FIGHTING IN BORNEO
LONDON, August 24,
The Dutch news agency, Aneta, reports that fighting is still going on in the Balik Papan area in spite of Japanese announcements that their troops in Dutch Borneo had accepted the Imperial Rescript ending hostilities. The Japanese fired on Allied planes which were dropping leaflets calling upon the Japanese to surrender in the Sambodja area, where a small number of Dutch troops are assisting Australian patrols.
