Schwellenbach ruled tonight that employers must pay time and one half to war workers on sovernment war i contract for working on Aug. 15 and 16 the two-day holiday when the sur render of Japan was celebrated. The labor secretary also an nounced that President Truman has expressed the hope that those workers who did not work dur ing the two-day celebration be paid straight time. But employers are not required to pay employes who did not work, Schwellenbach said. Schwellenbach's announcement was made to clarify an erroneous White House statement issued Tuesday night proclaiming the two days as "legal holidays." The president's proclamation, it was explained later, had been merely to' give federal govern ment employes a two-day holi day with pay. Schwellenbach also disclosed that President Truman. on Monday Mon-day will revoke the executive order governing over-time pay ments in war plants which has been in effect since Oct. 1, 1942, and is no longed needed because of war contract cancellations. Schwellenbach said that his ruling on Aug. 15 and 16 applies to war workers. It is hoped, he said, that other wage earners of the country who are not govern ment workers will be paid straight time for the two days if they were given a holiday. Jap Surrender (Continued from Page One) said good weather would continue from Ie until the American transport trans-port reached northern Luzon, where it will pass bumpily through an equatorial weather front. Reply Promptly The Japanese replied promptly to MacArthur's demand that there be "no further delay" in sending their emissary. They said two un armed, twin-engined land attack planes With MacArthur s pre scribed markings green crosses on a white background would leave Kisarazu airdrome southeast of Tokyo at 7 a. m. and pass over Sata Misaki on the southern tip of Kyushu about 11 a. m. They estimated the time of arrival at Ie at about 1:20 p. m. (12:20 a. m Sunday EWT). The flight from Ie island to Manila will take approximately six hours and the Japanese should arrive at MacArthur s headquart uers around dusk Sunday (dawn Sunday EWT). A spokesman said the Japanese would be rushed to quarters in a big apartment building and it was unlikely they would hear Mac- Arthur's terms before Monday morning. The emissary and his advisers will be given full military court esy and protection, it was said. They will be returned to Japan in the shortest possible , time in oruer 10 nasien ine iormai sur render and occupation! of the home islands. i- The Japanese asked for the station designation, call sign and frequency of the American radio at Ie island. Then their message said: "In communication contact, the call signs of our planes are JBACY and JBACZ." Ignore "Bataan" Code This designation ignored Mac-Arthur's Mac-Arthur's instructions that the planes were to use the password "Bataan." MacArthur returned: "In reply to your message No. 9. dated Auc IS, the aircraft control tower at Ie Jima is designated MOCA and will guard 6970 kilocycles for voice communications.

Thomas felt that Japan's sur render may foree the Chinese factions to settle their differ ences, adding: "Until they do,' it would be dangerous if the Japanese in China were to turn over their arms to either group; their guns might be used by the Chinese to fight each other."
