THE DAILY ADVANCE, ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. MONDAY EVENING, MAY 7. 1945. PAGE THREE German Subs Ordered To Cease Hostilities By Admiral Doenitz London, May 7—(AP)-—A broadcast on the Flens- . burg wavelength today said Germany had capitulated unconditionally. Admiral Karl Doenitz has “ordered the uncondition al surrender of all fighting German troops,” the broad cast said. This statement attributed to German Foreign Min ¬ ister Ludwig Schwerin the German people: “Our sympathy firstly goes to our soldiers. Nobody must Von Krosigk was broadcast to out de- SURRENDER (Continued From Page I) ture hard times? We must make right the basis of our nation. In our nation justice shall be the su preme law and the guiding prin ciple. “We must also recognize law as the basis of all relations between the nations: We must recognize it and respect it from inner convic tion. “Respect for concluded treaties will be as sacred as the aim of our nation to belong to the European family of nations as a member of which we want to mobilize all human moral and material forces in order to heal the dreadful wounds which the war has caused. “Then we. may hope that the at mosphere of hatred which today surrounds Germany all over the world will give place to spirit of reconcilation among the nations, without which the world cannot recover.” Bonner and Barden Fail Support Veto All the members of the North Carolina delegation except Gra- hant A. Barden .and Herbert C. Bonner voted to sustain President Truman’s veto of the amendment to the Selective Service Act which reaffirms the original Tydings amendment classifying agriculture as an essential industry. The President’s veto was sustained. Representative Harold Cooley caused a spontaneous outburst in the House when he called on members to support the President in this first “test of Congression al cooperation.” Republicans jeer ed while Democrats cheered as Cooley brought out this point. Cooley also said that agricul ture had been fully protected by the Tyding's amendment, which es- VE-DAY (Continued From Page 1) of Wilmington, Del., who won the Congressional Medal of Honor on D-Day last June.

Flens burg is just below the German- Danish border in an area sur rendered last week to Field Mar shal Montgomery. London author ities said it seemed unlikely that Montgomery had permitted the Germans to continue broadcasting from there, but there was no of ficial explanation. Radio monitors here said the station, if not act ually located at Flensburg, was certainly in that area. Following is the text of the Von Krosigk’s broadcast as recorded by the British Ministry of Infor mation: “German men and women.

"Agriculture is, of course, an es sential industry and under the Tydings amendment every regis trant engaged in the type of agri culture which is essential to the war effort is entitled to deferment. I know, and I suppose that every member of this House knows, that many registrants who were 'definitely entitled to deferment have been inducted. The discret ionary power with regard to de ferment and induction rests with local boards,” Cooley said. "Cer tainly General Hershey and his associates cannot be blamed for these inductions. I am sure that it will not be contended that all registrants engaged in agriculture are entitled to deferment. Only those who are engaged in the type of agriculture that is making an actual contribution to the war ef fort are entitled to deferment un der the Tydings amendment.

The broadcast followed Stock holm reports that German forces in Norway—where most of Ger many’s submarine bases are loca ted—are about to” capitulate. Doenitz’s order of the day em phasized that “continuation of the struggle is impossible from the bases that remain” and told the U-boat men that they are “laying down their arms after a heroic fight.” Ends After Six Years The text of the message: “My U-boat men, six years of U-boat warfare lies behind us. You have fought like lions. Crushing superiority has compressed us in to a very narrow area. Continu ation of the struggle is impossible from the, bases that remain. “U-boat men, unbroken in your I warlike courage, you ale laying 1 down your arms after a heroic fight that, knows no equal. In rev erent memory we think of our comrades who have sealed .their loyalty to the fuehrer and the fa therland with their death. “Comrades, maintain in the fu ture your U-boat spirit with which you have fought at sea bravely and unwlinchingly during long years for the welfare of the fath erland.

