Graves Looked Innocent--
But Buried Were Jap Guns
WITHWITH GENERAL MA'ARTHUR'S ARMY IN THE PHILIPPINES
3---(Delayed)—(UP)---The Americans discovered today
that innocent looking graves reverently and neatly fenced off by
the Japanese were caches of guns and shells
The Americans had been treating the graves respectfully until
a Japanese soldier who surrendered told his captors they should
examine all such mounds Twelve "graves" were opened in an
area where a Japanese spearhead recently had been nipped off
In one grave was a body In the other 11 were war material
The find included three 75 millimeter guns two 37s and more than
1000 rounds of ammunition several combination telephone and
telegraph sets five rolls of field wire and similar material
