End of the signing of “complete & unconditional surrender proclamation" released by one war [correspondant], begins to seep thru the radio, until by noon they are forced to admit it is true but that it had been agreed that it would be officially amended in all capitals of the Allies at once. That “official” announcement is set for 9:00am tomorrow. But today is, in reality VE day (the terms signed at 2:41 a.m.)
