Relief from suspense given
through a Jap radio announce
ment of impending surrender
threw downtown Portland into a
riot of noiso early today as
thousands of servicemen and
their friends paraded up and
down city streets in a mass cele
bration of the inevitable victory
announcement from Washington.

helpless to handle the milling
and lusty-throated throngs and
seemed willing to join in the
merriment. City fire engines
had difficulty in reaching a
downtown fire after merrymak
ers mobbed the trucks forcing
them to a standstill.
A real "all-out" celebration
still awaited the official White
House declaration that peace was
a aeuniie reality.
