Just as Field Marshal Mont- gomery exacts rigid discipline of his own men. he knows how to keen a defeated 0I1EfflN-—€V9n the arrogant Prussian-in his place.

When a delegation from the ' German High Command arrived at his headquarters on May 3. 1046. to discuss surrender tenns, Monty set them back at the out- set by letting them know he hadn't. been interested enough to ifsm the purpose of their mis- s

on.

"What do these officers want?" be demanded as they came up to his caravan.

General Admiral Von Frieda- burg explained he had arrived to negotiate the surrender of the German forces in the north. so as to save "soldiers and valuable pewio .from being ravaged by the Russians"

Curtly Montgomery told the delegation he would accept only the unconditional surrender of all German land. sea and air forces in Northwestern Gemianly. Hol- land and the adjacent islands. The Germans stalled for time.

Montgomery asked von Friede- burg‘ if he knew the current war situation. He _ssid he did. But

Next day. the German troops 1n the area surrendered on Mont- gomery's terms. Two days later.‘ the total and unconditional sur- f render of all German armed for- ces followed.

JERUSALEM. Aug. 23—- (GP)- Salling alter a warning she would be bombed. the British troopship Em ire Heywood cruised the Me iterranean- today with another illegal Jewlsh immigrants bound for detention in Cyprus.

Naval headquarters received a

She was in Haifa harbor, where 2t hours before three swimmer-saboteurs had blown a hole in the side of Le Empire Rival, another troopshlp shuttling deportees to Cyprus. . The Empire Heywood a week ago was forced to return to Haifa when refugee passengers damaged it by igniting two small gellgnite bombs in the hold.

There still has been no indica- tion whether the death sentences of 18 Jewish members of the Stem gang. an underground organization. would be confirmed or commuted by the British commander m Palestine. The underground threat- ened reprlsals if they were ex- ecuted.

DETROIT‘. Aug. IS-(AH-The nine-day-old Great Lakes shipping strike moved in the drectlon of a solution today following an

reement between tihe National

ritlmo Union (CJ-O.) and two carriers.

N. M. U. members in l8 posts

ratified an agreement with the Standard Oil Company of fnd.ana calling for g work week of 48 hours at sea and 44 hours in port. Seamen were directed to return to their posts aboard the com- pany's five tankers, . A similar offer from Bethlehem Transportation Company of New York. which operates 13 bulk frelghters. was accepted te-ita- “V91? lhd to N. M.

The union ls also "in consulta- tion" with other operators jf the nearly 4C0 American-flag vessels on the inland lakes, N. M. U. pro- sldent Joseph Curran said. He did not identify them.

The walkout began Aug. 1d with an N-lVLU. demand on l’! operators for a reduction of the wot-l: week from 50 to 40 hours. The union claims to have tied up 132 vessels.

It was considered likely ~ unity; 0

clauses which provide g lne $M-a-day for strikers removed from the order in a move to encourage 15,000 strikers to re- turn to work,
