Has First Night in Three
Years-Given Tremend-
Gus Greeting

LONDON, May 16-Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower visited London last
night for his first might out" in
three years, and in his own words,
it was "the incest night I've had
since the war started"
In high good humor, the Supreme
Commander exchanged banter with
cheering West End throngs. People
tugged at him. patted him on the
back, shook his hand and shouted
repeatedly: Good Old Ike
Eisenhower attended the musical
revue Strike 1t Again" in company
with Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Com
mander. of the Twelfth Army
Group, who received his own share
of the thunderous ovations.
The Supreme Commander spoke
briefly after Comedian Sid Fields
told the audience the two Generals
were there, and after spotlights had
been turned on the box, Eisenhower
bowed and waved repeatedly to the
cheering audience.
Il wonder if you people realize
what it means to me to be back
here among friends he said, and
then drew laughter when he added
among people whose language l

The Washington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
ct. Col Robert s. Alien now on active
service with the Army

WASHINGTON = Now that the
European war is over, most import
ant problem facing President Tru-
man and the big Three" is Rus
sian cooperation in the war against
Japan. Regarding this there is a
strange about-face.
Two years ago, members OF the
new Presidents own Truman Com
mittee," together with members OF
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, visited Australia and came
back with a statement from Gen.
Macarthur that thousands of AM
erican lives were being lost because
Russia did not give us Siberian
bases against Japan. Ex-senator
Cabot Lodge aired this statement
to Senatorial colleagues and it Gre
ated a bad reaction against Russia
even though Gen. Marshall told
Senators that we would not be
able to hold Siberian bases If
Russia gave them to us.
Today, however, some of the
people who two years ago were
yelling loudest for Russia to come
into the war against Japan are
now arguing exactly the reverse.
This is not true of Chief of Staff
Marshall, who believes that any
move which will shorten the war
and save lives should be taken.
But it is true of many high-ranking
Army-Navy leaders, who frankly
admit in private that they don't
want Russia in the war against
Japan.
This is especially true of the
Navy. 1t will be recalled that
Commander of-the Fleet Admiral
King opposed Britain's sending a
fleet to help us in the Pacific be-
cause he felt we could do the job
ourselves and that British battle
ships weren't geared to our speed.
But Roosevelt overruled him. Ad-
miral King likewise belongs to the
school that believes Russia should
not come into the japanese war.
Chief argument against .Russia's
vocabulary.
But when they got into deeper
waters, the two men needed an
interpreter. Once, when talking pri-
yately, Vandenberg is reported by
friends to have told Molotov: II
friendly relations could be estab-
lished between the United States
and Russia, I would be one OF the
happiest men in the world
To which Molotov, perhaps re-
m m bering Vandenberg's vote
against recognizing Russia, is re-

REORGANIZATION Of
Many Departments
Planned by Truman
BY Tom Reedy

WASHINGTON, May 16-Presi-
dent Truman plans sweeping
government reorganization to abb
serb independent agencies into
regular departments.
Senators, who asked to be an
onymous, made this disclosure of
the Presidents plans today.
These Senators, close to Mr.. Tru-
man when he served in the Legis-
lative branch, said the Chief Ex-
ecutive is moving slowly and that
it may be weeks before the first
steps become apparent.
The revisions will include Cabinet
changes, possibly in Labor, Treas
ury and Justice.
One Senator, especially acquainted
with Mr.. Truman, told this re-
porter: President Truman always
has believed that the Government
should operate ON vertical basis.
He is an old Army man accus-
toned TO logical chain OF COM
mand
1.-THE Government operated on
that basis for many years and it
was the most effective
The principle upon which the
President is said to base his pro-
gram is to have one responsible
head for each department, with
supervisory and advisory duties
spread out to a group of subordi-
nate executives.
The streamlining idea, it is re-
ported, would merge such agencies
as OPA and VIA within the Agri-
culture Department. Banking duties
all would wind up eventually in
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration.

afed Damages Total
Sum Of S250,0O0

SEATTLE, May 16-A suit for
$250,0O0 in assertedly unpaid over
time wages and liquidated damages
incurred in Alaska has been en-
tered in Federal Court against two

Oscar A. label, representing IS

struction Co., and the Morrison
Knudsen Company as defendants.
Individual amounts sought ranged
downward from $1,000.
The complaint stated the plain
tiffs, office workers who served
on military construction projects
in the Aleutians, were not paid
time and one half for overtime
work. 1t asked payment Of any such
overtime wages due, plus liquidated
damages.
The act, passed in 1888, provides
that damages equal to overtime
wages may be assessed by the court.

WASHINGTON, May ia giant

GERS and aviation plans and equip
ment, headed for Japan, surrender
ed Sunday in the Atlantic.
Admiral Jonas H. Ingram, Com
mander of the Atlantic Fleet, reveal
ed the U-boat's surrender today in
line with a general lifting of the
secrecy which has surrounded the
battle of the Atlantic against sub
marines.
Admiral Ingram told a news con-
ference that from the time of our
entry into the war, I'VE know defin-
itely that we sank 126 U-boats, most
of them far from our shore
Including those sunk by the Brit
ish fleet, he said, the total German
U-boat losses exceeded 500.
He said he was personally conf
dent that u S. Navy sinking far
exceeded the 126 with which it was
credited, but, he added with laugh,
in order for us to get credit from
these guys in Washington, we have
to bring in a German ear picked
in alcohol
Admiral Ingram said Japanese
submarines have been operating in
the Atlantic and one was sunk late
last summer just south of iceland
He said it was identified by flotsam
which rose to the surface.

FRAU HIMMLER
IS LOCATED IN
ITALIAN CHALET
Believes Gestapo Chief
Killed, that he Would
Be Better Of, Dead
BY Sid FEEDER

BOLzANO, Italy, May 16 - Frau
Margaret Boden Himmler believes
her husband, Gestapo Chief Helm
rich Himmler, was killed with the
other Reich leaders such as Hitler
in the fighting for Berlin"
Frau Himmler, her 15-year- old
daughter, Gudrun, and her sister
were found Sunday in a well-ap-
pointed mountain chalet about Is
miles north of Bolzano in the
italian Tyrol by members of the
U. S. Eighty Eighth Division.
Pale and sickly looking, Frau
Himmler told the Associated Press
yesterday her husband would be
better off dead-theyre all better
dead" She and her daughter re-
ferred to Himmler in the third
person, as the "Reichfuerher," or
simply as "Himmler."
The first question she asked when
the Americans entered the chalet
was: Are we going to be killed."
When told she would be treated
fairly she burst into tears, and
sobbed that she was thankful to
be captured by Americans"
Himmler's wife and daughter also
said they had not heard from the
Gestapo Chieftain since mid-April,
and Frau Himmler said she had not
actually seen her husband since
November near Munich. 1t is
known, however, that Himmler had
been in the Cole Isarco head
quarters of the Gestapo, few
miles south of the Bremen Pass,
about month ago.
The 51-year-old woman and her
daughter will be classified by Am
erican authorities as displaced
persons" and not as prisoners.
