that his wife had said she had sat

then had taken 40 sleeping tablets
A physician testified that one or two
tablets was the normal dose.

Navy Forces Seeking
123 Prisoners Find
Reds Holding Dairen
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
DAIREN, Manchuria, Sept. 3 de-
laye0.-United States 7th Fleet
forces entered this modern port city
today and found 1t completely un-
der Russian control and virtually
undamaged.
In their thus-far unsuccessful
search for a party of 1913 American
Navy prisoners of war from Guam,
Wake and Corregidor. some of whom
are high-ranking officers, the de-
stroyers Evans and Hubbard made
a high-speed run across the Yellow
Sea to this port. The prisoners now
are believed to be in the vicinity of
Mukden.
The Russian commandant at Dali
rem and Capt. Chester c. Wood, 7th
Fleet task unit commander, are CO.
operating in the continuing search.
Lease-Lend Equipment Everywhere.
Dairen is filed with blond, stall
wart Russians. Parked at strategic
points are low. heavy Soviet tanks
In the beautiful hill-girt harbor bobs
a lease-lend seaplane squadron
Russian officers rode in American
staff cars and numerous lease lend
jeeps were evident.
The American landing party, in
two whaleboats, was photographed
by friendly Russians at the dock.
Almost every building flies a red
flag. Civilians, including an esti-
mated 10000 japanese, produced
bolts of red silk which they con-
verted into Russian flags. Both Rus
sian and Chinese government flags
flew from Chinese establishments.
Japs Offered No Opposition.
The Russians exhibited virtually
no interest in the civilian popula-
ton and the japanese garrison Of
fered no opposition when the Soviet
forces came in through Dairen with
machinelike efficiency.
The Soviet Army deeply impressed
civilians and community life Is vir-
tually at standstill, awaiting de-
velopments.
The Tokyo radio already had
broadcast accounts of the surrender
when the Americans reached Dairen
Many Russians had been celebrat-
ing. They waved their bottles
grinned and asked the Americans to
join them. The offer was declined
however. because of the Americans
desire to locate their prisoner com
rades without delay.
Many White Russians live in Dali
rem, but there was no animosity evil
dent between Soviet forces and the
local Russians-many of whom have
been hired as interpreters.
Population Of Dairen Restless.
Commercially. Dairen has been a
dead city for two years, except fol-
black market activities. Food sho ort
ages aggravated its industrial de-
cline. 1t boasts large dock installa-
tions, however, which Russians and
Chinese-under their new 30-year
friendship treaty, will share.
The population is restless and its
most evident attitude is one of
Whats going to become of us?" 1t
results from Manchuria' uncertain
postwar status.
The japanese have enjoyed a
monopoly so long that current re-
adjustments present a problem.

The marchioness died at Beech
Hill Hotel, Rusklake Green, Sussex.
The marques said his wife and
two children, one years and the
other 18 months old, had gone to
the hotel on a holiday.
The marchioness was married to
the marques in 1889 when he was
Lord Rowland. She previously had
been married to Kenneth Holloway
in 1925. Her maiden name was
Glare Gwendolen Bridgman.
The marchioness was described as
one of London's best-dressed wom-
en- who often was seen driving a
big black car with two large dogs
seated beside her.
The marques is the eldest son Of
the 18th Duke of Bedford. His
grandfather left nearly s2o,000,000
in cash when he died in August,
1910, in addition to all his London
property and great country estate
in Bedfordshire, Devonshire and

, Himmler said TN order to save as
great a part of Germany as possible
from Russian invasion, I am will
ing to capitulate on the western
front. But I am not prepared to
capitulate on the eastern front"
I told him: You can take it for
granted that England and America
will not make any separate settle
ments with Germany"
"An the same, want to make the
attempt" Himmler said.
I asked Himmler what he pro-
posed to do If he received a mega
tive reply.
I'm such a case I shall take over
the command on the eastern front
and be killed in battle" But he did
not carry out his intention.
Finally, I asked him to write a
short letter to the Swedish min
lister for foreign affairs, Christian
Guenther, as evidence that Himmler
really desired to make the neces-
sary contact through me.
This, Himmler declared after he
had done so, was the bitterest day
in his life.
On my arrival in Stockholm on
April "a, I Immediately called at the
foreign office. A meeting was held
later that evening at which were
present the British minister, Sir
Victor Mallet; the American minis
ter. Herschel Johnson; the perma-
nent Undersecretary of State and
myself.
Approval Doubted.
The two foreign diplomats pointed
out that it was most unlikely that
their governments would agree to
Hlmmler's proposal, and that they
must necessarily confer with the
/ Moscow government.
Two days passed. During the
evening of April 26, the American
reply, signed by President Truman
arrived. I went at once to the
American Legation.
"A German offer of surrender will
only be accepted on condition that
1t is complete on all fronts as
regards Great Britain, the Soviet
Union as well as the United States
! of America. = ="
1t was decided that should leave
without delay. meet Schellenbere
and hand him the answer. On April
q, flew to Odense, where I gave
Schellenberg the western powers
reply. At first it seemed to make
him very depressed.
The following day. I heard my
name mentioned on Radio Atlantic
Reports from London and New York
said I had opened negotiations with
Himmler for German capitulation
My first thought was that this had
spoiled everything.
have since altered my views
The publicity which my negotiations
received was to be decisive.
! Himmler had from the beginning
Evening star., 1945-09-04

been chosen to be leader Of the Ger
man Reich In the event of Hitler's
death. But with the publication of
Himmler's surrender bid, Grand
Admiral Karl Doenitz was chosen
to be the leader instead. It Is
doubtful II the Allies could ever
have negotiated with Himmler
With Doenitz, 1t was far easier.
Schellenberg returned to Odense.
On April 90, after seeing Himmler
at a place north of Bremen, Himmler
was furious over the publicity given
in England and America to our
negotiations, he said. At one
moment he had threatened to arrest
Schellenberg as the one who, with
me, had induced him to begin
negotiations for surrender.
May l came, and with it, the news
for which millions had for years
been waiting and longing: Hitler
was dead.
Doenitz announced: "The Fuehrer
has appointed me to be his sue
ceSSor."
For me, this meant that the points
of departure of my negotiations had
been shifted.
Doenitz in Command.
Himmler was no longer in a DOM
mating position. And Doenitz urged
Germany to fight on.
However. the situation changed
rapidly. On May I was told that
Doenitz had decided to surrender.
At 10 o'clock on the morning Of
May ScheIlenberg arrived in Stock
holm by special plane and stated
that the new German Minister for
Foreign Affairs, Count Schwerin Won
Krosigk, had asked him to arrange
meeting with Gen. Eisenhower to
discuss German surrender.
Alone in the Doenitz cabinet, Field
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel violently
opposed the surrender move.
Meanwhile, Gen. Franz Boehne,
the German commander in Norway,
refused to surrender his forces ex-
|cept on the direct, written order Of
