Army Without Head

Effect of the abolishment of the imperial headquarters was to deprive the Japanese army-—now in| the process of demobilization and! disarmament—of a central head and central planning agency. | It was exactly as though the] United States army forces in the Pacific had been abolished dnd Americans in all Pacific areas were! divided into separate local com-=| mands. The result probably will be to facilitate disarmament since it! ean now be handled with local area | commanders without working through a Tokyo headquarters. As late as last night, allied head-| - quarters had announced that de-| mobilization and disarmament of | Japanese troops was proceeding . smoothly and would be completed about Oct. 10,

MacArthur directed that “for the time being, radio broadcasts will be primarly of news, musical and entertainment nature,” and said that “news commentations and informational broadcasts will be limited to those originating at Radio Tokyo studios.”

other cities will be spot-checked. The MacArthur directive said that one of the subjects which cannot be discussed by the Japanese radio or press were “allied troops movements which have not been released officially, false or deceptive

quarters released a list of pending American troop movements—includ- - ing some that duplicated the schedule transmitted yesterday by Domel and Tokyo radio.

In the censorship directive, MacArthur reiterated that there would be no restriction upon Japanese freedom of speech,

Freedom of Speech

“The supreme commander for ‘allied power has decreed,” said the directive, “that there shall be absolute minimum of restrictions upon freedom of speech. Freedom of diseussion of matters affecting the future of Japan is encouraged by the allied powers unless such discussion {s harmful to the efforts of Japan to emerge from defeat as a new nation, ‘entitled to a place among peace-loving nations of the world.” “Joint army-navy task forces ran up the stars and stripes over the Katsuyama naval base at the
