Surrender

boxing ever to precede any surren-
der.
1t was believed here that delays
in the ENJOYS trip to Manila had
been made to allow time for the
Emperor's representatives to con-
fer with continental generals of the
Japanese forces on surrender. They
therefore are expected to carry in
formation on the military attitude
in Manchuria and China.
Greetings to Be Brief.
Gen. MacArhur's headquarters
said Col. Leo H. Dawson, command
ing officer of Nichols Field, would
first enter the emissaries' plane
when it reached Manila, probably
early tonight.
The japanese will then leave the
plane in order of their rank, pro-
ceedlng a short distance to where
Maj. Gen. Charles A. Willoughby
and the remainder of the Allied
party-their names as yet unan-
nounced-will be standing.
After what probably will be brief
greetings, the emissaries will enter
waiting automobiles to be driven
few miles to their small, separate
quarters adjacent to the high-rank-
ing staff residence, the Admiral
Hotel on Dewey boulevard.
1t. Col. Richard B. Powell, execu-
tive press relations officer, said it
had not been finally determined
whether Gen. Macarthur would
meet the Japanese ENJOYS tonight.
Arrangements have remained f1ex-
ible so that the meeting can be
held tonight in event the emissaries
arrive early. Headquarters indi-
Gated, however, that the meeting
between the Allied Supreme Com
mander and the ENJOYS of his de-
feated enemy probably would be
delayed until Monday morning.
Credentials of the ENJOYS will be
examined tonight.
Veterans of Corregidor.
Maj. Gen. Willoughby, who heads
the Allied party designated to greet
the ENJOYS, is veteran of Cor
regidor and is Gen. MacArthurs in
telligence officer Speaking several
languages, including japanese, he
is regarded as one of the best in
formed officers in this war theater
on japanese militarism. His role
in the conferences has not yet been
announced.
Headquarters officers here had no
word of the identity of the ENJOYS.
Col. S. F.. Mashbir, head of the
Allied translator and interpreter
section for Gen. Macarthur, will
present formal introductions be-
tween the Japanese and Gen. Will
loughby's staff. Col. Mashbir, 1924
Indian lane NV, Washington, D. c.,
will also be present as interpreter
during conferences. He was attached
to the American Embassy staff in
Japan from 1920 to 1924 and has
been on Gen. MacArthur's staff
since September, 1912.
The Japanese are not empowered
to agree to terms of surrender. They
will simply be getting their orders
from Gen. Macarthur on what
Japan must do to carry the terms
into effect. The formal articles of
surrender will be signed later.
The Japanese messaged their
plans and itinerary yesterday to
Gen. Macarthur, who had grown
impatient at their delays and had
sent them peremptory note to quit
Sailing and comply with his orders
at once.
Americans Indignant at Attack.
The personnel on lie, in common
with those on Okinawa was burning
with indignation over the second
attack in two days on their recon-.
Nuisance planes over Tokyo.
In the second attack yesterday,
2 big American bombers were set
upon by IA japanese fighters. The
bombers shot down two of them, but
not until one aerial photographer
had been killed and two crewmen
wounded.
IF this is the Japs' idea Of peace,
then I got a few ideas about peace
for them" was the way one aerial
gunner put it.
