Less than an hour cabinet was to be invested by Emperor Hirohito, Shidehara announced that Adm. Mitsumasa Yonai, navy minister since July, 1944, would continue in the post, instead of Adm. Soemo Toyoda. The new premier apparently made the sudden change after strong criticism of Toyoda had been voiced.
The cabinet was to be received by Hirohito at 11 a.m. and had two problems waiting for them as soon as they formally assumed office.
Armed members of the first cavalry division surrounded the navy ministry building. A terse announcement said “previous metal,” presumably stolen in foreign conquests, was believed stored there. Reliable reports said other buildings would be seized to prevent removal
of loot'stored in them. A perusal of records seized by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's command when 20 Japanese banks, institutions and branches were closed a week ago apparently led to the discovery.
The change in navy ministers' occurred so suddenly American authorities learned of it first through U. S. correspondents. Lt. Gen. Richard K. Sutherland, MacArthur”s chief of staff, said: “This is the first I’ve heard of it I want to wait to get the whole story before saying anything about it”
Shidehara gave no reason for the change. A spokesman said he “did not know” whether or not disapproval of Toyoda was responsible for the move. Earlier, it has been announced by Daisabaru Tsugita, new chief cabinet secretary, that there had been “difficulty” over Toyoda’s appointment.
The Admiral was commander of the combined Japanese fleet shortly before the end of the war and undoubtedly one of those with knowledge of the navy’s war loot secrets.	1
Yonai, navy minister in the Koiso and Higashi-kuni cabinets, had first been invited to remain in the Shidehara cabinet, but declined with the explanation that he was suffering from high blood pressure! Toyoda then was offered the position.
After the announcement that Yonai had been retained as navy minister, it was disclosed by the cabinet that Toyoda never had accepted the position. When the cabinet was unable to persuade Toyoda, Yonai contacted Shidehara and said he would continue in office despite his illness “since there is nothing else to do under the circumstances.’*
Allies to give Nazis control
BERLIN, Oct. 8.—(U.P)—All routine administration In the American oc-cupation zone is to be turned over to German city, county and state authorities by Dec. 31 under a sweeping plan designed to return to German civilians responsibility for their own government, it was announced today.
The plan will start with the withdrawal of American military government units from control of city and county administration by Nov. 15 and will lead to the withdrawal of supervisory detachments by next June 30, after elections.
This will leave the American forces only in general supervision of their zone, leaving details to the Germans, but occupation troops will be ready to prevent or put down disorders and overall control of the Germans will be maintained.
Steps in the plan:

All graduating marines, V-12s, and NROTCs are asked to have their pictures taken by the university photographer for the 1946 El Rodeo before leaving campus this term, according to Bud Hell-warth, military editor.
Marines are asked to wear their barracks caps and dress greens, V-12s their dress blues, and NROTCs their frame hats and blues. “If possible, I should like to have their pictures taken by the end of this week,” said Hellwarth, “as there will be no other opportunity to get them if the trainees want to be included in the 1946 annual.”
