Japanese radio says isolated armies to fight
6AN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20—0) Tokyo radio warned today that me “hot-headed’’ Japanese miliary men may resist the Allied oc-pation of the homeland, but ex-ressed belief that “the greater art” of the military will obey the mperor.
The broadcast, beamed in English the United States and recorded y the FCC, said Japanese accept-nce of the Allies’ terms was “resented by a considerable portion of the military men" and occupation toy an alien army “may be too much 'or some of the military officers to ear.”
“Some of the hot-headed among: them may allow their emotions to fet the better of their judgment,” Tokyo said, “and there is no telling what unfortunate incidents may occur which might endanger ihe present delicate situation.” “Even if sporadic outbursts should occur,” the broadcast said, “the emperor's injunction to the government to control the military assures that Japan will leave nothing undone to enforce strict compliance with the terms of the Potsdam proclamation, which we have accepted in all solemnity and good faith.”
The Tokyo broadcast was the first indication that military resistance to the Japanese surrender was a fact. The first broadcast of the Japanese acceptance of Allied surrender terms was interrupted by persons described as "agents" of the war minister Gen. Koreehika Anami, who later committed suicide.
The broadcast confirmed Allied fears that thousands of troops in southern Asia who have known (Continued on Page Three)

Chiang warns Reds in China
CHUNGKING, Aug. 20.—(HE)— Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek today renewed his demands that communist leader Mao Tse Tung come to Chunking for a conference on China's national policy and warned that “No recrudence of civil vrar can be tolerated.”
Chiang, in his second message in eight days to Communist leaders, warned that refusal of the communist forces to comply with his orders not to disarm the Japanese jeopardised China's position among the allies. Procedure for the Japanese surrender has been laid down by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, he said.
Chiang's first telegram was sent Aug. 12—the day Japan an-it would accept the Pots-am ultimatum—to Mao demanding at Gen, Chu Teh, commander of communist armies, order his
to remain at their posts and never again take independent ac-"on" in disarming the Japanese. The reply from Chu was a flat nsal to accept the order and a refusal to come to Chungking.
atomic energy, according to Dr. D. Welty Lefever, chairman of the program committee.
The members of this panel will discuss atomic energy and its implications in the fields of industry, government, and social welfare. The results of research in the field of atomic energy have been hailed as among the greatest achievements in the history of mankind.
“The developments in the use of atomic energy have tremendous possibilities as far as sociology workers are concerned,” stated Dr. Mangold. He continued by declaring that these new developments are now in the hands of the peaceful nations of the world, which will give them an opportunity to work out a permanent peace.
“Atomic energy can have great value if we are able to control it,” Dr. Mangold concluded.
The discussion by the three speakers, the group feels, will have great significance for all those interested in all phases of atomic energy outside of a purely military aspect. Recent use of atomic energy against the Japanese greatly shortened the war in the Pacific.
Those who prefer may bring their own lunch or come in time to hear the speakers at 12:30 p. m., according to Howard W. Patmore, club president.

Oil slicks followed depth-bomb attacks indicated that at least three of the prowling submarines were hit, Comdr. E. S. Gillette, commander of the Navy’s harbor defense section, said.

It was understood that the oc- ! cupation force, prepared for any emergency, would include planes carrying atomic bombs.
(Japanese general headquarters informed MacArthur that the Japanese “representative” to Manila and his “party” returned to Tokyo at 8:30 a. m. (Tokyo time). The message said that the trip had been “somewhat delayed due to an engine trouble that necessitated a foreed landing at an unscheduled point.”
MacArthur, announcing his plans as a 16-man Japanese mission flew homeward after two completely successful pre-occupation conferences here, said:
“It is my earnest hope that j pending formal accomplishment of the instrument of surrender, I armistice conditions may prevail on every front and that a blood- j less surrender may be effectuated.”

1.	Gave freely and fully information intended to smooth the way for the occupation.
2.	Receive a statement of Mac-Arthur's occupation plans.

