MANY JAPS HAVE HATE INHEARTS Pilots Flying Occupation Pictures Reach Hamilton Field Hamilton Field, Calif., Sept. 1 (U.R: Four of the first Amer ican pilots to land in Japan af ter acceptance of the surrender terms were on the last lap of their Japan-to-Washington, D. C. flight tonight, bearing pictures of the initial occupation land ings and the warning that many many Japanese still had murder and treachery in their hearts. The warning to expect only surface submission from many of the Japanese came from a Japanese naval officer in Yoko hama, they reported. They quot ed hirn as saying: "When American forces are allowed to visit Tokyo, they should go in groups of 10 or more and stay together. Other wise, some may be killed and some iust disappear." When they asked him what he thought of Americans, he said: "You have wonderful equip ment but no spirit." Reyes said the reception of the crews nf 16 C-47s which made the first landings on Atsugi air field was like "an old keystone comedy." "We arrived about a half hour earlier than they expected us," he said. "The Japa were at the opposite end of the field. As our planes came down, they piled into staff autos and sped down the field. There were Jap j officers hanging on to the sides j of the cars, clutching doors and : racing to catch cars." j The Japanese helped unload i the American planes, but Lackey I said 'we kept close guard and no Jap ever was allowed to en ter a olane alone " Propellors had been removed from 'he approximately 150 Jap anese planes on Atsugi airfield in compliance with Gen. Mac- Arthur's orders. The American P-40s, presumably captured in China, also were on the field. Among the 150 interpreters ready to greet the Americans was 19-year-old Harold Toaka. born and educated in Portland, Ore. Toaka, who returned to Japan In 1938, was quoted as saying the Japanese had not been in formed of American progress since the U. S. drive through the southwest Pacific. 'They were not even told Manila had been captured," he said. 10 REPAIR VESSELS Portland, Ore., Sept. 1 (U.PJ Police officials today chalked up one death to the S3,000,000-Ore-gon Shipbuilding Corporation fire The body of Carl R.
