There was lots of activity on Saipan this day as some troops had duty ferreting out Japanese straggler troops hidden in the island's jungles. Others had a chance to catch up on normal activities as this official Navy photo shows. Meanwhile, the hot news for stateside newspapers was the announcement that the Commander-in-Chief, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt would seek re-election. Meanwhile all the signs of the impending invasion of Rota and then Guam were in place.
