LONDON. — The Duke of

The prince, who is the uni­

said to have asked one of the
students how long he had
been in China. When the stu­
dent said six weeks, the
prince replied,, “If you stay
here much longer, you will go
back with slitty eyes.”

Buttercups
Shibata, who has read 15
Montgomery novels. In Ja­
pan, as elsewhere, most
Anne fans are female. So
what do Mr. Shibata's male
friends think of the passion
that led him halfway around
the world?
“It's a secret that I'm
coming here,” he said. “My
friends wouldn't understand.”
The Buttercups, founded in
1981, are one of two Japan­
ese fan clubs dedicated to
Miss Montgomery. Besides
seeing the musical, the tour­
ing Buttercups visited the
author's birthplace, the
house where she married,
the house fhat inspired the
novel and the three schools
where she taught. On Sun­
day, the mostly Buddhist But­
tercups attended services at
the Protestant church where
Miss Montgomery worship­
ped and visited the cemetery
where she is burried.
Some Buttercups have an
almost biblical devotion to
the text of the novel. Al­
though enthralled with the

play, which has been running
at the annual arts festival
for 22 years, club members
are quick to point out dis­
crepancies. “Anne wore a
brown dress (in a certain
episode of the book), not a
green one,” said one Butter­
cup. “And Matthew should
have a beard,” said another.
In Japan, Buttercups ex­
change letters, participate in
English-language readings of
Miss Montgomery's works
and publish a semi-annual
journal. A recent issue in­
cluded 100 pages of Mont­
gomery-related material, im­
pressions of Prince Edward
Island by visiting Buttercups,
and island's recipes, includ­
ing one for an open-faced
tuna sandwich.
Although tour members
are taken with tne island's
rustic beauty, they quickly
discover that things have
changed since the turn of the
century. “I didn't think there
would be a golf course around
the Green Gables house,”
one said ruefully.

resulting cultural collisions give us
extra creativity and resilience? Didn 't
the ethnic mixture help us at least
slightly in our dealings with other
countries? The Japanese, in con­
trast, have suffered grievously from
their lack of any built-in understand­
ing of foreign cultures. Sitting off on
their own, it is easy for them to view
the rest of the world as merely a
market . . .
“The United States, like the rest of
Western society, has increasingly in
the 20th Century considered it morally
‘right’ to rise above differences of
race, inconvenient and uncomfort­
able as that may sometimes be. Few
Western societies, and few people,
may succeed in so rising — but they
feel guilty when, they fail. The
Japanese do not.”
These worlds deserve study and
thought. Fallows' theory may at this
point be shallow and in need of fur­
ther examination, but I have a feeling
they may hold keys to understanding
some critical problems that continue
to make Japan something of an enig­
ma to the Western world, a precocious
technological and management wi­
zard that in many respects is apallingly insensitive to the rest of the
world.

Open
Sesame!
By DELPHINE HIRASUNA
You've all had duplicate
keys made, right? You go into
a locksmith's shop and say,
“I'd like a set of keys made,
please” and zip, zip, in two
minutes, you have your keys
and your're out the door.
It took me more than a day
and a half tank of gasoline to
get two sets of six keys
made.
The key odyssey started in­
nocently enough. Making
keys for my housesitter and a
friend were among the last
items on my list of things to
do before leaving on a 10-day
trip. As luck would have it, a
coupon arrived in the mail
that very day with an offer of
two free keys. Coupon in hand,
I drove over to collect. Ten
minutes later, I had my dupli­
cates — all except for the
mailbox, which had to be
done by a special locksmith
located by the beach.
I drove to the beach, got my
mailbox key and happily
crossed that chore off my list.
It was so simple.
But the keys didn't work.
The deadbolt lock refused to
budge. The other keys didn't
fit into the keyhole at all.
The shopkeeper offered to
try again, but I demanded my
money back and went else­
where. The second locksmith
ground out my duplicates in
four minutes. I went home,
stuck the keys in the lock —
they didn 't fit. I drove back to
the locksmith. She cursed
the machine, which she said
had been repaired the day be­
fore and tried again.
Back home again, the keys
didn't fit. I went back to the
shop and got another refund.
The fourth locksmith seem­
ed to know his business. I ex­
plained the problem. He pull­
ed out a gauge, measured, re­
measured, ground out the
keys and said confidently,
“These will work for sure.”
They didn't.
He measured again, remea­
sured, explained how my
keys weren't the originals
and may have tiny flaws. He
recalculated, ground, then
buffed the keys and said,
“You should have no trouble
with these.”
I did.
The whole day was shot
and I hadn't written my
speech.
The only other people who
had keys were Mark, who was
out-of-town, and my house­
keeper. I called my house­
keeper. Luckily she was home.
I got back in my car, got her
keys, drove back to the lock­
smith. “If this doesn't work,
you'll have to bring in the
bolt for repair,” he said.
I held my breath as I stuck
the key in the lock. It turned.
It opened. Nine hours and
eight trips to the locksmith
later, it opened!

