‘It was Gen. William C. Chase's cavalry division. that spearheaded MacArthur's lightning drive “lat Santo Tomas university, Troops Go in Kidding Four regiments of the division— the 5th, Tth, 8th.and 12th compris-~ting.-the. 1st and 2d brigades—landed at Yokohama’s docks, accompanied by the 592d engineers boat and shore regiment. They went imme- |, diately to an assembly area north of Atsugi airdrome to await the signal to enter Tokyo. The airborne men ribbed the cavalrymen when they landed. The airborners put up a sign “welcome to Yokohama From the 511th Parachute Division.” The airborne band was at the dock, playing “The Old |’ Gray Mare,” but the cavalry countered, raising the Stars and Stripes, thus forcing the band to switch over to “The Star Spangled Banner.” Also arriving in Yokohaina were 85 nurses and four Red Cross work=ers—the first American women to jand with the occupation forces. They are the spearheads of 500 nurses who will work in American hospitals. Fears Malnutrition
Brig: Gen. George W. Rice, Carlisle, Ia. 8th army surgeon, meanwhile. disclosed that he expected to see many Japanese deaths on Honshu this winter as the result of malnutrition and exposure to the elements, He said no_allied military government relief system had been incorporated into MacArthur's command because officials figured that because of Japanese ability to keep fighting so hard they had no idea Sete! would be needed in the home

Yokohama, Japan's fifth city, without incident. Massing behind them at allied Pacific bases, were an estimated 1,500,000 ‘other men. They will sweep into Japan to enforce the terms of - unconditional surrender, signed yesterday by sullen repre-
servient to’ MacArthur, The arrival of the 13,000 cavalry troops brought to 25,000 the num-: ber of American occupation forces in Japan. They now hold a“otal of 700 square miles on Honshu. An 8th Army staff officer, explaining the comparatively small number, said “4t must be recalled these troop moves are being made two to six months ahead of schedule.” Kyushu Next Occupation of Kyushu—one of the four main Japanese islands to be brought under allied control—was scheduled to begin today, accord~ ing to the “invasion” program drawn up by Nimitz, Two allied planes were scheduled to land an advance party at Kanoya airfield. Main landings were to begin tomorrow by airborne troops, along with amphibious forces from the U. 8. 5th fleet under the command of Adm. Raymond A. Spruance. The latter force was to land at Takasu, four miles southwest of Kanoya. That leaves only the
to be occupied. Nimitz Is Firm Nimitz» Pacific fleet headquarters, ih a “guidance” order of the day to all naval occupation forces, said the surrender terms “will be uncompromisingly, enforced and justice will characterize the navy's ad-|V ministration, put the Japanese will not be allowed to forget they are defeated and are paying the penalty ‘for their aggression and treach-
“Obedience to orders will be strictly enforced and a firm hand,
Japanese, but there must be no needless oppression. Property rights will be respected. Looting and other acts ¢ontrary to the standards of human decency will not be tolerated.” Meanwhile, an sstimated 1,000,~ 000 or more half-starved and isolated Japanese troops from Singapore to Wake were rapidly giving up to American and British forces now that Japan's surrender was official. Still Fight in Burma
Reports from the fronts indicated the Japanese had surrendered or . were. preparing to surrender everywhere, with the exception of some 10,000 in Burma. Those forces, cut off from radio commu= nication with Tokyo and their area commanders, still were fighting against the British." Adm. Thomas C. Kinkaid's Tth fleet, carrying units of the 7th amphibious force, was roaming the Yellow sea, preparing to take over southern Korea. Russia will take northern Korea.
(Marshal Josef Stalin revealed :
for the first time that Russia was taking control of the strategic Kurile islands to give Russia new holds on the Pacific ocean and prevent the Japanese from ever using them as a base for attacks on the Soviet Union.) Heads French Force Gen, Jacques Leclerc, French representative at the surrender, said he was flying to Adm. Lord Mountbatten's Southeast Asia headquarters at Kandy ‘in preparation for leading a French {force into Indo-China. Tokyo was declared out of bounds to all Americans, including correspondents, but 8th Army Commander Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger announced he was ready fo send his men into the city any “time MacArthur gave the word. (A. B.C.

James Cadwell, provost marshall, said allied forces| occupied Yokohama without a single serious incident. “The Japanese have been extremely co-operative,” “On the whole I have been gratified with the good behavior of our soldiers and Japanese co-operation.”
Move Into Singapore
British naval units steamed into the straits of Malacca today at dawn and began to sweep a channel into Singapore, where the Japanese commander for southeast Asia is expected fo surrender as soon. as British warships reach the base in a few days.
