rived in APPS New York head
quarters early in the morning
Of May z. l945. AS a precaution
this was held back from the
wires for eight minutes until
corroborative details poured in.
Then the AP went ahead with
the wars biggest story.
Some hours later military
headquarters in Paris shut
down APPS operations there.
Developments Traced
What happened was that the
Allies had agreed to withhold
news of the surrender for "a
hours to permit simultaneous
release along with reports of
the German surrender to the
Russians.
The Germans had announced
the surrender over the Flens-
burg Radio and Mr.. Kennedy
commended this inyalidated the
embargo. He warned the press
section of Supreme Allied Head
quarters that he intended to
send his story.
Mr.. Kennedy was both
praised and condemned for get
ting out confirmation of the
news which the Germans al
ready had broadcast. Allied
Headquarters disaccredited him
as a war correspondent but IA
later it was announced
that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover had reviewed the case
and had removed any bar to
Mr.. Kennedy's decentralization.
Inserted in the Congressional
Record were a memorandum
that the Germans had made
the Flensburg broadcast under
Allied orders and a War De-
partment letter fixing the time
of the broadcast as an hour
and 81 minutes ahead of Mr..
Kennedy's story.

EdIin Land Deal Profit
Put at Only $4,000

out in cross examination that
it was very difficult for Mr..
Finneran to obtain new devel-
opment loans for this parti-
cular land.
Interest in Advance
The developer admitted that
a $2.4 million 10 a n was gained
by agreement to pay back $400.-
900 Immediately, pay six
months interest in advance and
keep that for ahead on inter-
est payments, have the three
officers, all millionaires, sign
personally for the loan and fl
nally to give it preference over
the mortgages to Boykin in
terests.
Federal Judge Roszel c.
Thomson began the pairing of
the proclaimed $16.4 million
sale at the beginning of the
day when he would not permit
Mr.. Williams to lump the in
debtedness of the two land COM
panies - that is, the original
mortgage of SO million running
to Boykin interests and the al
legged SIT million in loans owed
to Edlin SSL firms - as part
of the cost to Mr.. Finneran.
He pointed out that the Fin
neran firm only purchased the
stock of the land companies,
which did not make it liable
for the debts of the companies.
Including the debts, mort
cages and cash settlement the
total transaction, as related by
both Mr.. Finneran and his
lawyer, comes to just over $40
million.
Mr.. Williams had arrived at
the $16.4 million figure by us
ing the original So million stock
price. the nearly SO million for
the mortgages to Boykin inter-
.ests and the SIT million in
loans from the Sal firms (all
in round figures, which ac-
counts for the discrepancy.
