ception for Shanghai civic leaders.
 Only the English versions of the agreement were signed today. The Chinese and Japanese versions were expected to be signed tomor. row, after which the text of the agreement will be published.
 The Chinese did not announce their representation on the joint committee which will supervise the carrying out of the agreement. Other nations named the follow. ing consuls-general and military
 Japan, consul.d General Kura. matsu Mural and Lieutenant Colonel K. Harada; United States, Consul General Edwin s. Cunning ham and Lieutenant Colonel Wal ter Drysdale, the British, Italian. and French consuls-gsneral and military attaches.
 The agreement was initialled at the British consulate by General Wang Kiang and General Tai-Chi for China, and General Tashiro and Admiral shimada for Japan. The ceremony was witnessed by British Minister Sir Miles Lampson, Amer loan Minister Nelson T. Johnson, and French Minister Henri Widen, who were instrumental in bringing the Chinese and Japanese to terms. Thus the long delayed agree- ment, often threatened by the slow working of the Nanking and Tokio governments due to the distance from Shanghai, and numerous un. toward incidents here finally was signed. Diplomats did not believe there would be any hitch when the agreement was translated into Jap. anese and Chinese, although there was the possibility that interpreta. tions might vary.
 The most serious incident here est Japanese officials by Korean. Later, Japanese marines who in- vaded the American defense sector and attacked Chinese were sent back to their own territory by Amreican troops and an interna- tional incident narrowly averted. Many Japanese and Chinese have been attacked by rowdies or snip CTS.
 The agreement. in five sections, followed the lines already cabled by the United Press Correspondent, 1t provided:
 i--Cessation of hostilities from today.
 2.-The Chinese will retain their present positions.
