Ike And Son
 Return Home
By SAM SMITH

[ Kansas City. Mo, June 21 GU. PD - General Dwight D. Eisen- hover comes to Kansas City today by plane from West Point, N. Y.
 Eisenhower C-54 transport took off from Stewart field, nine miles north of West Point, at 7:05 a. m, EWT. It was expected to arrive at Kansas City at 1:05 p. m. EWT.
 His son, Lieutenant John Eisen- hover, also was aboard the plane.
 The Supreme Allied Commander will receive the greatest reception ever given anyone in Kansas City when he lands here. It will be his last stop on his triumphal journey from the battlefields of Europe to his home at Abilene, Kans.
 Eisenhower spent the night at a hotel on the U. s. Military Reserva- tion at West Point after a day of inspection and reviewing units at the military academy from which he was graduated 30 years ago.
 He spent last evening with Major General Francis B. Wilby, superin- tendent of the Academy, after a jeep ride to camp Popolopen and a visit to the academy chapel. He re- tired early.
 Eisenhower will be given a l7-gun salute when he steps from the plane. An Army band will be on hand. Then, immediately after the official greetings, General Ike will be given 30 minutes of private life before the Kansas City big doings begin.
 The 30 minutes were set aside to give Eisenhower some time with his mother, Mrs. Ida Eisenhower, who travelled here from Abilene, and his four brothers. It will be thelr first such family reunion in several years.
 The reunion will be followed by a two-mile parade down Kansas City'S bunting bedecked Grand ave- nue to Liberty Memorial mall. The generals wife and Mayor John B. Gage will ride with Eisenhower. Behind them will stretch a parade 10 blocks long.
 Eisenhower was scheduled to speak for 20 minutes after being presented to the crowd by Gov. Andrew Schoeppel of Kansas. More than 1,500 Gold Star parents will occupy seats of honor before Hill top Tower monument for those who died in World War One. Afte. his speech, Eisenhower will place a wreath at the base of the tower
 The Eisenhower family will then leave for Union station and the train trip to Abilene and the home town welcome awaiting him there The Abilene tribute-at which more than 50,0O0 are expected-will be held tomorrow.

Paris Tough Place
 Now Even For Rich

this allotment.
 The government, too, is trying hard to stamp out the black market The food ministry now has ordered restaurants to serve only one meal meal weekly and steps are being taken to force farmers to sell theh produce - many farmers had beer holding back supplies on the clain that prices weren't high enough tt pay for their fodder.
 But most Frenchmen are skeptica of the new program. They are con. vinced there will be no real i'm. provement until more meat, sugar and fats are imported, along witt machinery and fertilizer for tht farmers.
 Returning prisoners of war whe found that the rich were getting suits for $500 apiece, whereas the government was unable to outfit them. simply raided the departmen stores and took what they needed. Now the government has taker over the clothing stores in Paris but the liberated prisoners still are dissatisfied because they can't draw the double meat rations to which their special ration cards entitle them.
 The average ration is now fixec at 1,500 calories daily. and, except for slight improvement in fats there is not expected to be much change in that level unless more food is brought in from abroad.
 The French peasants. naturally fare best of all in the food line They eat abundantly and even supply their city relatives with food par cels.
 These summer days, the parks of Paris are crowded with French fam flies enjoying the peace and sum- shine about the only free things in the city. But even there, glass of phoney fruit juice at a sidewalk cafe costs 40 cents. And an evening in a night club runs upwards o1 $40.
 The cheapest seat at neighbor. hood movie house costs dollar and the price is $3.50 at the swan kier Film palaces along the Champs Elysees. Even that Paris edition o1 the New York Herald Tribune costs ten cents.
 Velo-taxis, little carriages pulled by Menon bicycles,ar for hire at $4 mile. and bottle of low grade wine that cost 40 cents be- fore the war sells now for three dollars.
 Even the so-called glamorous foreign correspondents are forced tc eat only in Army messes and live a restricted noted life where the only consolation is gin rummy.
 American and French authorities alike predict another heatless win ter for the French, who suffered cruelty last winter.
 To import the goods that would east their plight they must obtain foreign exchange by exporting, and their few available good art toe high priced to sell abroad.
 The tourist trade, Frances third largest industry before the war, is out of the question for the moment And the fashion trade is flat, as it would have to be with an ordinary gown selling for $500.

Paris, June 21-(UP)-Liberated Paris, once the fashion and night life center of the world, is an im- poverished city today, ridden by imitation and gouging black-marke- teerS.
 It is a city where a pair of leather shoes costs $130, a bathtub $500 and an ordinary kitchen chair $20. And where a disconsolate chambermaid says sadly:
 The only difference in ten months of liberation is that now it's even getting fought for the rich.'
 Today, even wealthy engaged couples haunt the famous Parisian flea markets" in search of second- hand linen, furniture and table ware. To equip five-room apart ment even modestly would cost a honeymooning couple $10,00O.
 All last winter man with money could eat black market food every night, whereas the poor frequently went for six weeks and more with out even a morsel of horseflesh. The results were apparent in the April elections, which showed marked swing to the left.
 Now there are many in Paris who fear the Communists will take over the government. And there are as many more who fear they won't.
 Meanwhile, the ordinary Parisian housewife teeters to market on her uncomfortable wooden Thoes to find that the food situation is no better than ever, with the exception of fats
 The average stenographer earn ing perhaps $60 a month. cannot af- ford strawberries priced at $l60 a pound. But her chief complaint is not over such luxuries as straw berries.
 She is irritated by the irregular ity of her standard rations. She may be able to get two pounds of potatoes this week and then none at all for month.
 On the other hand, there is plenty of bread and meat ration has gone up from nothing at all to enough for one meal per week. Last week Parisians received two- fifths of pound of American lard and government hopes to increase
