Japanese to Build
Monument To Dogs
Abandoned In Antarctic
TOKYO, UP) — Japan’s dog
lovers launched a move to build
a monument to 15 husky dogs
stranded at a deserted Japanese
scientific base in Antar6tica.
The plight of the dogs has
caused a stir among Japanese
animal lovers. They were left be
hind after heavy pack ice pre
vented the Japanese icebreaker
Soya and the U. S. icebreaker
Burton Island from reaching the
base. The scientific team, a* fe
male dog and her eight pups were
flown out.
Two appeals have been sent to
President Eisenhower to dispatch
an icebreaker and plane to try
to save those left behind. But
there was no assurance the dogs,
abandoned two weeks ago, were
still living.

Oki, Marine Dog *•
Hero of Pacific
War, Dead at 15
COSTA, MESA, Calif., (iP)—-Old
age has claimed the life of,,Oid$'
Alsatian shepherd dog credited
with saving the lives of . 151
Marines during the invasion of
Okinawa.
Oki’s master, Bob Harr, was a
first lieutenant and one of a party
of eight assigned to penetrate
Japanese lines and blow up the
command post on Okinawa. The
Japanese closed in on the pat
rol and other units nearby amf
hemmed them in for two days.
Said Harr:
“Maj. Hugh Littlefield wrote a
note to our command post, saying
that if Oki got through ‘give us
two. star shells, one blue and one
white.’ We tied the note to the
dog’s collar and told him to find
Bob Reigenheimer,. one of his
trainers.
“I waited half an hour and had
just about given him up for lost
when a blue star shell went up
over the beach, followed by a
white one, and within 10 minutes
our artillery fiye began pouring
in and we ware rescued.”
Oki went to Washington where
President Truman tied the War
Dog Medal around his neck. He
wore the Bronze Star Medal,
Presidential Unit Citation, Amer
ican Defense Medal, Asiatic-Pac
ific Campaign Medal and the
World War II Victory Medal.
El Toro Marine Base nearby
will send two Marines for the
funeral service to blow taps over
Oki^s grave. *
Oki was 15 when he died.
