The commander of the Allied - expeditionary forces was en route ' from hi- home in Abilene, Kam;. to Washington. The small crowd of civilians that i managed to surround his special] ear on a Pennsylvania train, and j a larger group of soldiery from a I nearby troop train kept the general I busy signing autographs. He wis i accompanied by his wife and son. Hello, soldiers, any of you been ■ over with me?" were Eisenhower's j first words as the train roiled into 1 Hie city. Receiving many affirm- | ative answers from admiring G. i I.'s, he said. "All of you did a line job. 1 am proud." He spoke of Lt. Gen. Walter Bedel] Smith, tlie 'Hoosier hero who returned recently to this city after signing the German surrender documents for Eisenhower. "I hear yon had quite a celebration for ‘Beedle.’ ” he said. “I wish 1 could have been here." When asked about his plans for the future, Eisenhower said. “I’m going bac k to Washington and hide awhile.” The live-star general also stopped briefly at Terre Haute and Richmond. ihd. At Terre Haute, he praised the city’s war bund eale record in a platform appearance. “I havp just 1021’iicd that Tci’i'fi ] Haute has been leading the state | of Indiana in bond sales," he said. ! “but in battle it is not enough to | lead.

One of these, located in the Grant Hotel, expects eventually to limit its dining room ser-1 vice to permanent and transient ’ guests ot me notel. although the I public was still being served to-1 day. Food shortages, principally I meat, was given as the reason fori closing the eating establishments. ] Most plan to remain closed until I next Sunday, July 1, when a new ’ quota of ration points will go in I effect.

said that ration points would not alleviate the situation if there is nothing to exchange the points for. Peter J. Sutter, who operates the Victory restaurant, one of the larger eating places, closed up today. He did a rushing business yesterday serving chicken in ' a variety of styles. Sutter was' down to one cook —himself, after | one quit and another went to a I hospital with burns from a kiteh-1 en explosion. “We had baked chicken willt dressing, stewed chicken ami { noodles, fried chicken and chick- ' |en n-la-king," Sutler said. ‘‘They | cleaned me oui. Just as 1 was I getting ready to close up last I night, a group of service men i came in ami said they were hunj gry. All 1 had left was chicken giblets. Now, they’re gone." Sutter complained that the shut- ] down had spoiled his annual vaca- ! tion because he did not dare leave | town in the event a supply of

meat should suddenly become available. "1 usually go fishing up in Minnesota," he said. "If I could get away, 1 know I’d come back with enough fish to keep the place going a day or two but I just don t dare go. The front door is locked but 1 just sit here waiting and ! hoping the meat truck will stop. I 1 haled to close but 1 had nothing | to sell.” "Doc” Galbreath, manager of l the Grant Hotel, said he would ' "stick it out to the bitter end." {lie said "We're still able to make soup and we hope to' give our patrons all the soup and crackers they can eat. Then, of course, there’s still eggs. We fry them, scramble them, coddle them, boil ’em. poach ’em and put 'em in omelets. Myself, I’m sick of eggs.” Major George W. Smith said last night that the food situation jin Mattoon was serious and>that he had been unable to secure re-

lief to date. The city has a population of 15,009. There are 509 transients employed in construeing a new war plant on the outskirts of the city for Garwood Industries of Detroit. These men depend on restaurants for their food and have expressed dissatis- i faction over their recent meatless diet. o CHURCHILL (Continued From Page One) don suburb, but that did not necessarily mean that he would continue as prime minister. Under the British system, the king asks the party which wins a majority of seats in commonfl to form a new government. Thus the Conservative party would have to win a majority if Churchill is to continue as prime minister, or even in the government. 0 (Proeperity is not without many ' fears and distastes.—'Beacon.
