 Emperor Must Retain Life
 Despite all the surface lowing and smiling, it will be astonishing if under this veneer there are not a great many Jap irreconcilables trying to figure a way out.
 "In fact, 8 member of the present Japanese cabinet told me there was danger of the Communists and the militarists shaking hands under ground.
 This is the same member of the cabinet who also warned me that the entire bloodless occupation was only by virtue of the imperial will and that if anything were to hap pen to the Emperor it might cause a great change within Japan which would be unfortunate for the in- vader.'
 Views Red Rise UneasiIy
 T have reason to believe that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek views the danger of possible Com munistic troubles in Japan with considerable concern.
 Japan is still the scene of one of the greatest military exploits in history, but General MacArthur's work is far from finished.
 To what extent our army might have to go into action in Japan If riots and civil war break out there or if an attempt were made to overthrow the Emperor without going through the orderly proceed ing of having the people express their will at the ballot box, re- mains to be seen"
 With regard to China, Baillie said, "whther or not we are militarily involved in supporting Generals simo Chiang Kai-Shek's troops against the Communists in north ern China and Manchuria is con- troversial. Certainly Chiang's troops would not be in contact with the Communists at many points if our ships and planes, manned by our men, had not transported them to the scene. Yet General Stratemeyer told me in Shanghai that if any real trouble developed between Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's forces and other Chinese armies, we would pull out. He said we were only nov ing the Generalissimo's troops tc various strategic points for the pur- pose of disarming the Japs.
 Developments Unforeseen
 ''The present developments in Chnia must be rather disappoint- ing to Generalissimo Chiang since he told me during my interview with him in Chungking that he felt more optimistic than ever before about the possibility of ayerting further civil war in China. As a matter of fact, the way he phrased it was, it is so much easier than ever be- fore and he thanked American Ambassador Hurley for his efforts toward bringing about peace within China. But the developments since have not gone in the direction which the Generalissimo hoped. feel sure'
 Regarding the atomic bomb Baillie. who flew over Nagasaki said that from the air the town looked like a real estate develop ment which never got out of the blueprint stage. The streets were all there" he said, but where the buildings formerly stood were just vacant lots,
 The difference between atom bombing and regular bombing in it's result is, of course. that the atom bomb is much quicker and does a cleaner job of 1t. However there are many cities in Japan which have been so thoroughly smashed by the B-29's that 1t would have been useless to drop atomic bombs on them because there was nothing more to knock down"
 Cost Of Field in View
 Baillie visited Pacific bases and United Press bureaus in Japan China, Guam. Honolulu, Kwajalein and Two lima.
 On Two Jima he said, "here wt have magnificent a!rfeld and 5000 graves right at Japan's front door
