A Filipino asked one Pasramis (Indian) to step out of his International Restaurant in Echague last Monday evening, and promptly shot him dead. Speculation as to why ranges from girl trouble, his arrogance, or his political activities. Not all Indians are pro-Japanese by a long shot. One used to have a radio and published a regular underground service. Tipped off, he ditched the radio two weeks before the Japanese picked him up at 0200 one morning. They found a copy of one of his "editions" on his desk, but the smooth-talker convinced them that he had found it outside his door and just picked it up out of curiosity. "Look at me," he said. "Am I not an Indian? Am I not an Oriental? Do you expect me to love those British bastards even now?" He was released — after less than 24 hours.
