Seattle, May 24— (UP) —The first overseas soldiers discharged under the new point system to ' reach American soil today grate- | fully drank in gulps of big city I atmosphere. Arriving here from Alaska last | night, the weary veterans had I their first glimpse of home in years. They were too amazed at the crowds of women, the white tablecloths and the cigarette , shortage during their reintroduc- ■ tion to nightlife to say more than: “Boy, it's sure good to be home.” There was no shouting or weeping as the army transport with 30 vets aboard landed at- Doting Field. The homecoming was a quiet one. It was the end of a long trail that for many wound through Pearl Harbor, Bataan, North Africa, France and Attn. Tile first woman the Gl’s aftw —many of them hadn’t seen one for two years—was a girl perched I on a freight dock at the field. But i none of the tired vets even whistled. One wisecracked, “hey, what's that?” The local press was on hand to welcome the boys. Photographers’ flash bulbs popped and a j lieutenant gave orders. Then a I few of the soldiers who had wangled passes departed for the bright lights of the city. In the gleaming elegance of a nightclub, the men perked up. They whistled at a passing blonde and decided the women were wearing funny hats these days. T/4 Frank Sommers, Glendale, Cal., had his eye on the pretty waitress with a flower in her hair. “Haven’t seen anything except nurses over 40 for two years,” he told her. The campaign-ribboned Gl's didn’t think too much of their first, stateside dinner. There wasn’t any butter or cream or meat. But they were too elated to eat much anyway. Mrs. Don Reiher and Mrs. Mary Ahr attended the Pythian Sister convention in Wabash Wednesday.

These boys are our relai tives, our neighbors, our friends. I It is grievous to us that they must ! suffer, and who better appreciates i the amount of suffering they endure than the veterans of this war and the last? “Those on the home front wish to show that they remember and revere those who died in both wars, and to do this, they wear the poppy. This little red flower expresses for us feelings that are too deep to put into words. It is one way. of telling the heroic dead that we will all do our best to ‘keep up the good fight.’ “The women of the American Legion Auxiliary will be on the streets all day Saturday offering the poppies made by disabled vetBretton Woods Wins Committee Approval Washington, May 24—(UP) — The house banking committee approved the Bretton Woods agreements by a 23 to 3 vote today, giving the administration a thumping first round victory on that sector of its foreign policy front.
