TOKYO, Sept. 12.-American oc- cupation authorities tonight pressed the roundup of AT Japanese war leaders and renegade occidentals as a gift of blood from Penn sylvania sergeant probably saved the life of Hideki Tojo, principal archi- tect of the Pearl Harbor assault.
 General MacArthur, extending his list of wanted" men to include seven of the notorious Black Dragon Society's top terrorists, ordered dis solution of that jingoistic secret or ganization, which the Japanese claimed had disbanded more than a month ago.
 While the roundup bag increased, one of the most badly wanted, It, Gen. Masaharu Homma. who say.2- toned the murderous Death March ef Bataan, fled to his islet home eff the northwest coast.
 One of those caught, however was Heinrich Georg Stahmer, German Ambassador held chiefly responsible for bringing Japan into the Rome Berlin Axis.
 Stahmer came to Tokyo in 1940 as special envoy on the Axis deal, was rewarded by being named Hitler's envoy to the Ranking Puppet Gov ernment, and then became Ambas- sador to Tokyo. He was personal assistant to Maxi Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.
 Tojo Rallies
 Tojo, who attempted suicide yes- terday, admittedly to escape trial as the main Japanese war criminal, but who missed his heart with bullet from pistol taken from downed Amsrican flier, rallied strongly to- night after the transfusion of B-type whole blood and injections of peni- cillin.
 Doctors, who had said he had a better-than-e chance to live, de- clared his condition now was very satisfactory. I01o himSeH Was strong enough to thank them land to tell Japanese government rep resentative, T. Suzuki, who visited him at the American Evacuation Hospital in Yokohama, that he ap- preciated the care he was getting.
 General MacArthur's personal physician, Col. Roger Egeberg, South Euclid, Ohio, rushed to Tojo's bed- side to join in the fight for his life. It. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger, Commander of Eighth Army occupa- tion forces, said that the best pos sible nursing care had been ordered, adding, We want the Japanese gov- ernment to know that"

ONE FEATURE OF ATOMIC BOMBING
 GETS REPUTATION
Scientific Investigations Say Area Not Unfit
 for Humans
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
 JAP Science EditOr)

ALAMOGORDO, N. M., Sept. F Secret details of Japanese scien- tific Investigations released here to- day refute enemy radio reports that the atomic bomb area of Hiro- shima had become unfit for human habitation.
 Disclosed by Maj. Gen. Leslie R Groves, head of the atomic bomb project, these reports declared that Il days after the bomb fell Hiro- shima apparently was safe from dangerous rays. The reports said that at any point beneath the impact of the explosion there was less than a tolerance dose of X-rays coming from ground or air
 This amount means, Gen. Groves said, that it is safe for anyone to live in that area permanently without risk.
 The general issued the. Japanese reports in connection with visit to the site of the first atomic bomb explosion, about SO miles north of here. He led a party of 31 writers and photographers, five scientists and a dozen Army of ficers into the bomb crater last Sunday afternoon.
 This was the first public revela- tion of the amazing details of the atomic damage to the ground it. self. The things seen there and the story of X-rays told by in- struments carried into the crater showed definitely why Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not ruined fol human habitation. They showed too why it is improbable that more than a comparatively few persons were injured by atomic rays of any

TCNYO. Thursday, Sept. 13. ---The American hunt for Japa- ncse sword -rattlers sent the Nip ponsse Cabinet into special sSsion today, possibly to cuil from it's ranks men who may face charges as war criminals.
 "A Tokyo radio broadcast leard in San Francisco said Field Marshal Gen. Sugiyama, Commander in Chief of Japan's military forces in the home islands, committed suicide yes terday. Sugiyama, former Chief of the Army General Staff, was Minister of War in the cabinet of Premier Koiso, which suc- cecded General Tojc's govern mont last fall.)
 American officers pressed the search for 47 Japanese war lead CTS and occidentals who may have aided Nippon's military purposes.
 Before calling his cabinet into .scssion today, Premier Higashi- kuni reported General Mac Arthur's war criminal list to Emperor Hirohito.
 Informed sources said the cabinet mfy purge itself of members whc are speculative candidates for trials on war guilt charges.

 Over inferior
 Orient Airway
Atwood Has Development Bd. Ba1king-MaYor
 Parsons Opposed

Conflicting opinion became ap- parent today as to just what stand Alaska should take on the current campaign of Pacific Northwest lead CTS to secure for Seattle the role of air gateway to the Orient.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening revealed here today that Bob Atwood An chorage Times editor, now attending tEe meetings in Seattle, has been authorized by the Alaska Develop ment Board to speak for it on be- half of the New York Chicago through Canada to Anchorage route recommended by CAB examiners in tl-e North Pacific case.
 Almost simultaneously group of Juneau business men was putting it's opposing thoughts on the matter in- to wire to Christy Thomas, Execu- tive Vice President of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. That wire, sicned by Juneau's Mayor Ernest Parsons and already dispatched, reads:
 We challenge the contention that hlaska's best interest would be sery- cd by airplane route Chicago through Canada to Anchorage and Orient, as apparently contended by Atwood, and urge Alaskas future emphatically requires route to i Orient to originate out of Seattle and that such route will benefit all of Alaska from Ketchikan to Nome"
 Gov. Crushing has previously in- dicated his belief that the Territory would profit from the interior route proposed by the CAB examiners to 1 be flown by Northwest A.-lines. The stand or Mayor Parsons and the Juneau business group, however, was today strongly seconded by the Executive Board of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. The Execu- tive Board authorized that the fol- lowing message be sent to MT Thomas of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce:
 The Juneau Chamber of Com merce can find no basis for belief that the premier place long occupied by the Pacific Northwest in trade with the Asiatic countries bordering the North Pacific will henceforth he taken by Chicago and the Midwest section of the United States. On the other hand, we think this Asiatic trade of the postwar era will be a constantly increasing activity as the Asiatic nations improve their econ omic conditions.

by the navy, cleaned and used to
clothe prisoners and our own cas-

On our ship we were up at

ashore only what we could carry
on our backs. When We put on our

In fact our entire regiment came
