Fuse Containing Two
Elements on Market
Chicago U.R) Guts Ber
thel, chairman of the fuse sec
tion of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association, said
many fuses blow not just be
cause there is a short circuit,
but because motors of appliances
draw a very heavy load when
they start up.
Berthel said a new fuse has
been designed to help solve this
problem. The fuse has two ele
ments, one to cut the circuit
In case of a "short" and the
other to give the circuit a longer !
time to allow electric motors to
start. -
The starting load for motors
is heavy, but this drops off once
they begin to run, he explained.
For modern appliances that
demand a large amount of elec
tricity to start, such as washers,
driers,, and heating units, he
recommended "the new time-lag
type of fuse. He also suggested
that wiring be checked to be
sure it is adequate.

United Press Staff Correspondent
Koror, Palau, Caroline Islands
(U.R) Trust territory officials
estimated Saturday there are at
least seven Japanese military
stragglers still in the Western
Carolines and probably more on
other islands of the South Pa'
cific.
One Korean member of a Jap
anese army labor battalion was
captured a few - weeks ago by
natives of the neighboring island
of Peleiiu. He was amazed to
learn of Japan's surrender 10
years ago.
District Commander Donald
Heron said seven Japanese
stragglers were known to be on
the adjoining island of Babel-
thaup two years ago.
"We have every reason to be
lieve they are still there," Heron
said. ''A Palauan woman claim
ed she saw a Japanese recently
and there have been no reports
of any of them dying or leaving
the island."
Stragglers On Guam
Police officials on Guam said
three Japanese stragglers were
lcported in the rugged south
eastern section of the island
several months ago and were be
lieved to be living in the dense
jungle and "remote valleys of
Guam.
Heron said there was no way
of knowing whether the Babel-
thaup stragglers were from the
Japanese army or one of the
labor battalions recruited .in
Korea and Okinawa.
Only two islands in the Palau
group were occupied during the
war Peleiiu and adjoining An
guar, the phosphate island. Armj'
troops captured the 3.5 square
mile island of Anguar and the
Marines took Peleiiu after a
bitter fight and heavy casualties.
The rest of the Palaus, includ
ing the islands of Koror and Ba
belthaup, were by-passed and
the Japanese occupation forces
were supposedly all removed by
American naval foraes at the
end of World War II.
Heron said the stragglers
probably deserted from the Jap
anese army and have now fused
themselves so completely with
the natives that it would be ex
tremely difficult to track them
down.
Travel Freely
A police official on Guam
said any of the three Japanese
still believed to be on the island
could easily travel about with
out being detected.
"They not only can move
about freely," he said, "but they
undoubtedly do."
Heron explained that no at
tempts were being made to cap
ture the stragglers on Babel
thaup. "They never give anyone any
trouble," he said, "and it would
be impossible to smoke them
out of the hills and jungles on
Eabelthaup unless we had hund
reds of men to do the job.
'"From what we have been
able to find out," he continued.
"the men seem content to live
in the jungle. They should
know after 10 years that the
war is over, ' but then maybe
they never got the word."
Vancouver Man Shot
On Portland Street
Portland (U.R) A Van
couver, Wash., man was in criti
cal condition from a gunshot
wound in a hospital here- today
after being shot on a Portland
street Saturday . night.
J. D. Hammick, 33, of Van

let apparently fired by Willie

-Hating Wife
To Check
Return To
Chicago (U.R) Strike-hat
ing Mrs. Esther Quigley, suspic
ious to the last, said she would
go to her husband's plant today
and see if he really deserves to
be taken back off the street.
The strike at the Harrison
Sheet Steel Co., which prompted
Mrs. Quigley to lock her hus
band, Andrew, out of their apart
ment, was over.
But Mrs. Quigley, much as she
loves Andrew, wanted to make
sure that he's back on the job.
"I don't trust those union
leaders," the 35-year-old house
wife said. "The union leaders
ought to be women."
If union leader Quigley is
back at work, his wife said he
can return to her arms and his
apartment.
- If not, she implied Andrew
can get lost.
Even his return won't mean
Andrew's favorite dishes on the
dinner table tonight, she said. .
"He can make himself a sand
wich," Mrs. Quigley said. "The
icebox is empty." .
That empty icebox and the
lack of a weekly paycheck com
bined to break up the Quigley
loVe nest.
