...Angeles, the main event-besides the Disneyland tour-was a luncheon at the Music Center attended by 530 of the city's leading lights, including John Wayne, whom Hirohito specifically asked to meet. In Los Angeles, and later in San Francisco and San Diego, the Emperor also met scores of Japanese Americans, whom he praised at one point for "withstanding many difficulties" in the U.S. At week's end the imperial couple flew on to Hawaii, where they planned to spend three days touring and resting before they board their jet this week for the long ride home...
