The w Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON IL. Col. Robert g. Allen nov on active service with tho Army.e

SAN FRANCISCO-By all odds the most skillful diplomacy game at this conference has been played by dapper, dignified Anthony Eden of Great Britain. He has managed to come out as the friend of all sides, and most important of all, the mediator between Russia and the United States.
 In other words, Eden has com- pletely reversed the previous role of President Roosevelt, who up until his death had acted as the mediator between Churchill and Stalin. aA
 The Churchill -Stalin rivalry was not merely personal. It was his toric. It was based not only on the fact that Churchill just after the last war. urged the sending of Allied troops into Russia to help the White Russian Generals over throw the embryo Bolshevik re- girne, but that he flirted with the Cliveden Set which in 1889 advo- cated war between Russia and Germany while England Sat on the side lines. A.
 This was the basis for the per- sonal suspicion between him and Stain. But historically, Churchill was carrying out century void British policy of isolating Russia. For 100 years, the country with the greatest land mass in the world, Russia, had been kept without a warm-water seaport by Brittsin, the country with the greatest navy in the world.
 That rivalry was the reason for the Anglo-Japanese alliance, where by the British, working through Japan, helped to stop Russia from getting Manchuria and a warm water port on the Pacific.
 That rivalry was behind Britain's sphere of influence in Persia (now Tram to prevent Russian use of the Gulf of Persia. That rivalry was also the cause of the Crimean War in which the British Fleet and British troops actually landed on the same spot where Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt later held their Yalta Conference and waged a bloody battle to prevent the Czar from coming down to the Darde- nelles and getting an outlet through the Mediterranean.

sTALIN's ANNOUNCEMENT

LONDON, May 9-Premier-Mar- shal Stalin tonight issued his final Order of the Day to the Red Army and Navy, announcing the uncon- ditional surrender of Germany, and ordered triumph salute of 30 salvoes from 1000 Moscow guns.
 The order followed shortly after Stalin himself broadcast to the Russian people, and declared Ger many's final act of surrender in Berlin lis not only piece of paper but a true equalization of Ger many" forced ito her knees by the Red Army and by the troops of our Allies"
 Still earlier, he announced the liberation of Prague at 4 a. m. today, and for that ordered a sa- lute of 24 salvoes from 324 guns.
 (FCC monitors in New York said Stalin declared the end of the war would bring long period of peace for Europe.)
 Stalin's speech, lasting five and one-half minutes, made no refer ence to Germany's only remaining ally. Japan, or to the conflict en- gazing the United States and Great Britain in the Pacific.

TRU5TEE5HIp
 ISSUE STILL
 NOT SETTLED
Pan-Ameritan Security Is Other Big UnsoIved
 Point dt Meet
By John M. Hightower Associated Press Correspondcnt)

SAN FRANCISCO, May = The United States is seeking an agree ment on control of lands seized in both world wars which will allow the Army and Navy to set up bases at any point in the world con- sidered vital to United States se- curity.
 The question involved = labeled here one of trusteeship of territory seized from the enemy, mandated after the first World War or in capable of f-government--is still a point of controversy between the Big Five powers. It is one of the two most critical issues remaining before the United Nations Con- ference upon the departure today of Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov.
 The other issue is how to dove tail the Pan-American Security System, recently worked out at Mexico City, into the Security Council of the proposed world or ganization.
 The American delegation is sharply divided on this question at the moment. President Truman may have to make the final decision.
 Molotov Leaves
 Molotov, whose two weeks stay here has been marked by several stormy sessions over Poland, White Russia and the Ukraine, and Ar gentina, leaves the conference in an atmosphere of big-power har- mony that few would have been willing to forecast within a few days ago. The Soviet Ambassador to Washington, Andrei Gromyko, takes over chairmanship of the Russian delegation.
 The presence of the Soviet For eign Minister for the first two weeks is credited with having speeded the conference through the first phase of big-power agreement. A brief session of the Big Five" last night marked his last official participation.
 U. $. Takes Stand
 It was there that Stettinius re- portedly said that despite the re- turn of Molotov, and possibly of other Foreign Ministers to their capitals, the United States intends to stand by it's agreements already made on basic changes in the Dum- barton Oaks plan and intends also to consult fully on other issues as they arise.
 The Commissar's last public &C., ton here was V-E Day radio speech in which he said the United Nations must consolidate their vic- tory" over Germany flor the sake of the welfare of nations and of the cultural development of man. kind"
 Polish Issue
 His leaving removes from the immediate conference scene efforts to resolve the Anglo-American- Soviet dispute over Poland. The United States and Britaish Am bassadors to Moscow, w. Averill Hartman and Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, also fixed today for their de- parture.
 Assuming some Russian response to British and United States re- quests for information on l6 ar rested Polish Underground leaders, it is expected that the two am- bassadors and Molotov will try to renew in Moscow their efforts to have Poland's Warsaw Government ,reorganized.

