AS Cora Overton, finn actress
Margaret Hayes displays dramatic
ability which led 10 earlier movie

blanca Conference.
Other Allies Told Of Note.
Within that 18 hours there was a
welter Of conflicting reports as to
whether the japanese communica-
ton accepting the terms actually
had been sent.
Finally, in midafternoon, Secre-
tary of State Byrnes learned from
American Minister Leland Harrison
in Bern, that the Tokyo message
had arrived. and that it was an
acceptance of the terms of the Pots
dam declaration drawn up by Pres
ident Truman, former Prime Min
ister Churchill and Generalissimc
Chang Kai-shek.
Mr.. Byrnes went to the Pentagon
to talk by telephone with officials
in London, Moscow and Chungking
telling them the contents of the
note. There an agreement was
reached for the 7 o'clock release.
When Mr.. Byrnes returned to the
White House at 6:15 pm, newsmer
and photographers who had main

announced willingness to surrender
