TOKYO, Sept. t9--Gen. MacAr- thurs headquarters announced to- day it would issue, soon a new and lengthy list of suspected Japanese war criminals, while reliable Japa- nese sources predicted an imminent purge of reactionary elements in the Cabinet of Premier Higashi- Kuni.
 Premier Prince Higashi-K -Kuni himself, in a press conference yes- terday, told Allied correspondents that his government intended to determine responsibility for starting the war and try it's own accused, provided Gen. Macarthur approved. The Prince did not elaborate, how ever, and there was no word from Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters on whether the Japanese would be permitted to punish their own war criminals.
 Nippon Times Suspended

Two other cabinet members without portfolio who may step down at the same time, the sources said, are Lt Gen. Toshishiro Obata. and Taketora Ogata. The latter, who also is a chief cabinet secre- tary, was named by MacArthur on list of members of the Black Dragon Society, but is was under stood American authorities had taken no action against him. in order to give the Japanese Govern ment time to prove it's contention that he was not a member.
 Wide Gap Exists
 The Japanese predicting the cabi- net resignations said wide gap existed between Premier Prince Higashi-Kuni and the three they expected to leave the government.
 They described Higashi- Kuni as personally interested in the gradual Characterization of Japan, both as reform step and in compliance with the wishes of Gen, MacAr- thur. and said Konoye and the others had opposed the Premier's attempts to smooth relations be- tween the Japanese and American Governments.
 Meanwhile, the American Embassy residence got busy suddenly, making preparations for the expected ar- rival today of Mrs. Douglas Mac Arthur.

set to the barrack in the vicinity

fore the messages would have
reached them under the previous
arrangements.
