working behind the scenes and not announcing on the radio, At that time
Radio Tokyo was directly controlled by the Information Bureau of the Japanese
Cabinet, and COUSENS was transferred to the Information Board, although he
remained a prisoner of war.
' In this status couszrs resided at the Dai Ichi Hotel in
civilian clothes and without guard, but was checked occasionally through the
Shhmbashi Police Station.
Captain~WALLACE E. Ines, aka use Ince, U. s. Army, was
recommended about a month after COUEEHS in the sane manner, from the
Philippines, as was a Filipino officer named KOREAN REYES. Both were flown
to Tokyo. They neze selected because of prior experience in radio broad-
casting in nanila. They were both transferred to the Infornation Board an
lived at the Dui Ichi Hotel, all three men receiving a salary of 250 yen per
month. In addition, their hotel charges were paid. ihe Dai Ichi Hotel is
the newest hotel in Tokyo and subsequently became the field grade officers
quarters for the U. S. Arm. Neither IBCE nor REYES raised as big an
objection to participating in the work as did COUSEHS.
Upon the order of his intenent officer, TSUNEISHI at a
meeting of the Kaigai Hoso Iinkai Committee on broadcasting against foreign
countries} suggested that a new program he directed to the U. Se Army in the
South Seas, Members of the committee consisted of representatives from the
Foreign Affairs hinistry, the Information Board, Navy and Army, TSUNEISHI
being representative of the.latter,
Radio Tokyo personnel asked the prisoners of war to
select a name_for the program. The name "Zero Hour" was selected by COUSENS,
IKCE and REYES, and commenced in about Harch 1943, He does not know'how
TOGUEI was selected. He does not speak English, but visited the program
four or five times ior encouragement. He did not order recordings made; he
never saw any records, and, as fer as he knows, the Japanese Army did not
require transcriptions. Records, however, were made at Camp Surugedai, a
prisoner of war camp.
Scripts for the broadcast over Radio Tokyo were made and
the original and five copies were distributed as follonszl The original and
last copy were retained at Radio Tokyo, and one copy each sent to the Arm
General Staff, Foreign Affairs Office, Information Bureau, Navy and Communi-
cations Ministryy Translation of these programs into Japanese were the only
ones that reached TSUhEISHI's desk. He paid no attention to these scripts in
the early part of the program, but in the latter part of 1944 when the
program was criticized because of loose supervision he asked for translations

prior to broadcasting; Previously the scripts were delivered to him after
the broadcasts had been made.
ISUIEISITI was transferred from his position in the 2nd
Bureau to Shikoku, Japan, in April 1945, and was not in Tokyo on VJ Day. He
believes that all bmadcastingj; records were burned upon surre-nder, as all
Government or_'-arizations burned their records at the end of the war. I1-
should be rot:-d that the '-Tar 1-_Tinistry Building was entirely cleaned out by
the American forces for me as the International Tribunal, and the Navy
buildings were burned by the Armff Air Forces. 92
Ismrlssl said em, Radio Tokyo was short of mds roi-
foreign work and could not obtain suite:-le announcers. _ He does not know
exactly how TOG-URI was chosen, but believes it was by chance. He had talked
with TOGURI and after she joined the "Zero Hour" he dined her on three or
four occasions for encouragement, for he as an Army officer saw the effect
on the American side and appreciated her efforts. The name of TOKYO ROSE was
popular, and she had received many praises from the Japanese. 'IC>GUPI did
not dislike her work in all probability, and enjoyedbeirlg highly praised and
talked about. TOG-UBJI never mentioned her ixierican citizenship to him, and
he personally did not know she was an Arnerican citizen until June 21, 1946.

