ALL RESISTANCE ENDED
DETACHMENTS IN MANCHURIA
Rec. 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Sept. 4. The last remnants of Japanese resistance in Manchuria ended when socalled roving detachments surrendered to the Red Army. They had been organised for sabotage and espionage in the Soviet rear and consisted of hand-picked thoroughly trained Sumarai troops. Some detachments numbered as many as 4000 and had supplies and ammunition stored for years. Some of these groups, because of wrecked communications, were not aware of Japan's capitulation, and continued to resist for some days. The i "Red Star" says that Japanese staff officers helped to secure their final surrender. Troops of the Chinese 6th Army will fly to Nanking today for the formal surrender of the Japanese forces in the China theatre, scheduled for September 6. Reports from Hanoi state that at least 10 Frenchmen, including two priests, were killed during the Annamite uprisings. When the 7th Fleet forces entered Dairen they found it virtually undamaged and completely under Russian control, reports the Associated Press
