 Crosses

NAINlliN, hub. lo~ di VI tiiS i Army Douglas MacArthur will de- liver surrender terms to the Japa- nese tomorrow in his Manila head quarters close by the hallowed shrines of Bataan and Corregidor.
 He issued instructions to the Nip ponese yesterday to send their sur render envoy to Ie Shima. an island near Okinawa, in green-cross marked Japanese plane.
 From there the envoy. and aides MacArthur ordered to accompany him, will be transported to Manila in American aircraft.
 Earlier, in a note addressed direct to Emperor Hirohito, MacArthur informed the beaten Nipponese he had been designated Supreme Com mander of Allied Forces and em- powered ito arrange directly with Japanese authorities for cessation l of hostilities at the earliest prac- ticable date"
 ] He also gave detailed instruc- items for the official designation of a Tokyo radio etation as the me- dium for further communications l, in English--with his headquarters. ] For Macarthur it is a personal triumph which will have wide spread significance in the face saving" Orient.
 When the Nipponese tossed in the sponge, MacArthnr was poised, as Commander of all Allied Army Forces in tho Pacific, for an On To Tokyo" drive.
 MacArthur ironically chose as the recognition signal for the Japanese Envoy's plane the word 'Bataan"

 The Japanese Cabinet fell. Her last war minister reportedly com mitted hara kiri But Tokyo radio insisted we have lost but this is temporary"
 I Last Bomb Raids
 Orders to cease firing found Russian and Chinese armies still on the move and American warplanes ranging from Superforts to fighters on the way to raise new havoc over Japan. Most of them were halted. winding up the war with series cf raids in which B-29's loosed 6,000 tons of fire bombs and ex- llosiyes on oil refineries, arsenals and industrial towns of southern Honshu Island.
 i Japanese planes continued to fly toward the mighty U. s. Third Fleet on the approaches to Tokyo today, hours after Emperor Hiro- hito. now subservient to General Macarthur. directed his forces to stop fighting At least five of them splashed into the sea by American gunnors under Admiral Halsey's crders to shoot them down in a friendly fashion
 still Shooting
 Admiral Nimitz. in cryptic com- munique today, did not indicate the possible intent of the Japanese planes which continued to approach the fleet. It was possible they were piloted by die-hard members of the Nipponese Kamikaze eSuicide) Corps. Admiral Nimitz asked Gen. Macarthur to tell Tokyo that in self protection American naval forces would have to shoot down any Japanese plane within range of their guns.
 Gen. Korechika Anami, Tokyo said, killed himself to atone for failure" as war minister. Other suicides were predicted in line with the Oriental practice of say ing face. It was even speculated that Hirohito himself might commit hara kiri, or at least abdicate, in favor Of either his eldest son or his brother. both of whom have been extolled this week by the Tokyo press.