MTSUSHIO's duties were to check the scripts and super-
vise the program. REYES was used to coach announcers in diction and pronun-
ciation, to check and correct grammar in commentaries and scripts, and also
did some rewriting, The news announcers were all Japanese, REYES was a
radio enthusiast and wanted to do radio work regardless of for nhon.
HITSUSHIO did not know REYES attitude toward Japan, but REYES never tried to
injure the program. '
REYES lived with OOUSENS and INCE at the Dai Ichi Hotel,
and these three men were under no supervision in their private lives; REYES
was released as a prisoner of war subsequent to puppet Philippine indepen-
dence, ad then stayed at the Sano Hotel and was considered a friendly
national after the Philippine Independence Day. .

the "Zero Hour" began and worked coaching announcers, etc, GOUSENS appeared
at Radio Tokyo under the same circumstances,
TOGURI was in the Business Section, Overseas Division,
as a monitor who knew-English shorthand. At the same time she was working
part-time for the Foreign Office and for the Domei News Agency. COUSEES made
the suggestion to him that TOGURI would be a good person to hare on the
"Zero Hour". COUSEIS knew the program needed a female voice and wanted
TOGURI. COUSEKS told him that TGURI had the quality of voice needed as he
had already tested her. He hired TOGURI and had her transferred from the
Businss Beparteent. MITSUSHIG claims that TOGURI knew the purpose of the
program, having been told by COUSENS¢
He told her it was a daily program to be beamed to Ameri-
can fighting forces in the South Pacific, She was to write the scripts and
to broadcast six days a week, He told her the scripts were to be O.K.'d by
him and were also to have the approval of the Imperial Japanese Army. He 92
told her that the program's objective was to arouse nostalgia and homesick-
ness, and to do anything to make American soldiers in the tropics feel like
going home, Her part use languid music and chit-chat to accentuate the
sentimental side of the program. He told TOGUHI that music of this type was
banned among U. S. fighting men, VITSUSHIO having been BO informed by the
Imperial Japanese Army; In view of this report, he told TDGURI that Radio
Tbkyo would, therefore, draw listeners and that she should keep in mind that

her job was to show how foolish it was to be fighting e I31:
IOGURI interposed no objections to theprogram or to her
part in it. Neither she nor GOUEEITS, B£'i'S or 111$ made any eifort to defeat
the pro_r:ra.m. There was never any indication that these fodr wanted to
nullify the program, although there were rumors. The program was monitored
irregmlarly and only a few recordinqs were made because of the expense
involved, HG-u| but
COUSEKS during part bf the program was at the Suragadai Prison Camp. How-
ever, COUSEI1S"could walk around if he had a Japanese companion, EUGURI

' e Lieutenant Colonel D. B. GOSIETF, Secbnd Australian Jar
Grimes Section, GHQ, SCLP, indicated that in Hay 1946, COUSEIJS had been
broufht to trial in Australia. The Bureau has requested that COUSEIES be
reinterviea-zed and this is presently being done in Australia. _
The original of the following signed statement executed
by CIJUENS, October 25, 1915, is on file with the 441st CIO,Deta_chment, GHQ,
AFPAG, APO 500, San Francisco. _
"T, CHARLES HUGHES OOUSENS, having been_ advised of
my right under law that I need not make any statement and that any
statement I do make may be used in evidence against tree in any pro-
ceeding, either civil or criminal, of my own volition and through no
compulsion make the following statement:
"I was born 26 August 1903 in Poona, India. I am
married and my present civilian address is Number 3 Kiri-c Oswald
y Avenue, Iceman, Sidney, New South Wales. Hy military organization
E as of my last day of active service, 15 February 1942, was the
2/19 Battalion, A.I.F. I hold the rank of Eajor, and my army
aerial number is NI-34932.
i About the middle of 1943, as nearly as I can as
remember, lIOPJ.L~iII FBYES was broadcasting a quarter-hour program in
the evening of modern dance music. He had been ordered to do this
by the Japanese, and the purpose of the program which the Japanese
had in mind was to create a longing for home amongst Allied, and
especially American, listeners in the Pacific. FEYES handled this
_ quite tell, and, in my opinion, kept the nostalgic element down to
a minimum. , .
"About this time there was Bome talk in the English
section at Radio Tokyo about a program being broadcast by some
station in the south--either Saigon, Singapore or Batavia. I heard
it said on a number of occasions that there had been SQ'u8 reference
to this program in American papers. At that time , the only program
addressed to the Pacific anea. was the program conducted by NOI1l',ZAN
REYES. The'only two girls speaking English from Radio Tokyo were

