A Big-Three agreement put off the formal announcement of V-E Day until it can be proclaimed simultaneously by the major AlliesBritain, Russia and the United States. While this capital greeted news of final Nazi surrender calmly as just another battle wonthe biggest yet but not the lastthe President stuck so meticulously to the Big Three announcement agreement that it was never said in so many words that it is a V-E Day speech he will make. See TRUMAN rage 3 Boston and N. E. Await President's V-E Message The whereabouts of such war criminals as Himmler, Goering, even Hitler himself although be had been reported dead, were unknown or if they were known they had not been officially announced.

Germany's formal capitulation came at 2:41 a. rn. (French time) in the red Reims schoolhouse, headquarters of Gen Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allies of the west. The crowning triumph came just five years, eight months and seven days after Hitler invaded weak but proud Poland and struck the spark which set the world afire. It marked the official end of war in Europe, but it did not silence all the guns, for battles raged on in CzechoSlovakia.

There, Nazi Gen Ferdinand Schoerner, who has been designated a war criminal, defied the orders of Grand Adm Karl Doenitz, successor to the dead or missing Hitler, to lay down armes. But this forceall that remains of what once was the mightiest military machine on earthfaced inevitable liquidation or surrender. Presumably, the victorious powers soon will label these troops guerrilla outlaws, subject to execution unless they yield. The only details of Germany's ignominious end came from Ed Kennedy, chief of the Associated Press staff on the western front, who was the first to flash the word the world had long awaited. See VICTORY rage a (KENNEDY'S STORY APPEARS ON PAGE 3) LONDON, May 7 (AP)--Gen Boehme, German Commander-inChief in Norway, broadcast an order of the day over the Oslo radio tonight commanding his troops to lay down their arms in obedience to Foreign Minister "Von Krosigk's announcement of unconditional surrender of all German fighting troops." (The Swedish home service reported by telephone from Oslo that an Allied naval force of 48 ships was reported sighted at the entrance of Oslo Fjord today and that landing of Allied troops in Norway was expected momentarily, according to the United Press.

(Indic Quisling, the Nazi puppet Premier of Norway, simultaneously appealed to Norwegians to maintain calm and order "in this grave hour" and to avoid everything which might endanger public security. See NORWAY Page 2 f.nNnclisr ILE Day at a Glance Reich Gives Up; Begs World for Reconciliation LONDON, May 7 (AP)German Foreign Minister Count Ludwig Schwerin von Krosigk announced Germany's unconditional surrender to his countrymentoday and summoned them to a new life, guided by respect for internal and international law so that "we may hope the atmosphere of hatred which today surrounds Germany all over the world will give place to a spirit of reconciliation among nations without which the world cannot recover."

V-E Day today should President Truman, speaking over the radio at 9 o'clock this morning, confirm the unconditional surrender of Germany and designate today as the day of Victory in Europe. Preceded by weeks of rumors and the gradual surrender of German armies.

the Associated Press story yesterday aftetnoon of the ft a 1 capitulation of Nazi Germany was received as rather an anticlimax by Boston. although New York and other large cities of the nation greeted the news with cheers, heavy drinking and showers of confetti and ticker tape. But on the assumption that l'this Is it" and that President Truman's broadcast today would contain officially the long-awaited announcement of peace in Europe, Boston police were alerted in extra force, plPrtg for church and public observances were readied, and many stores and taverns boarded their windows for possible wild celebrations by workers on a holiday spree.
