Stage Door Conteen Lets Down
Bars to WAVES and WACS

WAVES and WACS were admit
ted inside the Stage Door Canteen
last night for the first time, when
the bars were let down for them
briefly in real victory celebration.
Even with these extra guests,
however, the canteen crowd was far
below its average, as servicemen de-
serted it shortly before 7 pm. for
nearby Lafayette Park. One couple
remained on the dance floor.
It was two hours later before the
servicemen were coming in again.
Wearing the caps of servicewomen
they had robbed outside. one group
entered shouting. "The wars over
we're out of a job"
Two shore patrolmen wearing
harassed looks were greeted inquir-
ingly at the door. We're just tax
ing care of them" one explained
YEARLY. We're just keeping them
from getting hurt. Could we just
get drink of water?"
Inside, a dignified, white haired
volunteer "busboy" looked startled
when a visiting WAVE attempted to
embrace him. regardless of the tray
OF coffee cups he carried. Another
WAVE rescued the dishes and the
embrace went on.

Wounded in Hospitals
React Calmly 10
Surrender News

In contrast to the hilarity of civ
ilian celebrators, wounded fighters
paying the price of peace in Army
and Navy hospitals reacted with
surprising calmness to the news of
the wars end.
They cheered President Truman's
announcement and rushed to tele-
phones. They slapped each other on
the back. Then the uproar died
down. The boys kept on smiling. but
they had seen too much excitement
to want to keep it up.
At the Naval Hospital in Be-
thesda, Md, many patients were at
the movies on the grounds when the
picture went off and radio voice
brought the long awaited news.
Laughing men scampered for tele-
phone booths to share the news
with their families. Their first
tnought-"Now we can 60 home
echoed down the corridors.
Cluster in Groups.
Patients on the wards clustered
In little groups and began to talk
quietly of peace.
Walter Reed Hospital arranged
no formal celebration. Today there
will be special church services in
addition to Catholic masses already
arranged for Ascension Day.
Il don't believe any of the boys
will get drunk, although you couldn't
blame them if they did, said Capt
George L. Cotton, Baptist chaplain.
They feel it is time to give thanks,
but not for hilarity. This war cost
too much"
While most Of the soldiers had
hoped that Emperor Hirohito would
go, they were satisfied with Presi-
dent Truman's announcement of
unconditional surrender.
Corpl. Joseph Chavis Of Mount
Rose, Colo, liberated from Bilibid
Prison after three years as a Jap
anese prisoner of war. said it will
be easier than the public realizes
to train the japanese to become
decent citizens"
Calls Japs Intelligent"
IT think the Japs are pretty in
telligent," said Corpl. Chavis, who
was wounded and captured by them
on Corregidor. "The people didn't
have anything to do with starting
this war. They won't want to fight
the United States again.
Not all the soldiers reacted in
the same way. Peace started an
argument between two patients in
the amputation ward.
"Oh, it's all right" murmured
Corpl. Edmund Kowaldzyk of
Brooklyn, who lost leg in France.
What do you mean all right"
Pvt. Sam Love Of Havre de Grace,
Md, turned on him belligerently.
you are happy. It's wonderful. I
don't want to see my kid brother
coming back the way I am"
Il was talking about the boys still |
over there" insisted Corpl. Kowald-
Eyk. THE guerillas will go on fight
ing. 1t will be a long time before
our forces can get out of Japan. and
1t will be long time before we get |
out Of here"
The WACs on duty at the hospital
talked excitedly of going home. Only
Pvt. Louella Wallis of Chicago SEEM
ed reflective. In way the war ended
for her when her husband, Pfc. Nor
man Wallis was killed in France. Her
war job as physical thereapist will
continue into the peace.
Patients who could walk spilled |
out onto the lawns and listened to
the uproar on Georgia avenue They
laughed at reporters and photogra-
pliers rushing by them.
Sure. its wonderful. But we've
been expecting this for a week" Pfc.

One sailor wore a taxicab "on duty"
sign around his neck.
Everybody was happy but the VOL

Police Investigate MonoFchist Riot

Pamplona, Dec. 6-UP)--Madrid police officials arrived to inves- tlgate a monarchist demonstration Monday in which one person was killed, eight wounded and at least POO arrested.
 The deaths resulted when police opened fire on at least 2,000 Carlist demonstrators who were denounc- ing Gen. Francisco Franco and shouting death to the Falange and the Franco syndicates."
 The demonstrators wore the traditional red berets of the Carlist Movement and listened to speakers who denounced the food situation, called for universal suffrage, att tackled the tyranny of the Franco regime, and demanded a Democra- tic constitutional monarchy.
 There were 30 police on duty in the square and they charged the crowd, yielding rubber truncheons, after shot was fired. Some 300 police then swarned in, armed with rifles, and opened fire.
 About 80 shots were fired in all. The speakers escaped in the melee and about 200 Carlists took refuge in their club building on the Gen. tral Square. Later, they surrendered in small groups and were arrested by the police.
 Carlist leaders said that 10000 persons had been expected to att tend the demonstration. However, they charged that Gov. Juan Jun gera ordered the mayors of outlying towns and villages to make travel to Pamplona as difficult as possible, thus holding down the size of the crowd.

Boston, Dec. 6-(UP)-Col. Por- ter H. Adams, 51, a descendant of two early U. s. presidents and for mer president of Norwich universi- ty was found dead in his Back Bay home by nurse earl yesterday. He apparently was the victim of heart disease for which he had been un- der treatment.s
 Internationally known as 8 pi- oneer in aviation, Adams helped make possible Col Charles A. Lind bergh's historic Lone Eagle" flight to Paris in 1927.
 Elected president of Norwich in 1884, Adams headed the Vermont Military College until 1944 when Illness forced him to retire and at- tempt to recuperate in Arizona.
 Descendant Of Presidents
 A native of Andover, Adams was son of MT. and Mrs. Charles A. Adams and was descended from She second and sixth U. s. presi- dents, John and John Quincy Adams.
 A graduate of Massachusetts h. stitute of Technology, Adams joined the Naval Air Corps in 1917 as an enlisted man and rose through the ranks until he was discharged at the close of World War I as 1ieutenant-commander.
 Tn 1916, Adams drew information al headlines when he and Miss Irene McGuill Gourlay of Toronto staged a sensational elopment in which the brides mother futilely pursued them. Three years later he obtained a divorce on desertion grounds.
 Fought For Lindbergh
 xn 1923 he wed Mrs. Dorothy Johnson Salisbury, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Melvin M. Johnson, Bos- ton sociahtes. Adams was divorced by her and in 1881 he married Miss Susan Shorter of Washington. Miss Shorter was his secretary. At that marriage the late Mrs Amelia Ear hart Putnam was matron of hon. or.
 As president of the National Aeronautic Association, Adams fought with members of the group who opposed Colonel Iindbergh's solo flight of the Atlantic After . long siege, Adams, who was a close friend of Lindbergh, man. seed to sway the association so that 1t authorized the flight provided Adams assumed full responsibility fer 1t.
