Resignation Of Cabinet
Reported in ThaiIand
Nv the Axsoc;at.d pr...

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-
Premier Maj. Luang Kovid Abhai-
wong of Thailand and his entire
cabinet yesterday submitted their
designations to the president of the
Regency Council, the japanese
Domei news agency reported today
in a broadcast heard by the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
The dispatch said the Regency
Council last Thursday announced
that King Amanda Mahidol had pro-
claimed that the declaration of war
on the United States and Great
Britain was null and void and not
binding on the Thai people,"
In another dispatch on Southeast
Asia, Domei reported that Wet Nam,
Japanese puppet kingdom estab-
lished recently from the French In
do-China protectorate of AMMAN,
had taken steps to merge all parties
in its battle to remain free of French
rule.
Domei reported yesterday that
Wet Nam would reject peace if 1t
meant returning to French control.
The French press agency (AFP)
reported, meanwhile, that French
troops and administrators are ready
to take 1ndo- China in hand again."
French forces In Ceylon and China
will be supplemented by troops now
in Madagascar and France II neces-
sary, AFP said.

discharge plan Wednesday said ii
was the intention of the Navy, sub
ject only to military commitments
to release 100000 to 100000 men
within the next year or 18 months ,
To accomplish that objective
Admiral Jacobs conceded, the crit
ical scores will have to be lowered
Under the present scoring, he said
approximately $4,000 men and
women are Immediately eligible for
release, including the high award
holders.
Only 10000 Medal Holders.
The Navy will release on their own
request holders of the Congressional
Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, Legion
of Merit, Silver Star Medal, Dis
tinguished Flying Cross and COM
parable medals of the Army, if such
awards were made for combat
achievements. These decorations.
however, are given so sparingly that
out of the Navy's millions, less than
10000 men are eligible for release
because of their awards.
Admiral Jacobs stated fatty that
no additional factors would be taken
into consideration in computing the
score. Asked when the score would
be lowered to release the 100000
to 2,500,00o within the promised
time. Admiral Jacobs said that
would depend on how many ships
and installations will have to be
manned, how many Squadrons will
be required. how many transports
will be needed and whether or not
the Navy will have to establish
bases on Japan's home islands.

Jap Major Surrenders
Bougainvi||e Army
By the Associated Press,

MELBOURNE, Aug. ia smiling
Japanese major led surrender en-
voys of Emperor Hirohito's 17th
Army through tropical downpour
today to meet three Australian Of
flcers who had been waiting three
days on the banks of the Mivo River
of Bougainville Island in the Sol
onions.
The japanese crossed the river
under white flag carried by a pri-
vate who bore Japanese flag in his
other hand.
They were led by Maj. Otsu, who
saluted and bowed to Maj. j. r. Bur-
rell of the 29th Australian Infantry
Brigade. Australian War Corre-
spondent Noel Ottway reported that
Maj. Burrell returned the salute.
Through an interpreter Maj. Otsu
acknowledged that the Emperor had
been defeated and said he had been
sent by 1t Gen. Kanda to receive
terms for the surrender of the 18th
Army.
Maj. Otsu smiled broadly when
told to enter Maj. Burrell's jeep,
and was still smiling when blind
folded and driven through groups of
cheering Aussies toward division
headquarters.
1t was expected the ENJOYS would
recross the river latef, carrying de-
tails of the surrender terms.

the first of its kind in 1850 years
and would require Is years.
The project will be under the edu-
cation ministry.
Gen. Higashi-Kuni today selected
Tamon Mazda, prewar head of the
Japanese cultural institute in New
York City, as minister of education.
Mazda, g., had represented Japan
at the International Labor Office in
Geneva.
Japan's peace government is OBJ
ligated first to concentrate on relief
and rehabilitation, but it also in
tends Ito supply sufficient funds"
to permit reconversion of wartime
industries" Juichi Tsushima, new
finance minister, was quoted as say
ing, in another Domei broadcast.

MANILA, Aug. 18.-Corre-

render and occupation of Japan
will operate under slightly re-
laxed censorship, Gen. Mac

day.
A new list of regulations per-
mits more advance discussion
than usual Of impending events
and quicker identification of
American units on new assign
ments.
However, news of military
movements and plans for vari-
GUS stages Of surrender can be
released only after official an
nouncement. Other wartime
security prohibitions remain.
The regulations contain no

affairs in areas to be occupied.
There Is no offlcial indication

Office Of Censorship
Closing Fails 10 Bring
Employment Problem

Closing down of the Office of
Censorship does not appear to pre-
sent any major unemployment
problem for the approximately
5000 persons on the agency's pay
roll, Assistant Director Theodore F.
Koop said today.
When Director Byron Price de-
creed the end of wartime censor
ship within "a hours after Japans
capitulation, it had approximately
300 employees in Washington and
$500 others throughout the coun-
try.
All Civil Service employees, which
includes virtually all civilians in the
agency, Mr.. Koop said, were given
80 days notice, and many of them
will remain to wind up the affairs
OF the Office. A high percentage OF
the employees in Washington, he
said, will find jobs in other Govern
ment agencies which are planning
postwar expansion and need more
workers. This is particularly true
|of stenographers and other clerical
employees.
Many censorship employees ir
other cities, Mr.. Koop said, were
either retired men and women OF
housewives who answered the Gov.
ernment's call for emergency wal
workers. A majority of these, he
predicted, will not enter the labor
market. Some TOO employees were
Army and Navy personnel who will
continue in the services until dis.
charged.
The Office of Censorship reached
an employment peak of 14,500 per
sons in the winter of 1884, Mr.
Koop said. Since then it has beer
reducing its staff gradually.
Mr.. Price, formerly executiv,
editor of the Associated Press, will
remain here for 80 days to liquidat,
the affairs of his Office, it was un.
derstood. His future plans hav,
not been announced.
