WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 Up -
The nations capital heaped a con
queror's honors today on a gaunt
gray General who lost a battle.
The tribute which included the
nations highest for valor - was
paid Jonathan M. Wainwright for
the brilliant defense of doomed
Corregidor fortress in Manila bay,
1t was that gallant stand which
held back the enemy while the ma.
ton got its hands up to fight again
after the Touchdown of Pearl Har-
Dor.
Arriving by air from the Pacific
where his sacrifice left him Jap
anese prisoner for more than three
years, General Wainwright whirled
through a breathless schedule that
included:
A tender welcome from the wife
he had not seen in four years.
A triumphal parade to the capt.
tol to the tUmultuous cheers of
half a million.
An appearance before each
house of Congress-, as a specially
invited and honored guest.
A visit to the White House where
President Truman, in ceremony
of which the general had no warn
ing, placed around his neck the
ribbon of the Congressional Medal
G. Honor. reserved for the truly
great among Americas heroes.
No defeated General ever came
back to such demonstrations Few
winners ever have.
1t was like a repetition of the
wild celebration that greeted Gen
eral of the Army Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, the victor of Europe, not
so long ago..

airport, the tilrongs lining the mo-
torcade route to the War Depart
