 Two hours later, the following Associated Press dispatch was re- ceived by the Empire:
 "WASHINGTON-President Tru- man tonight said runors of Ger many unconditional surrender were unfounded. He told con- ference of newsinen he had had Admiral William D. Leahy, his per sonal Chief of Staff, telephone Gen. Eisenhower and that the latter re- ported the rumor unfounded."
 But the East, Middle-Wes and West had started celebrating. Ac- cording to radio announcements, whistles were blowing, bells were ringing, and a generally big time was being enjoyed before the "un- founded" report put stop to fes- tivities.
 In Juneau, the report was re- ceived joyously, but there was no celebrating, as the false report of surrender spread.
 STARTED IN FRISCO
 The excitement on the surrender runor" came at the close of a day of mounting tension and activity in high places. Washington news men were called to a hurried con- ference and the President said there is no foundation for the rumor."
 The excitement hit peak when Senator Connally told reporter at San Francisco United Nations Conference that he expected mo- mentarily" an announcement of Germany's surrender with mo strings attached"
 Connally first asked that his name not be used Later after MT Trumans denial, he permitted his identity to be made known and his prediction of a mo- mentary surrender announcement.
 Meeting with reporters for the Associated Press, International News Service and the United Press, the Senator acknowledged he had authorized publication of the &C., count the Associated Press carried
 Senator Connally agreed with an Associated Press correspondent that he had information from sources not available to the newsmen.
 Meanwhile, celebrations that had started, slowly died down and left the world awaiting the outcome of the war in Europe.

He built himself a football team.
From funbling, bumbling set of
individuals who were extremely
lucky to gain a tie with Notre