His Rifle, Bdyonei to Garry Burden-FIdme Throw
 CTS Are to Be Used

Associated Press War Correspondent

Associated Press War Corrcspondent
 WASHINGTON. May 9.-The tank carried the load in the European war: in the Pacific, 1t will be the Doughboy and his bayonet
 That is the Army's view of the task ahead.
 War Department authorities. turn ing immediately from the jubilance of VIE Day to the Grim business of eliminating the Japanese, informally sized up the problem this way:
 Europe was tank country, for such end-run Generals as Patton Hodges and Simpson, with wide flanking movements, big pincers op- Ierations and lightning stabs.
 The Pacific is totally different The home islands of Japan do moi lend themselves to tank warfare. Il is questionable whether even tho broad plains of China, do.
 To Use riame- -Inrowers The principal tank weapon agains the Japanese will be--in fact, al. ready is--the deadly flame -throwel on wheels. It has turned out to bt | the best disintegrator of pill boxe after anti-tank guns are knocked out.
 But in campaign where the ter rain is overcome by the yard in stead of by the mile. it is the foot slogging Doughboy with his rifle ano bayonet who must carry the burden
 Different Warfare
 The wide difference in the type oi warfare ahead also brings up the question of what jobs await those tank generals who fought them selves out of a job in Europe. There has been no sign yet of future as- signments for Supreme Allied Com mander Eisenhower, General Omar Bradley, or the Patton Hodges Simpson trio
 There has been speculation thai the Pacific team would be three way affair at the top with Genera Joseph w. Stilwell = now Army Ground Forces Commander-driv ing into China; Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur into Japan, and Admira Chester w. Nimitz providing tht Navy Transport and Air Cover There may be places directly be. heath them for the successful Flu. ropean Generals, including per. haps Britains Field Marshal Der, hard Montgomery, whose dogget line-bucking tactics might be jus the prescription for the land opera tions.

Air Forces
 Are 10 Hit
 Japs Hard
Complete Units Used in Europe 10 Be Trans
 ferred 10 Pacific
By Al Dopking

GUAM, May 9--Plans already are underway to transfer U. s. Euro pean air forces to the Pacific for use against Japan, It. Gen. Barney Giles, new commander of the Army Air Forces in the Pacific, disclosed today
 Predicting steadily increased tempo against Nippon, Giles said the time is not too distant when more bombs will be showered on Japan than were used in attacks on Germany.
 Giles, who also will serve as Deputy Commander of the Twen- tieth Air Force, succeeds Maj. Gen. Willis H. Hale, acting commander since March 3, when It. Gen. Mil lard F. Harmon disappeared during Pacific flight. Hale is to be given an undisclosed important air as- signment.
 Attacks From Air
 Air attacks against Japan will be increased sharply with re-deploy- ment of European theatre crews and airplanes, he said, The 52-year-old Giles formerly was deputy commander of U. S. Army Airforces under Gen. Arnold.
 The new Pacific Air Chief. who observed first-hand what happened to Germany under sustained bomb ing, predicted Japan would lend itself to destruction faster.
 We don't plan on the Japanese capitulating until they are thor oughly licked" he explained. We are preparing for full war out here.'
 Complete Transfer
 Giles said many air wings from Europe would be transferred as complete units, although some would be re-equipped with super range B-29's. He added that B-29's and B-17's both would figure prom inently in future air poundings of Japan.
 The biggest need in the Pacific now, Giles said, is the development of bases for new units. Enlargement of existing bases also is planned.
 We will use all land masses close to Japan he asserted. Among new types of planes which may be em- ployed in the Pacific are A-26 strafing and bombing craft. the B-30, which carries a bomb load comparable to the BPS, and the swift P-80 jet propelled bomber.

