WASHINGTON, May a. W.D -
President Truman today warned
both Germany and Japan that
they are committing national sui
eide by continuing a war which
for them is irretrievably lost.
In a statement announcing the
unconditional surrender Of all Ger
man forces in Italy, he voiced con-
fidence that the Axis will be com
pletely crushed and said that the
surrender in Italy is forerunner
of what can be expected soon Tor
the battered enemy forces in all
Of Europe.
'The collapse of military tyran.
ny In Italy is no victory in Italy
alone" he said, ''but part Of
the general triumph we are ex'
pectantly awaiting on the whole
continent of Europe. Only folly
and chaos can now delay the gen
eral capitulation of the every
where defeated German armies
And he said the surrender also
is a grim warning to Japan OF the
might that will be hurled against
her when the Allies finish the job
Of cleaning up her tottering AXIS
partner.

Truman Says Japanese;
Nazis Fight Futilely

LET Japan as well as Germany
understand the meaning OF these
events,' he said. UNLESS they are
lost in fanaticism or determined
upon suicide, they must recognize
the meaning of the increasing,
swifter-moving power now ready
for the capitulation or the destruc-
ton of the so-recently arrogant en-
emies Of mankind"
"a United Press dispatch from
Naples revealed that the German
armies of both northern Italy and
western Austria surrendered for
mally effective at 8 am. E.W.T.,
today. Mr.. Truman's statement did
not mention. enemy forces in Aus
tria.)
The President noted that the
first German unconditional surren-
der came ION the first European
soil to which, from the west, we
carried our arms and our deter
mination." Allied armies invaded
Sicily on July 9, 1913.

ton to Field Marshal Sir Harold

The Spanish foreign office an
nounced that the Frenchmen were
being held for disposition by the
Allies and Laval told the Spani-
ards that he would surrender only
to an Allied commission.
Accompanying Laval and Bon.
nard on the flight were Mrs. Law

Frenchmen named Neraud and
Gabolde; and two German pilots
Mrs. Laval was offered her free

The decision to intern the group
was taken after a two hour de
bate between Laval and the Span
ish authorities at Barcelona. Fran
cos original order was that the
Frenchmen be allowed to refue
their plane and be escorted by
Spanish fighter planes to the near

Laval, convicted and sentenced

WASHINGTON, May q R -
Concinced that Adolf Hitler really
is dead, President Truman acted
tonight to bring to swift justice
other leaders guilty of high crimes
against civilization.
The President told news con-
ference he had it on the best au-
thority that Hitler is no longer
alive. He didn't know how the
death occurred, he said, but was
glad that both der Fuehrer and
Mussolini were out of the way.
It means, the executive contln-
ued, that the two major war crimi-
nails of Europe do not have to be
brought to trial. But, he asserted
there are others and they must.
To that end, he appointed Su-
