rV-E Day in Bend
Quietly Observed
Work and reverence took the
place of jubilation in Bend today
as V-E day was officially pro
claimed throughout the world.
Only noticeable evidence that
the Allied armies had finally been
successful in bringing about the
unconditional surrender of the foe
in Europe was the gentle waving
of flags on downtown streets, and
from staffs on ma,ny homes.
Many persons, 'more humble
than joyous, offered prayers of
thanksgiving in churches, with
the First Lutheran church sched
uling special V-E day services for
tonight. The Bend Ministerial as
sociation announced that general
observance of the European vic
tory will be held in the city's
churches next Sunday.
Hundreds of Central Oreeon
parents and brothers and sisters
were not unmindful that their
loved ones are still engaged in the
Pacific in bloody battles with the
Japanese; and that most of the
members or Bend s own Company
I were still locked in death grips
with Hirohitos legions.
Nippons Are Next
For most Central Oregon fami
lies, victory is not to be celebrated
until the Nipponese have been
likewise forced into an uncondi
tional surrender.
An air of unusual quiet seemed
to pervade the downtown atmos
phere today, as business houses,
the banks, government offices
and other establishments conduct
ed business as usual.
. An announcer with a micro
phone from radio station KBND
stood on a downtown corner seek
ing to get expressions from pas
sersby. The usual answer he got
was:
"Too busy. I'm going to work!"

THE
Truman Reads V-Day Message
As Ram Beats AgalnstWindow
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Proa Staff Correspondent)
Washington, May 8 ill") Presi
dent Truman; made history this
rainy morning In his oval office,
reading his V-E day proclamation
not only to an extra-early press
conference, but to his cabinet,
congressional leaders, and his
family.
Then he read it to the nation
from the broadcasting room in
the executive office basement.
To the assembled reporters, ad
ministration leaders, Mrs. Tru
man and daughter, the president's
remarks probably sounded even
better than they did to the radio
audience.
He interpolated some extra and
exuberant observations as he
went along.
Rain was falling In a downpour,
but the apple-green office was
brilliantly lighted, not only by
electricity, but by the presidential
smile. Mr. Truman stood in his
double-breasted black suit, shirt
with hard collar, and sober blue
tie. He remarked that he didn't
want his words released until
after 9 a. m. and said he thought
he'd better read his proclamation.
He said not to worry. It would
take only-seven minutes.
"The flags of freedom fly all
over Europe," he began.
Then he smiled and added that
something else was being cele
brated, .too. his birthday; his
61st.
Mrs. Truman, clad in a black
suit and a tourquoise blouse,
smiled at her husband and he
went on reading. Then he said he
had another little release, a small
document which would give the
Japs some Idea of what they can
expect from now on.
The allies, Mr. Truman said,
are turning loose upon them the
Victory in Europe
Costs 185 Billion
Washington, May 8 1P The
victory in Europe cost the United
States about 800.000 casualties
and more than $185,000,000,000
(B).
These are the best conservative
estimates available now. It will
be a long time before the final
figures are worked out.
A United Press survey showed
today that this country's share of
the cost of crushing the nazl bid
for world domination will exceed
by three or four times the cost
of world war I and its after
math whether the measuring
standard is casualties or dollars.
The cost in money will be in
creased in future years by many
billions of dollars through inter
est on government borrowings
and benefits to veterans. The cost
in broken lives, too, will be paid
over a long period.
War Cost Heavy
Most of the government ex
perts consulted in the survey
Deuevea tnat at least two-thirds
of the dollar outlay since de
fense preparations began in 1940
went directly or indirectly into
the war against Germany and
Italy. This is based on the alloca
tion of men to the two major
spneres or combat. On the basis
of the best available information,
two U. S. fighting men were
sent to Europe for each one sent
to the Pacific.
The cost estimate includes not
only guns, bullets, planes and
tanks, plus the plants to make
them, but also such items as lend
lease expenditures, training costs,
merchant ships, transportation.
subsistence and literally thou
sands of articles and services that
never appeared on the field of
battle but were vital to victory.

As he talked, he was forced toi
blink. The photographers stood
on chairs around the rear of thel
room and recorded the historic!
moment on celluloid. Their photo '
flash lamps made a series of;
flashes, like a street car trolley !
on an icy wire. j
The president looked up from
his manuscript. He said he'd been ;
ready for this announcement since j
a week ago Saturday, and an-;
nounced soberly that America has
enormous problems before her.
He. used the Hollywood terrific
and he spoke it soberly. ,
He said we could make the
world a happy place in which to
live, or we could ruin it, depend
ing on whether we worked, with
our allies in peace as we have in
war. Then he took up his script1
again: . j
"The victory won in the west,"
he said, "must now be won In the
east."' ' .
He thought a moment and said
he hoped that this thought could
be emphasized time after time. I
Back to his speech, he read, the j
pnrase: "The dictators once
thought us soft and weak."
And he wondered, he said with
a smile, what the Germans think
about us now.
Next Sunday, he said would be
dedicated to prayer; particularly
appropriate, too, he added, be
cause it is Mother's day.
Mr. Truman said that he'd sent
congratulatory cables to Winston
Churchill, Marshal Stalin and
generals Eisenhower and De
Gaulle. He started to read them,
but settled for the one to Eisen

defeated within nine months.
