"Japan must see the inevitabil ity of defeat.” The Allies in the Pacific prob ably will not need as many troops as were thrown against Germany, Richardson said, and those com ing over from Europe won’t require any special indoctrination for fighting the Japanese. “Japan is like Europe," General Richardson observed, “in that it is civilized and not full of jungles.

It’s All Over But Not ‘Official’ LONDON, May 7—UP)—E. P. Stackpole, Press association corres pondent in the Parliament lobbies, wrote today that “although the war i6 over, I understand there will be no official announcement of this until tomorrow afternoon." The Exchange Telegraph com pany's political correspondent wrote: “The war in Europe is over. “The official announcement of that fact has been delayed and will not be made, it is under stood, until tomorrow afternoon.” MANY SHELBIANS Starts On Face One citizens rejoiced with the world to day at the close of the European war.

It was a prayerful group which met at the Cleveland county courthouse this morn ing at 11 o’clock to Join with all the ministers of the city, white and negro, in prayers of thanksgiving for victory.

C. ( NOTH) CAPTIVES ARE LIBERATED Daladisr, Reynaud, Gen. Bop, John G. Winont, Jr., Others Are Freed PARIS, May 7. —(IP)— Two form er French premiers, Edouard Dala dier and Paul Reynard, were en route to Paris today with a group of other notables after liberation from a Nazi prison by U. S. Seventh Army forces sweeping through Au stria. Reynard was quoted in a dispatch from Itter as saying he intended to write a book to prove more could have been done to stave off the fall of France. Among other prominent figures freed were Lt. Gen. Tadeusi Ko morowsi, the famed "General Bor’ who led the bloody Polish under ground uprising in Warsaw ; Gen Maurice G. Gamelln and Gen. Max ime Weygand and Lt. John G. Wi nant, Jr., son of the U. 8. Ambassa dor to Britain. EZRA POUND TAKEN Advices from Rome said Kurt Schuschnlgg, former Austrian chancellor; former French Premier Leon Blum and German pastor Martin Niemoeller had been in Al lied hands for at least two days. Dispatches from Rome also said that American poet, Ezra Pound, under indictment for treason, had been captured. Members of the French group returning to Paris included Leon Jouhaux, head of French trade unions; Franchols de la Rocque, head of the extreme right anti-Ger man nationalists, and Michael Cle menceau, son of the World War I statesman and a nephew of Gen. Charles De Gaulle. Existence of the Itter prison camp was revealed by the famous basque tennis ace Jean Borotra, who es caped and made his way to Ameri can lines. u.s I Starts On Fare One Issue now is the demand of the Latin American countries that the Pan-American security system be allowed to be Independent of the proposed world security council in using force to block aggression. The Latin American nations also are reported upset by a big-power amendment which says that in selecting the six non-permanent members of the security council, the world assembly may take into account their ability as warrior nations and also their locations. Britain backed this amendment and some of the Latin delegations contend it was designed to give such commonwealth countries as Canada and Australia an advantage in getting council seats. However, it would also work to the advantage of the larger and more hopeful Latin American states and against the smaller nations. IN TANGLE The Big Five countries—Russia, the United States, Britain, China and France—continued in a tangle over what to do about a plan for international trusteeships with an other meeting of their delegates scheduled today. Secretary Stettinius announced Saturday that Molotov had inform ed Stettinius and Eden that the Polish leaders had been arrested on a charge of “diversionist acti vities against the Red army.” Stettinius termed these men “prominent Polish democratic lead ers” and said Eden and he had asked Molotov for a complete list of those arrested and a “full ex planation of this action.” In London last night the bitter ly anti-Soviet Polish government in exile declared that its Vice Premier Jan Jankowski was one of those arrested by the Russians. The exile government also said the group was in Rusisa at the invita tion of a Russian officer for pur pose of discussing the Polish ques tion. It was reported here that pro tests and demands made by the United States and Britain were very strongly worded for diploma tic statements and that the wes tern Allies are primarily concerned with two things: 1. Finding out what evidence Russia claims to have against the arrested Poles, and 2. Getting assurances of the right to have observers present if and when they are brought to trial. Stettinius issued the texts of the scope of amendments on which the Big-Four had agreed and also the texts of two amendments which had British-American-Chi nese support but on which Molo tov had reserved his opinion for the time being. His favorable reaction, however, was forecast because of the nature of the amendments and because he had approved them in principle. One would authorize the word as sembly of nations to review any situation which might be a cause of war; the other would allow defense treaties made against the Axis enemies of this war to re main in force independently of the world security council until the governments concerned want to hand that particular security Job over to the council. Lusitania Sunk 30 Years Ago Today NEW YORK, May 7—(>**)—'Ger many s unconditional surrender to day came on the 30th anniversary of the U-boat sinking of the Lusi tania—Britain’s Empress of the Seas—which caused the death ol 1,198 persons, including 124 Amer icans.

