UP Will Study Tape
For Clue 10 False
Surrender Flash
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The United
Press said last night it had Or
dered impounded all teletype tape
at all points along the circuit over
which was sent false flash" Sum-
day night that Japan had sur
rendered.
The UP said 1t hoped that a
study of the tape would provide a
clue to the identity of the guilty
person" sending the erroneous in
formation. A reward of $1,000 was
offered by Hugh Baillie, United
Press president, for the identifica-
ton and conviction of the person
sending the report.
Lacks Equipment.
The UP said the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. from
which 1t leases it's news wires, re-
ported that its investigation dis
closed that the flash did not orig
mate in any of its test stations.
The A. T. & T. said it had filed
similar report with the Federal
Communications Commission, which
had requested a report.
r The A. T. g. T. statement said
the flash could not have originated
in any of its test stations because
"the flash was transmitted by auto
matte tape and these test stations
are not equipped with the equipment
to perforate tape"
AP Reward Proposed.
Kent Cooper, general manager of
the Associated Press, made the fol-
lowing statement:
"It is to the interest of the public,
Of the newspapers and radio and of
the press associations that there be
no tampering with the facilities of
the press associations, or any manip-
ulation by which the press assoeia-
tions are imposed upon through the
unauthorized use of their channels
of information for the transmission
of fraudulent news. I deeply regret |
that anything of this kind has been |
experienced by the United Press
Association.
1T is imperative that the integ-
rity of the news reports of the press
associations be protected against
fraud. I hope, therefore, that the
board of directors of the Associated |
Press will add an appropriate
amount to the reward offered by the
United Press Association for the ap-
prehension and conviction of any
one who is guilty of the incident of
fraud as reported by that news
agency.
There is law against tampering
with wires in interstate commerce
and I hope the Federal Communica-
tions and the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation will undertake their in
vestigations and that they will be
successful"

forces to head off strikes. They are !:
Management's desire to make a
quick conversion to peacetime pro-
duction without difficulties, and the
workers desire to hold down job
in looSening labor market"
Amplifying their predictions con-
corning unemployment, the Govern
ment economists presented this gen.
eral outlook:
Within two months after VI day
5000, 900 munitions workers will lose
their jobs. (This was estimated last
week by War Manpower Commission
ofhcials.)
Many of those won't be classified
as unemployed" because they won't
be looking for other jobs. Also,
many quickly will get other jobs.
On the other hand, when 5000, 900
workers in munitions plants are
out, large number of other work.
ers will be out too, because of sec
ondary effects" For example, peo-
pie working in restaurants near the
closed plants.
Changeover to Take Time.
On top of this, the armed forces
will step up their discharges. Vet
Grams will be pouring back on the
scene.
1t will take some time for most
war plants to get ready for peace
time production. Although many
civilian jobs are open, the released
war workers are not always in the
right place to take them, and trans
portation troubles won't clear up
right away.
Next year, many of the unem-
ployed should be able to get to the
right place at the right time and
take civilian jobs. But next year
more millions of veterans will be
coming home from the war-enough
to raise the 100000 perhaps to
100000 before the trend is re-
VerSed.
If unemployment reaches 9,0O0,-
600 1t will be just about where it
stood at the beginning of the de-
fense program in 1910, the econo-

ment for the maintenance of eco
nomic security throughout this
country.
Il expect to present to the Con-
gress specific recommendations
looking toward this objective.
"A sound system of social security
requires careful consideration and
preparation. Social security worthy
OF the name is not dole or a device
for giving everybody something for
nothing. True social security must
consist of rights which are earned
rights-guaranteed by the law OF
the land. Only that kind of social
security is worthy of the men and
women who have fought and are
now fighting to preserve the heri-
tage and the future of America"

laps Had Peace Plan,
Including Suicide for
Leaders, Chinese Say
BY the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, Aug. II Delayed
The Chinese Army newspaper Sac
Tang Po said today Japan was ready
to offer up her war leaders as hara-
kiri victims and retreat to her 1881
as conditions Of peace,
even before the first atomic bomb
fell and Russia entered the Pacific
War.
Quoting Hsieh Nan Kuang, de-
scribed as leader of the Formosan
Revolutionary League, the newspaper
pictured the growth Of a surrender
clique in Tokyo as fire bombs and
explosives fell on Japan's cities and
American carrier planes struck her
feet.
It described the Empress Nagako
as peace plan organizer.
Here is the newspapers account
of Hsieh's report:
The first step toward peace was
taken June 3 by Imperial Household
Minister Tsuneo Matsudaira, busi-
ness manager for the imperial FAM
lily and its fortune, which has been
estimated at per cent of all the
wealth in Japan.
Matsuidaira resigned, with the
aim of organizing a pro-American,
pro- British surrender cabinet. The
plan failed because of the army'S
opposition.
Situation Getting Worse.
Japan's situation was getting
worse daily, however, and on June
% Premier Admiral Kantaro Suzuki
called a meeting of all the elder
statesmen, including all former
Premiers, at which he reported indi-
cations that Russia would join the
war.
The meeting decided to instruct
Ambassador Naotake Sato in Mos
COW to pay special attention to
Russias attitude. Meantime, the
government prepared peace pro-
posals for submission through Mos
cow to the Big Three at Potsdam
These finally were forwarded to
Premier Stain in Emperor Hiro-
hito's name.
Japanese Army leaders, meantime
split on whether to surrender, but
both sides wanted the Emperor to
take the reins of government. This
desire became demand after
Japan's fleet was wiped out as a
fighting force on July 18.
The Empress Nagako was sent to
seek advice of the dowager empress
and on her return it was decided to
form a commission to decide def
initely on the question of continuing
the war or surrendering.
FL on Commission.
The commission consisted of 81
persons, including the Imperial
Princes Chichibu and Takamatsu
and leading army and navy officers
This commission decided Japan
would surrender, provided that the
Emperor retained his sovereignty
that Japan kept Formosa and Korea
and that Japan retained her army
and navy, subject to Allied restric-
tions. AS fourth condition, it pro.
posed that those responsible for the
war would commit suicide and the
Allies would drop war crirnina,
charges.
Before these conditions could be
placed before the Allies the Pots
dam ultimatum was announced.
After the Americans dropped the
first atomic bomb on Hiroshima and
Japan lost possible mediator
through Russia's declaration of war
the japanese Peace Commission held
an emergency meeting which lasted
throughout the night of August 8.
This meeting, the newspaper said,
produced Japan's offer to surrender
on the Potsdam terms, provided the
Emperor could be retained.
