Continuing, Mr.. Romeo explain

the man convicted predicated on
the fact that the testimony could
or should have been introduced

innocent, as was brought up at

Brauchitsch along with Field Mar
shal Won Rundstedt and Col. Gen.
Heinz Guderian as one of three
German generals who were strong
enough to assume control Of the
army upon the death of Hitler. Any
one of the three, he said, might seek
an immediate peace on almost any
terms.
The frontier reports said the
effort by Funk was broken up by the
Gestapo, who arrested two members.
Four others. including Funk and
Won Brauchitsch, escaped with the
aid of the Wehrmacht.
The German radio later in the
day, commenting on the Munich
disorder, charged that the attempt
Of few miserable traitors this
morning to broadcast over the Ger
man radio was nothing less than a
stab in the back-only criminals and
fools can wish an end of the war"
The Himmler report of a separate
peace with Britain and the United
States was regarded in some quar-
ters as desperate last-minute Nazi
attempt to sow dissension among
the Big Three. Mr.. Churchill,s
prompt disavowal of any separate
peace quickly dispelled any doubts
that the Big Three would carry
through together to the end.
Early editions of British Sunday
morning newspapers hailed the re-
ported surrender offer as sure
sign that the war was as good as
over in Europe.
This is practically the end" said
the London Sunday Dispatch.
Yesterdays sensational develop
ments in Germany mean the war is
as good as over" said the tabloid
London Sunday Pictorial. .
The fact that the reported peace
bid came from Himmler raised the
speculation here again that he either
had seized power from Hitler and
considers himself Fuehrer or that
Hitler is dead. Reports reaching
London from Stockholm said that
Hitler and Paul Joseph Goebbels
were shot three days ago.

Hotels. on hearing the news, closed
their taprooms, and some Of the
smaller drinking places in the down.
town area also closed their doors.
Some other hotels, after consulting
the Washington Hotel Association
decided that the evening was SO we'll
advanced that they would keep their
bars open until the midnight curtew
hours unless the crowds became too
boisterous.
The reactions Il crowds on the
streets were varied Some rushed
to lift glass in celebration. Others
gathered around automobile radios
waiting for more news. Still others
strolled in groups or stopped to ex-
change the latest rumor with other
pedestrians.
"Just another rumor," one sailor
was heard to scoff.
There's going to be a hell of a
lot of whoopee, an Army lieutenant
observed. They don't realize this
war is just half over. We've still
got to whip those Jap rats

companion explained that she had

Meanwhile. reporters who had
gone to the Pentagon Building and
the Navy Department found no un-
usual activity in either place. Only
those Offices where charwomen were
cleaning, or which always are open
on 24-hour basis, had lights burn

flcials of either department were on
hand.

out for any unusual disturbances.
Theaters Withhold Report.
No announcement of the peace
rumor was made in any of the
downtown theaters, but managers
stood by their radios, ready to pipe
in proclamation from the Presi-
dent whenever it was received. Most
houses already had prepared vic
tory trailers" to be flashed on the
screen whenever news of peace was
authenticated.
The Evening Star switchboard was
jammed with calls during the early
part of the evening. Many came
from women with sons or husbands
overseas, and their voices were
choked with emotion as they asked
confirmation of the peace rumors.
Several churches prepared to hold
special services tomorrow had the
news proved true. At the Washing
ton Cathedral, Dean John Wallace
Suter, jr. prepared to include in
the services a prayer of thanks
giving written in advance by Bishop
Angus Dun.

Reporters Crowd Oval Rsom.
The hastily called news confer.
ence at the White House was brief.
The disappointing news was given
to a crowd Of reporters who
thronged into the Oval Room Of
the White House expecting to hear
a proclamation on the end Of the
war in Europe.
Back of the President as he spoke
were Admiral Ernest j. King, Demo-
cratic National Chairman Robert
E. Hannegan, Matt Connolly. the
Presidents confidential secretary;
Col. Harry H. Vaughan, his military
aide, and other prominent figures.
The whole interview lasted little
more than minute and the re-
porters made wild dashes for their
telephones.
Shortly after the news conference
ended, Mr.. Daniels told reporters.
"The lids on" This signified that
he expected no further news from
the White House during the night.
The President remained at the
White House until 1920 am visit
ing with friends. The usual Secret
Service detail accompanied him as
he walked to Blair House.
Later, Mr.. Daniels told the press
that he wished there were some way
ito stop these rumors."
Full arrangements have been
made for the press to be informed
as sooon as there is any announce
ment to make" he said.
I'VE could save a hell of lot Of
time if everybody will remember
that. Arrangements have been made
for the White House press room to
be notified Immediately when there

of We day committees hurriedly
consulted on plans.
Meanwhile, news and radio men
hurried to the White House, the War
Department and the Navy Depart
ment Credence was lent to the
rumor by the fact that President
Truman had appeared at the Ex-
ecutive Offices. Reporters impor-
tuned the Presidents secretaries for
some authoritative word.

President Truman sent word for
the scores of reporters at the White
House to join him in his oval pri-
vate office and issued his denial.
Meanwhile. keyed-up city await
ed only White House confirmation
to begin rousing celebration. And
some didn't wait for that.
When word of the supposed Ger
man surrender reached the Del Rio
Club the orchestra played the ma
tional anthem and the merry
makers became silent. Then there
was wild applause. 1t was not until
after 10 pm. that they learned of
the denial.
Crowds celebrating at the Troika
went wild with joy, screaming.
shouting and singing. At the Treas
ure Island the people talked happily
but were somewhat restrained, watt
ing for official confirmation.
Directors of the Club 400 made
no announcement to the diners un-
til after the White House state
ment. However, news of the sup
posed surrender seeped through the
crowd earlier and there was a mild
celebration.

Sill Block Drive,
Headquarters Says
BY the Associated Press.

- eAAS <ASSoSASSSA kACSos
PARIS, April 28.-Supreme head
quarters declared today the French
were obstructing the American 7th
Army drive on the Nazis' Southern
Redoubt by occupying Stuttgart and
unless they moved out the Ameri-
cans would have a find "a less de-
sirable and less efIicient supply base.
At last reports the French 1st
Army. which captured the Wuert-
temberg provinces capital, was still
there, backed by the French Council
Of Ministers.
The council disapproved OF the
request to move out the troops on
the grounds that the Big Three had
not taken any action on Frances
postwar occupation zone claims in
Southwest Germany.
A supreme headquarters state
ment said the withdrawal was re-
quested by headquarters OF Gen.
Jacob L. Devers' 9th Army Group,
which embraces both the 7th Army
of 1t. Gen. Alexander M. Patch and
the French lst Army of 1t. Gen.
Jean de Lattre de Tassigny.
No Clash. &
Nothing in the nature of a clash
has been reported and the state
ment itself indicated that to avoid
one, the Americans might look else
where.
French officials took the position
that the Stuttgart incident at the
moment of the San Francisco Con-
ference serves to underscore Frances
unanswered request to the Big Three
for a clearly defined postwar occu-
pational zone, including policing of
the cross-Rhine country from the
Ruhr to Lake Constance.
The Paris press and radio rushed
to the support of the French posi-
ton.

frmed that 1T is now, more than
ever, necessary to defend Frances
