AIRMEN HELD
 SECRETLY IN
 PRISON CAMP
103 Allied Pliers Rescued from Unregistered Jap
 Prisoner Depot
(By Associated Press)

American occupation forces have uncovered more evidence of in- human Japanese treatment of pris- oners of war. Rescuers today found 103 Allied airmen who had been imprisoned for three years and had not been permitted to send or re- ceive mail.
 The airmen were found in the in- famous Ofuna Prison Camp near Yokohama. It was an unmarked and unregistered prison camp, the presence of which had not been disclosed to the Allies by the Japs.
 Of the 103 rescued airmen, all were Americans except eight Eng lishmen. Some came from carriers like the Essex, Wasp, Hornet, Frank lin, Lexington, Langley and Shangri La. There were fighter and bomber crews from the Marianas, China and the Aleutians. Some were sur- vivors from Wake Island. And there were two survivors from the de- stroyer Pope two from the sub marine Perch and one from the U. s. New York.

Big Bang, Bang All About
 This Weekend

Primed to start proving and popping with the opening of the hunting season tomorrow, many groups of Juneauites, including sev- eral parties of seryicemen, are plar- ming to go, are going, or have gone up the rivers and into the hills for the holiday weekend.
 Boats and planes are being press ed into service to take care of the outflow as sportsmen prepare for their first postwar season even though guns and ammunition are still listed among the rare things of life.
 Taku River seems to be a most favored hunting area this year. with moose as the quarry. Admiralty Island is also expected to get a working over as nimrods stalk the fleeting deer At elast two groups are planning to use Lake Hassel- borg as base.
 Alaska Game Commission pilot Del F'reimuth this morning reported sighting lots Of deer-but all were mighty high in the hills. Those hunters who bring back trophies next week will have well earned them, he prophesied.

My dear Drew:

MY uedT DTeW.
 T am as willing as a mountain climbing burrow, but for reasons that appear in the timidly of fered pieces herewith, it is liter ally true that I could hardly think of alarmed thing to say. I tried first on Benjamin Frank lin. It seemed to me to be some what labored and my very candid critic, Jane tMrs. Ickes), felt the same way about it. So took an entirely fresh start, again with a result of which I am not at all proud.
 T am sending both efforts to you if only to prove that, even if unavailing, have tried. You may use either or neither. You may even splice them together in the bonds of unholy matrimony. I have no pride of authorship. You are at liberty to cut, rear range or discard altogether-in other words, you can use what you can and can what you can't
 If your subtle purpose was to discourage me from ever becom- ing columnist, you have done better job than I have. I marvel how you can turn out one day.
 Sincerely yours,
 "(Signed) HAROLD.L. ICKES.

T0J0FA(E5 TRIAL WAR
 CRIMINAL

TOKYO, Aug. 31.-Gen. Hideki Tcjo, Japan's Premier for most of the war, is living quietly in retire ment at his home in Tokyo suburb, it was learned today.
 And, as far as the people of Nip pon are concerned, we don't care much for him any more,' said Saijo Hasegawa, chief of the Domei news agency foreign service.
 Some people here think Tojo may commit hara kiri. Others think he won't and is prepared to accept full responsibility as a war criminal.
 We do not attribute any respon- for the defeat to the Emper- or" Hasegawa said.
 "The stigma of losing the war will fall on those men who actually dir ected it. The Americans do not understand that the Emperor's word is our peoples voice." the 42-year- old editor explained.
 That has saved Japan from inter- nal trouble,' he added, and Japan is the only country to come through defeat with no threat of revolt"
 It was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that broke Japan's will to resist, Hasegawa be- lieves.

