In. habitants should never resort to fisticuffs or display any violence, the broadcast said. Tokyo also told the inhabitants of Korea and Formosa they should keep calm and remain in their present localities. The broadcast recalled that the Cairo declaration specified that Formosa ultimately would be returned to China and Korea would become free and independent. Shuttle Service Ready

SCHENECTADY, N. Y. (U. P).— | The New York state education |department, in collaboration with {the General Electric Co.; has: hit on a new idea to keep Johnny in school.

Three large central rural schools in upstate New York have been [chosen as the proving ground. The |choice was made because all three [schools were constructed recently jon the same general plan. All have similar ventilating sys{tems circulating the same amount of air per pupil. Each school has a full-time nurse and the health records for the past several years |are reported to be good. The student populations. are comparable with respect to size and come from {homes of similar social and eco(nomic standing.

Allison employees had been working a 54-hour week, nine hours a dav, six days a week, until the past few weeks when they went on a 45 and 48-hour week. The new schedule of eight hours a day five days a week eliminates overtime work, at time and onehalf pay rates, for all but certain jobs, Allison had previously announced that, because the air forces want it to continue making some jet engines for Re time being at least, it will lay off only 20 per cent of its 9000 employees at this time. Ten government-owned war plants in Indiana and 242 others throughout the nation were declared surplus by the army today. CdVering nearl¢ 50 million square feet of ground, they cost nearly $1'2 billion to build. The plants, used to manufacture aircraft, tanks, explosives, artillery and small arms, chemicals, steel, radar and radio, will be available shortly for sale or lease through the Reconstruction Finance Corp.

Tokyo warned that even a single | “mistake” in Japan's conduct toward the occupation troops might prolong - the period of occupation and bring “harsh and severe oceupation administration.” Under the occupation terms agreed upon at Manila, Tokyo said, administration of Japan will remain in -Japanese hands - though subject. to the orders of MacArthur. Any breach of the occupation terms would result in allied forces taking over direct control, however, Tokyo said. The broadcast said Japan still did not know the exact areas to be occupied nor the final peace terms to be imposed by the allies, Tokyo said yesterday, however, that occupation of the Tokyo area was expected to be completed by Aug. 31 and landings would begin in southern Kyushu next day.

MacArthur reported that in addition to Nimitz and himself, those who would sign the Japanese surrender document for the allies would be: For the United Kingdom-—Adm.
