SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 24.—San Francisco ight is a city filled with prayer, a city t considers itself more important than y fighting front in the world. For the cess of the United Nations Security con-ence is felt by the visitors and the people
of San Francisco to be the most important happenstance in the history of nations.
But in spite of this heartfelt enthusiasm, shared by representatives of 85 per cent of the peoples of the world, this city is filled with fantastic rumors, rumors that are at once humorous and far-leading in consequence.
The Russians seem to cop the major part of gossip with their ship anchored outside the Golden Gate laden with cavier and other delicacies; story has it that the ship operates a direct radio-telephone to Stalin, plus the fact that Molotov is the mystery man of the conferance.
Most serious and diabolical of rumors is that the Lublin Polish government representatives may be on board the Russian ship along with the caviar and vodka.
Highlighting the colorful side of the conference is the imposing list of San Francisco’s visitors, to include a few: Marshal Smuts from South Africa. America’s own Stettinius, Anthony Eden from England, Jan Masaryk from Czechoslovakia, Padilla from Mexico, U. S. delegate Stassen, Velloso from Brazil, plus Soong and Molotov.
The city has aproximately 1300 official delegates, and the bay city’s surplus of visitors is augmented by thousands of newspapermen, aides-de-camp, and interested
spectators.
Hotel reservations are absolutely at a premium, and lines have been forming for days in hotel lobbies. Prevalent among fly-by-night reports is that V-E day will be declared at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon, when the first official session of the conference opens in the San Francisco opera house. Or, if V-E day isn’t declared the complete capitulation of Berlin will be announced.
So tonight San Francisco is settling back and girding herself for an arduous struggle: the determination of the question, “Will the people of the nations represented here be able to create a world organization that will prevent World war III.”

LONDON, Apr. 25— (U.P)—1Two Russian armies have joined forces inside Berlin and W'on control of more than half of the toppling Reich capital where Adolf Hitler, in a final gesture of defiance, was reported last night to be gathering his surviving troops for the last stand of Germany.
Twelve more of the blasted and burning suburbs fell to Red army forces closing to within three miles of the exact center of the city from north, east and south, a Soviet communique announced, making a total of 33 captured. Roughly, 180 of greater Berlin’s 332 square miles had been cleared.
(Radio Luxembourg heard by exchange telegraph said that the Russians had completely occupied Berlin and that the Red banner was flying from the Brendenburg gate. Most houses are flying white sheets and resistance has ended with only mopping up operations remaining, the broadcast said.)