pected of beirg a Hompei aftent in the broadcasting station. One
evening GZCLEE 3~f.1_<_-'C."'J_I!'!, who at that time was M charge of the 92
English. section, came to the room in which IIICE, P331313 and I were
workin.j,. i~.o said that orders had come from Army ueaglquarters to
the eiiect that 311.1115 quarter-nour program was to be expanded. He
told us it was to include news sum that the general ideevrnicn the
envy had in mind was to break do-an morale of particularly .{u?.erican
fighting-_ men ill the Paciiic. He told us that we were assigred to
the job, ani lie apologized but said that as it was an Army order
there was nothing that he, personally, could do about it. We pro-
tested that it was :L'?lp033iblG for us to do the work, but he replied
that as it was an Army order there was no escape from it. ?.'e then
asked if he proposed to put anybody else into the program. He
said that ize would leave that to us. I than asked teat we 1
alone to discuss how best to tackle the job.
- 1"In facing this new situation, we realized that one
thin; was quite safe, and that '..*.:s the tact that any not-"s in the
pro;-ram would be under the control of 1'r:L'E, and that, therefore,
it could be rencierod completely hazrless. His rnethous were to give
each item of news either a Japarxeso or a German dateline thereby
emphasicizlg that it r.-as not to be believed and then taking the
news so fast that few people wiilti seen bother to t and listen.
The problem then remained to defeat the Army's purpose of rur.ning a
program which would make the fighting men in the Pacific homesick.
"REYES was already in the program with his quarter
hour of dance music; IBIJF-, me agreed, should write and broadcast
the news. so that we retained control oi that; and the problem
arose of a third person in the program. None oi the Hiseis who
were bx-oedcasting were suitable either because they were not avail-
able at that t-ice oi night or because we. could not degenc. .19-on them
to sabotage ihe progr:-.n and not to betray what we were dozgw Just
prior to this i:1ci="=-:+::t a new __';"lI'1 had cone to the accounting
section of the bI*:a'.:1C§eti_::g s1--aticn. She was'a California I-Jisei,
and her name was Iiiss IVA XIII-L-~.1I. She had been introduced to us,
and we had all noticed her peculiarly mugm deep voice and her very
vigomus, almst.me1scu1ine, style. I believe, though I cannot
exactly recall the ciicunst-ences, that I was the first to suggest
that liiss IDGURI represented the answer to our problem. '..e ascen-

g.gg1~essive voice, we felt nould definitely pxeclugle any possibility
oi her creatinfj the homesick feeling which the Japanese Army were
trying to foster.v
"I .
"I approached Kiss TUGURI, and after some demur she.
agreed to try the experiment. e left this until the~actual
evening of the first schod led broadcast of what was to be called
the Zero Hour. As far as I can remember, the name, the Zero Hour
was already beinq used by REYES for the ouarter-hour musical program
of dance music,ahich he had been broadcasting. To make quite sure
that the program failed in its intended eflect-I selected the music
and wrote the continuity for hiss ZUGURI to announce. Over a'
period we built up a small library oi records, nearly all by English
composers, which no felt would have a minimum appeal to American
forces in the Pacific. ins program, therefore, consisted of a
group of records introduced by NA iDCI.?_.I, vino too1:'-the name oi
'ABN', as A H N was the abbreviation for announcer on the script.
This was followed by news which was written and broadcast by ILCE-
followed by music--i'o1lo'-'.'ed by what was called Hews i'1'o::1 the Home
}1tnt', which was news oi internal hapoenings in America supplied
and written by one of several or the Hiseis in the English-speaking
section. I zecall that there was some discussion botteen Inch,
HEY£S and myself with regard to this particular section of the
program. As nearly as I can remember I declined to handle it as I
was very fully occupied with news commentaries and invariably had
to write the musical introductions for hiss ZOGURI at the last
minute. I believe, thourh I'm not certain about this, that IIGE, uh
was handling the news side of the program, declined to handle the ,
News from the Hone Front. Ky impression is that he did this
lrough. an um.il_1:'_r.5;:ess to collect news items which might serve
the Japanese purpose. I knzn that on the air he paid particular
attention to these items, using his skill as an announcer to
render them as rearly ineriective as possible. I cannot at this
stage recall whether this 'hens from the Home brunt was a part of
the original Zero Hour or not.
"Liter so-re weeks we were told that the Zero Hour
was causing comment in Anorica. Le got'no details until we rare
sheen a news item tiich, as far as I can recall, was an interview
by a press representative with various mehbers of the armed forces
in the Paciiic. In this news item the girl reterred to was -
credited with statements which quite definitely did not come from
the lZero Hour. This was in eiiher March or April, l9&4. There
was some discussion at the time between INCE, myself, Miss TDUURI
and GEOLGE EAKAHOIO, and I think one or two others, as to whom

