Sat, 15 Apr 1944
Food is getting in desperately short supply as American planes and submarines take their toll. Today the Japanese authorities end subsidised rice sales to the public - only special categories like government workers will continue to get this form of help. Embattled Red Cross delegate Rudolf Zindel manages to get the Rosary Hill home exempted from the new scheme - but only until November 15.
The question for everyone now - in town and in the camps - is simple: will the war end before the food runs out?
