(Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set -# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people -# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, -# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, -# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word -# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in -# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. - -# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From -# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: -# -# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. -# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a -# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. -# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out -# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental -# importance." -# -# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open -# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, -# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. -# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." -# -# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. - -# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): -# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations -# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of -# U.S. government action.