credited to the girl by the reporter had not been broadcast by Miss
_ TE-GURI nor to the best oi my knowledge by anybody else from Radio.
"" "Tokyo. I recall that we discussed this peculiar problem at Camp
Bunka, and i;a_jor Cox of the U. S. A:-my Mr Force, who, had been shot
down over Rabaul, told us that he personally, while in New Guinea,
had heard announcements of the sort referred to by the newspaper
reporter. For example, announcements corzmiserating with the troops
and warning then that Japanese planes would be over at such and
such a tiz.-.e. Zlajor CCX was shot down before the Zero Hour even
started, so we had still further reason to believe that in ordering
the Zero Hour from Radio Tokyo, the Army was try:Lng to develop
Banething which had already been operating from some station in
the south.
. "Hy connection with the Zero Hour ended with my
collapse in June, 1944, and what took place in the program during
the last twelve months of the war I am unable to say as I was not
connected with it in any way nor did I ever hear it. Major IECE
left the broadcasting station and ceased to have any connection
with the Zero Hour some weeks before my collapse in June, 1944-

On several occasions she gave us food from her meager rations. =
During the several months that CGUSLLS was ill in e Tokyo hospital
she visited him on a number of occasions although she was warned by
the Japanese not to do so. Sn each of these visits she took him

denouncing theJ;panese for their conduct toward the prisoners of

who have identified themselves to me as Special Agents of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. No threats or prondses have

"In March or April, 1943, the Zero Hour program

purpose of the program was announced by the Japanese to break
down morale among allied troops.

During this period TDGUEI made no statements over

an intelligence or operational nature.
Upon occasion, certain phrases were injected~into
scripts, to which I took exception. I cannot say from positive
knowledge that they were inserted by the Japanese in supervisory
capacities nor can I stste positively that they were or were not

unpopular with Americans, '

TOKYO ROSE and we in the office sometimes called her by that

"1 was born on July 4, 1916 at Los Anneles, Gali-
fornia, of alien parents, JUN and FUHI IIHURO TDGURI, who were born
in the Iamanashi Prefecture, Japan and emigrated to the United
States in 1899 and 1913. I lived in Los Angeles, Calexico and San
Idego, California with my parents and was graduated from the
University of alifornia at lee Angeles in June, 1941 with a degree
of Bachelor of 5cience.
"Hy parents were advised that my mother's sister,
SHIZU HATTORI, residing in Tokyo, Japan, was sick and rented my
mother to visit her, As my mother had been ill for several years
and as I was through school and not employed and for the iuz-ther
reason that I wanted to see Japan my family sent me to care for hers
My father made all the preparations for my trip but be was unable to
get a passport for me. I do not know why he could not and I made no
effort to get one myself. I did get a certificate of identification
from the Immigration Service at 5an Pedro or Eilmdngton, California.
This certificate provided that I should return within six months
from the daie of issue, July 5, 1941.
, II sailed from San Pedro, California on July 5, 1941
on the Arabia Maru' a ship of the Osaka Shosen Keisha line and
arrived in Yokohama, Japan on July 24, 1941. after clearing with
the Japanese authorities, I sent to the hams of my uncle, HAQAJI
HATTORI, 825 Unane Hachi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Japan. I lived with
them until June, 1942, paying them for my room and board until that
expense together with transportation to and from a 1.:.:.-"-iu;= e school
became too expensive, I then moved to Shiba-ku to L-2 near tic
school.
"In August 1941, when I received my residence permit
from the Japanese police, I was instructed by them to go to the
American Consulate and register. I called at the Consulate office
in the American Embassy compound for this purpose; The consular
representative I talked to suggested that I apply for a passport, I

