FBI Probe News Flash
(Continued from Page D

President Truman went to bed about an hour ago. If anything comes in he'll be notified There is absolutely no word of truth in the report that the president has an- nounced that Japan has accepted the Allied surrender terms"
 Nation Celebrates
 The flash set off celebrations in some places. In Washington a crowd of 1000 in front of the White House sang patriotic songs. In New York whistles .lew and motorists sounded their horns. A speech which Prime Minister Mackenzie King had prepared for the day of victory over Japan was broadcast by transcript tion in Canada.
 After it was established that the flash did not originate in the Wash ington bureau, the UP in New York sent a message to bureaus ordering the impounding of all teletype tape. It also asked bureaus to investigate and report any evidence they found indicating that someone had cut in on the Up circuit with the pur- pose of disseminating false infor- nation. It was possible that the impounded teletype tape would pro- vide a clue.
 ATT Investigates
 The American Telephone and Telegraph Co.,, from which the UP leases its wire, started its own in- veStigation.
 The southern circuit of the UP wires runs from Portland, Me. through Boston, New York, Phila- delphia, Washington, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Miami, Fla, and New Orleans.
 There are 12 points along the circuit which regularly send news. Presumably the flash was fed into the UP circuit from one of those points, although it would be pos sible for a person with sufficient mechanical knowledge to hook an- other teletype onto the UP wires and send few words which would appear to come from a regular bur- eau point.
 Two other United Press newspa- per circuits operate out of New York. One is a through trunk wire to the west coast. The other is called the city circuit and carries news to UP clients in the metropol- itan area. The flash was taken of the southern circuit and relayed in- stantly by word of mouth on both the west trunk and the city circuit. In addition 1t was placed on the UP wire which carries news to radio stations.

 It will be at least year before the total cost of World War II can be known.

New Bern Baptists Plan
Unique War Memorial

NEW BERN, Nov. 30. "A unique
type of war memorial is being plan
ned by members of the First Bap-
fist church of New Bern. under the
direction of their pastor, the Rev.
Thomas W. Fryer.
In memory of their four men,
bers who lost their lives in service
during World War II, the Baptists
are raising fund to pay for send
ing two missionaries to foreign
fields.
Two of the Baptists young men
were killed in Europe, and one of
the missionaries will be sent in
that direction; the other two made
the supreme sacrifice in the Paci-
fic, so the other missionary will
be sent to the Far East.
