Continued resistance to the jap
anese in the Philippines is disclosed
by study of japanese broadcasts,
the Office of War Information re-
ported today.
A systematic house to house
search for firearms, radio transmit
ters and printing equipment was
conducted by japanese soldiers in
the northern districts of Greater
Manila on July 10, OWL said.
The japanese announced con-
fiscating such equipment as was
found and offered rewards for in
formation leading to the seizure of
such material.
Reconstruction Obstructed."
On July japanese military au-
thorities prohibited all political So
cieties and assemblies Of a political
nature, announcing that many Fill
pinos were constructing reconstruc-
ton"
No indication has been received
from the short wave, Owl said, that
any of the guerrilla units fighting
in the forests of Luzon, Mindanao
and other islands have accepted the
Japanese appeal to surrender
The appeal was made early in
June in a broadcast which said
Unfortunately some persons are
continuing their useless resistance
against the imperial Japanese forces
Stop war and surrender now"
Hostages Still Held.
The Toxic radio warns that Fill
pino prisoners are still being held as
hostages until the population shows
signs of readiness to collaborate.
Sick and wounded prisoners were re-
leased on a conditional basis in June
but the japanese announced the
others would be freed only when
collaboration became a fact.
A later Manila broadcast reported
"It is too bad that certain elements
are jeopardizing the chances of al
prisoners to be released. The mill.
tary police cannot tolerate this, ane
action will be taken"

of him that he had acquired a
harem of 20 which prob

a young man slipped past the
German guards of Nazi-held Rot

With the aid of a friend, he was

to get his people out of Holland
