Advances Cut

Resistance Slight
To Okinawa Forces
By The Associated Press
A. new American invasion in the
Philippines and fresh advances for
Yank soldiers and Marines of the
10th Army on strategic Okinawa were
officially reported by Army and Navy
Pacific commanders late Wednesday.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur announc-
ed invasion of Masbate Island, in the
Central Philippines against little re-
sistance, while fleet Admiral Chester
W. Nimitz disclosed that Marines and
doughboys on Okinawa were meeting
only scattered opposition as they
pushed their lines forward in all sec-
tors.
40th Division Lands
Elements of the 40th Division land-
ed on Masbate, astride the main water
shipping lane through the Philip-
pines. Aided by guerrillas, they were
rapidly securing the entire island.
On Okinawa the Yanks, pushing
toward what may mean a real scrap
in the south, have met little fight in
taking 80 square miles or one-sixth
of the island which lies only 325
miles southwest ;of the Japanese
homeland.
Control Coast Sections
The 10th Army was in control of a
large slice of the coastlines of two
eastern Okinawa bays-Kimmu and
Nakagusuku. The eastern coast from
Yaka, on the north, to Kuba, on the
south, was in Yank hands.
To the northeast of Okinawa Amer-
ican carrier planes struck heavily
against the Japanese airforce and
shipping in the Amami Islands, also
in the Ryukyus.
Radio Tokyo acknowledged that
the Yank 10th Army has cut Oki-
nawa in two by driving from the
west to the east coast. It made the
unconfirmed claim that 11 additional
American ships-a battleship, four
cruisers and six transports -- were
sunk off Okinawa.

Lecturer Says
America Gives
Filpinos H1o)pe
"There can be an understanding
between all peoples, because in my
country you and I worked out the
principles of friendship and peace,"
Mrs. Pilar Hidalgo Lim, of Marin-
duque, the Philippines, said last
night in an address sponsored by the
Philippine-Michigan Club as part
of. a program commemorating the re-
turn of American and Filipino forces
to thp islands.
Faith in America
In her speech, "The Orient Sees
America's Vision," Mrs. Lim stressed I
the faith that the Filipinos have in
America as the defender of their lib-
erty and has given them the means
for that liberty.
She expressed the gratitude and
faith that her country has in the
American armies now fightinghin the
Philippines by saying that she wan-
ted the United States to feel her
people as "a strength, a force, a sup-
port for peace".
Vision of Philippines
Whatever should be decided at the
international peace tables, Mrs. Lim,
said, "the vision must never be shat-
tered." That vision, she explained, is
the one which the Americans built
up when they brought education,
commerce, better methods of sani-
tation and agriculture, and demo-
cratic government to the Philippines.
Following Mrs. Lim's address a
program of music and dancing was
presented against a festive native
background by members of the Phil-
ippine-Michigan Club.

Bratislava Stormed
Premier Stalin announced the
storming of Bratislava, capital of the
Nazi puppet state of Slovakia and a
key Danubian stronghold of 160,000
population, less than 24 hours after
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Sec-
ond Ukrainian group had laid siege to
the city.
The subsequent Moscow broadcast
communique announced that Marshal
Feodor I. Tolbukhin's Third Ukrain-
ian forces seized more than 30 com-
munities south and southwest of
Vienna, one of them-Zwoelfazing-
only a mile and a half from the south-
ern city limits and seven and a half
from the very center of the Austrian
capital.
Aided by Bulgarians
Almost due south of Vienna the
Russians announced they had hurled
the last of the Germans off Hungar-
ian territory and were pressing their
liberating invasion of Yugoslavia.
This drive, which took ten Yugo-
slav towns during the day, was aided
by Bulgarian troops.
Similarly, Czechoslovak army for-
ces aided in the southwestward thrust
of the Fourth Ukrainian Army in
