A second message said the imperial family party bound for the continent would leave Tokyo at 9 a. m. today, Japanese time, and the party bound for southern regions would leave tomorrow. The imperial party bound for Manchuria will, fly to Keijo (Seoul), capital of Korea, the Japanese said. The party bound for China will leave Tokyo, fly to Shanghai and then go on north to Nanking, the old- Chinese capital.

The southern party also will travel by way of Shanghai, stop over one night at Canton and proceed on to Saigon, in southern French Indo-China. The Japanese then asked site conduct. They described the planes bound for Manchuria and China as medium, twin-engined, low-wing monoplane transports. The south-bound one is a twin-engined medium bomber. All will be marked with a sun flag and a red streamer.

In reply MacArthur assured the Japanese every possible precaution would be taken to insure the safety of "the planes bearing the Japanese representatives on their missions." A flight of 36 Lightning fighter pilots will pick up the Japanese plane over the southeast coast of the southern home island of Kyushu and escort it to le. There the Japanese envoys, at least one representative of the emperor flanked by three representatives of the imperial armed forces, will be transferred quickly to a waiting four-engine army transport plane. Before the Japanese begin their five-hour flight to Nichols field near Manila they will be flown over Okinawa, now transformed into a mighty bastion of American aerial strength only 325 miles from Japan. Where the final signing of the articles of surrender will take place has not yet been disclosed. A dispatch from Guam indicated it would take place aboard the flagship of Fleet Admiral Nimitz.

That committee, once overwhelming for the peacetime draft, has cooled perceptibly on the subject The draft, the President' told reporters, will continue to take young men for replacement of veterans who have been fighting for a long time.
