V-E Day Decree
Looms Tuesday as
Germans Surrender
(Continued from Page 1)
man troops" today.
The order for surrender was
given by Fuehrer Grand Admiral
Karl Docnitz, the broadcast said,
it said all German V-boats had
been ordered to return to their
bases. ',
Though the surrender order,
was not confirmed by allied sour-
ces, it presumably covered the;
almost 1,000,000 German troops1
still holding out in Norway,
Czechoslovakia! , Austria, Yugo
slavia, the French coast and the
I channel islands.
Qnly an hour earlier, the BBC
jn its onrush service broadcast a
report that the Norwegian gar
rison I had caDitulotcdl Speedy
confirmation of the surrender of
the other German forces was ex
pected.
Many V-Boati Affected
Some 300 or more U-boats
probably were immobilized by
the order, most of them in Nor
way and the remainder in iso
lated French ports. Upwards of
600 others carrying crews total
ling 20,000 men have been sunk
bv the allies during the war.
Doenitz's action ended nearly
six years of what probably was
the most destructive sea offen
sive ever waged.
Exact allied tonnage sunk by
U-boats has not been revealed,
but it probably was in eight fig -
ures. Victims rangea irom tramp
freighters to the British battle
shin Roval Oak.
Many ships were sent to the
bottom wunin sigm oi me
coast of the United States, but an
intensified air and sea patrol fin
ally drove the raiders back to
mid-Atlantic. i ;
Morse Proposes
Delay in Senate
Action oh Treaty
1 WASHINGTON, May 7 (UP)
Sen. Wayne Morse, R., Ore., pro
posed today that the senate de
lay consideration of the vvofld
security treaty until fall in order
to permit full discussion and un
derstanding" by the American
people.
Voicing a growing sentiment in
the senate for a slow down of
previously repotted plans to
place the treaty before the upper
house immediately upon conclu
sion of the San Francisco confer
ence, Morse declared in un inter
view: "This must be a people's treaty.
Unless it is, unless it is based up
on full discussion and under
standing by not only the govern
ments but the peoples of the
world, it will not be able to
stand the stresses which will be
placed upon it and ultimately it
will fail." '
Morse suggested that the treaty
be delayed in the senate at least
until September to permit pub
lic debate upon it throughout the
United Slates.
From other senators, however,
came objections to Morse's pro
posal.
Senate President Kenneth Mc
Kellar, D., Tonn., who was in the
senate during the Versailles
treaty fight uftcr the last war,
said the new treaty debate should
be concluded "just us soon as
possible."
"I recall that delays didn't do
the peace treaty after the last
world war any good," McKeUar
said, pointing out that delay gave
opponents time to fashion the re
servations which ultimately
brought about the treaty's defeat.

that Japan reserved the right to

Togo complained that the re

without first consulting Japan. He
also complained that the offer was
made lo the United States and
Britain, with whom Japan is at

to fight to death against Soviet
Russia.with whom "Japan is striv
