(International) Japan Military Stragglers Still in West Carolines Koror, Palau, Carolina Islands (U.R) Trust Territory officials estimated today that there are at least seven Japanese military stragglers still in the Western Carolines, and probably more on other islands of the South Paci fic. One Korean member of a Japanese army labor battalion was captured recently by na tives on the neighboring island of Pelcliu. He was amazed to learn of Japan's surrender 10 years ago. District Commissioner Donald Heron said seven Japanese strag glers were known to be on trie adjoining island oi Babaltlxoup two years ago. "We have every reason to be lieve they are still there," Heron said. 'A Palauan woman claimed she saw a Japanese recently, and there has been no reports of any of them dying or leaving the island." Identity Uncertain Police officials on Guam said three Japanese stragglers were reported in the rugged south eastern section of the island sev eral months ago, and are 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 thoup stragglers were from the Japanese army or one of the la bor battalions recruited in Korea and Okinawa. Only two islands in the Palau group were occupied during the war Peleliu and adjoining An guar, the phosphate island. Army troops captured the 3.5 square mile island of Anguar, and the Marines took Peleliu aft er a bitter fight and heavy casualties. The rest of the Palaus, includ ing the islands of Koror and Ba belthouo. were by-passed, and the Japanese occupation forces were supposedly all removed by American Naval forces at the end of World War II. Qeron said the stragglers prob ably deserted from the Japanese Army and have now fused them selves so completely with the natives that it would be extreme ly difficult to track them down. 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," re said, "but they undoubtedly do." Heron explained that no at tempts were being made to cap ture the stragglers , on Ba-belthoup. "They have never given any one any trouble," he said, "and it would be impossible to smoke them out of the hills and jungles on Babelthoup unless we had hundreds of men to do the job. "From what we have been able to find out, 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."

Grease Found Cause Of Cattle Disease Ithaca, N.Y. (U.R) A mys terious sickness among cattle herds in Israel has been solved by a Cornell University profes sor. Dr. Peter Olafson of the Uni versity's veterinary college, went to Israel under the Point Four program at the request of the government to study the myster ious ailment. He found that most of the cas es occurred on farms which were highly mechanized. The cattle, it was discovered, were licking grease from the machines. The grease contained a chlorinated napthalene, used in warm clim ates where machinery must work at higher temperatures and pres sures.

Some 50 children from Med ford schools collected the money instead of the usual "trick or treat." The number of youngsters par ticipating in the program was only a fraction of the 1,300 ex pected. Treats for that number had been prepared by Medford men's service clubs. Approximately 1,000 young sters last year took part in a clothing collection, sponsored by Camp Fire Girls, to aid Korea. Members of this year's com mittee to aid UNICEF were Mrs. W. I. Luman, the Rev. Thomas McCamant, Mrs. Lloyd Roberts, and Mrs. James Rowan. Watch Found After 35 Years Still Runs Salanas, Calif. OJ.R) Some say that time never stands still, but it did so here 35 years worth. A hunter recently returned to Mrs. Olga M. Fenchel, widow of ! a former ranch worker, the heavy, inscribed gold watch lost by her husband, Raymond, three and a half decades before while battling a fire in dense weeds near here. The sturdy, old-fashioned time piece is still in good" shape, de spite a few minor dents and scratches put on its casing by the hooves of passing cattle. Fenchel spent a good part of his later life looking for the watch, passed on to ohim by his immigrant father, but always failed to turn it up. Mrs. Fenchel gave thanks to the finder and said she now in tends to continue the family tra dition by giving the watch to her 13-year-old son to wear on his Sunday outfit.

(International) U.S. Made Airplanes Dominate Airlanes Washington (U.R) American-built-airliners dominate the com mercial airlanes of the free world. Even in Britain, the lead ing competitor for the world air craft market, more than 20 per cent of the big airliners oper ated are U.S.-made. Planes, official publication of the Aircraft Industries Associa tion, said a survey showed that over 90 per cent of the planes flown by airlines of 39 nations were made in the U.S. The survey also said that in 26 other countries more than half of all commercial airliners in use were built in this coun try, making a otal of 65 nations favoring American planes. Of course, no account is taken in the survey of aircraft operating behind the Iron Curtain. Planes says that the chances are at least 10 to 1 that the ave rage traveller would fly entirely in airliners made in this country on an air trip around the world.
