PROPOSED ATOMIC
 BOMB TESTS FEARED
 BY DE. BARTLETT

WASHINGTON Delegate Bart lett (D-Alaska) warned Navy Sec retary Forrestal today that the proposed test of an atomic bomb on warships may have "catastro- phic'' results.
 Explosion of an atom bomb in North Pacific waters might destroy Alaskas entire $50,000,00O salmon fishing industry, he said.
 It might also result in tidal waves that would cause grave danger to the territory, he said.
 In letter to the secretary, which emphasized that the effects of an atomic explosion in the sea are still unknown, Bartlett asked that the North Pacific be ruled out as a site of the experiment.
 It is improbable, but also. pos sible," Bartlett wrote, Fthat the salmon are schooled together out in the ocean and that the dropping of a single atomic bomb might at one stoke do away with the fish which produce in the amount or around $5O,OOO,0OO annually"
 Bartlett said the bomb ought to not be dropped anywhere in the vii cinity of the migratory seal herds which move each year from the California coast to the northern Pribilof Islands.

 This was the text of the Presi- dents statement:
 q have agreed with the London and Moscow Governments that l will make no announcement with reference to the surrender of the enemy forces in Europe or else where until simultaneous state ment can be made by the three governments. Until then there IS nothing I can or will say to you
 Generally, Washington took the dramatic news from Reims in stride, indicating that it was pre- pared to heed for the most part President Truman's recommenda- tion that the end of the long struggle in Europe be made the occasion for dedication to the still difficult task of disposing of Japan.
 Throughout the maze of govern ment buildings, there were brief time-outs for subdued exchanges of qualification, but in the main there was a "business-as-usual" atmos- phere

SURRENDER GIVEN OUT
 TO GERMANS
Grim Announcer ent Is Broadcast 10 Beaten
 Nazis-Future Plans

LONDON, May "A Reich Gov ernment broadcast this morning told the beaten Germans their ar mics had surrendered, well ahead of reports from the Allied side. and called for a new Germany of unity, justice and liberty" which would seek conciliation and abide by in- ternational law.
 The grim announcement was made by Admiral Doenitz' Foreign Minister, Count Ludwig Schwerin von Krosigk, speaking "as the leading minister of the Reich over the wavelength used for the last German communiques, that of the flensburg radio in British-occupied Schleswig- Holstein.
 We end this gravest hour of the German nation and its Reich" it said.
 Germans were urged to stand loyally by the obligations we have undertaken" They were told that an atmosphere of hatred" sur rounds Germany.
 Among the Ministers concluding words were:
 Tn our nation justice shall be the supreme law and the guiding prin- ciple We also must recognize law as the basis of all relations between the nations-we must recognize it and respect it from inner convic- tion.
 Respect for concluded treaties will be as sacred as the aim of our nation to belong to the Euro pean family of nations. as mem- Der of which we want to mobilize all human, moral and material forces in order to heal the dreadful wounds which the war has caused
 It was noteworthy that Krosigk did not imply the Germans would have to heal the wounds of Ger many alone. He continued:
 Then we may hope that the at mosphere of hatred which today surrounds Germany all over the world will give place to a spirit of reconciliation among the nations, without which the world cannot recover"
 Krosigk ended by asking that Germany link herself to the ef- forts "of the Christian Western civilization to make to the honest work of peace a contribution which