left my birth certificate with him and called pericdically to find
if the passport had been issued until about October, 1941. At that
time they told me that they would advise me when they received word
from Rashington about the Passport. _
"I tzcane nervous aiter hearing oi uié HUL1l»I!Q!-ILTP-_!-i-
KUHUSU talks in Washinton and in the latter p<It of hovenber, 1941,
I called my father in Los Angeles by Long Distance telephone. I
asked him how the situation looked but he could not tell me how
dangerous the situation was. he told me to see as much of Japan as
I could as I had spent the money to come here but if I thought it
dangerous to stay, to come home. A few days later I received a
cable from him telling me to hurry home. I knew that a ship, the
'Thtsuta Harm was sailing the next day, December 2, 1951 and I
went to the American Embassy immediately with my cousin, EIIKO
HATTORI, now deceased, to secure their approval to leave as I had no
passport and as my birth certificate had been sent to the State
Department. I was given a letter statinf I had applied for a pass-
port and that they had my birth certificate. I was also advised to
yo to the school I had teen attendinf, the Japanese Lenguaze and
Gulture 5chool Nichigo Bunka Gakko!, and pet a certificate of
attendance to facilitate my admission to the United States.
At my request, my uncle telephoned the NIK lines for
a ticket and he was advised of the papers I would need, including
clearance papers from the Finance Ministry. Cy uncle called for
this permit which would allow me to take back the remainder of the
money I brourht with me. This would take three or fotr days, and
as the ticket could not be sold nithout the Japanese Governeent
financial clearance, thus I could not get on this ship.
"I continued my studies at the languace school in
Shiba Park, Tohyo, until December, 1942, residing at ianura-cho 4,
Ghome 6, Shiba Park. I worked as a part-time typist for the school
until July, l9&2. Then a student, a Yr. LAKAJJ, who uorked at Domei
Tsushin She, took me there and introduced we to ILH *LEEU, an
Eurasian now Count HUILU. LUTZU gave me a job and I torkgd there
from July, 1942 until December, 1943. Yy duties there were

advising American citizens who wished to return to the Lnited States
to make application at the Swiss Leaation. I made such an applica-
tion at the Legation but as I had only the letter from the
American Embassy and my Certificate of Identification and not a pass-
port, the wiss official told me there was little chance that_I
would be evacuated on the first repatriation ship. In September,
1942, the Swiss Legation sent me a letter telling of a second
repatriation ship. it the legation I was advised that the passage
from Japan to Goa, Portuguese India, would be free but.that passage
to Nw York on the Gripsholm would require about $A25 which I had to
have before departure or when I reached Haw York. I talked the
matter over with my uncle. He did not have the money to give we and
I was afraid my parents would not have the money because of the
evacuation from the eet Coast. I knew I had real estate in Los
Angeles oi tne approximate value of 112000 and that my father had a
grocery and produce store in Les Angeles. I did not feel like askw
ing my parents,*my brother or either of my two sisters to five me
the passage none? because of the evacuation from California. as
uncle, HAIAJI HATTORI, advised no to stay in Japan and not put my
parents to the added expense, I then had no furtner contact with
the Swiss officials for'repatriation or otherwise.
"The day following my decision to stay in Japan, I
called at the $hiba'Ward Police Station and informed them that I
was not going to be repatriated to the United States. They noted
this in their records and infer ed me that I would be treated as a
foreigner; that I would have to have my residence permit validated
every six months and that I could not leave Tokyo winout a
txaxellinq pennit. The police called at irre-rlar intervals inquir-
in; ii I was still an American citizen and su~ satin? that I become
a Japanese citizen. I was never jailed or i1ltreated by toe
Japanese police.
"Many of the Nisei, that is, Aerican-Earn Japanese,
in Japan, were employed either at Domei isushin Eha or Radio Tokyo

