RELEASE OF VICTORY NEWS
Delay Causes Criticism
(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, May 8. What is described as the scandal of the suppression of the victory news is the main topic of conversation in Parisian Press and financial circles, says the Paris correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Agency. Newspaper correspondents’ dispatches with stories of the capitulation are still lying this afternoon in censors’ offices, but the United States Army newspaper, The Stars and Stripes, and the Office of War Information radio station yyhich were subject to the same censorship, car-
ried complete stories based on sources other than SHAEF. The Paris- edition of The New York Herald Tribune says that the Army Public Relations Division, which suspended all transmission facilities throughout Europe, insisted that the announcement must await our official release. It apparently entertained the delusion that such world-shattering tidings could be held up even for an hour, or still less, for a whole day.
