Delay In Spreading News In Buraia
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. 4 An official observer at South-east Asia Command Headquarters told Reuter’s correspondent that an unexpected difficulty had arisen in getting surrender news to isolated Japanese forces in Burma due to the reluctance of Japanese envoys from Moulmein to go among their own troops with the notification. The commander of the Japanese forces in Burma asked permission to delay sending further envoys until the result of the present group's activities are known.
The All India radio stated that British forces landing at Penang received a terrific welcome from crowds who lined the waterfront waving flags and yelling and cheering.
