 ON HOME COURT

Once again, a Waterbury Higk school team is up against the alway. difficult task of defeating NaugatucE in the borough, and, under any circumstances, Naugatuck Higf would be logical choice to defeat Crosby tonight when the valley league and traditional rivals match hoops in the Naugatuck YMCA.
 Pete Foley's club has been hold ing the valley league lead lately, lists the league high scorer in Jack StimSon among its players and fig- ures to be right there" in the championship picture and later this mont hin the state tournament at New Haven.
 Up and Down
 Crosby, starting well in early sea- son, begged down considerably, but picked up well when Coach Jim Lee shifted his players. Johnny Rear don, in particular showing marked improvement other moved from guard to forwrad by scoring 34 points in the past two games; 24 against the favored Torrington High club.
 Naugy's Stinson, the Healy twins. Joe and iVnnie and perhaps, Char ley Kevit, may be enough to out point Crosby, which has a fight on It's hands to get into the state tour play. At Widby gym, January 10, Naugatuck was II points better than Crosby at the finish of 41-3O game.
 However, Coach Lee has done everything possible to keep his charges in the good form they have showed recently, including a deter mined drill last night at the Wilby gym.
 Taft Prep, sporting one of its best teams in years and high-scorer in Captain Johnny Compel, is paired with Wilby tonight at the local gym.

afternoon, after the surrender story
was published, all Associated Press
filing facilities from the European
theater were suspended, but later
this was lifted for all the APP staff
except Kennedy himself. Kennedy
is chief of the APPS western front
staff.
This afternoon the suspension
order was imposed also on Morton
Gudebrod, member of the Associated
Press Paris staff whose assignment
is to supervise the distribution Of
AP service to the French press.
This service supplied Mr.. Kennedy's
story to Paris newspapers with the
approval Of French censorship.
The APP was informed that GUIDE
brod was suspended, as in the
case of Mr.. Kennedy, pending the
outcome of supreme headquarters
investigation.
Brig. Gen. Frank A. Allen, jr.,
director of supreme headquarters
public relations division, told a
meeting summoned by correspond
ents that the original suspension
was imposed at his own order so
that I might check SHAEF COM
munications to determine if there
had been any violation by the As
ISOLATED Press of transmission in
volving security"
He said he lifted the suspension
order on all but Kennedy on recon-
mendation of his investigating COM
mittee.
Gen. Allen emphasized that "the
investigation is being continued. It
is not yet complete"
The APPS transmission facilities,
he added, were stopped to investi-
gate, not to punish. There could be

addition to the general security sys-
tenn. This is that the powers should
take separate but parallel measures
to make sure that for the next half
century or so Germany will be
denied the resources and industrial
development necessary to plunge the
world into another war.
One possible step understood to
have received some consideration
from high officials is treaty among
the victor nations specifically pledg-
ing them to stand ready to take up
arms against Germany.
In Line With vandenberg Plan.
The United States may lead in
working out such a pact, which is
regarded in American quarters as
being in line with a plan put for
ward by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, Of Michigan several
months ago for a longtime alliance
against Germany.
The proposed United Nations
charter as the Big Four powers have
agreed to change it would permit
such a treaty to work independently
OF the inner Security Council of the
world organization. An amendment
sponsored by the United States
delegation and finally accepted by
Russia specifically exempts from
the councils authority those pacts
made against the enemy nations Of

ton is completed"
Kennedy remained under suspen-
sion pending outcome of the inves-
tigation OF any violation of SHAEF
censorship or violation Of confidence,
he said.
In reply to demands that COM
plete suspension be imposed again
at once, Gen. Allen declared:
ut is my firm conviction that I
lack the authority to punish the
Associated Press as an organization
for the act Of one correspondent"
Two correspondents present re-
fused to sign the letter to Gen.
Eisenhower on the grounds it was

closed the facts, and that they were
opposed to cutting off news to hun
dreds Of American newspapers and
millions Of readers. They were
Larry Rue of the Chicago Tribune
and John O'Connell of the Bangor,
Me-, News.
Rue asked, do the correspondents
here really want to cut of the news
of 1,400 newspapers and still take
the position that they do not believe
in the suppression of news?"
O'Connen said correspondents who
signed may find they are ip Pc

story were able to give American
readers the news Of the peace with

A motion to send the drafted let
ter to Gen. Eisenhower was made
by Kingsbury Smith of the Inter.
national News Service and seconded
by Helen Kirkpatrick Of the Chi
cago Daily News.
Albert Glarner of the British
Exchange Telegraph suggested nc
action be taken until SHAEF's in
vestigation was completed. But
other correspondents said the AP
had been first with the. news of the
surrender, and should be deprived
of filing a story when formal an
nouncement finally was made.
Drew Middleton Of the New York
Times, facing the meeting, said:
"You realize, gentlemen, you have
taken the worst beating of your
lives. The question is, what are
you going to do about it?"
The motion to send the letter
was passed without a dissenting
vote. Later several correspondents
declined to sign it.

