roaring armada of bombers and fighters. ; : The man who engineered the defeat of Germany's western might had an inexhaustible supply of smiles for the hundreds of thousands who greeted him with shouts of, “Welcome Ike.” : ‘But all he could say when he

-stepped on his home soil for the

first time in a year and a half was, “Oh, God, it's swell to be back.” “For long seconds after ‘he stepped from his plane, following a 21-hour flight from Paris, Gen.

Flag-Banked Streets Then he gave himself up to the crowds of hero-worshippers who had been gathering along Constitution and Pennsylvania aves, for hours. : From the aiport and the Pentagon, where he exchanged tributes with the war department’s thousands, Eisenhower and his men rode through the city in open:reconnaissance cars past jammed thousands along flag-banked streets to the district building. That is Washington’s “city hall.” There the reception reached its noisy -climax. There also he received the key of the city, as he had a few days ago in London. At the Pentagon the 77-year-old

Thanks Civilians Eisenhower said much of the U, 8. ground, air, naval supply, and merchant marine forces, He thanked civilian America in ‘behalf of the millions he led for the weapons and the “confidence ‘land. sympathetic und But he spoke at even more length about the allied unity which never faltered when the fighting was hardest. : “Often,” he said, “have I thanked a kind . providence for these staunch aliles.” He thanked the British for their hospitalities and the sacrifices they made for the common cause. “Every American acquainted with the facts,” he said, “will always carry for them a warm and grateful place deep within his heart.” He praised the “abilities of the Soviet leaders” and said the “caurage and fortitude of their fighting men-—and women-—stir the emotions of any one ‘who admires soldierly virtues.”

Reserve Our Help

He especially lauded the struggle of the peoples conquered by the Germans and said: “Those countries still need and deserve our help.” But Eisenhower's real message, a message he "said was “imbedded deep in the hearts of all fighting men,” was this: “The soldier knows how grim and dark was thesoutlook for the allies in 1941 "and 1942. He is fully aware of the magnificent way the United Nations responded to the threat, “To his mind the problems of peace can be more difficult than the’ one you had to solve more than three years ago, and which, in one battle area, has now been brought to a successful conclusion.

"Earlier at the airport some 30 rel- | atives of members of the general's |! party were given just enough time | to deliver a hasty kiss and wave i their heroes on their way. | iE The claims of a parade-losing, | ® hero-worshipping populace made | extended reunions impossible for i the time being. fF Mrs. Eisenhower—"Of course, I'm i nervous,” she said—was reunited not only with her five-star husband {but also with her first lieutenant | son, John.

First at Airport “Ike's” ship was the first to touch | the ground at ‘the airport. It taxied slowly up behind a jeep bearing the “folfow me” sign to guide the pilot, and a. moment later Eisenhower stepped out—at 10:11 a. m., t Indianapolis time. : With the swarms of escorting planes, the big transports made a majestic sight.‘ They swept in a long circle down over the spire of the Washington monument, the Jeflerson memorial, then banked sharply over the Pentagon building. The big C-54's glistened in the sun as they zoomed low to an altitude of about 200 or 300 feet— then wheeling over the Potomac to frun low over the army air station fat Bolling fleld and part of downtown Washington. ;

Speaking for those millions, Gen.

He said he thought she was looking mighty beautiful. She said she thought he was looking tanned and well, : They both refused to re-enact the kiss for photographers but obligingly stood for hand-in-hand pictures. And for a few minutes photographers had a hey-day taking shots .of the General and Mrs. Eisenhower together with Gen. George C. Marshall.

charged that 593 Red army officers and men had been killed by the Polish underground as a result of lorders issued by Okulicki). One group of the Poles was accused of organizing armed bands in White Russia and the western Ukraine on instructions from the London Polish government for the purpose of attacking Red army for- | mations. . Order to Fight Reds A second group was charged with using : clandestine radio stations.’ The indictment charged that Okulicki admitted under preliminary examination that he ordered the Polish home army to maintain itself intact in order to fight the Red army. It said he admitted operating, during 1944, 25 secret radio stations in Poland and 10 in the western Ukraine. OKulicki also was actused of espionage and sabotage. The indictment quoted am alleged order from Okulicki to one Col. Slaboda, dated March 22, 1945, a few days before the Polish group was arrested. This said:

‘Threaten All Europe’ “A Soviet victory over Germany ‘will threaten not only Britain's interests in Europe but will threaten also all of "Europe. Considering British interests in Europe, Britain will mobilize all Europe's forces into an anti-Soviet bloc. “It is clear that we will occupy first place in this European antiSoviet bloc which cannot be organized without the participation of Germany, which will be controlled by Britain. : “The Polish underground has | joined this anti-Soviet bloc ‘organized by Britain.” Jan Jankowski, vice-premier of the Polish London government, said in reply to a qiiestion: “I am guilty of the main count.” He and others of the group were among those previously recommended by the United States and Britain for inclusion in a new Polish coalition government of national unity. Fifteen of the 16 defendants (one was too ill, to attend) were present as the trial opened in the glittering trade union hall, which was the Nobles “club before the Soviet revolution.

500 Spectators Five hundred spectators, including allied diplomats, foreign correspondents and Soviet dignitaries, crowded the marble-pillared -ballroom of the trade union hall for the opening of the trial. Second Secretary Charles Stevens {of the American embassy was the Soviet traitors were tried in the | same hall in 1936. Crystal chandeliers illuminated proceedings and friezes of nude dancing girls decorated the walls. The trial was expected to become. a sounding board for Soviet charges that the London exile government was carrying on underground warfare against the Red army and thus discredit the regime in the eyes of the United States and Brit- | ain, which still recognize it. The Soviet, press reported widespread acts of terrorism continuing in Poland.

Supreme Court Clears Bridges

{Continued From Page One) cause in the sense in which the statutes uses the term.” In = conclusion, the majority opinion said: “Since Harry Bridges has been ordered deported on a misconstruction of the term ‘affiliation’ as used in the statute and by reason of an unfair hearing on the question of his membership in the Communist party, his detention under the warrant is unlawful.”

“Notions of Moment”

In a concurring opinion, Murphy said the court's concern with the case “does not halt with the fate of Harry Bridges, an alien whose constitutional rights have been grossly violated.” ’ “The significance of this case is far reaching,” Murphy said. “The liberties of the 3,500,000 other aliens in this nation are also at stake, “It would be a dismal prospect for them to discover that their freedom in the United States is dependent upon their conformity to the popular {notions of the moment. Minority Opinion Speaking for hirfiself, Justices Felix * Frankfurter and Owen J. Roberfs, Chief Justice ‘Harlan PF. Stone said in a dissenting opinion: “As we are of opinion that the {finding of Bridges’ membership in (the Communist party, standing | alone, supports the deportation order, and that the finding is supported by evidence, we deem it unnecessary to consider other contentions tq, which the court's opinion is principally directed. “The, evidence ofc membership is of two kinds ,.. It consists of background testimony of numerous witnesses, much of it uncontradicted, which Judge Sears found to be true and. which showed that Bridges had long and continuously associated with Communists and Communist party organizations, and had exhibited a sympathetic attitude toward the Communist party and its program. . “More important and decisive of the issue now before us is evidence concerning Bridges. Interviews with two witnesses which, if true as to either interview, showed that Bridges, both by his words and con-
