jap War Lords Shout
'Banzai' in Going to
Death on Gallows
ly the Associated Press
TOKYO, Dec. 23.—Hideki Tojo
and three of his six war-maker
companions gave lusty “Banzai”
shouts before they were hanged
in Sugamo Prison today.
The last act of defiance by the
four of the seven old condemned
men came in the little Buddhist
temple near the death house, Shinso
Hanayama, the priest who attended
them, said.
The Banzai cry—the traditional
Japanese cheer which translates
into “ten thousand years’’—featured
the last charges of many Japanese
soldiers in World War II. Tojo and
his companions also shouted for a
greater Nippon before going to the
gallows, the priest said.
Tojo Gets Weak Wine, No Sake.
Tojo, whose military clique plotted
and ordered the Pearl Harbor attack
and plunged half the world into its
greatest war, asked for a drink of
sake before he went to his death.
But he had to be content with a
glass of weak w-ine, the priest said.
The priest described Tojo and
the other three of the first four
hanged shortly after midnight as
almost jaunty.
Tojo, said the priest, left a mes
sage for the world which he was
forbidden by occupation authorities
to make public.
The former Premier also left a
poem which the priest translated
‘ roughly:
“It is goodbye
“Over the mountains I go today
“To the bosom of Buddha
“So happy am I.”
All Drink Heartily.
All seven of the Japanese war
leaders grasped wine glasses in their
handcuffed hands and drank heart
ily before marching to the gallows,!
the priest said in a press conference
after the executions.
Gen. Seisjiro Itagaki, who was
hanged for aggression against
China, told the priest that he
prayed “for the rise and prosperity
of China and Korea.”
Another of the doomed men,
Koki Hirota. 70, the only civilian.:
asked the priest to tell his family
that “I died silently and calmly.”;
Hanayama said Tojo raised his
Buddha rosary in his left hand
above his head in a gesture of
prayer when he was informed in
the office of the Sugamo com
mandant yesterday that he would
die this morning. Then, said the
priest, Tojo mumbled to the com
mandant in English:
“Okay, okay.”
Thanks Prison Officials.
Tojo asked the priest to thank
prison officials for his treatment.
He ordered a last meal of rice, soy
bean soup, broiled fish, coffee, meat
and jam, the priest said.
Hanayama said he had been for
bidden to make public anything
that happened in the prison except
religious subjects.
But the priest revealed that Tojo
had asked him specifically to thank
prison officials for giving him 24
hours notice before his death.
“I thought they might get me sud
denly, like out of bed,” he quoted
Tojo.
As news of the hangings spread
through Japan, temple bells tolled
for world peace in village and town.
Peace prayers were offered by mil- |
lions in Buddhist and Shinto tem
ples The Japanese people Acted on j
the hint of Gen. MacArthur. The
general had expressed the wdsh that
peace prayers be offered the day of
the executions.

KANSAS CITY.—HOME FOR CHRISTMAS—President Truman was greeted by a crowd of well

a.m. and the traps were sprung atj
12:20 a.m.
Tojo was declared dead at 12:10tj
am.
Newsmen were barred by order
of Gen. MacArthur. Official wit
nesses representing Allied nations
whose international tribunal con
demned the seven Japanese were in
vit ed.
There will be no graves for the
seven. The Army cremated them
and scattered their ashes to prevent
enshrinement.
Temnle Scene Described.
The Buddhist priest described the
temple scene with Tojo and the
other three in the first group, thus:
“Tojo. Matsui. Doihara and Muto
came down from the third floor es
corted by guards. I put an incense
burner before each so he could
easily burn his incense with his
handcuffed hands. Then I had
them write their names on pieces!
of paper- with brushes. I offered
them biscuits, but only Matsui
forced one down
“Then they drank w-ine with
obvious relish, then the water that
had been placed before them. I read
four songs out of a hymn book. All
listened with lowered heads. Since
it was not very light and all had
left their glasses behind, they could
not read with me.
“There was still some time so
some one proposed three banzais.
Matsui being the eldest, was chosen
to lead the shouting. All shouted
in unison, following Matsui—three
banzais for the Emperor and Dai
Nippon.
“Then I and the Christian chap
lain and four or five United States
Army officers wrho were present
shook hands with the men about;
to die. i
“It was the first time I had
touched a Class A criminal since
I had been forbidden to approach
them closer than 10 feet by prison
authorities.
Shook Hands With Condemned.
“I and the chaplain led the pro
cession to the death house. The
condemned followed, then the
guards and then the officer of the
day.
“At the doorway to the death
house, I stepped aside and wished
them to ‘go pleasantly.’ Each smll- j
ingly thanked me and we shook
hands. I went back to prepare for;
the second batch, which was much j
the same as the first."
Hanayama did not say whether,
the second group shouted banzais.
After the second group went into
the death house, Hanayama said he j
heard their bodies falling.
Some minutes later, he said, the
bodies were in coffins.
“There wrere no sheets covering
the deceased.” he said. “There was
no disfiguration of their faces.”
Hanayama refused to explain how
he knew this. Buddhist tradition
forbids him to say he saw the face
of a dead man.
The priest said the war criminals
died with “complete lack of worry
and full of happiness.” He added,
“Their attitude was magnificent.” j
More Appeals Planned.
The hanging of the former Japa
nese leaders probably halted only
momentarily a test of international
law.
Attorneys for some of the 19 other
Japanese who were given prison sen
tences ranging from seven years to
life still have further action under
consideration.
They intend to test the right of
victorious nations to try the leaders
of the losing side for any crime other
than leaking the conventional laws
of war.
All but one of the 25 defendants
were convicted of conspiring to wage
aggressive war although the seven
hanged also were found guilty of
atrocities—a violation of the inter
national conventions.
May Go to World Court.
Since there is no international law
against conspiring to wage war, at
least one defense attorney plans to
file an appeal with the World Court.
The attorney is Alfred W. Brooks,
Kansas City, Mo., attorney for
foimer Premier Kuniaki Koiso and
Gen. Jiro Minami, both sentenced
to life imprisonment.
Mr. Brooks said he would take the
action as soon as he can fined a
member nation which will sponsor
the appeal. That is the only way the
issue can get before that court.
Network Will Repeat
'Ragged Cloak' Story
“The Ragged Cloak,” story of the;
Christ Child's first unrecorded mir
acle, which is becoming a radio
Christmas classic, will be repeated
for the fourth time at 10 a.m.
tomorrow on the ABC network.
WMAL is the local outlet for the
"My True Story" program, which
will feature the Christmas drama.
“The Ragged Cloak,” written for
radio by Margaret Sangster, tells
the familiar story of the Nativity,
contrasting the treatment of Mary
and Joseph by the innkeeper* at
Bethlehem with the kindness of the
jcrippled boy who tends the stable.