Russians Are Told
 War Ends
Announcement Made Early in Morning Great
 Celebration
By Eddy Gilmore

MOSCOW, May 9-Thousands of Russians swarmed through Red Square shouting Long Live Stalin' and "Hurrah for Victory" as the Soviet capital turned out to the last man, woman and child today to celebrate the end of the Euro pean war.
 In the center of the cheering, singing throng, group of Ameri- can CHS attached to the U. s. Military Mission in Moscow, danced across the cobblestones with girls from the factories, which had shut down for the celebration.
 Are Told News
 Uri Levitan, small, dark man with big voice, gave to. 190,000, ,000 Russians today the momentous news that the war against Germany had ended in a crushing victory for the Soviet Union and her Allies.
 The immediate reaction to the stirring event was typically Slavic.
 It was 1:10 a. m. when Levitan- star announcer for the Moscow radio and the man who has broad- cast all of Premier Stalins orders of the day-came on the air with the glad tidings.
 Many Weep Openly
 Most of Moscow's residents were asleep, but the announcement acted like an alarm clock. Thous- ands poured into the streets some still clad in pajamas and nightgowns. Many wept openly, some fell on their knees in prayer. Everywhere people were shaking hands, embracing and kissing one another on tear-wet cheeks.
 Its over, thank God, it's over'' was cry so recurrent among the women that it sounded like choral chant.
 Dawn Of Peace
 For Russia-the only one of the three great powers not at war with Japan-the news really meant the dawn of peace.
 Up to the moment of Levitan's broadcast announcement. the Rus sian people had no word-not even an official hint-that Germany had surrendered. No dispatches on the earlier surrender celebrations in Britain and the United States had been published.

 Molotov said the disposition of It. aly'S colonies was choice between collective trusteeship and one-na- ton trusteeship. He observed that the world has had no experience wiht collective trusteeship.
 Untried
 "Concerning the question of how to deal with Italian colonies" Mol otov said, T think 1t wise for me to say that insofar as the question of collective trusteeship is con- cerned, we should. be careful in its application as 1t has not yet been tried in practice.
 'That is why we think that the principle of individual trusteeship concerning Italian colonies should not be ignored"

Pearl Harbor," said Higashi- Kuni, remains a great state secret. We still don't know the full cir- cumstances surrounding it."
 He promised to put a direct ques- tion to the emperor--whether he had been informed of the Pearl Harhor plans in advance--and trans init the answer to Allied correspond ents.
 Under the Japanese system, the premier said, the cabinet would have decided the question OK going to war and transmitted its decision to the Emperor. The Emperor could veto the decision. But if the deci- sion were carried out, responsibility rests with the cabinet and imperial headquarters, Higashi Kuni ex- plained.
 He was asked his reaction to de- mands from some quarters that the Emperor be considered war crim- inal.

  was puzzling that five youths should try to escape from the institution within such 8 short period. Public Defender Edward T. Car mody, who represented the other three, declared that the boys escap- ed with the knowledge that if they were found they would be sent to prison. They really wanted to go to prison rather than stay in Cheshire, the lawyer declared.
 What a mess you're in now" Judge Mclaughlin stated in address ing the boys. "You have called 8 shot. No one can escape from the reformatory and get prison sen- tences that would be less than re- formatory sentences"
 4-MOnths to Go
 One of the youths, Barrows, had only four months remaining on his reformatory sentence when he es- capped. "It was a stupid act" the prosecutor declared.
 The jurist in imposing sentence stated he hoped word would get to other Cheshire inmates on the dis positions so that there would be no more ideas on escaping.
 Barrows, Dean, and Miller were working outside of the stockade July 2 with other boys when they escaped. A reformatory official looked up to see them running, the court was told, and they were picked up two days later by Stratford police. Delaney made his escape through boiler room, July 13, and was apprehended within two hours.
 Others
 Dean had three years and one month remaining on his reformatory sentence, which resulted on con- viction on a charge of taking motor vehicle without permission, the court was told. Miller had 10 months to serve, on 8 similar count, while Delaney had 59 months re- maining on charges of taking a motor vehicle without permission and breaking and entering.
 Public Defender Carmody stated 1t seemed unfair to send the boys to prison to serve heavy terms on charges which ordinarily would carry lesser penalties.
