Friday, May 4 (1945)

Still cold and showery. Every variety of difficulty in getting "gibbet" built. Couldn't get carpenters to plumb posts. Spent all day trying to get my drawings for 5 ton carriage complete. By evening pretty well straightened out. We are working light and will be some time to come. Langston says we're running our great rival utterly ragged. It may be. They seem to be getting desperate. Trying to break p our cafeteria, etc. Today Nazis in Holland quit and British entered Denmark. Also cleared Rangoon after three years.
