Saburo Kurusu Dies;
Served Tokyo Here
During Pearl Harbor

/
Saburo Kurusu. the ace Japa.
nese diplomat who was conduct
ing peace negotiations in Wash.
ington when Pearl Harbor wa.
bombed, died in Tokyo today al
the age of So.
Mr.. Kurusu had been i'll since
the end of World War II. wher
he suffered a cerebral hemor.
rhage. Another stroke preceded
his death.
With war raging in Europe
and the Japanese clanking then
armor in the Pacific. American
Japanese peace talks had beer
under way here nine months
when Tokyo sent Mr.. Kurusu tt
assist the Japanese Ambassador
Kichisaburo Nomura.
Mr.. Kurusu arrived talking op-
timistically of peace. Three weeks
later came Pearl Harbor.
With Hull at Time of Attack.
At the very moment the first
bombs fell in the sneak attack
the Ambassador and Mr.. Kurusu
were in the Office of Secretary
of State Cordell Hull. They had
asked for an appointment, for
which they were Is minutes late.
They were allowed to cool their
heels another Is minutes.
Ten minutes later, stung by a
tongue-lashing from Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, they were
gone. They had left a paper for
mally breaking off relations with
the United States.
After the war Mr.. Kurusu
claimed he knew nothing of the
raid plans and that Prime Min
lister TOTO was talking confident
ly OF peace when the special en-
voy left for Washington.
His American wife, the former
Alice Jay Little, whom he mar
ried while assigned to the con-
sulate at Chicago in 1921, also
believed her husband did not
perpetrate a deliberate ruse.
Hull Always Differed.
Mr.. Hull was never convinced
however. Intercepted messages
proved Mr.. Kurusu was aware
the Japs were about to launch
a war if the United States did
not accept final conditions for
peace.
Wrote Mr.. Hull in his memoirs:
"KuruSu seemed the antithesis
OF Nomura. Neither his appear
ance nor his attitude command
ed confidence or respect. 1 felt
from the start that he was
deceitful."
MI. kuruSu was not tried as
a war criminal and in 1852 his
right to hold Office was restored
to him. but he was old and sick
Both of his daughters married
Americans. One of them mar
ried Lieut.. William j. Maddox
of Washington in 1913. Chicago
born, her American citizenship
was revoked because she votec
in the japanese elections Of
1916. Later she claimed duress
and President Truman restored
her citizenship in 1850.
Mr.. KuruSu'S son, Capt. Ma.
koto Kurusu, was killed in ar
air battle over Tokyo in 1945
| Another son survives.

Ayes. Your appeal must be

QUESTION: Is there a relation
ship between soil fertility and the
type of weeds that grow on the
land.
ANSWER: Yes. For example,
soil that is low either in phosphate
lime will usually be covered with
broomstraw. If the land is prop
erly phosphated and lined and
the broomstraw moved so as to
! reduce competition for soil nutri-
ents, white Dutch clover and blue
grass will normally come into pro-
duction without applying any seed
to the land. More than on efertii-
ty factor can be responsible for
this particular weed. Selecting
land on the basis of the weeds
growing on it may or may not
mean that the soil is suitable for
particular crop. A soil test is
your best bet.
