TERMS OF SURRENDER MANILA, Aug. 24. General MacArthur has granted several Japanese requests to modify details of the surrender terms but will probably reject a sugestion that the American forces should use Bank of Japan money instead of occupation yen, reports a National Broadcasting Company’s broadcaster. The main line of Japanese ferries will continue operation in the handling of essential civilian traffic and a large share of the Japanese troops evacuating the Tokio evacuation area. General MacArthur will excuse voyages by small ships in violation of the surrender terms if the ships are not equipped with wireless. The Japanese have sent a message to General MacArthur asking what currency was to be used in Japan by the occupation forces. “We hope they will use Bank of Japan notes, which we are ready to deliver in Atsugi, Yokohama and Yokosuka,” said the message.
