he urged the graduating class.
Maybe not in big hashy way. But
human progress is built on millions
and millions of tiny contributions.

In opening the commencement,
President German stressed the
approaching largest enrolment in
our history" with applications for
the fall courses demanding more
dormltories, more class halls, a gym
naslum and even larger faculty.
No "qualified' student, especially
veterans, will be turned away if it
is possible to accommodate them,
he said, but the university requires
help from loyal friends.

which nearly stole the show" was

|WorId Moves Steadily
To Ideal, Graduates
Of Georgetown Told

JuStlce Il. Barrett Prettyman O1
the United States Court of Appeals
yesterday afternoon assured George
town University graduates who ARE
emerging into a still turbulent post
war era, that while "the world is not
yet civilized, 1t moves in that direc-
ton, slowly but steadily and GER
tainly."
Awarded doctor of laws degree
from his alma mater, Justice Pret-
lyman, class Of 1915, addressed the
2l1 graduates at the university's
147th annual commencement, held
on the college lawn. Two women
were among the graduates of the
School of Foreign Service for the
first time.
The Very Rev. Lawrence c. Cor
man, S. j., president, also con-
ferred LII. D. degrees upon two others
closely associated with the univer-
sity. They were the Rev. John j
IOConnor, S. j., professor of Greek
who is celebrating the 50th anniver-
sary of his ordination into the Jesuit
order, and Col. Alphonsus j. Dona-
hue, Stamford, Conn, manufacturer
Four Sons Attended Georgetown.
Latin citations were read for each
OF the recipients of honors. Although
Col. Donahue is not a George
town alumnus, four of his sons at
| tended Georgetown. Prominent in
civic and Catholic affairs, he is also
chairman of the National Confer
ence of Christians and Jews In New
York City and was praised as q
"revered" leader in the field of labor
management.
Father O'Connor, member of the
faculty since 1927 and formerly OF
Fordham University, has taught for
SO years. Through the ancient
tongues OF Athens and Rome, he has
spoken to thousands of students OF
the beauty and majesty of God
their Creator" the citation said.
OF Justice Prettyman, the univer-
sity said he had been honored by
the Government to posts of trust
such as general counsel of the Bu-
reau Of Internal Revenue and cor
poration counsel of the District be-
fore his elevation to the bench
Conspicuous by his achievements
in legal, local and national affairs
he well merits the highest honor
which his alma mater now bestows.' 81
read the citation.
Discussing the qualifications that
make a man Civilized" Justice
Prettyman said his definition was:
"A man is civilized when he is of
such a nature that his felloWmen
justifiably have faith in him."
That goes for nations as we'll as
for the individual man, he said in
reminding that governments de-
pend for continued existence on the
faith of their people.
Moves Slowly to Ideal.
While the world has not vet
reached that civilized" state, JUS
tice Prettyman pointed out, it is
moving, however slowly. toward that
ideal.

Three Offensives Won Europe Before Allies Crossed
Rhine, Gen. Eisenhower Asserts in Report

Christmas time, however, following a
message which I sent to the COM
bined chiefs of staff explaining the
difficulty with which I was faced
IN attempting to evolve plans while
still ignorant of the Russian in
tentions, President Roosevelt secur-
ed from Marshal Stain his agree
ment to receive our representative
in order to discuss the correlation
OF our respective efforts in the
forthcoming spring."
AS a consequence, in January, a
staff group headed by Gen. Eisen-
hower's deputy, Air Chief Marshal
Tedder. journeyed to Moscow for
this purpose.
THE conference proved conspicu-
ously successful" Gen. Eisenhower
commented. The Allied mission was
given full explanation" of Mar
shal Stalin's proposed four -pronged
offensive, involving from $50 to 160
divisions of the Red Army. He fur
ther assured that in the event of
the main Red offensive being halted
by bad weather, he would still con-
duct local operations calculated to
pin down the German armies so
as to permit no major movements of
divisions from east to west during
the spring thaw.
Fortified by Marshal Stains as
surances, we were able to proceed
with our operational planning" the
supreme commander noted.
Allied Divisions Stronger.
The divisions launched in the sue
cessful Red Army campaign were
numerically at half the strength of
the average Allied division which
Gen. Eisenhower pointed out were
usually reinforced to 1900 men, re-
inforced by tank, anti-tank and
anti aircraft and other attachments
Each was well over twice the
strength of the Russian divisions, +"
he said.
AS the Allied 1945 campaign pro-
gressed, the problem of liaison with
the Russians grew more pressing
during the advance across Central
Germany. Strategic questions were
replaced by tactical ones as the time
of the projected junction in the
Torgau area, on the Elbe ap-
preached. But solutions were not
forthcoming until the last minute" "
Gen. Eisenhower related. "One of
our principal anxieties concerned
the mutual Identification of our re-
spective forces, both in the air and
on the ground Already at the be-
ginning of April our tactical air
forces had 'come into contact and
shots had been mistakenly ex-
changed, and we considered it of
the utmost Importance that all pos
sible arrangements should be made
to insure proper recognition in or
der to prevent errors and possible
tragic incidents which might result
in later recriminations"
Suitable arrangements were work
ed out by April 20 and five days later
