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. Daily Weather Report

Youngsters Collect '
$65.69 for UNICEF
A total of S65.69 was contrib
uted for the United Nations Chil
dren's fund during Halloween
evening, it was announced to
day. 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.

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.
