Japs Turn Up
At Odd Times
On u. S. Isle
Enemy Stragglers Still
Hiding Out on Guam
By StfSgt. Alvin M. Josephy, Jr
MARINE Corps Combat
Correspondent

GUAM Delayed - Although the
starving Jap Stragglers on this
island constitute neither menace
nor a threat today, it is still a sur
prise to come on them without
warming in banana and coconut
groves or to catch them at night
trying to pilfer from a ration dump.
Some Japs still hold on, hiding
successfully in the rugged terrain
beneath steep cliffs. With the de-
velopment of the island and with
the arrival Of Army and Navy
nurses, women correspondents and
visiting Congressional groups, the
continued presence Of japanese on
the island Is annoying.
In Illustration, the following in
cidents occurred recently in various
parts of the island:
JAP AND PRAYER BOOK
A Navy doctor and three hos
pital corpsmen came upon a Jap in
a coconut grove. When the Jap
saw them, he calmly sat down
cross-legged and took out a prayer
book. The doctor motioned that he
would not hurt the Jap. The lat
ter finished praying. Then surren-
dered.
Three Marine officers were wait
ing at a rifle range for a jeep to
come for them. Suddenly they
spied two Japs picking up cigarette
butts near the targets. The Ma
rines had fired all their ammuni-
ton previously at the targets, so
they picked up rocks and chased
the Japs. One Jap escaped, but
they caught the other one after a
hand-to-hand tussle during which
the Jap managed to bite the finger
Of one Marine
SEARCHES HOUSE FOR FOOD
In q native village near an air
field one night q Guamanian
awoke to find Jap searching his
house for food. The native killed
him before he could escape.
Other Japs have been killed or
captured In American camps, and
on main roads constantly travelled
by all sorts Of military vehicles.
They have wandered into demoli-
ton and camouflage classes being
given American troops, and have

Ways Suggested
for Communities
to Aid Veterans

DR.. Charles P. LOOMS head of the
department of sociology and an
thropology at Michigan State COL
lege, points out that great changes
must be taken into consideration by
rural communities in helping their
war veterans to become re-estab-
liShed.
Not only will the veteran have
changed since leaving to join the
service, but also will his community
in many instances, according to DR..
LoomiS. He urges communities to
take steps to coordinate various
programs designed to help the re-
turned veteran, and suggests a sew
en-point program as follows:
- Machinery for getting the
names of all veterans; 2-provision
for a preliminary interview to well
come him and discover his needs;
3 assessment Of job possibilities In
the local community; adaptation
Of welfare and case-working agen-
cies to the needs of the veteran, in
Guiding legal aid and aid for psy-
Concentrates; 5-adaptation of the
school system to the needs of the
veteran; 6-mobilization of medical
and social work facilities for dis
abled veterans; and, 7-provision
for assisting financially and coop

More than half the men in the
armed forces have never completed
high school, almost a third are I'M
der the age of 20, many have never
held jobs as civilians, and most are
in the age group for which there is
the least amount of educational and
recreational facilities available, DR..