By DeWITT MacKENZIE, AP Writer Now that the Allies have knock ed out Nazidom and we stop to check up on the great achieve ment, we find ourselves facing the staggering paradoxical problem of what sort of victory we have in hand—in short, whether we really have won the war. The measure of our success should soon be known, and it will lie in the extent of Allied cooper ation in the rehabilitation task. Six months ago Marshal Stalin said that there was no need to doubt that, if the fighting alliance of the Democratic powers had stood the trial of war that far, the more so would the alliance stand the trials of the concluding stage of the war. ALLIANCE STANDS Well, the Alliance has stood the trials thus far, but it is about to be put to even greater tests. The exigencies of a war of survival have provided bonds to hold us together, but with the coming of I “peace" we shall be plunged im mediately into a politico-economic wiess which will be filled with dangers which have no precedent. At the end of the last war the German armies laid down their arms and marched home to a country which was short of sup plies because of the naval block-1 ade, but didn't have a war scratch on it. Now Germany’s mechanical en-1 gineering, which was a vital partj of her life, was either been des- j troyed in the main or is to be j taken away from her. She also is | losing rich agricultural lands in East Prussia and Silesia. Her min eral wealth will be greatly reduced. LONG STRETCH Thus the Reich, which was an integral section of the European economic structure, is dropping out of this place and undoubtedly will come back over a long period of years in an entirely different role. So the specialists must now figure out a way to balance the economy of a Europe which is badly shot to pieces, quite apart from the German position. This situation is complicated by the political changes which are sweeping the continent, and espe cially by the political vacuum which will exist in Germany until she j can find her feet and decide what ' form of government she wants, j That will provide a staggering task | of diplomacy for the occupying powers—America, Russia, Britain and France. The Germans will be | bitter and sullen under defeat, and) difficult to handle. Churchill Truman Ready To Announce, Stalin Delays NEW YORK, May 7—(VP)—CBS Correspondent Edward R. Mur row reported from London that both President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill were prepared to broadcast the official news of the German surrender at noon Eastern War Time, but that they were delayed because Premier Stalin, who was to speak at the same time was not ready. White House Marks Time On Report WASHINGTON, May 7.— (IP) — The White House marked time to day on a momentarily expected victory in Europe proclamation — but arrangements were complete for President Truman to go on the air when it is issued. Broadcasting equipment was readied for use in the White House diplomatic room, usual site of pres idential radio addresses.

