29th in Bremen Area.
The 29th Infantry Division had
its bitterest fighting in the siege
and capture of St. Lo and later was
engaged in bloody fighting on the
Brest Peninsula. When Brest was
captured the 29th swung back to
the east and participated in the
drive into Germany.
The 29th, assigned to the 7th
Army, is part of the Bremen force
and is stationed in the Bremen area
The 1st Armored Division went
into action in North Africa against
Rommels Panzers and then was
sent into the battle for Italy. It
fought its way up the long penin-
sula through almost perfect defen-
sive positions occupied by the Ger
mans. The outfit is still in italy.
1t is to become part of the 7th Army
and move into the Halle area.
The 4th Armored was Gen. Pat
tons pride and spearheaded most of
the Sd Army's dash from the Cher
bourg Peninsula. onto the Brest
Peninsula and then eastward into
Germany. 1t was the 4th Armored
which led Gen. Patton's spectacular
winter drive and was the first
armored outfit in the Sd Army to
cross the Rhine. The 4th continued
its spearheading role until the COL
lapse of Germany. 1t is now as
signed to the 7th Army and will
operate in the Regensburg Neu-

Locations May Be Changed.
These locations for the occupation
troops are not necessarily perma-
nent, since the dispositions are in a
constant state of f1ux due to the
withdrawal of certain divisions for
deployment elsewhere.
The Sd Army area will coincide
roughly with the boundaries of
Bavaria while the 7th Army will
control the remainder of the Ameri-
can zone. Boundaries OF the this
area will not be determined until it
is decided how much territory the
French Army will occupy.
Seventh Army headquarters pre-
sumably will be at Heidelberg, cur
rently the headquarters of the 9Th
Army group.
Third Army headquarters are
listed tentatively as Bad Tolz, just
south of Munich.

Pile is extended to you, Gen. Eisen-
hover" Mayor La Guardia said
The general leaned over slightly to
shake hands and replied, Thank
you very much"
Then Gen. Eisenhower and the
Mayor entered an automobile, fly
ing the generals five-star flag, and
left the fog-shrouded field on a
35-mile tour of the city.
The cheers that greeted the gen.
eral and other members of his party,
in automobiles to the rear, mounted
as the caravan crossed the Tri-
borough Bridge, left the borough of
Queens and entered Manhattan.
Mrs Eisenhower, meanwhile, ar
rived from Washington at Pennsyl-
vania Station, where she was greet
ed by Mrs. La Guardia and a num-
ber of Army officers before leaving
for City Hall ceremonies in her
husbands honor.
Threatened rain held off and the
temperature was in the d-70's,
coolest in five days. as the Eisen-
hover caravan proceeded through
Central Park and down Fifth Ave-
nue.. The general wore a tropical
worsted summer uniform and a
summer cap.
He was visibly touched as 10000
school pupils, lining the park drives,
cheered and waved little flags. Now
and then he stood up in the car to
wave and grin. A Navy blimp hov-

The procession halted briefly at

milling crowds.
Only a little torn paper fluttered
down on the Oscar procession. Au-
thorities had asked that the gen.

Thousands on balconies and in
windows along the red, white and
blue decked avenue received Gen.
Eisenhower's smart salute. From the
steps Of st. Patrick's Cathedral a
number Of Catholic clergymen
waved at the general.
A tremendous roar greeted the
general as he arrived at City Hall,

