The New York Herald Tribune notes a “Bataan in reverse” trend as American forces press Ormoc, trapping thousands of Japanese defenders in the Ormoc sector. The loss weakens Japanese supply and reinforcement routes in western Leyte and accelerates the corridor campaign toward the Yamashita Line. Allied units from the 77th Division push inland as the Japanese defenses crumble.
