Allison to Bugher - Arrangements made by Okazaki failed to -
provide facilities required for examination patients.
At Tokyo University
Hospital no official could be found able authcrize access.
At Dai Ichi
Hospital Director National Institute of Health was "uninstructed" and after
telephone call to Ministry Welfare reported latter uninformed regarding Foreign
Office arrangements.
This afternoon Dr. Tszuki called in Dr. Morton, urged
him not to insist on seeing patients who were highly disturbed by confinement
Metropolitan Hospital and alarmed by examinations of any doctors except those
whom they knew.
Even strange Japanese doctors were not welcomed, and this
applied to non-Caucasians on ABCC staff.

Hiroshima.
He and staff would come back to Tokyo whenever their services were
desired.
I sent Okazaki letter at Diet today reciting these facts and concluding
that unless Japanese authorities changed their minds and unless invitations
issued tomorrow to Dr. Morton and staff to conduct whatever examinations
their professional judgment considers necessary they would be returned to
Hiroshima.
