We Day More
Than Victors
By the Associated Press

The European phase of World
War II ended officially just three
years ago.
The official end came when Ger
man military leaders signed an act
of surrender in Berlin on May 8,
1945, called we Victory in Eu-
rope) day." They had signed a
statement of unconditional sur
render the day before in Reims,
France.
Today's anniversary apparently
drew more notice in the defeated
nations than among the victorious
ones.
No public celebrations were re-
ported in the United States Ameri-
can troops in Europe had holiday,
but there were no ceremonies.
But Germans and Austrians
pleaded for a joint effort to make
the peace last. Germans urged the
victor nations to grant them a long
delayed treaty. Spokesman COM
planned that Germany was being
made the victim of growing differ
ences between Russia and the west
ern occupying powers.

Head-0n in Alabama
By the Associoied Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May g.
The Hummingbird, Louisville &
Nashville streamliner, ran headon
into another luxury train in dense
fog 20 miles north Of here early
today.
Several persons we're injured, but
only three required hospital treat
ment. The others were given first
aid at the scene.
The second train, the Florida
Arrow, bound from Miami to Chi
cago, was standing still when the
collision occurred. A trainman said
the Hummingbird missed a signal
in the fog and failed to take
siding.
The engines of both trains and
two cars of the Hummingbird and
one of the Florida Arrow were de-
rallied, but none overturned. The
Humningbird was southbound from
Cincinnati to New Orleans. After
a delay of about four hours both
trains continued their runs behind
new engines.
The wreck did not block traffic.
Other trains bypassed 1t on a sid
ing.
The three persons brought here
for hospital treatment are Mrs. Jos
Dowd of Miami, Mrs S. w. Vaughan
of Birmingham and Mrs. Nellie

On Spot in Korea With
Withdrawal Plan
Simultaneous Departure
Of Americans Declared
Aim of New Proposal
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, May 8.-Russia moved
today to force the American
hand in Korea as prediction
Red terrorism hit Seoul, national
capital and headquarters of the
American zone, for the first
time.
! 1t. Gen. G. P. Korotkov, Soviet
commander of North Korea, an
nounced arrangements have been
made for the immediate withdrawal
of his troops to make American
troops withdraw from Korea simul-
taneously."
| His announcement did not name
any specific date for the withdrawal
and was SO worded as to leave some
doubt that the Russians even in
tended to get out at all. Similar
proposals previously have been re-
jected by the United States.
Conference Chief Told of Plan.
Gen. Korotkov. former Russian
commander on the Estonian front,
made his announcement in a letter
to Kim Doo-bong, chairman Of the
recent north-south unity conference
| in Pyongyang. The letter was
broadcast on the Pyongyang radio.
The conference, dominated by
Korean Communists, urged both
Russian and American troops to
leave the country.
After devoting almost the entire
letter to a Sovietized version of the
already known background of the
Korean situation, Gen. Korotkov
without elaboration, added the SEN
/ tence:
THE government of the u S. S. R
has had the necessary arrangements
made for the immediate withdrawal
of its troops from Korea in order to
make American troops withdraw
from Korea simultaneously.
There was no indication whether
the arrangements were to be carried
out regardless of American agree
ment, whether the plan hinged on
similar American action or how the
Americans were to be made" to
leave the country.
Called propaganda Shot"
| At American headquarters, one
high official termed the letter AN
other propaganda shot" at United
States efforts to create unified
Korean government.
Gen. Korotkov expressed sympa-
thy with the unity conferences de-
mand and recalled that the Soviet
government made the same with
drawal proposal in the United
States-Soviet Joint Commission
negotiations and before the United
Nations Assembly.
Negotiations by the United States
Soviet Joint Commission looking to
the establishment of a Korean pro-
visional government broke down
completely last year after the COM
manders in the two zones were un-
able to agree on practically any
thing.
Communist-inspired terrorism has
been going on in Southeast Korea
