(By Associated Press)

Emperor Hirohito accepted this week the resignation of the cab inet which led Japan to defeat, a short time after he had personal ly informed his nation that they were cmpelled to accept the Pots dam unconditional surrender.
 A Domei dispatch indicated that Hirohito had requested the resig- nation of Premier Admiral Suzuki and his cabinet. Today the forma- ton of a new cabinet was an- nounced.
 In Hirohito's broadcast to his people ever the Tokyo radio Tues day, the first broadcast ever made by a Japanese emperor and the first time the people of Japan had heard their emperor's voice. The emperor attributed Japan's defeat to the atomic bomb which he de- scribed as a new and most cruel weapon, the power of which to do damage is incalculable.
 "This is the reason we have ordered the acceptance of the joint declaration of the powers" the en- peror said.
 Following the fall of the war cabinet Japan's minister of war and of the navy committed suicide

GOVERNOR GIVES VIEWS
 ON STATEHOOD lContinued from Page Onel

We in Alaska enjoy it only in part. As long as Alaska remains a Ter ritory We cannot vote for Presi- dent. As long as Alaska remains a Territory We cannot register our will effectively through the. Con- gress of the United States. It seems to me unthinkable that an area so vast, so varied, so import ant both strategieally and as reservoir of national resources should any longer be kept from full lf-government and the right to rule within it's own house, as a member of the family of soverign states of the union.
 But apart from these abstract advantages I know that statehood would mean ] great and steady increase in the prosperity of AL aska. In this connection I desire to call attention to the statement in the Interior Departments an- nouncement that the enabling Act should transfer to the people of Alaska the obligations and respon- abilities of sovereignty on a par ity with the other states of the union. These obligations include providing the facilities which the people require for economic an1 social development. and the finan- cia1 resources to procure and maintain them.'
 This obviously means and must mean that the enabling Act should provide for the transfer to Alaska of substantial portion of the pub lie domain, over 9S per cent of which is now in the hands of the Federal government. It should transfer 10 Alaska the control of our natural resources, the fisher ies, fur and game, minerals and whatever else in the states is pro- perly a matter for state control rather than Federal With the a. availability to the 49th state of these resources there can be no question of Alaska's ability to maintain itself financially, and 10 develop an abundant and self sustaining economy. Actually, with the additional powers given to the people of Alaska under statehood will come a far greater develop ment of these natural resources than We have had in over three quarters of a century of Federal rule.

Mrs. C. Washington
Dies Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 19.-Mrs,
Charles w. Washington, wife of the
industrial secretary of the Pitts
burgh Urban League and former
Twin City resident, died here to-
night at 1880 p. m. after two
weeks of critical illness.
Mrs. Washington, the former
Johnnie Kelly of Atlanta, underwent
a major operation last Thursday
after three blood transfusions. Her
life had been despaired of for sew
eral days. The Washingtons lived
at 2519 Webster Ave-, this city.
The Washingtons and their
daughter Joan Francis lived in St.
Paul and Minneapolis for several
years. Mr.. Washington was for a
time executive secretary of the
Twin City Urban Leagues. Later he
served in the same capacity with
distinction as the secretary of the
Minneapolis Urban League. There
had been no inkling that Mrs.
Washington was not in good health
according to close friends of the
couple.
The family left Minneapolis in
December, 1913, for Pittsburgh
where Mr.. Washington accepted his
present post.
At press time no funeral de-
tails were available.
