LONDON—(U.P.)—

Paris was reported firmly in Allied hands tonight, conquered by the overwhelming might of American and French armored forces and a motley street army of hundreds of thousands of Parisian patriots.

A secret Fighting French radio inside the old capital flashed word to the world this afternoon-that the commander of the Nazi garrison, had surrendered unconditionally, barely 12 hours after Lieut. Gen. Omar N. Bradley ordered his French and American troops into the city.
