ANSWER IS
 RECEIVED
 TO ORDER
0kindwa Report Says En- voys 10 Redth Ie
 Shima Tomorrow

peace envoy to Manila by Fri
 day.
 Gen. MacArthur has granted
 the Japanese an extension of
 time in sending their surrender
 party to Manila. He has also
 promised safe conduct for rep
 rcsentatives of the Japanese
 royal family who will travel to
 the battlcfronts and see that
 Hirohito's surrender orders are
 0beyed.
 Macarthur yesterday demanded that Tokyo order all Japanese troops to cease hostilities and gave instructions for sending a repre- sentative of Emperor Hirohito to Manila to receive surrender terms.
 The Japanese Domei News Agency reported earlier Emperor Hirohito had complied with the Allied Supreme Commanders in structions that imperial troops be instructed to cease fire.
 Headquarters of American forces in the Pacific told correspoisdents at Q D. m. @ a. m, Eastern War TimcD however. that no word had yet been received.
 Causes Much Talk
 The mystery of the prolonged silence caused much talk here as detailed statement on Japan's acceptance of plans for sending a representative to headquarters was expected much earlier.
 Macarthur, obviously impatient as fighting continued in scattered pockets in the northern Luzon mountains, asserted the Japanese had held up their reply for hours.
 (An Okinawa report said the Japanese envoys would reach Ie Shima tomorrow in compliar ce with instructions. but no word was received in Manila of such plans)
 The Tokyo announcement said Emperor Hirohito's order ending hostilities would be transmitted to Macarthur, whose last word from the Japanese was acknowledge ment of his second message at II p. m. last night. Domei added the caution 1t might take "eyen several days" for the order to be relayed to all remote units.
 American commanders on Luzon attempted to inform all Japanese of the surrender and watched the situation closely as indicative of whether Japanese field forces gen. orally would accept the imperial decision to quit.
 May Be At Sea
 Fleet Admiral Nimitz has sen. messages to Gen. Spaatz and It. Gen. Roy Geiger inviting them and their aides to be his guests on his flagship at Japanese surrender ceremonies.
 The invitation implied that Ad- miral Nimitz will be present at the ceremonies for the United States and that the ceremony will take place aboard a warship. apparently a battleship, However. the latest word from President Truman is that Gen Macarthur will announce the signing of the surrender at a point which the Allied Supreme Commander of Japan will desig- nate.
 President Truman said there is no apparens necessity for dividing Japan into occupation zones all though troops from all the Allies will be under MacArthur's com mand. MT. Truman said the sur- render will not be complete until 100000 Japanese lay down their arms.

Dear DisillusiOned DOtty,
Haste makes waste. l am afraid
that your case is just one of many
that will present themselves after
the war is over. YOn should never
have married him if you did not
love him. One can never substitute
sympathy for love. The novelty of
getting married we ars off all
too soon and if the un n
is not b d on mutual I'M
derstanding and devotion, it will
not last. He. too may feel that the
marriage was mistake. Wait until
he returns. at which time you will
be able to decide whether you love
him. The reunion may prove to be
the real introduction. Already you
have exhibited too much haste,
wait until he returns before you
make the final decision.
Dear Amelia,
like your advice and I hope that
you can help me- My husband is
very devoted to his mother and will

has. We live alone and we have no

ture suggest that canning equip
ment be given priority on space in
cupboards and shelves near stove
and sink for the duration of cam
ming season. Other utensils, not
used so much in summer, may be
moved to high shelves or elsewhere
All utensils needed for the canning
job should be kept together for
convenient use. Jars, rubberS and
caps may be lined up on an upper
shelf near the stove; small uten-
sils like spoons, pairing knives and
tongs may be given separate space
In a drawer, or hung on pegs in
the wall; Gamers and kettles may
be moved into a lower cupboard.
Some housewives prefer to locate
their summer canning center in the
laundry. A light, well-ventilated
laundry with table, shelves stove
and good water supply maybe a
more convenient place for regular
day-by-day canning than small
