PUSH ON DAVAO
." ROAD JUNCTION TAKEN Rec. 9 a.m. NEW YORK, April 23. The Americans, advancing eight miles in their drive against Davao, have captured Fort Ikit, an important road junction linking the central and southern columns of the 241h Division, says the United Press correspondent in Manila. The Americans are now little more than 60 air miles from Davao. The Japanese opposition is described as slight, but a bitter stand is expected at Davao. The forces are tightening the pressure from three sides against Baguio, and are now two miles northwest of the city limits. Members of the Filipino Government during the occupation and other officials have been captured. Included were Guillermo Francisco, a former chief of constabulary, and Emilio Abello, Foreign Vice-Minister.
