 Views Bomb Ruins
 President Truman left Victory Wharf at Plymouth harbor for the anchored Renown at 11:10 p. m. after motoring through the bomb ruins of Plymouth from nearby Yel- verton airport. He and members of the American delegation had arrived at Yelvertton at 9:45 a. m.. in six planes three Skymasters, two Da- kotas and Flying Fortress.
 GA London dispatch said the Presidents plane was reported to have made an emergency landing at another airport in England because of weather conditions before pro- ceeding to Yelverton.)
 King George already was wait ing aboard the Renown to greet his luncheon guest. He had preceded the President to Plymouth by spe- cial train from London during the night.
 The king was in full naval uni- form as an admiral of the fleet in contrast to the plain business suit worn by MT. Truman. Because Britain is still at war, no gun sa- lutes were fired.
 MT. Truman boarded the Renown at 12:40 p. m. The king greeted him with the words, Welcome to my country"
 The original schedule had called for MT. Truman to visit the cruiser Augusta before going to the Renown but the plan was changed at the last minute.
 In another change, the party went direct to Victoria Wharf, which lies adjacent to the United States naval headquarters at Queen Ann's battery, 300 yards from the May flower steps where the Pilgrims left for America.
 The presidential convoy from the airport consisted of a dozen naval cars. They sped through Plymouth without stopping to observe the citys bomb damage. Secretary of State James Byrnes rode with the President.
 The presidential party had been scheduled to land at Magawans air. field, but because of the weather the landing was made at the RAF station.

 On the way to Plymouth persons along the roadside shoutes and waved greetings, and some chil- dren waved flags.

 Prime Minister Attlee also re- turned by plane from Potsdam this morning. He landed in a Skyfas- ter at Northhold airdrome outside London. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin remained behind in Berlin Tor sightseeing tour.
