The Japanese are mot suffering
very much from our occupation, u
Maj. Thomas A. Mesereau. who
commanded the first airborne
troops to land in Japan, said here
today.
The 6-foot 4-inch battalion COM
mander of the 18th Airborne Di-
vision, who lives at Bergenfeld, N
j., arrived here yesterday from ia
pan in a C-54 transport plane which
made the trip in the record time of
81 hours Is minutes by way of
Adak, Aleutians and Seattle.
Maj. Mesereau originally was
designated unoficially to bring the
original surrender documents signed
aboard the battleship Missouri. but
he said today another officer from
the War Department would bring
them.
The Japanese are being treated
better than they expected, better
even than the treatment they re-
ceived from their own police" he
said "All of us expected to be
treated coldly when we landed, but
en- route to Yokohama we found the
few people We saw all smiles and
bows. The average person seemed
to be glad the war was over. Some
of them gave us the v for Victory

Mai. Mesereau commanded a bat
talon made up of 6-foot men of the
18th Airborne Division, which was
designated to secure the route be-
tween Atsugi airport, about 20 miles
south of Tokyo, and Gen MacAr-
thurs headquarters at the New
Grand Hotel in Yokohama.
when we landed at the airport
the Japs appeared slightly bewil-
dered, but they kept smiling. Prac-
tically every Jap wore parts of army
uniform, but no armed men, aside
from the japanese police, were in

The trip from Atsugi to Yoko-
hama, which was made in coal
burning japanese trucks, was guard

I'VE found the people well fed. Aft

opinion the Japs were not suffering
very much from our occupation.
But this will tighten up as soon
as we get more troops in.
Maj. Mesereau witnessed the sur
render ceremony aboard the battle
ship Missouri, and described the
japanese delegation as the "sor-
riest-looking characters 1 have ever

Their striped trousers and tail
coats looked moth-eaten," he said
The Japs looked emaciated, and
seemed as if they might keel over

Fig Gets Writ
To Gust Museum
Al Villa Rosa
LitteII Offers Aid
In Any Contest
Of Property Title

Attorneys for Sam Fig, owner of
Villa Rosa, which contains the Chill
dren's Museum, today obtained a
writ OF restitution in Municipal
Court to force museum authorities
to vacate the property.
b The writ probably will be served
tomorrow and the museum stan
given "a hours to vacate. attaches
OF the landlord and tenant branch
Of Municipal Court said.
Miss Matilda Young, director of
the museum, could not be reached
for comment on the latest develop
ment in the long fight for possess
sion OF the museum property. A
museum worker said some of the
exhibits had been packed up" but
that Miss Young still had no place
for them.
The writ OF restitution was granted
at once because the museum already
had been granted an eviction stay
which expired last Saturday, court
authorities said.
Meanwhile, Norman Littell. for
mer assistant United States attor-
ney, who is interested in helping
the museum, said he had offered his
services to the Attorney General If
the Government wishes to file a suit
to contest the legality OF Mr.. Figs
possession of the property.
Mr.. Littell said, should the Gov
ernment win a suit against Mr.. Fig,
the owner would lose much more
than the $500 a month he has said
he was losing through the long de-
lay in getting possession.
Mr.. Fig talks of demolishing
Villa Rosa and says he is losing
$500 a month by delay" Mr.. Lit
tell said. IF 1t should be deter
mined that he does not have title
to Villa Rosa, as I contend, then he
might be liable to the Government
for destroying Government prop
erty.
IF he started constructing an
apartment he might lose that in
vestment, too, and If title Is In the
Government, then he would be
erecting Improvements gratuitously
on Government property, which he
might be unable to recover"
