ALLIED TROOPS MOVE SLOWLY ATSANANANDA Character of Territory Prohibits Fast Cleanup Of Japs. With American troops in New" Guinea, Jan. 10. (Delayed) (AP) The very character of the front laughingly called the Sanananda front accounts in large degree for the slow progress of Allied troops in cleaning out the vestige of enemy strength on the Papuan pen insula. An attack in force is due to be launched in time, but naturally it won't come until the Jap positions well concealed machinegun posts, log, gun emplacements and pillboxes have been located as much as possible by small patrols which constantly are "working the area.

I visited this "front" Thursday with a unit of American troops and had opportunity to survey it closely while the men rested along the jungle-bordered trail leading to Sanananda point itself. Actually, the front is composed of entirely similar patches of Jungle swamp, In some of which there are Japs, in others Americans and Australians. Beyond one Allied force, the enemy holds a wedge-shaped position between the main Sanananda track and another trail branching off to Cape Killerton. But beyond those, Japs there are Americans who have closed off a part of the enemy's possible line of withdrawal. And within earshot of those Americans drawn mostly from Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washingtonthere Is a Jap force whose outposts are less than E0 yards away.

It's rare for anybody to see any of the others friend or foe unless they stand up or move about and thus expose themselves. The Americans here are a fine looking lot; husky and healthy, "bloody big chaps," as one Aussie soldier put it A grey-haired ambulance driver, PFC.

REGULATIONS ON RATIONING GAS, OIL REVISED News Photographers Are Eligible to Books, OPA Says. Washington. (AP) The Office of Price Administration announced Thursday it would make newa photographers eligible for gasoline coupon books for transporting non-portable equipment. Photographers who qualify under the amendment, effective Jan. 20, will be eligible for sufficient gasoline to take pictures for their publications.

A previous regulation limited preferred mileage for photographic purposes to newsreel cameramen. Persons using non portable equipment to take photographs for magazines or for industrial or governmental use also were made eligible for rations. OPA said the order was de signed to provide mileage only for photographers carrying bulky or cumbersome equipment which cannot be transported in public conveyances. To qualify for preferred mileage, however, photographers must show that the additional rations are nec essary for transporting non-portable equipment. They also must show lack of alternate transportation requirements.

FUEL OIL CHANGES. The OPA also simplified its fuel oil rationing regulations for householders receiving 200 gallons or less of oil a year, to permit them to redeem ration coupons any time during the year, rather than during specified heating periods. They will have the entire responsibility of budgeting their consumption for the remainder of the heating year ending Sept. 30, In another order designed to aid the petroleum industry In meeting delivery problems, OPA established "over lap" periods in the validity dates between the expiration of a current ration and the issuance of a renewal ration. DOMESTIC USERS.

The order will affect mainly consumers using fuel oil for domestic cooking, lighting, industrial purposes and uses other than heating. Under the ruling, rations may be used for an additional 15 days after the expiration date, provided a renewal application has been filed. Likewise, a consumer may use the ration issued for the next quarter during the 15 days before the quarter begins.