diplomats here at the moment
Such a conference would deal with
territorial settlements In Europe
and elsewhere in the world II 1t is
held after the Pacific war has ended.
The same decisions might be
made, however, by a series Of lesser
meetings. One of the problems seen
as confronting the Big Three lead
ers Is a decision on which of these
methods they think would be most
effective in producing fair and last
ing settlements.
Reparations Problem Urgent.
One problem even more urgent
is that Of German reparations. The
late President Roosevelt agreed
with Stain and Churchill at the
Yalta Conference in February that
Preparations should be made in ma
chinery and goods. A reparations
commission was set up to work at
Moscow but so far has reported
accomplishing nothing.
Yet the process of completely
wrecking Germany's war-makine
industries, which was also agreed
on at Yalta and which is expected
to be undertaken without delay by
Allied occupation armies, will re-
lease considerable amount of ma.
chinery which may be taken by thf
European Allies as reparations
Russian and French demands fol
German labor to rebuild devastated
cities also are yet to be worked into
formal agreements. The subject
was brought up but not settled al

Despite these open questions
American authorities consider thai
the job of restoring peace is fai
ahead of what it was at the close Of
the last war.
Ahead of World War Schedule.
The Versailles Conference was hele
months after the 1918 armistice. This
time the enemy's unconditional sur.
render means there Is no armistice
period, and the fact that the Sar
Francisco Conference is already un-
der way means that a world league
can start functioning in about a
year. Thus the problem Of organic
ing for peace has been separated
from the tasks of iquidating the wal
and rushed full year ahead Of the
World War schedule.
There is also some hope among
Americans, British and other Of.

in writing-unconditional surrender
to Russia as well as to the western
Allies. All German forces, aircraft
and seacraft were to remain at their
present positions. The German
command was to forward and en-
force the prosecution of all orders
of the Allied commands.
Smith declared that the German
position was hopeless. Freideburg
agreed and said the Germans pre-
ferred to surrender only to the
western Allies, expressing fear that
the Russians would kill many Ger
man soldiers.
Almost impatiently Smith brushed
aside the assumption. He said even
more emphatically that the Allies
would consider only unconditional
surrender to all four nations.
Tells of Nazi Sufferings.
Friedeburg then attempted to de-
scribe what he called the sufferings
and hardships of the German people
Smith answered that the German
people were enemies and would re-
main SO until they surrendered
After surrender the Allies would
"act in accordance with the normal
dictates of humanity" he said.
The German admiral appeared
perfectly composed. He rose and
took the terms to the Office assigned
him in the school building. There
he sat down with Pollock and studied
them anew.
Whiskey and sandwiches were
sent into them.
Once during their deliberations
Strong visited them to clarity some
points in Eisenhower's terms.
Meanwhile, the commander in
chief sent urgent messages to Wash
ington, London and Moscow inform
ing them that Friedeburg was au-
thorized only to offer surrender of
the remaining German forces on
the western front, that this. offer
had been rejected, and that the ad-
miral was now seeking authorization
from Doenitz to make a full sur
render to Russia as well as the west
ern Allies.
At the same time Sasloparof and
zenkovitch, Russian representatives
lat SHAEF, received full details OF
the situation from Smith and they
and other high SHAEF officers
waited for any formal meeting which
might be arranged on receipt of au-
thority from Doenitz.
Message Sent to Doenitz.
Finally Friedeburg appeared with
a message addressed to Doenitz.
It outlined the terms and en-
bodied Smiths suggestion that
Doenitz either give Friedeburg full
authority for a total surrender or
send his chief of staff and the COM
manders in chiefs of his army
navy and air forces with such
authority.
SHAEFs warning that the new
German government would have to
shoulder the guilt for continuing
the fighting also was contained in
the message.
This was sent in code to the Brit
ish I'd Army for transmission by
courier acros sthe German lines.
While awaiting Doenitz's reply,

would come from the Allies. He said
they would be obeyed.
Then the Germans filed out. It
was over.
Nazi Germany had ceased to
exist.
The war had ended.
The signatures of the document
of surrender climaxed two days of
negotiations in the cathedral city,
scene OF many dramatic events in
European history. Possibly what
was born here today will be known
as the peace of Rheims"
The doom of the Third Reich was
sealed in the war room of the Allied

quarters in the big brick Ecole Pro-
fessionelle, which in peacetime was

Seated at Black Table.
The signatories sat at a wooden
table 20 feet long and 10 feet wide,
with its top painted block. The
war room itself is L-shaped, about
80 feet long and 80 wide on the
outer sides of the "L."
It's walls are nile green beaver
board covered with battle maps,
their red lines marking what were
the fronts, and etching the plight of
the Wehrmacht, which once had al
most the entire continent under its
heel.
Also seated with the signatories
were Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick E.
Morgan, SHAEF deputy chief of
staff; Capt. Harry E. Butcher,
Eisenhower's naval aide; Admiral
Sir Harry Burroughs, commander of
Allied naval forces; 1t. Ivan
Cherieff of the Red Army; 1t. Gen.

United States Strategic Air Forces
in Europe; Air Marshal Sir James
M. Robb, chief of the SHAEF air
staff: Maj. Gen. H. R. Bull, assistant
chief of staff, and Col. Ivan Zen
kovitch of the Red Army.
The Allied representatives sat
along the side of the table nearest
the wall and along its right end.
Facing them across the black table
were Jodl and Friedeburg and Maj.
William Oxenious, Jodl's aide. Be-
hind the Germans stood Maj. Gen.
K. w. D. Strong, chief of SHAEF
intelligence, who acted as inter-
prefer.
Correspondents were ushered into
the war room upon receiving word
of the agreement upon final terms.
Nazis Wear Decorations.
Most of the Allied officers entered
the room at 2:29 am. Gen. Smith
followed five minutes later The
strain of the climactic months Of the
war was evident in his serious coun-
tenance.
There was another wait of five
minutes. Then Jodl, In gray

Jodl wore his Knight Of the Iron
