NUREMBERG, Germany, Aug. 16 This town is really musclebound. Soldier, sailor and marine athletes from all over the European Theater of Operations are here. They've been participating in some "G-I Olympics" which were held at Soldiers Field, formerly known as the Nurnberg Stadium. In spite of the rain, the guys set some mar velous records. The day was there was wonderful. During the meet they announced Japan had offered to surrender. Those boys in the stadium rose 25 feet in the air and yelled for 20 minutes What a thrill it was to hear those American cheers for victory in a place where Adloph used to hold yearly Heiling practice.
 It was really a pleasure to see the bomb job that had been done here in Nurnberg. It's a sort of Berlin (jg) town. It now looks like an American Legion convention had just left. We were scheduled for big show in the stadium this eve- ming, but were rained out, so we did two performances in the opera house which was leaking like vic- tory bucket. The audience didn't ap- plaud-they splashed. A lot of type es came here for the trackmeet and tonight all the show business char acters around and about, gathered in my room dt's the only one with a roo) for big bull session. The watchword of all the Broadway boys in the army is, Don't Knock the Street" And the conversation sounded like a page of Damon RunYon read backwards. My room

New England War Workers Drow Praise
 N-J Day Brings
 Commentator
 From Col. Hurd

The end of this, tho greatest war m history, came with such sudden ness that we have not yet been able to grasp the full meaning that it is all over. Our people, both in the Chemical Warfare Service, itself, and in the many hundreds of war plants in New England engaged in making war material for CWS, have been working at top speed in getting our greatest incendiary bomb and 4.2 mortar shell production since Pearl Harbor.
 It has been through the splendid cooperation of New England man. agement and the untiring efforts of New England war workers that we have been able to make outstand- ing production records and overseas shipments, enough and on time. We shall be eternally grateful for their contribution to our Service.
 We know that the millions of fire bombs produced here and delivered to the Pacific have hastened the equalization of the Japanese empire. We were ready to produce in the next twelve months the greatest weight of incendiary. bombs in our history, some 800,00O tons or, in long count, some 150,000,00 fire sticks. These alone would have left nothing but charred ruins of the Japanese mainland as well as Japanese-oc- cupied territory.
 We were ready with huge quantiN ties of toxic gases in the form of shells, bombs, and airplane spray tanks. Our GI's were provided with the latest types of gas protective equipment-all just in cas. the Japs resorted to gas warfare as one of their last desperate measures.
 But the end has come, dramatic ally and suddenly, but not too soon for any of us.
 We are now devoting our entire organization to the speedy termina- tion of war contracts. It is our ex- pectation to clear plants, without delay, of Government equipment and materials, settle the claims of the contractors, and allow quick re- conversion to civilian production and the return to the peaceful way of life.
