 General Macarthur will write the end of the war in Tokyo within ten days, he indicated today.
 He informed Tokyo that he would lead Allied land, sea and air forces into Japan soon" to sign formal surrender documents and occupy the enemy's sacred islands.
 Meanwhile an indication that Jap an felt she would have to maintain her armies for purposes of order and public protection came from Tokyo.
 A Tokyo broadcast, monitored by the Associated Press in Manila, ask ed MacArthur to investigate the sit- uation in China where, the Japanese charged, the Chungking government and the Chinese Communists were making separate surrender demands.
 Other Japanese broadcasts 5poke of the possibility of complete in ternal upheavel in Japan proper.
 MacArthur's statement climaxed whirlwind conference between his aides and Emperor Hirohito's sur render emissaries, while Nipponese troops were laying down their arms by the thousands in Manchuria and negotiating field surrenders else- where in war theatres. l The high commander asked Tokyo tc order Nipponcse field command CTS to follow this practice every where He sent the Mikado's dele gates flying home with implicit in- structions as to what the Japanese should do to pave the way for oc- cupying forces.
 Despair in Japan
 Unrest and despair" were re- ported sweeping Japan. Tokyo news papers cautioned that control of the military" would be major problem of Premier Prince Naruhiko Higashi- Kuni.
 Incidents continued to develop. 1 Imperial headquarters reported AL lied forces, possibly Russian, landed in the Kuriles, precipitating fight ing. American planes were fired on i in China
 But from Manila, scene of the major surrender conferences. came a report that Japanese delays stem med from the stunning impact of 1 defeat and atomic bombs and their unfamiliarity with surrender pro- 1 cedure.
 Occupation of Japan MacArthur's aides said 16 shaven- 1 headed surrender emissaries were apparently sincere and providing all 1 the data necessary for complete oc- cupation of Japan without incident.
 They arrived in Manila Sunday and were promptly rushed through series of conferences with General MacArthur's aides. MacArthur hir-- self summed them completely. His Chief of Staff, It. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland headed the American delegation.
 The emissaries. headed by glum- faced It. Gen. Takashiro Kawabe, were told the details of Japans duties under occupation. Tn return they supplies necessary military de- tails, including information about airfields around Tokyo where the occupation will start whenever Mac Arthur gives the word. Deliberations began with precise formality Sunday night, and broke down into rapid-fire business like sessions today with the Japanese working in their shirt sleeves in Manilas muggy heat.
 MacArthur to Tokyo
 Macarthur will appear at the formal surrender in Tokyo, which also probably will be attended by General Wainwright.
 Greatest mass surrenders of Nip- ponese armed forces so far have been in Manchuria. Virtually all Japanese have quit fighting there and 97.000 surrendered yesterday. Quick occupation of all key cities by Soviet forces was forecast.
 Japanese in China were to receive their surrender orders tomorrow Two enemy lieutenant generals on northern Luzon in the Philippines made peace overtures. Negotiations were we'll under way for 2l ,000 Jap anese in the Bougainville area to give up but the Nipponese spokes- man said it would take a month to round up all of the Wewak area of New Guinea.
