CWT),
I An English language Japanese
broadeast directed to MacArthur
and monitored by FCC said It was
“Impossible to arrange for the
flight of our representative on
Aug. |7 due to the scarcity of
time." The broadcast expressed
"great embarrassment" and said
the flight would take place as soon
as possible. It also said that the
description of the type of plane to
be used, as specified by MacAr-
thur, was not clear to them.!
A Japanese broadcast directed
!•» MacArthur’* headquarters said
that Emperor llirohlto Issued
his official cease-fire order to"
Japanese forces at 4 p. m. (2 a.
m. C’.W.T.I, and is sending
members of the imperial fam-
ily to the fighting fronts to see
that the order Is enforced.
It said the order should be re-
ceived by forces in Japan within
48 hours, by forces in China, Man-
churia, Korea and southern regi-
ons, except Bougainville, New
Guinea and the Philippines, with-
in six day*; Bougainville in eight
days; New Guinea and Philippines
12 days.
The message said, however, that
it was "difficult to foresee” when
an order would reach all the front
line fighting units.
The Okinawa statement said that
the Japanese delegates, would
transfer to an American plane at
Ie Shima and then fly south di-
rectly to Manila
The Okinawa announcement said
the delegation was expected to re-
turn to Japan with t“e surrender
terms for Emperor Hirohito, the
Japanese government and the im-
perial general staff Friday or Sat-
urday.
The date and scene of the formal
signing of the terms was not an-
nounced. A Guam announcement
hinted that the ceremony might

peror apparently hoped
would satliry the allies.
The official Japanese agency
Dome! said the premier-designs-
ate was expected to complete by
tonight a full cabinet, replacing
Premier Kantaro Suxukl’s gov-
ernment which resigned yesterday.
II was the first time In Jap-
an's history that a member of
the Imperial family has been
commanded to head the govern
ment.
Domei said the prlnee establish-
ed his "cabinet organization head-
quarters' at 3 25 p. m, in a de*
tuched palace in Tokyo.
Hirohito “personally took the
decision’’ without consulting the
"senior statesmen" when he se-
lected Higashi-Kuni to succeed
Suzuki,* the Japanese broadcast
said.
Domei added such an unsital
step "indicated that his majesty
regards the present situation as
one of unprecedented importance
in our national history."
The dispatch said that former
Premier prince Fumininro Kon-
oye; Suzuki's agriculture, and
commerce minister Tadaatsu Jshi-
gcro, and transportation minister
Naoto Kobiyama. as well as vice-
minister for war Lt. Gen. Tadaichi
Kakamatsu had visited the
prince's headquarters and "are
believed to have agreed to join the
new cabinet."
Another broadcast reported that
two other Suzuki cabinet mem-
bers, navy minister Adm. Mit-
sumasa Yonai and chief of the
legislative bureau Chokuvo Mur-
ase, had visited Higashi-Kuni and
were "believed to have, been ap-
pointed members of the new cab-

Higashi-Kuni probably was
chosen by Hirohito because the
emperor felt that his royal blood

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1C.—«
The armed forces tackled their
huge demobilization problem today
with plans to release about 8,000,000
uniformed men and women within
the next 18 months.
The army, navy, marines and
roast guard made public demobili-
zation schedules aimed at reduc-
ing the biggest military force in
til* nation's history perhaps twice
as fast as it was assembled.
Priority, so far ns transportation
and military requirements permit,
will go to men and women with
records of service in war zones.
Here's the picture presented by
the services;
Army hopes to discharge 8,006,-
000 personnel in the next 12 months
under the point system inaugurated
three months ago, President Tru-
man thinks It might reach 5,500,000
in 18 months.
Navy plans to release 1,500,000
fo 2,500,000 men and women with-
in 18 months tinder a point system
somewhat similar to the army's.
Marines will make discharges
under a point system identical to
the army's, including the "critical"
score of 85. No estimates on the
number eligible for release,
Coast Guard will be demobilized
under the navy's point system but
no figure set on the rate of dis-
charges to be expected.
The army-navy plans for releas-
ing up to 8,000,000 members does
not mean that the strength of the
armed forces, now estimated at
11,800,000, will be reduced to 3,-
800,000 within 18 months.
Army inductions alone will pro-
ceed at the rale of 50,000 a month
unless congress steps in and
changes the draft law The navy
said that Its continued use of in-
ductees will depend upon "national
policy" on keeping the selective
service program.

Floyd H, Ward and Roy Fulker-

of Goose Creek, have become pro-
fessional fishermen, losing their
amateur status. They cuught a
seven and a half pound red fish'
without baiting a hook.
They were setting a trot line in
Crystal Bay near Ward's bayshore
lot late yesterday and had three
hooks fastened to the line. This
big red fish came along, got en-
tangled in the three hooks, two in
his mouth and one in his tail.
Ward and , Fulkerson stopped,

"It would be much to our good

In another broadcast, Tokyo said
the evacuation of Japanese- city
residents to the country will be

defense" will be suspended immedi-
ately.
Tokyo said that before War Min-
ister Korechika Anami committed

poem" expressing his "firm belief
in the immortality of, the divine
land," and begged Hirohito’s for-
giveness "for being unable to fully

to the throne."

effort to look behind the scenes

of Pearl Harbor disaster of Dec.
7. 1941.

Military leaders explained they
could not detach from active serv-
ice the officers who would have
to testify The public recognized
that explanation as valid. But the
other side of the story, in time
of peace, is that Maj. Gen Walter
