Two years after Hirohito's rescript ordering the Japanese to cease fighting, upward of 20 Japanese naval men are still holed-up in Guam's northwest and American army authorities said it would take 1T90 marines six months to clear the Japanese from their series of caves hidden by dense undergrowth in a 500 feet cliff. Occasional small calibre shots are head in the area but no American personnel has been hit so far. The Japanese apparently are suffering no serious food or water shortages.
