In answer to a newspaperman’s quip about his lengthy service and mustering out prospects under the new point system, Gen, Clark chuckled: “Yep ... I've got Rlenty of those points all wight. I guess I've got as many as anybody.” Gen. Clark’s reception at the airport was relatively quiet and intimate. He was first welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Irving Lemaux, and Dr. and Mrs. C. O. McCormick, possibly their closest friends in Indianapolis. Mr. Lemaux is president of} the Security Trust Co. Said Mrs. Clark to Mrs. Lemaux: “Why didn't you give us some sunshine?” " Guest at Luncheon

As the rain slanted down, the honor guard snapped to attention. The general was circled by notables, both ‘military and civilian. . Brig. Gen. Elmer W, Sherwood, state adjutant general, hustled him off to a sleek, black car, one of a cordon -of official automobiles. The procession rolled up to Washingtoh st, then east on Washington st. to Monument circle and the Columbia club. There the general was entertained at a luncheon attended by Governor Gates, ‘Welcomed at Chicago : Yesterday the general and 52 of his 5th army heroes dropped out of the skies and captured the hearts of Chicagoans. and for the general who attended hjgh . school there, it was a rea homecoming.

47-Gun Salute Finally, a cloud of 35 planes appeared on the horizon, shepherding a giant silvery transport. Another transport came jnto view. And.a third. After a few words of greeting from Maygr Edward J. Kelly, the party paraded downtown, where Clark delivered a Memorial day address. He climbed onto the speaker's platform with the acclaim‘of the crowd in his ears and the boom of a 17-gun salute echoing over Grant park and the lake front. “We are deeply grateful for this fine tribute,” the warrior said. “But we also know that you are doing this to pay honor to the men who are still on the battlefields ands those who never will return.”

A Moment of Prayer

The tumultuous crowd became suddenly hushed as the general requested a moment of silent prayer for “those who won the victory for us.”

Not until Clark's speech was finished did his eyes light upon his wife in the grandstand. He rushed to her and, before all the spectators, kissed ‘her vigorously. The general's address was dedicated to the men who made victory in Europe possible. Standing straight and tall and smiling but-with the lines of grave times still clinging to his mouth, he recounted the long and difficult war in Italy. Clark spoke of the Poles, the Aus{trians, the Italian, the American- | Japanese, the Negroes of the

IZVESTIA ATTACKS U. S. CRITICS OF REDS

MOSCOW, May 31 .(U. P.).—The government newspaper, Izvestia; charged today that a campaign of hostility against Russia had been started. in the United States by “people who fear the victory and who primarily fear the - Soviet Union.” “It is only three weeks since the armistice,” Izvestia's international commentator reported. “Peace is still in its diapers. People are just beginning to return to normal life. All their thoughts and aspirations are for insuring victory and peace, but just at this transitional period persons of enfirely different intentions are raising their heads.” Izvestia charged that these persons “apparently have decided the time has come to PRcOUp.” 1 "

End in Sight

Though “30,000 Japanese still remained on southern Okinawa, they had lost their best defense line with the American conquest of Shuri, Naha and the east coast port of Yonabaru. The end of the Okinawa campaign, now in its 61st day, was in sight. Gen. Wedemeyer told American newsmen in Chungking that the allied campaign in China how definitely was “on the upgrade.” &#I am very optimistic over future military developments in China,” he said. He believed the Japanese soon may abandon their whole corridor linking Shanghai ‘and occupied north China with Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.

A Tokyo radio commentator said the shakeup of the Japanese navy high gommand two days ago was designed to ready all branches for suicide tactics as the allied threat to their homeland gained steadily. The broadcast indicated ~ the Japanese might be preparing -to sacrifice destroyers and other units of their diminishing fleet" in hopeless - attacks against the overwhelmingly superior American fleet. The enemy already was using suicide planes and small boats against American warships.
