williams, head
of the Orange City - County
Health Unit, condemning condi-
tions in places operated in Louis-
iana just across the JSabine river
from Orange, in some copies of
Monday's Orange Leader.
Only 630 copies of the paper
had been printed when the error
was discovered and an intensive
effort" was made to recover these
papers from carrier boys and
news stands and to replace them
with corrected copies but some
were circulated.
The line read "belonging to
Wynne Pearce, Jr.," and it was
inserted in place of a ^ine which
should have read, "is our fight la-/
dies and gentlemen." Neither
correction makes com-
p, 1 e t e sense as printed
but it can be construed to mean
that the condemned places, all/' of
them, belonged to Wynne Pearce,
Jr. i Such a meaning is not only
ridiculous but so foreign to the
meaning intended that we print
this correction in all Issues of the
Leader today in a sincere effort to
undo any harm that the .error
caused. ', '
To any one who is not familiar
with the operation or a linotype
machine or the make-up proce-
dure of u newspaper, large or
small, it is hard to explain how
such a grievous error could be
committed. But it happens often,
usually without distorting the
story, and patently a mistake.
A mechanical defect, a' minute
article of dustman cause a mat
etter mold) to stick in the chan-
nel and cause .the next letter to
fall\ahead/of the one intended
and out of place. To Correct this
error another complete line must
be, set On the linotype 0ine-of-
type) machine and this new line
is inserted\n the stick (column)
of type in place of the incorWspt
one. Type is read up-side-doWn
in the stick and\t is an easy mat-
ter to mistake the desired line
and place the wrohg one in the
space. \
This is what happened yester-
day. \
We wish we could say \It won't
happen again" but we knt^v that
as long as human beings are in-
volved errors will be made but
we promise to be eternally vigi-
lant and to try to avoid any sini\
ilar mistake.

LET'S DO
SOMETHING
ABOUT IT!
Those of us who are now in-
NOT EVEI^Y ONE PLEASED |s vesting our extra dollars to get
always the case when people urc : complete victory from Japan
served regardless of the Individ- might still pause a moment to
ual or group rendering the ser-
vice, or the merit of what is done.
It is quite often the case that some
individual stands out in opposition
to what ever is done. In
such cases those responsible must
keep their own conscience in the
best possible shape and abide by
thein — using the old David
Crockett idea ad a criteria^.
KEEP YOUNG AT ORANGE is
a winning thought if properly
presented to the ' people who
should be easily induced to make
observations for themselves. For
instance a man coming to Orange
in the past several months from
a section of country where climac.
tic conditions are supposed to be
ideal remarked, ''Did you ever no-
tice that the people hold their ages
exceptionally well In Orange'.'"
He commented then that it hud
been his observation in other sec-
tion! of 26 states, that people
showed age" much more in. other
sections than at Orange. He wus
able to give a logical reason for
this circumstance too.
