Telephone Company Planning
100000 Post War Building

Emphasizing Importance OF pro-
lection for the type Of private en-.
terprise that has made American
world leadership possible, speaker
for the Rotary Club luncheon hour
today warned against foreign ideas
OF dictatorship and government
operation OF business now threaten
ening United States industry.
Speaker was Ben r. Marsh. gen.
eral commercial manager of the
Michigan Bell Telephone Company.
past president of Rotary and an
alert leader in Detroit civic circles.
Drawing from experience of more
than 80 years with the Bell Tele.
phone Company, he spoke with
authority.
A dangerous situation exists, Mr..
Marsh pointed out. IF earnings In
our business we're to continue much
lower than those of others for too
long a time, your service could be
jeopardized. | am telling you this
because we believe il vitality i'm.
portant that our customers recog-
nize that whiting OF telephone
earnings now could have serious
ly weakening effect on the preser-
walton on private enterprise"
Citing statistics showing reduc-
ton in profits despite wartime in
creases in business, Mr.. Marsh
stated that the expansion program
planned by the Telephone Company
calls for an expenditure of $780,
100000 during the first FIVE years
following end of the war. Such ex-
penditures will be impossible IL
company earnings are lowered to
a point where private investors can
no longer be interested. or IL mod
ern improvements cannot be con-
tinually introduced through neces-
sary equipment installations.

BIG POSTWAR PROGRAM
PLANNED FOR YPSILANTI

A 100000 postwar program for
Ypsilanti that is expected to in
clude the erection OF a new tele-
phone building and the conversion
of the manually-operated system
here to dial service was visualized
by Mr.. Marsh as part of the com.
pany's proposed $120.OO0.O00 expan-
sion and improvement program.
Marsh said the company's post
war plans are dependent on gener-
al business conditions and the
company's ability to raise the
money to finance its program. He
emphasized that general business
conditions can prosper best under
the private enterprise system. I'm
der that system, ability to raise
money depends on attractiyeness Of
earnings, and, earnings, in turn, de-

(See Pictures on Page g.


Washington, June 1S-AP-Gen-
eral Dwight D. (Ike) Eisenhower
returned triumphantly today to a
grateful America to receive from
his countrymen a conquering hero's
tumultous acclaim.
President Truman's own sleek
C-54, one OF four big transports,
bringing the General and his party
home from the wars, landed on
Washington's National Airport at
l1:11 a. m. Eastern War Time.
Thousands OF necks craned in a
damned Washington at the planes,
escorted to fighters, roared owed the
capital at 11:08 a. M, enroute to
the airport.
Cries Of Ike Ike Ike" rang from
hundreds OF threats as the modest,
54-year old son of Kansas farm
family stepped from the huge flying
ship. He flashed his famous grin
in response.
Met by Wife
General George C. Marshall,
chief of staff, and Eisenhower's
petite and vivacious wife rushed
to meet him as the door Of his plane
opened.
A flight of more than 80 bomb
ers and fighters-symbolic of the
might that vanquished German and
Italian arms-escorted the Allied
Supreme Commanders plane from
the Atlantic Coast to the airdrome
in Virginia just across the Potomac
from Washington.
Mrs. Eisenhower ran to the Gen
eral as he came down the steps
from the plane and embraced and
kissed him.
Scores Of photographers, who
missed the first shot as the General
ran down the steps. yelled how
about another kiss, General"
mo posing, boys" the General
said.
Snaps to Salute
Eisenhower then snapped to a
salue as an S6.piece Army Band
struck up with martial music.
Eisenhower wore light summer
uniform. On his breast were num-
erous ribbons telling the graphic
story of the campaigns he led
through North Africa, Sicily, Italy,
France and Germany to the very
gates of Berlin.
After the greetings for Eisen-
hover and his men, the General
began an eight mile victory"
drive over Memorial Bridge along
bunting and fag-bedecked streets
lined with hundreds of thousands
of parents, wives. brothers, sisters
and friends OF the men he led in
battle.
With the General were SO fellow
soldiers-from a private first class
to generals-who fought with him.
The parade destination was Capt.
toll Hill where Congress in joint
session waited to honor him.
General Eisenhower told the ma
tons lawmakers and jurists today
that the soldier "passionately be-
lieves the problems of peace
can and must be met"
Looks for Salvation
To the soldiers mind. the Cen
eral declared in an address pre-
pared for his appearance before tn~
Joint session of Congress and the
Supreme Court, the problems OF
peace can be no more difficult than
the one you had 10 solve more than
three years ago, and which, In one

had been the greatest war machine
OF history, the problems OF peace

despite. the efforts of our instructors
to keep us in. From that moment
on everything went. BY seven
o'clock $4,000 all p.x's were sold
out of beer.
Being Tuesday night we didn't
have passes. but everyone wanted
to get into town, so gangs were
gathered up and we chashed the
gates. The M.P.'S didn't even at
tempt to stop us.
1t was really sight to see. The
town was jammed with G.I's, all
of whom were in fatigues.
While all this was cooking down
town, the remaining GI's at the
field weren't just sitting around.
All PIT. stands in the field were
burned including the bleachers at
the baseball field. A fire truck was
stolen from one Of the fire stations
at the field by two G.I.'s. They
drove that thing all over the field.
Then they ran into our CO., who
was driving around in his staff car.
They tied his car to the fire truck
and pulled him all around the field.
In a few words, we just raised
merry hell It guess it was like
wise all over the country.

Dear Craig and Family:
Just few tardy words to let you
know that I made the trip back to
Florida in good shape after my visit
in the old home town. Then we
really went back to work and kept
the base hurnming till the big day
| V-J-came.
Now it is all over and the shout
ing is dying down, but the memory
of the conflict will be with us for
all time. Most of us in the Air
Force will be busy for some while
getting the places closed down and
disposing of things about the base.
It takes quite while to shut down
some of the installations, most of
which are extensive.
When one thinks of the huge
numbers of men who have been
given training at these places they
have proved a good and wise in
vestment, as the final victory has
shown.
Personally, do not expect to re-
turn to Nogales for some while yet
as I mean to see the thing through,
signed-Sealed- and then
I shall turn my attentions to the
matters pending in the home town.
Meantime, get The international
each week so keep up on the i'm
portant developments in the COM
munity
I am wondering how many of our
boys will return to Nogales, and if
they will be satisfied with the con-
ditions imposed on them there
Perhaps-and I hope they will
most of them will become more pro-
gressive and enterprising which will
make Nogales expand and grow. It
is NOW or NEVER with the home
town. And rightfully Nogales should
be a metropolis on the border in
stead of a struggling town.
Also, Craig, I appreciate the good
Kindness shown by yourself and
family while I was home, called
there by the passing of Mother 1t
goes to show that the home folks
are always the best.
Now that the war is over it is the
opinion of many competent observ-
erS that the Democratic party will
flourish as never before. I am en-
closing a clipping that is of interest
IN that light. Vote 'er Straight in
48, is the password here.
A word of good advice to the re-
turning veterans is that the leading
servlcemen's organization to join is
the American Legion. They have
already done, and will help any ser
vice man. All the young fellows
have to do is join a going organiza-
ton that can really do things, and
the Legion is that.
