They' Think The War Is

Still On

IT is reported from Honolulu that 21 Japanese on the tiny mid-Pacific island of Antahan, in the northern Marianas, are still holding out. They think the war is still on (and how right they are!) The island is so small and unimportant that the Navy will not risk sending a landing party to take it by force, a Navy spokesman said.

Pamphlets and food have been dropped from planes, and boats off the island have broadcast over loud speakers that World War II is over, but the Japanese, who man machine guns, are not convinced.