Statue by Michelangelo
Due Here for Exhibition
A Michelangelo masterpiece of
sculpture, a small “David,” will be
accepted for exhibition at the Na
tional Gallery of Art, Constitution
avenue and Sixth street N.W., at
10:45 a.m. tomorrow.
The statue, the first actually
carved by Michelangelo to be ex
hibited in the United States, will be
ready for display during President
Truman's inauguration week.
Loaned by the Italian government
to the National Gallery for exhibi
tion, the 5-foot statue arrived on
the U. S. S. Grand Canyon at
Norfolk today. It is being brought
here by the Navy. Charles Seymour,
curator of sculpture at the National
Gallery, is supervising its trans
portation.
Aiello

from loss of blood, and Gen. Eichel
berger, Mr. Aiello said, ordered the
Medical Corps to do all possible to
save his life so that he could answer
fo rhis crimes.
Tojo needed fresh blood as well
as plasma.
"We on the general’s staff let it
be known that a pint of blood could
get a soldier a pint of stateside
Bourbon. You remember how tough
it was in those days to get drink
of whisky? Well, we never lacked
for volunteers.’’
Tojo Expresses Regrets.
After emergency transfusions,
when Tojo had revived somewhat,
the fallen warlord addressed Gen.
Eichelberger throughan interpreter,
Mr. Aiello said. "We knew Tojo
could talk excellent English,” Mr.
Aiello added, "but he always refused
to do so.
In Japanese he told the inter
preter to tell the general he W'as
very sorry for all the trouble he had
caused him.
"Gen. Eichelberger replied, ’Do
you mean the trouble you have
caused us for the last four years?”';
Tojo, Mr. Aiello said, refused to
reoly.
The former Premier wras given
every care under sune”vi.?ion of
Army nurses, and ia a few weeks
was strong enough to be removed
to prison.
Present at Ceremnnv.
On another occasion Mr. Aiello
was present w’hen a frock-coated
top-hatted representative of the
former Japanese Foreign Office
called at the hospital to present a
basket of apples to the former
Premier.
"We allowed the presentation
ceremony to go through. The emis
sary bowed many times and deliv- ;
ered a flowery speech. Tojo ac
cepted the rare fruit, but he never j
ate it. After the caller withdrew j
we had the apples destroyed. . . .1
We never knew if those red apples
contained some fatal capsule or
gimmick.”
Newspaper conespondents had
sought out Tojo and interviewed him
the day prior to his attempted sui
cide. Tojo fired the shot the next
day while Army officers waited to
place him under arrest.
Sugiyama Surrendered.
After this fiasco it was decided to
order the top warlords believed
guilty of crimes against humanity
to surrender themselves to Gen.
Eichelberger's headquarters or the
prisoa
One of the first to present himself.
Mr. Aiello recalled, was Field Mar
shal Sugiyama. who on the following
day joined his wife in committing
hara kiri.
Japanese officials then suggested
that Gen. Kenji Doihara, one of two
war criminals to appeal his death
sentence to the Supreme Court, he
appointed in behalf of Sugiyama to
surrender the Japanese Army.
This choice, Mr. Aiello said, was
not acceptable to the American
command because of Doihara's w'ar
record.
Tojo, Doihara and five others
were hanged in Sugamo Prison yes
terday after the Supreme Court re
jected the pleas of Doihara and for
mer Premier Koki Hirota.
Obtained Tojo Souvenir.
The other war criminals surrend
ered according to orders in the first
few weeks of the occupation, Mr.
Aiello said.
Weapons seized at Tojo’s home in
cluded a number of fine Samurai
swords and razor-sharp hara kiri
knives. One of these found its way
into Mr. Aiello's possession as a
souvenir of the long road to Japan.
Mr. Aiello, who has been with The
Star for the last 15 years, went into
the Army after Pearl Harbor. He is
married and has two daughters, 3
and 8 years old.

