The division, which served with dis

bringing its veterans together fol-
the first time, and President Tru-
man is scheduled to speak at q
memorial ceremony.
Since the President came out here
on May II, Mrs. Truman has under
gone a series of ups and downs
because Of her "tired heart" as Brig
Gen. Wallace Graham, White House
physician, expressed it, thereby
causing medical advisers grave con-

For the last few days, Gen
Graham said yesterday, her condi.
ton generally has been on the up
grade, with temperature, pulse and
respiration steady. She sat up fol
a while in her old cane-bottomed
rocking chair yesterday afternoon.
The Presidents mother always has
been keenly alive to public affairs
and a family friend said yesterday
this interest had revived noticeably
IN the last couple of days-to such
an extent, as matter of fact, that
she had been wondering whom the
Republicans will nominate for the

By the Associated Pres.

FRANKFURT, May 2e.-Thou-
sands of German girls trying to
escape the grim postwar life in their
homeland may find the door to the
United States opened for them by
new immigration ruling, Ameri-
can consular officials disclosed
today.
The frauleins may not even be
required to marry an American war
veteran-as they have in the past
to qualify as permanent residents
Of the United States.
The new ruling permits the issu-
ance of American immigration Visas
to German fiancees of American ex-
servicemen even after the so-called
GI Fiancee Act expires June 30.
This guarantees, consular officials
said, that no German f1ancee will be
stranded in Germany as result Of
falling to beat the deadline set by
the wartime measure.
1t also raises the possibility that
a girl may enter the United States
as prospective CT bride, then
break her engagement to the Amer.
ican and still remain in the United
States-instead of being deported II
she fails to marry within 80 days as

beV1n Receives ovation.
Mr.. Bevin received an ovation
when he rose to speak. The dele
gates shortly before had heard
opponents Of a "too close" alliance
between Britain and the United
States aim a heavy attack on the
Foreign Secretary's policies.
"All I ask this conference to do is
to be quite straight with me and
either support the policy or reject
it," Mr.. Bevin said. Either I am
doing right and the government is
doing right, or it is doing wrong"
Apparently replying to Leftists
who urged reduction of Britain's
overseas military commitments, Mr..
Bevin said 1--WE cannot afford to lose
our position in the Middle East"
He said the government was quite
confident OF our position" in the
United Nations on the question of
revision Of the Anglo Egyptian
treaty, although he would have pre-
ferred to have settled the differ
ences with Egypt by direct talks.
Speaking Of India, Mr.. Bevin said

by any chance there is a breakdown
or chaos or civil war. it might create
the vacuum which everybody is
frightened Of" The British cabinet