GERMAN Starfts On Page One_ thing: the idea of our unity, the idea of front comradeship, the idea of assistance to each other. The von Kroeigk broadcast said that “as leading minister of the Reich government,” Doenitz had appointed him for the purpose of “winding up all military tasks.” OFFICIAL GERMAN The “Flensburg radio" has been used • for several days for the is suance of German communiques and official German orders. Flens burg is just below the German Danish border in an area surren dered last week to Field Marshal Montgomery. London authorities said it seemed unlikely that Mont gomery had permitted the Germans to continue broadcasting from there, but there was no official explanation. Radio Monitors here said the station, if not actually lo cated at Flenburg, was certainly in that area. Following is the text of the von Krosigk’s broadcast as recorded by the British Ministry of Informa tion: “German men and women! The high command of the armed forces has today at the order of Grand Admiral Doenitz declared the un conditional surrender of all fight ing German troops. "As the leading minister of the Reich government which the Ad miral of the Fleet (Doenitz) has appointed for the winding up of all military tasks I turn at this tragic moment of our history to the German nation. HEROIC FIGHT “After a heroic fight of almost six years of incomparable hardness Germany has succumbed to the overwhelming power of her ene mies. To continue the war would only mean senseless bloodshed and a futile disintegration. "A government which has a feel-1 ing of responsibility for the future of its nation was compelled to act on the collapse of all physical and j material forces and to demand ol I the enemy the cessation of hostil j ities. It was the noblest task or Ad miral of the Fleet and of the gov ernment supporting him—after the terrible sacrifices which the war demanded—to save in the last phase of the war the lives of a maximum number of fellow coun trymen. "That the war was not ended immediately, simultaneously in the west and In the east, is to be ex plained by this reason alone. “We end this gravest hour of the German nation and its Reich. "In this gravest hour of the Ger man nation and its Reich we bow in deep reverence before the dead of this war. “Their sacrifices place the high est obligations on us. Our sympa thy goes first to or soldiers. It goes out above all to the wounded, the bereaved and to all on whom this struggle has inflicted blows. NO ILLUSIONS “No one must be under any il lusions about the severity of the terms to be imposed on the Ger man people by our enemies. We must now face our fate squarely and unquestionlngly. "Nobody can be in any doubt that the future will be difficult for each one of us and will exact sac rifices from us in every sphere. “We must accept this burden and stand loyally by the obligations we have undertaken. But we must not despair and fall into mute resigna tion. Once again we must set our selves to stride along the path through the dark future. These are the factors guaranteeing the best state: unity, Justice and lib erty. “From the collapse of the past, let us preserve and save one thing —unity, the ideas of the national community, which in the years of war have found their highest ex pression in the spirit of comrade ship at the front and readiness to help one another in all the distress which has inflicted the homeland. RETAIN UNITY “Shall we retain this unity and not again split up under the stress. (Two or three words indistinct) can we get over the future hard times? We must make right the basis of our nation. In o r nation Justice shall be the supreme law and the guiding principle. “We must also recognizd law as the basis of all relations between the nations: We must recognize it and respect it from inner con viction. “Respect for concluded treaties will be as sacred as the aim of our nation to belong to the Euro pean family of nations as a mem ber of which we want to mobilize all human moral and material forces tn order to heal the dread ful wounfls which the war has caused. “Then we may hope that the atmosphere of hatred which today 4 Furnished by J.

SCARCE SUGAR INVESTIGATED House Committee Trying To Relieve Sugar Situation WASHINGTON, May 7 —(/P)— The house food investigating committee summoned ace govern ment sugar experts into aecret session today as it strove to ward off a threatening mid-summer shortage. After it completes the sugar study—perhaps this week — the house group will turn its inquiry to eggs where members say they fear another major black market operation. "The way to kill off black mar kets and food-price inflation is a bundant production,” Committee Chairman Anderson (D-NM) told a reporter, “and the time to plan abundant production is now.” The committee called in Dr. Dennis A. Fitzgerald, War Food administration sugar specialist, and Dr. Joshua Bernhardt, of the agriculture department, to detail the government’s sugar program, the size of its stockpile and the crop outlook. Open hearings will begin Tuesday when the govern ment's story will be checked against the actual experience of the in dustry. From preliminary studies the committee already has developed these facts: 1. Vast sugar beet acreages in the United States are idle for be ing plowed under because growers can’t get field help. 3. Incoming shipments from Cuba will be low this year. 3. OPA already has trimmed summer-time allocations of do domestic sugar. Committeemen said unless some thing is done immediately the de veloping sugar shortage may sur pass in severity the current scar city of civilian meat supplies. The committee's sugar investi gation began on a different tack than that of its recently-complet ed meat probe. In that case the shortage was at its peak; the com mittee sought its causes in the hope of cracking the black mar ket. This time it wants to blue print a sugar program in time to ease the shortage of stifle black markets before they develop. : Reporting that unmistakable I black market signs already are ap ; parent in sugar. Anderson added that unless a solution is found- he expects the shortage to reach its most severe point during the fall j canning season.