Tokyo Rose owns store and apartment in Chicago
By Mitchell Smyth

her 100 yen a month, which then was
worth $6.60 U.S.

CHICAGO. — At one time her soft,
honey voice came from thousands of
radios, bringing thoughts of loved
ones to hundreds of thousand men,
far from home, every day.
But today Iva Ikuko Toguri is
silent, certainly as far as the press is
concerned. Efforts to speak to her by
telephone at her Chicago store met a
brick wall.
Iva Toguri doesn't want to talk
about the past, especially of the
years 1942 to '45 when, from a
studio in Tokyo, she beamed a daily
15-minute broadcast to the U.S.,
Canadian and other Allied troops in
the Pacific war theatre.
She called herself “Ann” (short for
announcer) at first, but later ex­
panded this to “Orphan Annie, your
playmate.” But the soldiers, sailors
and airmen on the warships, the air­
craft carriers and’ in the foxholes in
Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal
soon had their own name for her:
Tokyo Rose.

Told to do job
Arrested after the war she told
Allied intelligence officers: “I hope I
will not be considered a traitor. I was
planted in front of a microphone and
told to do the job. In all honesty I got
a big kick out of it but I didn't think I
was doing anything serious.”
The U.S. Army agreed and released
her but she was re-arrested following
an outcry of anti-Japanese hysteria,
sparked, in part, by U.S. radio com­
mentator Walter Winchell.
In 1949 she was convicted of trea­
son and sentenced to 10 years in pri­
son. When she was freed in 1956 she
told how she had been a secretary in
the prison hospital and “got along
well” with the other inmates.
Then it was back to her father's
gift shop in Chicago — the store she
now runs foliowing her father's
death. Somewhere along the way she
divorced her husband, whom she'd
married in Japan during the war and
who was not allowed to enter the
United States.
The U.S. magazine that sought her
out recently quotes a friend as say­
ing: “I've known Iva for about 30
years and in all that time she's never
mentioned her past. Even many people
who've known her for years don't
know she was Tokyo Rose.”

’Model citizen’

Iva Ikuko Toguri of Chicago
CHICAGO. — One of the many “Tokyo Rose” voices
broadcasting daily from Japan during World War II, was Iva
Ikuko Toguri, now living in Chicago. While on a visit to Japan
she was stranded at the outbreak of the war and was forced to
take a job with Radio Japan. After the war, sparked with the
anti-Japanese hysteria of U.S. commentators, such as Walter
Winchell, she was arrested and spent over 6 years in prison.

Toguri, 70, now runs an Oriental
gift shop in Chicago and owns an
apartment building in the city. At the
shop a male who answered the tele­
phone told me: “She won't talk to
the media.. She never does. No, you
needn't bother calling back.”
A U.S. magazine, writing about her
recently, said she's a model citizen
in her community and quoted a
friend as saying: “Quietly she contri­
butes to the Japanese-American
community and gives money to de­
serving students. She has establish­
ed several scholarships but never in
her own name.”
The friend is also quoted as saying:
“She's very proud of this country.
But she' II walk away if someone brings
up Tokyo Rose.”
The last time Iva Toguri spoke into
a microphone was in-1977,.when she
met the media to publicly thank thenpresident Gerald Ford for granting
her a pardon on the charges of trea­
son laid against her after the war —
charges that put her in prison for 614
years.
The pardon was one of the last
acts of Ford's presidency and was
hailed by Toguri's supporters, in and
out of the U.S. Congress, who hold
that she was unfairly made an ex­
ample of in the anti-Japanese-Ameri ­
can hysteria of the war and imme­
diate post-war years.
By pardoning her, Ford opened the
way to Toguri's having her U.S. citizenship reinstated and qualified her
for citizen benefits. Today she re­
ceives $600 a month in U.S. Social
Security.
When she was arrected after the
war, California-born Toguri told U.S.
officials she was amazed that
anyone would believe she had done
her native country wrong. “I didn't
think I was doing anything disloyal,”
she said, and added that if anything
bad was said about America and the
Allies it was other English-language
announcers who said it.
According to her, two other young
women doubled on the program, call­
ed Zero Hour.
And she told how she had got
enmeshed in the Japanese propagan­
da machine. She said she had left
Los Angeles to see a sick aunt in
Japan in July 1941, was stranded in
Tokyo after the attack on Pearl Har­
bor (which brought America into
World War II) and was forced to take
a job with Radio Japan.
It must be said that for the most
part “Tokyo Rose” was not hated by
the servicemen, who genuinely en­
joyed her program of old jukebox
favorites and were able to scoff at
the propaganda between discs.
In fact some soldiers contended
that she helped maintain morale
because they were happy to hear the
U.S. music she played. In one famous
incident a U.S. bomber crew drop­
ped, by parachute, new recordings
for her program.
For her efforts the Japanese paid
