Uncover Japan's
Diamond Cache
Estimated to Be th Greatest
Assortment Ever Seen
In Modem Times.
WASHINGTON.—American occu
pation forces uncovered in Japan a
hoard of hundreds of thousands of
cut diamonds, probably the greatest
assortment ever assembled in mod
ern times.
Government officiais said the Jap
anese government collected the
treasure from the Japanese people
as a war financing measure. Ap
parently the intention was to sell
the gems for foreign exchange and
purchase munitions and raw materi
als.
The gems are valued at between
20 and 25 million dollars. But gem
experts with knowledge of the hoard
said the army undoubtedly was
speaking conservatively.
"They represent the entire dia
mond resources of the whole nation,"
Edward Henderson of Smithsonian
institution said. "This undoubtedly
is a situation unique in history. I
know of no other time when virtual
ly every diamond owned by every
individual in a nation was assembled j
at one place."
Held in Bank Vaults.
The gems now are in vaults of the
Bank of Japan in Tokyo.
Officials here said one box of gems
was located in Tokyo after a Jap
anese reported he knew of a place
"where diamonds are scattered all
over."
U. S. army intelligence then un
covered other hiding places, which
yielded gallons of diamonds, often
in flimsy containers such as shoe
boxes.
The gems were "in a confused
condition, dirty and mixed with
worthless debris," the army said.
Henderson and Dr. William H.
Foshag, curator of minerals at the
Smithsonian, were called to Tokyo
t to classify and appraise the "collec
tion."
"If they had been piled in one
heap, I don't suppose you could have
stretched your arms around the bot
tom of the pile," Henderson said.
G.I.s Kept Bug-Eyed.
It took Henderson and Dr. Foshag,
working with four Japs, five months
to count and classify them.
G.I.s assigned to watch over the
room where the diamonds were kept
were bug-eyed when they saw the
display. Later they were bored by
the monotony of the count.
"If I ever marry a girl, I'll never
give her a diamond," one G.I. said.
"I hate the sight of them."
No famous individual diamonds
turned up, and apparently none from
the Jap crown jewels. The three
heaviest weighed a total of .100
carats. This compares favorably
with 106 carats for the Kohinoor dia
mond of the British crown jewels.
Government officials expect the
diamonds to become reparations for
payment to the Allies who fought 1
Japan.
Old Cathedral Is Falling
Apart; Need Repair Funds I
CHICHESTER, ENGLAND. — the !
lead^ and silver roof of old Chiches- }
ter 'cathedral is "creeping like a |
caterpillar," while the death watch I
beetle ticks away underneath.
Lord Leconfield of Sussex has ap
pealed for $120,000 for urgent re
pairs to the 850-year-old edifice.
The whole of the 200-year-old lead
roof, containing much medieval sil
ver, must be stripped off and re
cast. Its sloughing off has left great
gaps at the top. Essential repairs
also will have to be made to stone
work. Better ventilation will have
to be provided to retard the under
mining of the beetles.
The cathedral was begun in 1088.
It was ravaged by fire in 1114. In
1861 the central tower and spire col
lapsed, but they rose again from
the ruins. Further damage came in
violent gales of 1929-30.
Risky Driving
Next to speed, driving on the
wrong side of the road, which in
cludes improper passing, was the
most frequent driver violation re
ported to the National Safety Coun
cil in 1945.
