Kor the last few weeks no Ger¬ mans wilh whom I talked cared where Hitler was. They didn't care whether he was dead or alive. The only thing they cared about was getting themselves into posi¬ tion to surrender to the Amer¬ icans or thc British. At the L.uck- enwald csmp. where I was a prison¬ er, the Uermans talked frankly about what they intended to do when the Russians came storm¬ ing up  to the gates.

There was no doubt that the con¬ ference woAld go ahead with its business despite the Polish crisis but the psychological effect of the dovelopment sent conference mor¬ ale sinking to low ebb.
'Radio Moscow announced that the 18 Poles had been arrested by the Red Army on a rharge of oper-1 ating an "illegal radio' in the rear* of Soviet troops.) I
Both Stettinius and Eden issued! parallel, strongly worded state-j mentl emphasizing their i oncern and alarni over the Russian de-[ velopment. They cniphnsizrd their view that il was a "grave" develop¬ ment and sharply broke off all talks nn Poland with Russia until i and unless the Soviet makes a full! explanation of thc affair.

We were surrounded by Allied troops southwest of Epinal on the western approaches to thc Vo.sgcs. For transportation «ve had a strange convoy of French civilian automobiles and most of the day¬ light hours we were strafed by Allied planes. I jumped into ditches with my captors. I talked with staff ofBcers, sergeants and privates. Sometimes they gave me sausages and cigarets. One day I tried to buy a bottle of schnapps from a French distiller and offered him Allied occupation money in payment. He finally took It when some of my German captors told him:

Paris, May ^ (UP)—Text of a statement by (ien. Dwight D. Eisenhower on the state of Gennan armies in the west:
Today has seen a steady continuation of German demoralization and disintegration on the Western Front.
On the southern flank. Army Group G commanded by General Schultz and comprising the German 1st and 18th armies surrendered this afternoon to General Devers.
So great is the confusion among the enemy that the German officer present at the negotiation, Lt. Gen. Foertsch, commanding the First German Army, could not get an accurate estimate of the strength of the army group. He believes it numbers between two and four hundred thousand. He reported the army itself has food for some days, but the local population of some two and one-half millions is facing starvation conditions.
This surrender marks the culmination of eight weeks' brilliant service in this theater by the fith Army Group under General Devers. In it are the U. S. Tth and French 1st armies.
An interesting circumstance in connection with this operation is the fact that the Tth l". S. Army which fought in the Mediterranean and later made a successful landing at Marseilles and fought its way northward through the Rhone VaUey into the Saar and finally en¬ circled Switzerland, linked up again in the Brenner Pass with its old friends from the Meiterranean. This is probably one of the longest left hooks in history.

Enemy's Last 1,000,000 Caught; Patriots in Prague Calling for Help from Nazi Killers
By ROBERT MUSEL
London, Sunday, May 6 (UP)—Gen. George S. Patton'a Tliird Army liurled a knockout blow yesterday at the German anny in Czechoslovakia, last battlejri'ound of continental Europe, in concert with Russian drives from the east, while Czech patriots liberated Prague but apparently were waging a desperate struggle to hold their capital.
Tlio patriot-held radio station in Prague broadcast appeals for Allied military aid, reporting that the Germans were advancing on the city from all sides. The liberation of Prague had been announceid earlier by Dr. Hubert Ripka of the Czechoslovak government in a broadcast from London.
Remnants of 60 divisions totaling 1,000,000 men — the last intact GeiTnan forces in continental Europe — were caught in the rock-ci-usher offensive that extended down into Austria, where Patton's troops captured the road junction of Linz.
The Americana quickly surged 13 miles across the Bohemian plateau and aent prongs within 22 miles of Pilsen, the Wchrmacht's last arsenal, both from the southwest and west and to within 72 milea of Prague itself. 1S4 from Prague
Russian troopa awept 14 miles westward to the edge of the Bohemian plain within 134 mlies of Prague. In mop-up operations more than 4M miles to the north, other Soviet forces toppled the Germans' last Baltic Sea base at Swinebucnde and seized the V-bomb experimental atationa of Peenemuende and Zinnowitz.
