Continued from Page D as war criminal. That, however, was not an official attitude. Chi nese war crimes officials have re- fused to state their official posi- tion concerning the future of the emperor.
 Australia also has made a strong demand for the indictment of Hiro- hito as a war criminal. But the Australian government denied that the demand represented its official position.
 Similar to Italy's Terms
 A similarity was noted; for what ever it was worth, between the pres ent situation and the Italian sur- render. Italy,s royal family was permitted to remain in power to give stability to the regime established after the surrender.
 The British Press association, cau- tioning against the expectation of any immediate formal stand by the Allies, said that the coding and de- coding of the Japanese message in Stockholm or Bern would take some time before it could be submitted formally to the Allied governments.
 At the time of the Japanese broadcast, \the British government had received no official communica- tion from the Swedish or Swiss governments.
 Some influential Britons have fa- vored retaining Hirohito long enough for him to sign the Japanese surrender terms and then deposing him. But commentators emphasized that such a view was not neces- sarily that of the British govern ment.
 Exile Leaders
 The statement in the Potsdam declaration coming closest to the situation said that "there must be eliminated for all time the author ity and influence of those who have deceived and misled the people of Japan into embarking upon world conquest.
 A British foreign office spokes- man noted the significance of Amer ican leaflets urging the Japanese people to ask their emperor to sur- render.
 Nobody would have urged the German people to ask Hitler to surrender" he observed.
 The BEG recorded a Domei News Agency broadcast which said:
 Some quarters stressed that the decision by the Japanese govern ment to accept the peace terms as set forth in the Potsdam proclama- ton under extremely difficult cir cumstances has been due to the august wish of his majesty the em- peror, who was anxious to forward the cause of world peace as well as the welfare of his mlajesty's subjects"

Officials Conducting Inquiries
 Two Women Stricken by Elect
 rie Shocks

c. F. Martin, first selectman of the town of Woodbury, said today that two independent investigations have failed to reveal any defect in the wiring of the shower room of the woodbury town hall, where two women were stricken, appar- ently by electric shock yesterday afternoon.
 The women, Mrs. Benjamin Sel- finger, New Rochelle, N. Y., secre- tary and program director of the Woodbury Farm Work Camp, and Miss Els Boekman, 17, 180 Cabrini Blvd, New York city, a camper, were reported doing well at Water bury hospital this morning.
 Observers voiced the opinion that lightning may have been responsi- ble for the incident. Although no rain was falling in Woodbury at the time, 4:45, 8 severe electrical storm was taking place in Bethle- hem, four miles to the north.
 Exactly what occurred to the two women has not been determined. Hospital authorities reported that neither woman was able yet to give much of an account of the incident.
 According to best report, Mrs Sellinger was taking shower when she was stricken. Miss Boekman may have been stricken when she went to the aid of Mrs. Sellinger who fell unconscious.
 Miss Boekman did not lose con- sciousness immediately, but ran upstairs to summon help before collapsing.

 Tn the papers filed last January the plaintiffs listed t he expendi- lures in excess of appropriations for 1887 at $367,041.65. It was pointed out at that time that records which would show the overdrafts and ex- cesses were in the possession of
