uniforms of most of the allied representatives at today's Japanese surrender ceremonies Gen MacArthur wore cotton khaki slacks his batteredgilt-brimmed cap and a cotton shirt'-open at the neck MacArthur to emphasize that this was a fighting war has scorned neckties and formal dress since he left Australia Approximately 200 some witnessed today's surrender ceremonies A Japanese repprter for Dome' Instinctively ducked as American corsairs flew over Russians Chinese British Australians and one Filipino were among the newspaper magazine and radio representatives The surrender document handed the Japanese signatories was bound in black traditional color for mourning The copy retained by Gen MacArthur for the allies was bound in color of new life and new hope The only hitch In Saturday's surrender ceremony came near the end when Col Moore Cosgrave Canadian representative signed on the wrong line The Japanese delegates when presented their copy started to protest The matter was settled quickly in a conference between Lt Gen Richard Suterland Gen Douglas MacArthur's chief of Staff and a Japanese representative Replacement and Occupation 1 To guarantee the replacement of veteran fighting men 2 To insure an adequate number of occupation troops They added that a demand prob- ably still will be raised on the house and senate floors for a A change in policy Their plan however is to keep bottled up in committee any anti-draft legislation until it is seen whether volunteer enlistments increase beyond expectations or the need for occupation troops drops In this connection a special subcommittee headed by Chairman May (D) Kentucky speeded work Saturday on proposed legislation designed to etcourage volunteering It would provide added financial Inducements with increased pay for overseas service one of the chief provisions See Temporary Continuance Most of the legislators polled asserted that although the draft will be kept temporarily they will not go along with Pres Truman's recommendation for immediate action to continue it with two-year terms of service for men 18 to 25 They said they still hope that before the draft act expires May 15 the military situation will have improved enough to allow a halt to forced inductions But if congress votes to continue the draft many house members will insist thaat the army continue also its program of education for the asking for service men version termination of lend-lease and a good many other things Both senate and house committees already are holding hearings on extra pay for the showing signs of not liking the legislation much But there is talk of compromises And in diluted form an unemployment pensation bill might be the first big measure to reach the senate floor Ready for consideration on the house side is 'a bill to set up a single' surplus property administrator 47 The senate banking committee may approve within a few days a measure designed to help assure jobs for those who want them but rougher going is indicated for the measure in the house Draft Stay Seen Legislation to continue the draft is in the hearing stage in the house military committee- Some congressmen want to abolish selective service right now despite Mr Trurnans urgings that it's still needed but the outlook for retention is brighter than it was However any outright extension of the draft beyond the present expiration date -of next May 15 faces stout opposition For a week or more congress may have to content itself with debate instead of action on senate and house floors And with the war over and most members coming up for reelection next year the open season for politics will be on again Congress is cutting short a va- cation originally scheduled to end Oct 8 WASHINGTON Sept 1 Pres Truman said Saturday night in a Labor day statement that the nation recognizes the importance and dignity of labor and the right of every American to a wage which Will permit a decent living standard The president's comment was echoed by other leaders in he country as the United States prepared to celebrate the Labor day holiday Concern was voiced by some leaders however lest the process of reconversion and attendant unemployment might not be promptly solved Meanwhile the nation's war workers who have been urged since the start of the war to regard Labor day as just another working day were told to have fun on Monday Praises Contributions 'Each year since the battle of production began" Chairman A Krug said in a statement "American labor has responded nobly to the repeated urgings to stay on the job until victory is won Now at last thanks to labor's patriotic steadfastness this year it is a pleasure to invite labor to celebrate its magnificent and Corregidor and Lt Gen Sir Arthur Percival of Singapore to step forward These two defeated allied commanders now savoring their hour of triumph stepped up and Wainwright helped MacArthur take his seat MacArthur signed the documents with five pens The first he handed immediately to Gen Wainwright the second to Gen Percival ') second to Gen Percival accomplishments in winning the war" In histribute to labor Mr Truman said: "Six years ago the workers of the United States and of the world awoke oa Labor day in a world at war The democracies of western Europe had just accepted the callenge of totalitarianism We in the United States had two years of grace but the issue was squarely joined at that hour as we now know There was to be no peace until tyranny had been outlawed "Today we stand on the threshold of a new world We must do our part in making this world what It should world in which the bigotories of race and class and creed shall not be permitted to warp the souls of men "We enter upon 4n era of great problems but to live is to face problems Our men and women did not falter in the task of saving freedom They will not falter now in the task of making freedom secure And high in the ranks of those mein and women as a grateful world will always remember are the workers of all free nations who produced the vast equipment with which the victory was won Recognize Rights "We recognize the importance and dignity of labor and we recognize the right of every American citizen to a wage which will permit him and his dependents to maintain a decent standard of Lying" Secy of the Navy Forrestal said Labor day provided a fitting occasion "for the armed services and for the 'citizens- of the nation to express -their gratitude to the American working man for his contributions toward

introductory statement before the Japanese signed then called upon each nation's signer in turn to step forward Russia Followed United Kingdom Signature The United Kingdom's signature was followed by that of soviet Russia The Russian staff officer signed quickly scooting his chair into a more comfortable position even as he was signing MacArthur smiled approvingjy as the Russian arose and saluted

asserted Saturday that the so-called full employment bill and the program necessary to make it effective "provide the only practical hope of a balanced federal budget" "With an national production of 200 billion dollars worth of goods and services annually a regularly balanced budget should be readily obtainable with relatively moderate taxes" Bowles said in a statement presented to the senate banking committee ''But who would assume" he asked "what with a national production of say only 110 billion dollars and with 20 million men walking the streets in search of jobs We could raise the necessary funds to meet our federal cbmmitments within the bounds of practical taxation Asserting the bill merely states a national policy and calls for a program to achieve it Bowles suggested such a program Include 1 A bong-range tax program to encourage the maximum of private investment and enterprise as soon as inflationary dangers ends 2 A social security program which will cover all working groups 3 A farm program which will develop into a national policy of maintenance of high farm income 4 Dropping the controls developed during the war The committee closed its hearings on the measure with Bowles' statement and testimony from John Snyder director of war mobilization a reconversion Sen Sheridan Downey (D) California and Maj Gen Philip Fleming' federal works administrator Snyder