Gen. Eisenhower Leaves
Capital Without Ceremony

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT of Eisen-
hover press conference at the
Pentagon. Page B-1
Gen. Eisenhower hoped off at
|8:43 am. today from National Air
port carrying with him the memory
of the most tumu1tuous welcome
ever bestowed on any hero by the
citizens of the Nations Capital.
Gen. Eisenhower plane and the
three others making up his party
got into the air on schedule and
disappeared into murky horizon.
The scene at Gen. Eisenhower
departure was in striking contrast
to his brilliant reception at the
airport at II am. yesterday. There
was no ceremony as he boarded the
plane today, but all was business.
Gen. Eisenhower take-off was
delayed 13 minutes because he for
got sword which he needed for
his welcoming ceremony at West
Point.
The sword had been left at his
hotel and the general sent his aide
de-camp, 1t. Col. Ernest r. Lee
back for it.
MPs Guard Runway.
A large detail of MPs guarded the
runway around the planes as the
general slighted from his car, ac-
|companied by 1t. Gen. Harold L
George. commanding general of the
Air Transport Command.
Gen. Eisenhower looked around
and started to climb the steps tc
his personal plane, the "Sunflower, ;
named for the official flower OF his
home State, Kansas.
Half way up the steps a soldier
emerged from group of MPs and
called General" Gen Eisenhower
turned, recognized the soldier ano
descended couple of steps and
shook hands with him.
1t was Corpl. M. Hanson of the
703d MP Battalion, stationed al
Fort Myer, Va.
How are you getting along these
days?" the general asked, smiling
broadly.
"Just fine, thanks, general" the
corporal replied.
Afterward, Corpl. Hanson ex-
planned that he used to be Gen
Eisenhower's driver when the gen.
eral was chief of staff to Gen
Walker Kruger at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Tex, in 194l.
Gen. Eisenhower will receive other
demonstrations, but scarcely could
there be greater warmth or spon-
taneity than was exhibited by the
more than million Washingtonians
who jammed downtown streets yes
teroay to pay their respects to the
grinning leader of the victorious
Allied troops in Europe.
No one will ever really know how
many people turned out to see Gen
Eisenhower during his 21-hour
homecoming visit. Col. Edward J.
Kelly, superintendent OF the Metro
politan Police Department, esti-
mated there were more than a
million, That's probably about as
close as any one can come. And
Col. Kelly also said that in all his
40 years in the police department,
he has never seen a bigger crowd
on the streets OF Washington.

Talk about your Gregory Pecks

Coopers being in heavy demand
these days, but with half q checkup
you'll discover that gent twice
as old as any of the trio and dis
playing an entirely different line
Of histrion1cs is in even greater
demand.
His name is S. e.. Sakall. He
exemplifies the new deal in film
comics today. S. 2. is the flap
iowled fat man whom everybody is
trying to borrow from Warner Bros.
You can't quite place him?
Well he played the musical i'm
presario who lent James Cagney
and Richard Whorf a sympathetic
ear in Yankee Doodle Dandy" He
was also the musical producer in
Thank Your Lucky Stars" who
dedicated his life to getting rid OF
Eddie Cantor.
1t was Dinah Shore in this pic
ture who chucked him under his
famous jowls with the remark:
I've always wanted to do this"
1t was the nearest to a love scene
that the waddling Hungarian has
ever played.
In fact, s. z. sakan owes most
OF his success in pictures to those
half-dozen layers of fat that pass
for chins. They're all the props he
owns, and apparently all he needs.
They are what makes him diff
ferent comedian"
Comics of Hollywood's yesterday
leaned heavily on props to get over
their funny business. Chaplin had
his cane, his baggy pants, his slouchy
shoes.
Harold Lloyd employed horn
trimmed specs to aid his gags. Ed
Wynn used funny hats, usually too
small for him, and Groucho Marx
had his trick mustache and omni-
present cigar. w. c. Fields is most
comfortable before the cameras
when surroundeds by his familiar
cane, billiard cue or golf stick.
But Sakall-all he needs for laughs
is to waggle that layer of chins, look
owlish, utter some nearly unintel-
ligible gibberish that passes for
dialogue and waddle back and forth
in front of the scenery.
Warmers think so much of this
neW-deal comic that they've placed
him under high-salary contract.

hung up his hat in the Burbank lot
than they cast him for another the
atrical misfit in "The Time, the
Place and the Girl" which features
Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson and
Jane Wyman.
Sakall is the highest-salaried