Chaplain corps calls for books
Under the auspices of the chaplains’ service corps, a book drive is being held at SC this week in order to secure books of all types for servicemen overseas. The drive, which started last week, is being directed by the War Board.
A collection box is located in the foyer of the Student Union for the convenience of students and faculty members who wish to give books for the drive.
Although any kind of book will be accepted, textbooks are especially sought. Although the war is now over, there are still large members of our servicemen who lack necessary reading materials which are so <vital ,to the morale-building activities carried on by the chaplains’ corps.
A chaplain serving in the Aleutians has stated, “There are times when the men need the bewitchment of books more than they need food.” Another chaplain assigned to a repair ship declared, “I don’t know what we would do in this inaccessible spot without all those books you secured for us.”
as soon as necessary arrangements can be made.
2.	Sign the final surrender document, probably in Tokyo.
3.	Deliver a formal post-surrender order by MacArthur ,to the Japanese imperial general staff to instruct its commanders at the fronts to surrender unconditionally to the Allied theater commanders concerned.

Steuber piano concert features varied works
Sprightly, imaginative music, representing the genius of some of the great composers of the world, was presented at the recital last night of Miss Lillian Steuber, well known pianist and member of the School of Music faculty.
Included in Miss Steuber’s piano offerings were the sometimes whimsical, sometimes sombre Sonata in B Minor, Chopin; the highly descriptive “Pictures At An Exhibition,” Moussorgsky, the dramatic
Intermezzo in E Flat Major, testant’s name included in a sealed i Brahms; and Sonata in C Major,

Announcement will be made during the 14th week of the summer term and presentation of the award is to be made at a special * banquet planned for the end of that week, according to Gilson.
The winning essay will be printed, with due credit to the author, so that the student body may read it.
Mozart.
The program, sponsored by the Allan Hancock foundation and the School of Music, was marked by its variety in musical theme and mood.
In addition to the Brahms Intermezzo. Miss Steuber also presented Capriccio in C Major. Both of the Brahms works wrere short, lively, and spirited, in contrast to the heavier music for which the
great German composer has become famous.
“Exhibition” is a composition for the piano made up of 10 separate pieces beginning with a promenade theme. Subsequent sections making up the complete work are variations on the original theme. Highly impressionistic, Moussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” is a tone poem in which the composer puts into melody his interpretations of various pictures which catch his eye as he wanders through an art museum. The melody which Miss Steuber played is the basic theme of the work.
At this, Miss Steuber’s first piano recital on the Trojan campus, the audience was warmed and charmed by the great melodies of the four masters chosen for her program. With her well-chosen presentation, Miss Steuber displayed her versatile talent before the SC audience,
Ellis E. Patterson, representative from the 16th California congressional district, will speak on the subject “The Returning Serviceman and the Postwar United States” at a joint meeting sponsored by the Trovets and the We Are One society tomorrow at noon in 206 Administration, stated Milton Buck, entertainment chairman of the Trovets.
“Formerly lieutenant governor of California and an assemblyman in the state legislature, and now representing us in Washington, Representative Patterson is well qualified to speak about the serviceman’s future in the United States,” stated Maurice Gould, president of WAO.
Recently returned from an extensive tour of the south Pacific battle areas, Representative Patterson spoke with many GIs about their Slopes and expectations. As lieutenant governor of California during the Olson administration, Patterson was able to see the workings of government at first hand and has also had wide experiences in law.
Representative Patterson has come up-, the hard way. He put himself through school by working in a cannery.
In discussing the recent congressional action on the United Nations Charter, he said, “I have from the beginning supported the Dumbarton Oaks agreement and the Bretton Woods proposal and every other measure tending to affect international, economic, and political cooperation.
“A United Nations organization Is indispensable to permanent peace. Such an organization is, however, meaningless and ineffectual without the amity and cooperation of the United States, Great Britain, and the USSR. We must leave no effort unmade to perpetuate the future peace of the world.’*
Patterson is a member of the merchant marine and fisheries, labor, Indian affairs, and war claims §
congressional committees.
All students and faculty members are invited to attend this discussion, stated Frank Soares, president of the Trovets.