1894 PRISONERS ARE FREED FROM
 JAp HELL HOLES
Are Being Treated Aboard U. 5. 5. AnCon-Torfure
 Stories Being Told

: ABOARD U. s. s. ANCON, OFF YOKOSUKA, Aug 31 Emaciated and starving, 1000 or more Allied prisoners of war reached this rescue ship today. Some said they had spent months in solitary confine- ment under constant threat or death.
 Thus far, 1,494 prisoners have been freed from seven camps, Many of the gallant survivors of Wake and Bataan were among tner-.
 Everyone rescued was suffering from malnutrition, Navy Comdr. Harold Stassen, former Minnesota Governor, reported, and 30 per cent of them showed serious de- ficiencies."
 Filthy Hell Hole"
 The worst cases were at the Shinigawa Hospital. No, don't call it hospital, call it hell hole. The filth was indescribable.'
 A pr. Gottfried who had been a Navy doctor at Guam had been put to work there with pick and shovel and net allowed to give any pro- fessional aid to fellow prisoners, StaSsen related.
 A few of the prisoners had scar red fingers-evidently the result of Japanese torture.
 One "inquisition center" from which several men were liberated, will not be further identified until after it is fully occupied.
 Hell Hole Hospitap
 At "Hellhole Hospital" one Aus tralian patient had died "A hours before the Americans arrived, and was still unburied. A British de- stroyer provided guard of honor and he was inferred with full mili- tary rites.
 Despite the hazard, prisoners said they always welcomed American bombing raids on Japan.
 Special Classification
 Many B-29 crewmen were among the prisoners and had been beaten severely; airmen, like submarines, were placed in a special" classifi- cation by the captors.
 Conditions improved after Japan's surrender was announced. the pris- oners said. Beatings were less fre- auent, and from plane dropped ra- tions the men got their first real meal in months.

Stand Guard AIonq
 Tan1a River
Patrol Entrance, Exits 10 Nip's CapifdI-Tokyo
 Given Inspection
By Spencer Davis
tAssoci ia ted Press CorrespondcnD

TOKYO, Aug. 31-Japanese po- lice stand an indifferent guard on both banks of the Tama River bridge on the high road to Tokyo, but on the north bank the Elm peror's troops vigilantly patrol the entrance and exits to Nippon s capital.
 A few Americans who unofficially entered the bomb-ravaged city to- day in advance of United States troops feared that the presence of soldiers on the Tokyo side of the bridge might have signified trouble, but such was not the case.
 The Emperor's rescript ordering his people to lay down their arms and accept surrender is being ob- served with the utmost docility by his subjects. Today they accept and treat with courtesy the same Am orleans whose heads they would have dutifully chopped off less than a month ago.
 Sections Ruined
 A paratrooper. three other cor respondents and made certain of this today when we drove into Tokyo alone and unarmed.
 We had an opportunity to ob- serve Tokyo's postwar population from the fire-bombed wilderness of the ruined industrials sections te the virtually intact business areas bordering the moat of the Em- perors palace, and from the lobby of the tasteful Imperial Hotel, bomb scared in only one wing, to scrubby garage where men freshly demobilized from the army and still wearing their soldier caps patched a punctured tire. They then drove us to our stranded vehicle
 Accompanying us was an inter- preter, Tadashi Furuno. Domei News Agency correspondent.
 Questions Answers
 We had been among the first to drive into Yokohama on a search for prisoners of war and civilian internees, but they had been re- moved to other camps within the past 48 hours.
 Furuno chatted pleasantly as we rode.
 What do you Americans think of Gen. MacArthur?" he qderied. He's great soldier" we replied, and asked in return, what do the Japanese [ think of Yamashita?" tJapaneSe m m a Il der i'll the Philippines who is scheduled to surrender Monday0
 Hes a great soldier" Furuno replied unperturbedly
 Then he asked the question to which all Japan is anxiously await ing the answer.
 Will Macarthur be stern?"
 We didn't answer that one.
 On the outskirts of Tokyo we found the streets all neatly swept of rubble but square block after square block was flattened.

BUGS WIN OVER
 CUBS HELPS 10
 EASE CARD WAY
Trio of Vital Series Open in Two Major Ball Cir
 euits Today
By Jack Hand Associated Press Sports Writer)

Three of the most important ser- ies still hanging on the Major League calendar open today as the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cards come to grips for the National League while the American presents two dog fights, featuring Detroit vs. Cleve- land and New York at Washington.
 Anything can happen to the standings before Sunday night when both the Red Birds and Senators could be occupying the top rung.
 Pittsburgh made the Cards task a little easier yesterday by downing Chicago, slicing the Cub lead to four games. Three runs in the sev- enth with the help of triple by Al Gionfrido, a double by Bill Salkeld and a single by Frankie Gustine de- feated reliefer Paul Erickson, Stan Hacks first inning single was the 20o0th hit of his major league career.
 The Cardinals and Cincinnati had played their scheduled game at an earlier date and all other National Leaguers were idle.
 New York was the only contender to gain in the American, by at 7-l rcmp over Boston with Floyd Rev. ems turning in a gaudy one-hit job. Bob Johnson's double with two out in the seventh ruined Bevens' hopes for a no-hitter and shutout.
 Cleveland got away with A tie in Chicago, as Don Ross homered after Dutch Meyer singled in the ninth frame off Orval Grove. It wa tie game because the umpires had to halt play by agreement at the end of the ninth to permit the tribe to hop a rattler for Detroit All other American Leaguers had an off day.
