leaders who surrendered their
million man force in China yes
terday were faced with the blunt
demand of the victorious Chinese
that they give up the Tokyo-ap

A few hours after Gen. Oka
mura, commander of all Jap
forces in China signed the surren
der document which formally
brought to a close the eight-year
Chinese-Jap war, he was handed
an order directing him to produce
Chen Kung Po and seven other
government officials who the Chi
nese said are “now hiding in
Japan."
Chinese authorities said the Jap
report that Chen committed sui
cide August 28, was false; that
he and his companions fled to
Japan.
