plane to be used, as specified by Macarthur, was not clear to them.)
 A Japanese broadcast directed to MacArthur's headquarters said that Emperor Hirohito issued his official cease-fire order to Japanese forces at 4 p. m. 6 a. m. EWT). And is sending members of the imperial family to the fighting fronts to see that the order is enforced.
 It said the order should be re- ceived by forces in Japan within 48 hours, by forces in China, Man churia. Korea and southern regions except Bougainville, New Guinea and the Philippines, within six days; Bougainville in 8 days; New Guinea and Philippines 12 days.
 Fighting Goes On
 The message said, however, that 1t was difficult to foresee" when the order would reach all the front line fighting units.
 The Okinawa statements said that the Japanese delegates would trans fer to an American plane at Ie Shima and then fly south directly to Manila.
 (FCC Monitors reported that swantung army headquarters broad cast an appeal to the Soviet Far Eastern army over the Hsinking ra- dio asking them to halt military operations. The Japanese broad cast said that Japanese first line forces have ceased all military move ments in their present positions. It is hoped that Soviet forces will also cease attacks. Especially in the vicinity ofMutankian Soviet att tacks should be speedily stopped"
 CThe broadcast said that the Jap- anese would broadcast for ten min- utes every hour on flee radio fre- quelAcieS, announcing that their op- erations had halted and requested that the Russians reply through the Khabarovsk radio.
 The Oknawa announcement said the delegation was expected to re- turn to Japan with the surrender terms for Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese government and the Im- periol general staff Friday or Sat- urday.
 The Okinawa announcement said few minutes after MacArthur's headquarters had announced.at g p. m. -(8 a. m. EWT) that no response had come from the Japanese yet. However. headquarters confirmed that Tokyo had acknowledged the receipt of MacArthur's messages.
 The date and scene of the for nal signing of the terms was not announced. A Guam announcement hinted that the ceremony might take place aboard Admiral Chester w. Nimitz's Pacific fleet flagship.
 The Olxinawa broadcast indicated that Japan was obeying in full the provisions laid down by MacArthur in the second of his directives as Supreme Commander of the Allied occupation forces.
 Radio Tokyo announced earlier that Hirohito also had compiled with MacArthur's first directive by ordering ail Japanese armed forces to cease hostilities immediately Tokyo warned, however, that il might take days for the order 70 reach remote Islands and mountain areas.

ed under the Navy's point system but no figure set on the rate of dis charges to be expected.
 The Army-Navy plans for releas- ing up to 8,000,000 members does not mean that the strength of the armed forces, now estimated Ill., 0,000, will be reduced to 3,800, ,000 within 187 months.
 Army inductions alone will pro- ceed at the rate of 50,000 a month unless Congress steps in and chang es the draft law. The Navy said that it's continued use of inductees will depend upon national policy" on keeping the Selective Service program.
 Whether Congress will change the draft policy when it returns next month remains to be seen. There is some sentiment among the lawmakers to halt the draft iIn- mediately, reduce the critical score for discharges, and depend upon volunteers for occupation of enemy zones.
 Lower Point System
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son said the point score of 85 would be lowered from time to time in the interests of orderly demobiliza- tion. He also disclosed that the age level for discharge of enlisted per- sonnel, regardless of points, has heen lowered from 40 to 38.
 The age reduction makes 300,000 enlisted men eligible for release within 90 days after application.
 There are more than 500,00 others in the army now eligible for dis charge undner the present point score fo 85.
 The Navy said that 327,000 men and women are eligible for immedi- ate discharge under point system it has inaugurated. The Navy will allow one-half point for each year of age, figured to the nearest birth day; one-half point for each full month of active duty since Sept. i, 1943, and ten extra points for dependents. regardless of the number.
 Navy Rules
 The number of points needed for release from the Navy follows:
 A for enlisted male personnel; 2e for enlisted Wave personnel; 49 for male officer personnel, 35 for Wave officer personnel.
 The Navy said the point scores will be reduced when military coEn- mitments permit and that mean while preference among those elig. ible will be given to the men longest ct sea or overseas.
 Tn addition, the Navy will re. lease upon request, regardless of the point system. winners of the higher combat awards. These inc ciude the Medal of Honor.

 Asked whether a time limit had been set for Allied occupation of Germany at the recent Big Three conference, MT. Truman said no, adding that that will depend on how quickly and how well the Ger man people rehabilitate themselves on democratic principles.
 Asked if he planned any trip in the near future, the President said it was like moving a circus to get him out of Washington and that, right now, he had no travel plans.

 Churchill paid tribute to Russia's aid in the closing days of the Far
 Eastern War. But he declared em- phatically that it was the atomic
 bomb more than any other factor
 that brought the war to swift end and averted the desperate bat
 ties and massacres of invasion" Churchill. who went to the Big | Three conference last month as
 Britain's prime minister and was 1 voted out of office in the midst or the meeting, revealed that the An l glo-American decision to loose the
 bomb on Japan was divulged at that time.
 Simultaneously, the American and British joint chiefs of staff sub-
 mitted a master plan for a knock out offensive against the Japanese Tn Malaga, the Dutch East Indies and Japan itself. That undertaking. Churchill said,
 would have been the greatest mill
 tary operation in history: The AL lied high command ordered it to
 begin with the full reaalization that 1t probably would mean the sacrifice
 of l.25O.00 American and British lives.
 It was with that price in blood before them that the Allied leaders made their decision to unchain the devastating power of the atomic
 bomb against Japan Churchill de- clared.
 If the Germans and Japanese
 had discovered it." he added, they would have used 1t on us to our complete destruction with the ut- most alacrity."
