japanese Controls Will
 Be Sfern, According 10
 potsdam Peace Policies

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is - The Japanese let themselves in for stern. and probably long, controls tonight when they accepted the Potsdam surrender terms.
 And although they didn't say so in so many words, they agreed that their emperor will take orders while the Allies haul them back into the ways of peace and destroy their capacity to follow any other path.
 Here are the Potsdam surrender terms, the Japanese August 10 "un- derstanding" that the emperor's powers would not be taken away and the U. s. note of August II setting forth the emperor's status, plus immediate surrender steps.
 W-Terms
 There must be eliminated for all time the authority and influence of those who have deceived and misled the people of Japan into embarking on world conquest, for we insist that new order of peace, security and justice will be impos- sible until irresponsible militarism is driven from the world.
 Until such a new order is es- tablished and until there is con- vincing proof that Japan's war making power is destroyed. points in Japanese territory to be desig- mated by the Allies shall be occu- pied to secure the achievement of the basic objectives we are here setting forth.
 The terms of the Cairo Declara- ton shall be carried out and Japa- nese sovereignty shall be limited to the Islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine.
 Japanese military forces, after being completely disarmed, shall be permitted to return to their homes with the opportunity to lead peace ful and productive lives.
 We do not intend that the Japa- nese shall be enslaved as a race CT destroyed as a nation, but stern justice shall be meted out to all war criminals, including those who have visited cruelties upon our prisoners.
 The Japanese Government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech and re- ligicn and of thought. as well as

JAP CABINET RESIGNATION
 I5 ACCEPTED
(By The Associated Presss

Emperior Hirohito accepted today the resignation of the cabinet which lead Japan to defeat, shortly after personally informing the people that their nation was compelled to sur render to the Allies to escape oblit- eration.
 A Domei dispatch recorded by the FCC indicataed that Hirohito had requested the resignation of Premier Adm. Kantaro Suzuki and his cahi- net. A later English language broadcast by Domei, Japanese news agency. said the Emperor had asked Suzuki to remain at his post pend ing the appointment of new pre- mier."
 Hirohitos announcement, the first radio broadcast ever made by a Japanese Emperior to his subjects, attributed Japan's plight to the in- vention of the atomic bomb, which he described as a new and most cruel weapon. the power of which to do damage is incalcuable."
 This is the reason we have or dered the acceptance of the joint declaration of the powers" the Elm peror declared.
 Hirohito-in the face-saving tra- dition of the apanese-maintain to the end that Japan had been battling only in selfdefense and that she had given up the fight ito strive fer the common prosperity and hap piness of all nations and the we'll being of our subjects"
 The bitter reaction of Japan's militarists to the ignominy of un- conditional surrender. however, was reflected in the immediate suicide of War Minister Gen. Koreichika Anami and a broadcast address by Premier Baron Kantaro Suzuki in which he declared:
 This day has become the day that never, never will be forgotten by the Japanese people"

 Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col. Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON = The Japanese weren't the only ones hit by atomic bombs. When President Truman stepped off the Cruiser Augusta at Newport News last week, he was hit by a veritable domestic atom bomb.
 Waiting for him at the dockside was his old friend and new War Mobilizer, John w. Snyder. Snyder had rushed down from Washington to give Truman an earful about home front problems. He minced no words.
 Snyder in three short weeks as War Mobilizer has found that the entire reconversion picture was being paralyzed by exorbitant Army Navy refusal to reconvert war plants and hoarding of a tre- rnendous number of men in the Army.
 ell told the President how con- gress has been screaming because the Army won't release the few thousand men needed to run the railroads and mines during the winter. He also revealed how all his efforts to get the brass hats to cut back on manpower and pro- curement had met with failure.

WASHINGTON, Aug 15 = The emergency is as great today as when the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor on December T, 1941. and i've face the greatest task we have ever been confronted with" Presi- dent Truman said last night.

 Meantime, the President an- nounced, the Allied armed forces have been ordered to suspend of fensive action"
 And while the world celebrated with unrestrained joy, he ordered a Japanese Government (which once had promised to dictate peace terms in the White House) to stop the war on all fronts.
 Through Secretary of State Byrnes and the Swiss Legation, MT. Truman did the dictating.
 He decreed that the Japanese Government:
 Direct prompt cessation of hostilities by Japanese forces.
 2-Notify Gen, Macarthur of the effective date and hour of cessa- ton and send emissaries to the General to arrange formal sur- render.
 In addition, he announced plans for slashing Army draft calls from 80,000 to 50.O00 a month and fore cast the return of 5,000,000 to s. 500OOO soldiers to civilian life within 12 or IS months.
 AS the great news became known, hundreds of Washingtonians raced to the White House to join hun- dreds already massed around the grounds.
 Call For Truman
 Thousands of spectators who had waited patiently in Lafayette Park across the street from the Execu- tive Mansion began chant: We want Truman" the President ap- peared on the White House steps with Mrs Truman.

Sherwood has, through the year,
been a fighter for race rights. Dur
ing the Birth of a Nation" con-
troversy years ago, he almost
broke up private showing of the
film between the first and second
parts, when he challenged the
speaker defending it, from the
audience. A protest meeting re-
suited, and although it was put
off for few days in the hope pub
lie protest would die down, each
postponed meeting only brought
out an increasingly large number
of people.
AS far as the present day fight
for advancement is concerned,
Sherwood believes that only a con-
sistent and unrelentless battle will
bring American Negroes what they
are seeking.
II think there's enough unity if
we just let the younger people
press forward, while the older peo-
pie get behind them and push
them" Oftentimes the younger
Negroes idea of aggressiveness
doesn't fit in with that held by the
older people, he said.

Mrs. Sherwood stated emphat-
ically some Of the oldsters are
"old fogies" when it comes to the
question of race advancement.
Married for AZ years, the Sher-
woods advise younger married

Marriage is a give-and-take

"You can't always have your way"
"She has hers" Joe interrup pied.
"You see, Joe just doesn't talk
at ALL" his wife explained. When

Joe shuts up. He operates on the
premise that it takes two to make
an argument.
They have lived a full, rich life.
They have travelled all over the
country, and took a trip to Europe

in every state of the forty-eight
except Alabama, North Carolina,

Born in Macon, Georgia, Joe
took a trip back there in 1885. He
was asked to make a speech in

ton: cts been 45 years since I've
been here, and it'll be another 45
years before I come back"
