Himmler Plea
To Quit Bared
Offer to Surrender
Told in Book 'The End'
STOCKHOLM, June 16 (INS)
—A dramatic midnight mooting
in which • tired and shaken
Heinrich Himmler agreed to sur
render Germany * western armies
was described today in his hook,
"The End." a sensational account
of Nazi disintegration written by
Swedish Count Folke Remadotte.
The Swedish Red Cross official
who communicated the offer to
the Allies said the former gestapo
chief agreed to "anything." in
cluding surrender of Norway and
Denmark, during a two-hour talk
in Luebeck the night of Apnl 23
and 24
Interrupted by an air raid, the
conference at the Swedish lega
tion’s provisional headquarters
was resumed by candlelight.
IGNORED OPPOSITION
Himmler, declaring himself no
longer bound by his personal oath
to the presumably dead Hitler,
asked that his surrender proposals
be transmitted to the United
States and Britain
Declaring the situation hope-1
leas, he readily agreed to release
King Leopold of Belgium and
halt death sentences imposed by,
the Nazis in Denmark.
The meeting was arranged by i
Brigadier Fuehrer Walter Schell- j
erberg. chief of the German in
formation department, despite the
opposition of SS Chieftain Hans<
Kaltenbruenner, Bernadotte
wrote.
AGREED TO FREE JEWS
The surrender offer of the
former school-teacher who died
by his own hand after his cap
ture followed several previous
meetings in which he agreed to
release Jewish captives from cer
tain German concentration camps.
Bernadotte. convinced that Hit
ler was murdered by a poison
Injection some time before hi*
death was announced, declared
the fuehrer died a coward—as
cowardly as all his satellites.

Opium Pact Ignored
In Peace Charter
--
By RAY RICHARDS
D*trait Time* Waihtncton Bintl
WASHINGTON, June* 16— The profit mojjve on the part of
| "certain nations” was blamed today by Hep. Judd (R) of Minne
sota for keeping a pledge for strict international control of
opium from the United Nations charter.
The state department is maintaining an inconsistent attitude,
be said, and the issue is being dodged at San Francisco by
specious language and actions.
“Influences working against a specific control clause in
the charter are as subtle as the international opium traffie
Itself," the congressman asserted.
A medical missionary in China
for 20 years and a witness of the
start of Jain's use of opium as a
weapon of war in occupied zones.
Rep. Judd disclosed that before
the San Francisco conference on
international organization
he called at the state department
in behalf of proposed instructions
to the American delegation to
work for the insertion in the
framework of the United Nations
chapter of opium control ma
chinery similar to that of the old
League of Nations. He said:
"I wan Informed that the
charter would not contain what
the department referred to as
‘•uhstantatlve matters,' hut
would merely he a constitution
and set of h>laws lor the world
association.
CALLED 'SUBSTANTATIVE*
“Opium, thej assured me, I
uniild he a 'substantatlve'
matter.'
"Vet I see now that the
nearly complete charter eon
tains a long list of matters just
as ‘substantatlve' as opium
control.
Dr. Judd said that, shifting:
from the inconsistency of thei
state department to the specious
actions and language at San Fran
cisco. he found the authors of the
charter there saying that it is
"tacitly understood’’ that opium
control W'ill he within the province
of the world organization’s social 1
and economic council.
“I *would like an answer to
the question of why nil these ,
other ‘suhstantiitive matters* |
ran be named In the eharter,
and opium control cannot,” the
congressman said.
LABOR, OPIUM IGNORED
Of the great world problems,
only labor and opium are un
mentioned in the charter as so
far drafted, he pointed out.
"I ran understand the split
on labor Issues, hut 1 have to
look for the concealed profit
motive on the part of certain
nations before I can understand
the opposition to opium con
trol," he sajd.
"It costs virtually nothing in
Asiatic countries to grow pop
pies and extract opium and its
many deadly derivatives. The
financial return is stupendous.
It Is huge enough to influence
world power*.
"And there, I am afraid, we
have the explanation.”
Dr. Judd is author of a reso
lution passed by Congress Hnd
signed by President Roosevelt,
calling on all the Allied Nations
to agree to restrict production of
opium and its derivatives to medi
cal and scientific needs.
WORLD ADDICTION SEEN
"Today at San Francisco is
the appropriate time and place
to reach the agreement, and
the charter Is the logical docu
ment," he said.
“The words ‘opium control’
should he written after the
word ‘health’ In the charter's
Chapter 9, Section 8. which en
trusts to the social and eco
nomic council ‘lnternational
economics, health and other re
lated problems.’
"If this Is not done, the coun
cil will not be responsible and
can he kept by the profit
motive from stopping an ancient
evil.
"The United Nations are or
ganizing to prevent war. Yet
the narcotic habit has killed
more human* than battle.”

Appeasement Aid
| By FDR Told
Wanted Duce Soothed,
Vatican Paper Says
ROME, June 16 (INS)—Brit
ain’s and France’s "appeasement
policy” toward Mussolini during
the first months of war was rein
forced by the advice of President
Roosevelt, according to a Vatican
document, published today in the
Jesuit organ, "Civilta Cattolta."
The document is a memoran
dum written by Secretary of j
State Cardinal Magltom*. record
ing a conversation w ith Sumner j
Welles. President Roosevelt's per-
sonal envoy to Rome, March 17,
1910. Their talk immediately fol
lowed a visit to Rome by Joachim
\on Ribbentrop, Hitler's envoy.
OPPOSES ‘IRRITATION*
Referring to the Rrenner Pass
meeting between Hitler and Mus
solini, arranged by Ribbentrop on
that day, the cardinal had told
Welles:
"It i* to he hoped that Mu*-
Millni will take into account
popular opinion and will not
launch Into a perilous adven
ture. The Allies, lei whom
Italy'* non-belligerence I* mo*t
Important, should a\oid irritat
ing Mussolini."
WELLES AGREE*
Cardinal Maglione’s memoran
dum continued:
"Welle* said that was exactly
hi* opinion. He added that,
although the United States' re
lation* with Italy had until
recently not been cordial. Presi
dent Roosevelt had already ad
vised the Allied |*ower* to he
caution* and prudent toward*
Italy and to avoid offending her
with unwelcome measure*.”
The document is among the
}memoranda of the Pope’s elTorts
,to prevent the war, which are
published by the Jesuit organ as
a supplement to the recent Yati
jean brochure revealing the Pope’s
'attempts to restrain Mussolini.

men of the 86th will report for
training in techniques of the
Pacific war.
In December, the 86th was

to cross the Danube after joining
The heavy offensive west of Re
gensburg.
The Black Hawk Division is the
first to return, although it was
one of the last to reach Europe.

for sending the freshest European
veterans to the Pacific first.
