EISENHOWER (rontlnued from Tiikc* One! walked toward the greeting committee and Ike began pumping arms. Mingling with the crowd, tc the confusion of his military escort, the five-star general smiled broadly as he recognized two childhood friends, C. H. Case and C. M. Hnarger. Said Case, with the car,dor of one Kansas to an-
other;
"You may be a big shot every place else but you're no bigger to us than ever.” To this remark, by which Case said he meant he had known all along that ‘‘Ike would go places,” the General replied with a mischievous grin: "Who the hell said I was ” Then Gen. Eisenhower spurned the official automobile await, ing him and strode down through the screaming mass of Ab lene humanity, which respectfully kept from completely engulfing hloi. A slow walk around the block adjoining the railroad station with his chattering admirers bringing up the rear and Ike puffing a cigarette while taking in familiar scenes, and the returned hero climbed into his car and was driven toward his mother’s home. There he went at once to his aged mother to inquire about her health and planned a night's rest from the tr.umphant, but arduous, homecoming tour reaching its climax here today. The Eisenhower home overflowed with many floral offerings™ from orchids to Shasta lillies sent from Abilene residents and those of nearby towns. Among several gifts was one certain to please the ex-farm boy turned soldier. It was two boxes of fresh raspberries, th ? first of the donor’s crop. Their contributor was indentified on! , as ‘‘the litle man who lives down by security hills." That's what Eisenhower jik-.a ah.out his hometown AGREEMENT SEEN LONDON, June 22.—(UP1 A Moscow dispatch hinted today that an official announcement of

garding an agreement between | f , an ._ Deut . 3. 25 .
Stanislaw Mikilajczyk, head of a |
delegation of moderate Polish leaders from London ,and representatives of the Soviet-sup-ported Polish provisional govern-
ment in Warsaw.
“An oi-.cial announcement is forthcoming,” the dispatch said. No details were given in the dispatch, but Mikolajczyk, former premier of the Polish exile government in London, and the other conferees have been atLmpting to set up a coalition government in line with the Yalta recommendations of the
Big Three.
The United States and Britain have indicated they will withdraw their recognition of the London government in favor of the provisional cabinet at Watsaw if it were broadened to iivclude Mikolajczyk and other Poles abroad. Members of the present London government were not invited to the Moscow con-
ference.
Twelve members or supporters of the London government were sentenced by Russia only yesterday to four montns to 10 years in prison for terrorism against the Red Army. A Polish home bioadcast last night said the Warsaw provisional government intends to try and punish the defendants for “crimes against the Polish state" after (hey have finished their terms in

“I was 30 pounds underweight and felt so weak and nervous that the least excitement upset me. I rarely slept the night through. Sluggish elimination forced me to take strong laxatives frequently. I seemed unable to regain any strength or weight and I had so little appetite that
eating was a task.
“Retonga gave me more relief than everything elae put together. I have a fine appetite, I sleep fine, and get up feelihg fine. The twenty seven pounds I regained puts me back to normal weight. The constipation ia relieved, and I feel stronger than in years. Retonga was a blessing to me.” Retonga is Intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l de’iciency, constipation, insufficient flow of digestive Juice* in the stomach, and losa of appetite. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at Mullins Drug
