Clean Cut Military
 Surrender" of Germans f Unlikely Says General

WASHINGTON, April 5.--Gen Dwight Eisenhower informed Presi- dent Roosevelt a "clean-cut military surrender" by the Nazis is improb- able
 In a letter to the President, re- leased by the White House, Gen Eisenhower foresaw extensive guer- rilla warfare. He said he is hopeful that launching operations at the proper time should partially pre- vent guerrilla control of any large area, such as the southern mountain baStion."
 On basis of past performances of the German armed forces, Gen. Eis- enhower said it is likely, VIE Day will come about only by proclama- tion on our part rather than any definite, decisive collapse of surren- der of German resistance"
 Such proclamation, if it does come, the White House spokesman said, would probably be issued by Gen. Eisenhower himself

Formal Noie Is Handed 10 Ambassador in Midst
 of Cabinet Crisis

LONDON, April 5-Russia today denounced it's neutrality pact with Japan, accusing Tokyo with helping Germany in the war against Russia.
 The Moscow radio announced that V. M. MoIotov, Vice. Chairman of the Council of the Peoples Commissar of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, has informed the Japanese Ambassador that con- tinuance of the compact is impos- sibie since Japan is fighting against Russia's Allies, the United States and Britain.
 Tn such a situation the pact of neutrality between Japan and the UssR has lost its meaning" Molo- toy said
 The formal note was handed to the Japanese Ambassador at a o'clock this afternoon in the midst of the new Japanese Cabinet crisis. The pact was signed in April. 194l.
 Whether Russia would denounce it before the opening of the World Security conference. in San Fran cisco has been the subject of much speculation.
 The treaty ordinarily would have run to April. 1946.
 Denouncement becomes effective April B.
 There is no indication in the Moscow announcement of Russia's intentions in the future relations with Japan. However, Premier Stalin publicly described Japan as an "aggressor Nation."

EMPEROR CALLS SUZUKI

LONDON, April 5-The Japanese Government of Koiso fell midst the Empires grave. military crisis and the Emperor has called on Admiral Baron Suzuki, 78, President of the Privy Council, to form a new cabinet, Tokyo broadcasts said
 Suzuki had been in semi-retire- ment eight years prior to his ap- pointment as President of the Privy Council on August 10, last year.
 In prewar years he was consid- cred one of Japan's moderate statesmen and was an opponent of the extreme Army cliques and ag- gressive ventures. He was seriously wounded in the Tokyo army revolt on February 26, 1886, when he held the post of Lord Chamberlain.
 Many close students of Japanese affairs assert his call to power might mean some moderate" peace gestures to the United States and their Allies.

over areas where local clashes we're
most prevalent
Although no report had been re-
