 Watch for Treaehery

MANILA, Aug 2l---Allied occupa- ton of Japan will begin Sunday. the Japanese Government and Im- perial Headquarters said today in a joint communique which included an appeal to the Japanese people to remain calm and continue their business as usual"
 The communique, broadcast by the Japanese Domei News Agency. amplified an earlier announcement by the Information Ministry that the first occupation troops would be airborne. landing at Atsugi Air field, 20 miles southwest of Tokyo
 The airborne landings will be followed Tuesday, Aug. 28, with further landings from warships and transports in the Yokosuka area the ministry said. Yokosuka is one of Japan's great naval bases. It is located at the mouth of Tokyo Bay
 Tc Prevent Outbreaks
 Domei quoted the ministry as saying that Japanese Army and Navy forces would be transferred immediately from the landing area to prevent any outbreaks.
 Sufficient police will be stationed in the occupation areas to main tain peace and order"
 The Japanese announcements were the first disclosures of plans for the triumphal entry by Allied forces which will lead to the formal surrender to Gen Macarthur as Supreme Allied Commander.
 MacArthur had announced only that the occupation would be car- ried out by the end of the month. Imperial Announcement
 Tokyo's disclosures followed an imperial announcement that the Mikado's surrender envoys had re- turned to Tokyo with explicit in- structions of what the Japanese must do to prepare for occupation The imperial announcement. which is traditionally made public. was the first word the Japanese people had that their envoys had gone to Manila at MacArthur's order.
 Japanese General Headquarters radioed MacArthur that both white painted envoy planes had returned to Tokyo, after being delayed by air mishaps.
 Unconditional Surrender
 The text of the credentials car- ried by It. Gen. Takashiro Kawabe. head of the negotiators. was re- leased by MacArthur's General Headquarters today. It ended any possible speculation as to his au- thority to bind the nation to his promises. In effect it meant uncon- ditional surrender
 MacArthur's post conference statement yesterday made it plain that the negotiations developed no concessions beyond the original one of preservation of the throne.
 Tokyo meanwhile professed to the world that she was extremely fear ful of her military men-"without

GU5TAvUSBE pAA SERVICE
 TRANSFER pT.
Juneau 10 Be Served by Shuttle Service Using
 Present Clippers

Juneau is fated soon to sit with Ketchikan at the tag-end of a shuttle jump and watch the main line of Alaska air travel fit by. Just how soon that situation will come about depends upon when the Lockheed Consultations that Pan American World Always plans to put into Alaska service will be available.
 The disclosure as to PAA plans to substitute Gustavus for the Juneau Airport as main line transfer point was made here yes- terday afternoon in testimony given by Jerry Roscoe, PAA's act ing Manager for the Alaska sector MT. Roscoe was appearing as a witness at the public hearing on Pan Americas application to carry traffic between Juneau and Ket- chikan.
 It was later revealed by MT. Ros- COG that one of the Douglas DC-3's, now flying the main Alaska route, will be stationed at the Juneau terminal to provide shuttle service to Gustavus.
 MT. Roscoe testified that the 60- passenger Consultations would be unable to get into the Juneau Air- port, that when they are in service terminal facilities will be shifted to Gustayus and Pan American will operate a shuttle plane service to carry passengers between Juneau and Gustavus.
 PA plans for serving Ketchikan include continued use of the An nette Island airfield, with shuttle service by chartered boat to handle traffic in and out between the island and Ketchikan. Whenever sufficient traffic volume is ob- tained, plane service between the First City and Annette Island will displace the boat service, Roscoe indicated.
 Anchorage Only Alaska Stop
 Should Pan American World Air ways be successful in it's applica- tion to the CAB for certification across the North Pacific from Seattle to the Orient, traffic on the route will eventually be carried by Douglas DC-7's, which will make only one scheduled stop in Alaska at Anchorage.

Republican BuiIdup Replaces Breakdown;
 Ii May Be Strategy
By Jack Stinnett

!
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l--Are the Republicans relaxing their longtime strategy of merely adverse criti- cism of Democratic administrative policies for a constructive legisla- tive program all their own?
 The recent activities of Republi- can senators who are admittedly party leaders gives every indication that they are.
 Senator Arthur h Vandenberg 5 recent letter writing spree; Sen. Robert A. Taft's outline of post recess legislative program and his surprisingly liberal recommendations for national housing; the teaming Of Sens. Harold H. Burton and Joseph H. Ball with Democratic Sen Carl Hatch to sponsor legislation for Q federal labor relations board are just a few but very important indications that the party leaders are no longer going to Ee satisfied with simply tearing down the administration playhouse, but intend to build one of their own with which they can point with pride in the coming elections of 1946 and '48
 Sen. Vandenberg has been one of the party leaders in foreign policy now for several years and has led it consistently away from isolation ism No one was particularly sur- prised when he vigorously defend- ed the San Francisco charter. Most of his party colleagues applauded both with hands and affirmative votes.
 His letter to Secretary of State Byrne5- outlinging a seyen-point proposal for governing the choice and powers of the American dele gate to the United Nations organiza- ticn, and his suggestion that only the armed forces of the western Hemisphere nations be allowed to police the western hemisphere, is a horse of another color
 Some administration spokesmen hastened to let it be known they weren't placing all their money on the nose of tha, Vandenberg horse by any means.
 However, a day earlier they could not do anything but string along when the Michigan senator proposed that Labor Secretary Schwellenbach sponsor a labor -management-gov- ernment Big 3" conference to iron cut the problems on the industrial home front. That suggestion got results immediately.
 Sen. Taft has been one of the most persistent dissenters to Demo- cratic administration policies for years, so much SC that his opponents across the aisle have long tried to pass off his criticism at nothing more than the outpourings of con- firmed and hide-bound conserya- tive.
 Then Sen. Taft's subcommittee on national housing made it's report and recommendations for new hous- ing legislation Democratic senators Wagner and Ellender rushed to the Senate hopper with their housing bill the same day Taft made pub
