                    3 coded letters written by ex-JCP head Nosaka unearthed

                    TOKYO, Japan - Three coded letters written by Sanzo Nosaka, a controversial Japanese Communist Party leader who was later expelled by his party and died seven years ago at age 101, shed light on his underground life in the United States after he sneaked into the country in 1934. The photo shows copies of the letters, translated into German, which were sent by Nosaka from New York to his Comintern handlers in Moscow in 1934 and now preserved at Russia's National Archives. The letters prove that Nosaka did more than produce antiwar propaganda during his four-year stay in the U.S., as generally believed by Japanese historians.