Soldier Who Gave
Blood for Tojo
Happy He's Dead
By th« Associated P'#s»
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Dec. 23.—The
Army sergeant who gave a blood
transfusion to Hideki Tojo when the
Japanese Premier attempted suicide
three years ago said Tojo’s -hanging;
yesterday made him feel “pretty I
good.”
The former sergeant is John
(Jack) Archinal, 43, now manager,
of a small hotel here.
Tojo tried to kill himself a month;
after Japan’s surrender.
Mr. Archinal volunteered to pro
vide the blood needed to save the!
life of the man who ordered the;
Pearl Harbor attack. Mr. Archinal
explained then:
“I want to see that he gets what's
coming to him and to make him
suffer for making me spend 17
months in New Guinea, Morotai and
the Philippines.”
Says Mr. Archinal now: “It makes
me feel happy that Tojo is dead.”

High School Carolers
Help Trumans Get
Into Holiday Mood
By th« Ajio*ialed Frtti
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Dec. 23.—
The ChristmAs celebration started
early for President Truman.
A Christmas tree, 10-foot tall,
stood today in the parlor of the big
frame house on North Delaware
street where Mr. Truman bustled
about in a holiday mood.
Mrs. Truman and the President’s
daughter, Margaret, had spent three
hours Tuesday night decorating the
tree to have it ready when Mr.
Truman flew in from Washington
yesterday.
It was lit up last night when two
groups of carolers got down to the
business of serenading the White
House family from the sidewalks
bordering the spacious lawn.
The singers were from the William
Chrisman High School and the In
dependence Junior High School.
The President listened from his
study, but made no appearance.
Mrs. Truman and Margaret ap- j
peared on the front porch and waved
at the crowd.
Mr. Truman drove to nearby
Kansas City again today for more:
work in his penthouse quar
ters in the Hotel Muehlebach on
reports and other official papers J
flown to Missouri by courier plane.
In Kansas City the President re
ceived a fill-in on foreign affairs
in a 10-minute telephone conference
with Acting Secretary of State
Lovett.
While the President will keep up
with the usual White House routine,
he will try to relax as much as|
possible.
The President looked forward to a
big dinner Saturday with his family.
There'll be hams and Turkeys and
all the traditional Christmas del
icacies.

'Robbery' Found
Only Row Over
25-Cent Loan
An auto mechanic’* vivid report
of an $86 robbery yesterday back
fired in Municipal Court, when evi
dence was presented that the man
had merely become embroiled in an
argument over a 25-cent loan.
James E. Dent, 44, of the 1700
block of W street S.E., was convicted
by Judge John P. McMahon of fil
ing a false report, although he pro
tested to the bitter end that his re
port was true. He was ordered to
pay a $50 fine or go to jail for 30
days.
Dent told substantially the same
story to the Judge that he had re-j
lated to Detective Sergt. Nunzio
Bonaccorsy at Gallinger Hospital on
December 10, when he was treated;
for a cut over his right eye.
He said that, earlier that night, j
five men jumped at him as he was
crossing the Benning road bridge;
N.E. He said he was dragged into
some bushes, beaten over the head
with a gun and kicked. The men,
he added, made off with $86.
Running down “suspects” named
by the defendant, Sergt. Bonaccorsy
said he soon learned Dent got his
eye cut during a fight with one of,
the “suspects,” who refused to lend1
him 25 cents to "buy a drink.’’
Colonial Airlines Wins
Additional Mail Pay
By the Associated Press
The Civil Aeronautics Board
today awarded Colonial Airlines
$681,000 additional air mail pay for
the period from April 15, 1946, to
April 30, 1948.
The board fixed total mail payj
for certain routes during that
period of $1,999,000, of which $1,318,
000 already had been paid.
At the same time, the board de
cided to continue the rate of
35 cents a plane-mile (each mile
flown) which became effective last
May 1. This amounts to around
$965,000 a year.
The line operates principally be
tween New York and Montreal and
between Washington and Ottawa
and Bermuda.
