forces were only 12h miles from Prague at a. m. and since may have broken into the carital, key to Germany's southeastern Redoubt. More than half of Prague was re- ported in the hands of Czechoolo- yak patriots.

 Details Lacking
 Details of the surrender ot the German garrison in Norway were lacking. but Stockholm dispatches said Hans ThomSen, German am bassador to Sweden, was believed to have delivered the documents of equalization to Allied legations il the Swedish capital this morning
 Thomsen was said to have jour neyed across the SWedish-NoI wegian border to Lillenammer last night to confer with Gen. Franz Boehme, German commander in Norway and ReichScommiSsar Josef rerboven.
 Arrangements for the surrender presumably were completed at the Lillehammer conference. Included in the equalization presumably were between 200 and 300 German sub maIlnes and number of surface Warships that had sought refuge from Allied bombs in Norwegian fjords.
 The surrender was believed to nave been made pointly to United States. Britain and Russia. BEG said Marshal Sir Bernard L. Mont gomery rejected German offer to surrender to the western Allies alone and informed the enemy that any offer must be to Russia as we'll euaoi vbgkqj vbgkqj VI pu
 Vldkun Quisling, premier of the Norwegian puppet government, and other high Nazi leaders also held lengthy conferences at the Royal Castle at Oslo over the weekend, Stockholm said.
 There were some reports that the Germans were seeking to arrange to surrender enmasse to neutral SWed- en for internment. German soldiers have been SuTendering in large groups to Sweden for a number of months.
 Informed CzechoSlovak sources in London said it was entirely pos slble'' that tank vanguards of Lieu tenant General George s. Patton S American Third Army already were in Prague this afternoon.
 The Czechs said they had reliable information that Patton'S forces were only 12 1-2 miles from Prague at 6 a. m. However. they added that German troops on the west bank of the Vlatava river bisecting the cap- ital were between the Americans and Czech patriots in the eastern portion of the city.
 The eastern or newer part of Prague was said to be held firmly by the Patriots. Thus the Germans out on the west bank faced inmi- nent entrapment between the Pa- triots and the Third Army.
 Official American accounts of the Third Army's progress ran far be- hlnd those from Patriot sources.
 A dispatch from the Third Army front said three columns were con- verging on Prague One was 50 miles southwest of the capital after cap- turing PilSen, home of the Giant SkOda arms works.
 Another, from the Fourth Arm ored Division, advanced 25 miles to Brez, 48 miles southwest of Prague and A miles southeast of Pilsen. and a third, also from the Fourth Armored Division, entered Boscho- Witz, 52 miles southwest of Prague and Al miles southeast of Pilsen.
 All three columns were meeting lltle or no resistance.
