 United Press Staff Corespondentl
 Manila, Aug. (Satur- day) - (UP) - A typhoozi which delayed Japanese arz arrangements for the arrival of U. s. occupation troops to- day raised a possibility there might be a slight hitch il1 carrying out Gen. Douglas MacArthur's surrender pro- gram.
 It was noted here that MacArthur had specified that the initial landings Tuesday were dependent upon weather conditions.
 Bad Conditions
 The Japanese advised the Allied Supreme Commander today that the Atsugi airfields where MatAx- thur and U. s. airborne forces will land have been left in very muddy condition to rainfall accompanylng the typhoon.
 Whether the fields will dry out in time to allow the landings 10 proceed as planned was not yet known.
 The Japanese reported that the Allies would follow up their occupa% tion of the Tokyo area with new air and sea landings on southern Kyu= shu beginning Sept. 1, the day after the scheduled signing of the Jap- anese surrender.

Chungking, Aug. A-(UP)-The Chinese Communist war communi- que today reported that Communist forces have seized the Weihaiwei naval base on Shantung peninsula, the Tientsin railroad station and the big rice port town of Wuhu above Nanking.
 The communique said that Com- munist forces operating southeast of Peiping have cut the Tintsin-Pei- ping railroad.
 Take Other Areas
 Other Communist forces were credited with capturing Luho oppo- site Nanking and to have entered Kweisui in Suiyan province which the comnunique of the Chungking government claimed had been cap- tured by its forces.
 The Communist exploits were re- ported as the Communist regime ac- cepted Gen. Chiang Kai-shek's bid for a conference at Chungking. The Communist leader Mao Tze-tung advised Chiang he is sending rep- resenative to Chungking in re- sponse to Chiang's invitation.
 For national unity, I'm sending Chou En-lai to Chungking to see you." Mao said. T hope you receive him."
