Reich leadership wished to discuss
the larger question of complete sur
render of all armed forces.
Eisenhower accordingly approved
conference at Rheims for Saturday
and transportation was furnished
for bringing Friedeburg and Col.
Fritz Pollock of the German supreme
command
They left Montgomery's head
quarters at Lueneberg by plane at
8 am. Saturday, escorted by 1t.
Col. Viscount Bury and Maj. F. j.
Lawrence of Montgomery's staff.
They changed planes at Worst.
Bad weather prevented them from
continuing past Brussels. While
waiting for an automobile the party
had lunch at an Raj snack bar.
They ate sandwiches and drank
Scotch ale" brewed in Brussels.
Friedeburg drank his Brussels ale
from the bottle, seeming to relish it.
Then staff car, driven by a girl
of the Auxiliary Territorial Service,
Pvt. Bobbie Alexander of Inverness,
Scotland, took the group onward at
1:30 pms Friedeburg, who had
dozed in the plane, fell soundly
asleep. He had explained that he
was exhausted by the lack of sleep
for the most of 10 days.
Surrender to Devers Flashed.
Col. Pollock looked out morosely
at the countryside most of the time.
A grimace of displeasure showed
on his face as the car passed
wrecked German tanks, trucks and
gun carriers along the road.
At 5:04 pm, the enemy ennis
saries reached advanced SHAEF
headquarters just as the news of
the surrender Of German Army
Group G in Austria to Gen. Jacob
L. Devers was flashed.
The inhabitants of Rheims quick
ly noticed the two German uni
forms. They could not know exactly
what was happening, but they knew
it was something big.
Eisenhower has spent far more
time at Rheims than at main head
quarters farther to the rear. The
Ecole Professionally is a modern
building, three stories high. It is
of red brick and resembles many
schools in the United States.
Shaped in quadrangle, the
building incloses a big square plant
ed with green chestnut trees.
GIs Crane Necks,
Brig. E. j. Foord, British chief of
SHAEF's operational intelligence,
and 1t. Col. w. A. s. Morrice, Brit
ish assistant secretary of the gen.
eral staff, met the Germans in this
square.
Some GIs, Tommies and WACS
were craning their necks for a
glimpse of the unusual visitors.
The Germans asked to tidy up be-
fore meeting the high Allied officers.
Friedeburg hummed softly to him.
self as he scrubbed his hands and
changed his collar. Pollock teetered

almost dazed.

The discussion lasted 20 minutes.
1t opened with a request that
Friedeburg show his credentials and
his authority to represent Doenitz,
the new head of the German state.
He produced these and it became
apparent that he was authorized to
surrender only on the western front.

good habit, which any player can

way he can take advantage of the

cashed two diamonds, setting the
contract.
The contract was really an
open-and-shut proposition if South
had been on his toes. 1t required
no clairvoyancy to realize that the
lead of the spade J indicated West
also had the 10. Such being the
case, South could nave thrown his
spade Q under the K without it
costing him a trick. For the 9 was
marked as sure to win on a fnesse.
If South had thus tossed away
the spade @ he could have won
the returned dla mond, dropped
trumps in two rounds, fnessed the
spade 9 and then used the spade A
for a discard of a diamond. BY so
doing, he could have limited his
losses in diamonds to one trick in
stead OF two. But by playing low
on the first trick and retaining his
spade @, he had blocked himself.

on to another, pinning the Germans

Swope Opposes Publishing
Pay Of All But Top Men
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
BOSTON, April 3.-Gerard Swope,
former president of the General
Electric Co., said yesterday he saw
no valid reason for publishing the
salaries or compensation of a firms
executives "other than the presi-
dents and possibly the chairman's. y
1T only produces heart burning
and envy, and impairs the morale
of the organization and the COM
munity," Mr.. Swope said in an arti-
Gle in the spring number of the
Harvard Business Review.
Not only do I think there is no
good reason to publish any Of the
salaries or profit sharing except the
largest. but also think such pub
lication may do. and actually has
done, great HARM" Mr.. Swope wrote.
This is especially true when large
companies and the officers are To-
Gated in small communities where
people all know each other"
The former General Electric pres
ident said he saw no objection to a
statement showing the aggregate

Strengthened There was tight
embarrassed look on his face. His
scowl toward Fitz and Terry deep
ened. But not you two!" he said
savagely. Before they realized what
he meant he had opened the door
and allowed Roxie to slip through.
Automatically Ftz put his foot
IN the door, and began TO argue.
Terry was about to join him when

painfully into his arm. He turned
to fer surprised. Her lips were
pursed in shushing pantomlme to
him and he had never seen such
tension on her face.
-Listen!" she whispered.
The guards finished their con-
yersation and the outside guard
was closing the door when It
was jerked open again out Of his
hands. Artigas himself was there.
From his face 1t looked like they
had reached him almost too late.
He didn't waste any words He said
to Terry in low staccato, you
swear your story's true?"
II swear IT," Terry breathed. But
her words sounded almost absent
minded. She put a quick hand on
the large mans arm and went clos

"Senor Artigas, Brooks told you OF

Artigas' strained face frowned.
YES" he said with rising inhec-
ton.

see the shock that went over him.
His eyes were boring down again

Terry nodded violently.
The big man took a deep breath,

then released It. I'm see what can

FitZ eyes were on his watch.
