FORMER NAzI MARSHAL IS
 IN CUSTODY
Field Marshal KesseIrinq Also Seized by Am
 erildn Doughboys

NEW YORK, May 9-American soldiers are said to have captured Hermann Goering, the first really big fish among the Nazi hierarchy to be seized by the Allies.
 A broadcast (NBC) from Allied Supreme Headquarters in Paris says that Goering, the discredited Reichs Marshal and leader of the Luftwaffe, was seized by troops of the United States Seventh Army.
 Along with Goering, according to the American broadcast, the Tanks captured Field Marshal Albert Kesselring-the man who succeeded Field Marshal yon Rundstedt as commander in the west, and who in his time stopped the Allies in North Italy.
 Goering told the Americans that he had been sentenced to death by Adolf Hitler, but that he had escaped from Berlin and that he had been hiding out since last March in the general area where he was seized by the United States Seventh Army forces. There was no immediate indication just where and under what circumstances Goering was captured.
 When the Nazis began the war with their march into Poland, Hitler proclaimed Goering as his successor. But as the Luftwaffe fell on evil days, Goering's power waned and Heinrich Himmler re-

Adj of Surrender Is
 Given, Berlin
Ceremony Takes Place in Cold, Barren Hall in
 Suburb of City

BERLIN, May 9-The final act of surrender by the German armed forces took place this morning at 12:l6 a. m, Central European Time, t6:16 p. m Eastern War Time) Harold King, representing the com bined Allied press, writes from Berlin that with this surrender the Nazi military leaders acknowledged that their forces had been beaten to their knees. King adds that it will be difficult for postwar Ger many to recreate legend of the so-called invincible army being stabbed in the back.
 The ceremony took place in a gray house in Karlshorst, suburb of Berlin. It was there that the surrender document was signed by three top-ranking officers of Ger many's defeated land, sea and ail forces.
 The room-a large, plainly fur nished hall-was decorated with the national flags of the three vic torious powers.
 On the stroke of midnight, Soviet Marshal zhukov entered the hal with British Air Chief Marshal Sil Arthur Tedder. The two sat dowr at a long table with the other Allied officials, who included the Commander of the American Stra. tegic Air Forces in Europe, Gen Carl Spaatz.
 At 10 minutes past 12, the Ger mans were led in on orders ol Marshal Zhukov. There was abso- lute silence. Zhukov asked tht Germans if they were ready tC sign. Flash bulbs exploded ane movie cameras clicked, as Fielc Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Admira Gen. von Friedeburg and Col. Gen Stumpf signed for the beater enemy.
 At 12:45 a. m., it was all over
 Thus, Germanys unconditiona surrender was ratified, in a cold barren hall in ruined Berlin.

 Ranking U. s. Commanders talk ed openly today of the forthcoming invasion of Japan as returning American pilots reported the crip- pied enemy air force failed to send single interceptor against their raids on Nipponese airdromes and transportation lines from the home islands to the Indo-China border.
 Plans are in the making Tor us to invade Japan said Fleet Adm. Chester w. Nimitz. who added that Navy planes would be flying contin- ually over Japan today if he had three times his present force of carriers.
 Japanese ground forces, only po- tent stumbling block to conquest of Japan, made their first successful counter attack in the Southern Philippines; held U. s. lines on rain soaked Okinawa; retreated on Tarakan off Borneo and lost 1000 of force of 4,000 in fighting out i of trap in China.
 The Mikado's Air Force has been wasted away trying to stem the invasion of Ckinawa Island, top rung on the island ladder to Japan.
 Many Nip Planes Lost
 More than 5000 planes have been lost in these abortive attempts, leading Adm. Teijiro Toyoda, Nip pon's Munitions Minister, to call on the Japanese aircraft industry to use materials ''lavishly and liberally- to turn out defense planes quickly
 Nipponese attacks on the U. s. Third Fleet, broken off Tuesday for l the first time in more than week. have sunk 26 small ships. In to- days communiques alone, American Commanders announced g Japanese ships were sunk or damaged. most ly off the coasts of Japan and Hon. shu
 The U. s. Fourteenth Air Force i'll China got the rest.

 No Opposition
 Most striking of all the reports of lack of opposition came from Super fortress crews who said they didn't even see anti-aircraft fire in yes- terday's raids on Kyushu, southerps most island of Japan which has been sending suicide planes against Okin- ava.
 Tokyo claimed suicide planes were at it again yesterday, sinking a cruiser and damaging two other U. s. ships.
 The first Japanese counter-attack on Mindanao1 in the Southern Philippines smashed through thin American line near Davao, islolat- ing battalion of the 24th Division.

 TO RUN AGAIN;
 PLUS NEW CARS
Moderate Reeonversion Plans Revealed Today
 by MobiIizer vinson

WASHINGTON, May 9-Wartime controls over production, rationine and pricing will be continued until Japan is defeated, the Administra- ton said today, but some recon version will start immediately"
 Highlights of the program. as outlined at a White House news conference by War Mobilizer Fred M. Vinson, were:
 Immediate suspension of the ban on horse and dog racing, and lifting of the midnight entertain ment curfew, effective tonight.
 2-Release of enough materials and manpower, no longer needed for the Pacific war, to produce a few automobiles within six to nine months.
 3-Some prospect of an early in- crease in gasoline allowances for civilian motorists.
 4EVinson said he, saw no indi- cations of any early general i'm provement in the civilian food supply situation.
 5-No general reduction in taxes until final victory is won.
 As to the armed forces, Vinson said:
 Prosecution of the war against Japan must take precedence over all considerations, but men and women who can be spared from the Army will be demobilized' The Navy does not plan to demobilize until Japan has been defeated, he added.
 He said the Army expects to re- duce it's strength by 1,300,000 in the next 12 months. but this will have to be done slowly at first.
