When the japanese wireless
transmitter went off the air it was
in the middle of sentence after
transmitting 200 words of the an
nouncement of the desire" to bring
about an end to hostilities.
FCC monitors said the transmits
sion ended:
The Japanese government hope
sincelely that this -"
Domei waited a moment, FEC
monitors said, and then said:
Stand by"
Emperor's Status Main Question.
If the Domei report is borne out
by official communications to the
United States and Allied govern
ments, it means that the third men,
ber of the Tokyo-Berlin Axis has
surrendered three months and one
day after the capitulation of Hitlers
Germany.
1t would mean the end of hostili-
ties that started September l8, 1881,
with Japan's attack in Manchuria,
which was succeeded By the cap
.ture of much of China and culmi-
mated in the attack on Pearl Har-
Dor December Z, 1941.
The main question posed by the
Domei declaration was the condi-
ton with respect to the status of
the Emperor. The Potsdam dec
laration was silent about him, CIV
ing no indication whether the Allies
intended to allow him to continue
in power.
American leaflets addressed to
Japan called on the japanese people
to appeal to Hirohito to end the
war. For many months the Office
of Information refrained particu-
larly from attacks on Hirohito in
its broadcasts to the Pacific.
To support its stand that the En-
peror should stay, Domei cited an
American broadcast by Capt. E. M
Zacharias as saying the japanese
would be free to determine their
own government under the Atlantic
Charter once Allied peace terms
were accepted,
n Japan had rejected the Potsdam
declaration July ~, the day after
it was issued.

Trumon and Top
Advisers Meet,
Await News

The White House announced
today that thus far no official
peace offer from Japan has been
received here and that in its
absence fighting in the Far East
will continue.
Following a Commute conference
among President Truman and the
heads of the State, War and Navy
Departments, Charles G. Ross, presi.
dental press secretary, said at 10:4(
m. that Mr.. Truman, like all oi
us, is simply awaiting developments.
The President was to meet with his
full cabinet in its regular Friday
assembly at pm.
AS the day wore on there still was
no word from the White House or
the State Department that an offer
had been received.
On emerging from the White
House, Secretary of Navy Forrestal
expressed the hope that the Japa-
nese surrender offer broadcast BY
the Tokyo radio was legitimate. He
added that he expected some de.
velopment soon.
Cabinet Advisers Called In.
Meanwhile, Legations of the Swiss
and Swedish governments, through
which the japanese said the peace
offer had been transmitted, had re-
ceived no ofiicial communications
concerning it. Diplomats at the two
missions explained that the offer
probably would reach the United
States through the American En-
bassies in Stockholm and Bern
rather than through them.
Arriving at his ofiice at 8:35 am
about his usual time-the President
Immediately called Secretary OF State
Brynes, Secretary Of War Stimson
and Secretary Forrestal into con-
ference.
Asked the reason for the confer
ence, Mr.. Ross told newspspermen
that naturally they (the cabinet Of
|ficers) were interested In develop
ments."
No Decision on Calling Congress.
In answer to other questions Mr.
Ross said that:
No envoy of q neutral nation had
made an appointment to see the
President.
There has been no cessation OF
hostilities in the Far East 80 far
as I know"
No decision had been reached on
the question of calling Congress
into session when and if Japan sur
renders.
Mr.. Ross added that If a japanese
peace offer is received through Of
fetal channels he assumed that the
President would consult with the
national leaders of Great Britain
Russia and China before taking any
action on it.
Crowd in Lafayette Park.
AS news OF the Japanese peace
offer spread through the Capital
early today the Secret Service roped
of the south sidewalk in front of the
White House. A large crowd as
sembled in Lafayette Park across
the street.
Domei had reported in a broad
cast picked up at San Francisco
that Japan would agree to surrender
If the sovereignty of Emperor Hiro.
hito was not compromised.
When first told Of the report, Eber
Ayres, assistant White House pres.
secretary, said he had no official in
formation whatever.
Mr.. Byrnes pulled up to the White
House shortly before 8 am. and al
most ran to the Presidents Office
He was followed by Mr.. Stimson and
Mr.. Forrestal.

Canadiens, New York Rangers
Will Face Big Tests Tonight
(By the Associated Press


The Montreal Canadiens and
New York Rangers of the National
Hockey League face their big tests
tonight.
The Canadiens, currently snar-
ing first place with the Detroit Red
Wings, meet the Toronto Maple
Leafs, a team they have been able
to beat only once in five starts this
season.
The Rangers meet Boston's
Bruins in the only other league
game and a victory will put them
into a tie with Boston for fourth
place and a playon berth.
Except for inability to beat the
Leafs. the Canadiens would be
leading the loop by a comfortable
margin. The Canucks can beat
the Wings, having taken them
three times with one tie In four
games. But the Leafs have con-
quered the Canadiens three times,
the other two tussles resulting in
a win for Montreal with the other
ending in q tie. The Rangers. af-
ter wallowing in and near the ceI-
lar all season long, have suddenly
come to lii with two victories and
two ties in their last four games.
Tuesdays victory over the Leafs
was their fifth OF the campaign. or
only one less than their entire to-
til last season.

May Number
Came Plays

Columbus, o., Jan. -AP-The
football team that by some hook
or crook stalls away those last
few seconds OF a game seemed to-
day to have become the No. / sub
ject of the National Football
Coaches Association as they got
into the serious part of their first
general meeting since the start OF
the war.
A few Big Ten coaches have talk
ed about having a game consist Of
100 plays, 40 to each period, but
still another suggestion came up
today.
+. G. (Irish) Krieger of Colum.
bus. secretary of the National Col
legiate Athletic Association rules
committee and Charley Bachman,
head coach at Michigan State Col
lege, had this to offer at a session
of the coaches rules committee:
That the second and fourth per
iods be - minutes long each and
that after that a certain number
of plays perhaps siX-be allowed
in each period. The first and third
periods would continue to be the
regular 10 minutes.
The meeting of the Coaches
rules committee and a session of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association executive committee
were the only items on the pro
gram today. The coaches however.
can only recommend to the NCAA
what rules changes they think
should be made.
Otherwise. the first days gath
ering, limited to about a score Of
coaches, was little more than
rumor. Tops among those were
/ whether w. A. (BilD Alexander is
going to retire as head football
coach al Georgia Tech and whether
Carroll Widdoes, who directed Ohio
State to an unbeaten and united
season last fall. may be offered
tn job as head coach at Cornell,
Alexander and Widdoes both said
they had mo comment. Alexand-
er explained however, that he had
brought his assistant Bob Dodd,
with him to get acquainted and
added Il guess | cant keep you
from specializing"
1t generally was reported. too,
that Widdoes would be approach
ed some time during the week as
to whether he would be receptive
of the Cornell post.
To that Widdoes only said:
