American reporters went into Tokyo ahead of the U.S. Army, simply taking a suburban train like thousands of other commuters. (Said an obliging fellow from the Jap Information Bureau: "When young gentlemen wish go Tokyo? Trains every half hour.") They dropped in at Domei, looked over the busy newsroom, were photographed chatting with the editors. A woman guide (born in California) was assigned to escort one group around.
