The officer, 55-year-old Col. Edward J. Murray of Palo Alto, California, had been in charge of vaults in the Bank of Japan where gold, diamonds and other valuables have been stored dur ing the occupation. In an unusual interview at Fort Mason, Murray said the dazzling collection of jewelry had not come from the bank’s vaults, but added with tight lips: “I’m not telling anybody where they came from. There is a reason.” He talked freely after learning General MacArthur had ordered him placed under technical arrest. “Jewels and precious metals were found an over Japan,” he said. They were hidden and tucked away in warehouses and many other places. Whoever had valu ables just took off with them when they learned we were com ing, and buried them.” He said service personnel had found many valuables. “Just like a big Easter egg hunt?” someone asked. “Well, yes,” the colonel replied.
