The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 11—8:50 p.m.]
4726. Special German Series No. 12. After receiving Murphy’s 290 to London May 10, 7 p.m. (number of Murphy’s message to Department was not indicated in his repeat to London45) I called up Ambassador Murphy by telephone and I find that we are not in disagreement in regard to coordination. He had not understood that my reference (my 4600 May 6, 4 p.m.) was to article 4 of the brief surrender terms signed by SHAEF. When I sent my 4600 I had been told that the draft of the brief surrender terms to be used had already been forwarded to the Combined Chiefs of Staff.