another job. I found, through these Nieei, and at the suggestion
of ED KUEDIEHI, a Hisei working at Domei, a typists job in the
business office oi Radio Tokyo. I obtained this job after a. com-
petitive typinsr test, commencing work in Au;-cat, 194.3 at a salary
of 1C0 yen per month. This was in addition to my salary of 136 yen
at Domei. I worked under a Ur. TAKAKO, who was in chazfe of the
business office and typed material for broadcasting over Radio Tokyo
JOAK!, lists of Allied army personnel and the like, in English.
There was no connection between my employment at Radio Tokyo and
Domei. '
In the middle of November, 1943, GEORGE NAKAMO'IU,
IhO is also known to me as GL3F£E HITSUSHIO, the program director at
Radio Tokyo, told me of their plan for an hour_and fifteen minute
program to be beamed at Allied soldiers in the South Seas and asked
me to take a voice test.

to be beamed to Allied soldiers in the South Paciiic. he said he
Iould write the script and that the music would be chosen. I
rould only have to read what was written, that is, the introduction

because he thought I hada Yankee personality. I think he talked over
my selection with NAKAMDTD. I was then taken to a studio and took
8 voice test by reading an old radio script. 00552313 then said I
would do and that he would coach me so I could send a cheerful
voice over the radio. He told me to pretend that I was among Um
boys and speak as if I were talking directly to then. CCUSLKL asked
me if I would like to put the entertainment across and I accepted
the job because I thought

"I remained at the studio and tent over the script
and music with COUSEHS and that evening I made my first broadcast,
This was at 6 p.m. and in the middle of November, 1943. The script
was written by Major COUSENS and the program was called the Zero
Hour. Previous to my appearance the program lasted twenty minutes

but beginning with my first broadcast it became an hour and fifteen
minute program. I do not recall the contents of this broadcast but
I did not feel that I was trying to destroy the morale of Allied
soldiers because of Major 0O1SE3IS' claim that it was entertainment.
"Ma. jor COUSEIIS wrote the scripts for the program and
elected the music until he became ill in the sumer of 19441» He
wrote these in long hand and I typed them, making five carbon copies.
I do not know ifne distribution of the scripts other than that I
turned them over to NAKAMOTO and used the original myself. I
usually destroyed my copy of the script but on occasion I would take
them home. After COUSE2-IS became ill, I wrote the scripts, using
0OUSENS' old scripts as a guide and with the help of NOPZ=hL92i RETJS, a.
prisoner of war whom I understood was a Philippine Amy officer. He
was also the Filipino announcer at the radio station.
"The Zero Hour was broadcast daily except Sunday
from 6:00 p.m. until 7:15 p.m. It was arrazifed as follows:
Frisener oi war messages from five to ten minutes; music introduced
by me for about ten minutes; home-front news for five

me never to think of it as propaganda. However, they never

any broadcast which I would consider had a double meaning. But I
did notof phrases. ' _
"I never appeared on the radio on Sundays and after
the sprine of 1944, I did not appear on the Saturday broadcast of
the Zero Hour. RUTH HAYAKAKA, who once lived in Los Angeles,
accordi to other people at Radio Tbkvo_ appeared on the radio DE ' . .1 Y

When I returned she was a regular member of the Zero Hour program
an remained so until the program vent eff the air in August, 1945,
I neverheard the broadcasts of these woren and was not familiar
with the scripts they used.
"I received no salary increase for mv broadcastinj

of the increase in living costs. Elie raise was general throughout
