JAPANESE IN A TRAP
In Luzon Valley
WASHINGTON, June 25.
General MacArthur's communique says: American troops have now thoroughly trapped Jananese forces in the Cagayan Valley on Luzon Island. Our 37th. Division advanced down the valley to within four, miles of Tuguearao. Our northern column is pushing southward from the Parri sector. Our 10th. Corps and Philippine guerrilla units are aggressively mopping-up isolated enemy groups on Mindanao Island. Heavy bombers bombed Kobi alcohol refinery on Formosa. Other aircraft enforcing a coastal blockade wrecked three freighters, destroyed two large sailing ships southwest of Hong Kong, bombed petroleum storage areas at Nanking and set fire to an arsenal near Canton.
