Free Japan
10 Be Goal
OF Leaders
CRISIS MOUNTING
W ar Criminal Suspects
Moved From City To
Island Prison Camp

TOKYO, Oct. 5.-(R- Emperor
Hirohito is expected to appoint to-
morrow a new premier equipped to
obey General MacArthur's DEGREES
for free Japan and to meet the
menace of famine and revolt this
winter.
The fall of Prince Higashi-Kuni's
postsurrender cabinet earlier today
was traced to his inability to shake
loose the bureaucratic letters of the
old order and act in the mounting
crisis.
Two men ranked high in the spec
ulation over the premiership as a
furry of activity that persisted into
the night indicated Hirohito might
already have selected the man for
the helm of his troubled empire.
They were:
Shigeru Yoshida, Jailed by jap
anese police for opposing the war
in its final phases, but recently
Foreign Minister under Higashi-
Kuni.
Former Premier Fumimaro Kon-
oye, who once tried to arrange a
personal meeting with President
Roosevelt, ostensibly to head off
the gathering threat of war be-
tween the United States and Japan.
Macarthur dominated the scene.
Higa shi-Kuni told the Associated
Press the new premier would be
approved by the Supreme Com
mander before being installed, pos
sibly in a day or two.
This plan, the fallen premier
said, was proposed by the Emperor
himself, because he is anxious to
insure full cooperation with the
Americans.
While Japan's politics seethed,
these were other developments:
Carrying their own luggage, 81
of Japan's highest ranking sus-
pected war criminals were trans
ferred from Yokohama prison to
C.nori prison camp near Tokyo
where American prisoners of war
once were held.