The aim is to break the latest big-three deadlock over Poland. It is part of a strategy sidetrack ing the Polish row from the main line of the conference in order that the big-three may try for maximum unity in designing a world organization for future peace. President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill are reported to have intervened directly with Mar shal Stalin.'- Russian foreign commissar Molotov is now slated to quit San Francisco for Mosvow around mid week. So long' as he is here, specu lation continues that Russia may give the conference a sensation by making known her future plans toward Japan. On the 'main line of conference developments, word spread today I that Stalin may have replied fa- I vorably to Molotov’s' request for instructions on the review and re gional arrangements amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks Charter. Perhaps the greatest developing issue now is the demands 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 agression. Unsettled Questions The Latin American nations also are reported upset by a big-power amendment which says that in se lecting the six non-permanent members of the Security Council, the world assembly may take into account their ability as warrior nations and also their loations. Britain backed this amendment and some of the Latin delegations contend it was designed to give such commonwealth countries as Canada and Australia an advan tage in getting council seats. How ever, it would also work to the advantage of the largest and more powerful Latin American, states and against the smaller nations. 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 in formed Stettinius and Eden that the Polish leaders had been ar rested on a charge of “diversion- ist activities against the Red Ar my.” Stettinius termed these men "prominent Polish democratic leaders” and said Eden and he had asked Molotov for a complete list of those arrested and a “full ex planation of this action.” Vice Premier Held 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 goverment also said the group was in Russia at the invit ation of a Russian officer for the purpose of discussing the Polish question. 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 west ern Allies are primarily concern ed with two things: 1. Finding out what evidence Russia claims to have against the arrested Poles, and 2. Getting assurance of the right to have observers present if and when they are brought to trial. J'ext of Amendments Stettinius issued the texts of the score of amendments on which the Big-Four had agreed and also the texts of two amendments which had British-American-Chin ese support but on which Molotov had reserved his opinion for the time being. His favorable reaction, however, Hertford, May 7—Chairman. R. M. Riddick, and his War Finance Committee launched the Seventh War Loan drive in Perquimans County here today, in an all out effort to meet the overall quota of $301,000 given this county. Of this $301,000, $130,000 must repre- I sent the purchases of series E bonds, which is the largest E bond quota ever given the county. In every previous war loan, the nation's Series E quota has been the same or reduced. But, in the 7th, it has been upped from two and one-half to four billion dol lars, a terrific, sixty' percent in crease. Chairman Riddick said today that the War Finance Committee is asking that a house to house canvass be made in each town ship, and that in this way the county will put the quota over by May 21. To stimulate sales of E bonds, the committee will form an “1800 Club,” any person in the county who purchases a $100 E bond is eligible to membership in the club. It has been figured out that if 1,800 persons purchase a $100 E bond, the quota can be met. The school children will put on a campaign for the sale of E bonds which will begin May 9 and con tinue through May 21st. The schools entered are the New Hope Winfall Central Grammar School, Hertford Grammar School, and the Perquimans County High School. Prizes will be awarded the school children; a $25.00 war bond to the student selling the largest amount of E bonds. To the high school student sell ing the largest amount in E bonds, a prize of $6.25 in war stamps. The Hertford Grammar School student selling the largest amount of E bonds, $6.25 in war savings stamps. To the Central Grammar School student at Winfall, the prize of $6.25 in war savings stamps. And to the New Hope School student selling the largest amount, $6.25 in war stamps. In this contest, no student may win more than one prize and sales must be made between May 7 and May 21. There will also be a prize of a $25.00 war bond for the adult in the county selling the largest amount of series E bonds, between May 14 and June .30. In launching this seventh and largest war loan campaign in Per quimans County Chairman Rid dick said: “The Government must have this money in order to furnish the boys on the fighting front with proper equipment, food and cloth ing, and in order to prosecute the war to a victorious end. "We urge the people to buy all the bonds they can during mis drive. Every dollar Invested now in war bonds does triple duty for us all. It's a fighting dollar, need ed to finance the Pacific war we still have to win. It’s a dollar tak en out of competition for scarce goods, a dollar that won’t feed the flames of inflation. And it’s a dol lar stored up to be used when it will really count, the safest in terest bearing investment that it is possible to obtain today.” Blum, Olliers Located With the Fifth Army in Italy, May 6—(Delayed) - A m e r i c a n troops have captured or rescued Leon Blum, Kurt Schuschnig, the Rev.
