An extra performance of "Fin ien's Rainbow,” musical-comedy directed by Horace VV. Robinson, has been tentatively set for Tues day evening.

In addition to his regular direc torial chores, Robinson designed the setting for "Finian’s Rainbow." The setting, which has a tree on stage, was executed by the staff of Technical Director William E. Schlosscr. Inflation Strikes Oregon Annual Inflation has hit the Oregana, Oregon yearbook. The price of next year’s book will be $6.75 instead of the $6 which was charged for the 1951 Oregana. This raise in price was decided by a five to four vote of the Stu dent Publications Board at its last meeting. Other prices consid ered by the board were $6.50 and $7. _ Reasons given for the, raise were increased costs in printing and materials. At the same meeting of the board, Bob Funk was named editor, and Chuck Isaac, business man ager, of the 1952 Oregana. Red Riot, Cheering Mark Mac's Return (Editor's Note: Regardless of your feelings about President Tru man’s art inn in relieving General Douglas MacArthur of his various commands in the Pacific and Asia, you hate to agree that the return of this World War II hero to the Inited States for the first time in It years is one of the truly top newstorie* of this or any recent year. The Kmerakl vgarded MacArthur’s arrival in San Francisco with such great Importance that it sent three of its top newsmen to the scene, to give you an eyewitness account of the dramatic highlights of this event.) E—X—C—L—U—S—I—V—E By JIM HAYCOX, TOM KING, and KEN METZLER SAX JKAXCJSCO (Special to The Emerald)—April 17_ A Communist demonstration ltd to a scuffle on streets of Sao I ranci'co '1 uesday night minutes before the landing of General -MacArtliur s plane. Sr.nit /.-> sign bearers paraded down a major street near the St. rancis f lotel with taan. ’ shot out of the dark shadows across the bay and brought the g. ; - nal, his wife, and his 13-year-old son in to the International Airpc t heiv at fc:29 p.m. Thousands who had waited all evening were strung out over the field and had surged down to the gates as the five-star-general—ch ar-eve.f, grim, and unemotional— stepped firmly forward from the plane. A thun derclap-welcome broke loose through the throng. The genera] had cor&e home in a drama that was remindful of the way he had waded ashore at Leyte Island in the Phillippines with the words, "I have returned." This time, MacArthur again was equal to the occasion. He told every one simply and with warmness — ‘'You have no idea how good it is to be here.” — "It's good to be back." ming i rumpis urraifsi nrrworks Since V-J Uay Completion of the 54-hour hop from Tokyo came just six clays after President Truman initiated a major controversy by relieving Mac Arthur of all his commands. The arrival prompted a grandiose demonstration that this tradition rich metropolis has not seen since V-J Day. A parade of pomp and fireworks mixed with the confused emotion* of the crowd to record the history-making event. Two public dignitaries including Gov. Earl Warren, and three top-brass service officials gat ->> MacArthur their personal hand-clasp. An Army band swung into the traditional "Ruffles and Flourishes"_ four of them — the most sanctioned by Army protocol. Then it played. "The General's March" as the honor and color guards tcomposed of approximately 240 men) stood by. The General inspected the guard, which is optional, and addressed one soldier during the tour. The 16-mile jouiney from the airport to his quarters, the St. Francis Hotel .was lined by upwards of 70,000 onlookers who awaited the arrival with virtually as much eagerness as the General must have himself. A Slight Smile on the General's Face There was a slight smile on his face. Someone shouted to Gov. War ren, who was riding with Mac Arthur, "Let’s put him up for Governor." Another said, "They didn't want him over there, but well take him here." The General's smile became broader with that comment ar.d he waved at the crowd. As the General, Gov. Warren, and Mayor Elmer Robinson entered the door of the hotel, the crowd surged in behind him. He went immediately to his suite. More than 1,000 letters and telegrams as well as gifts from well wishers all over the nation awaited him. MacArthur had urged that the. celebration be modified. But -Sfi < Francisco busted its buttons anyway. While the crowd heralded tin arrival, it also was awed by the monumental nature of the affak. Some yelled loudly, thgre were signs reading “MacArthur for Presi dent," and other stood by, their voices choked up with tears, pinching their cheeks. His Face Set and Grim—His Eyes Sparkling The General followed his wife out of the plane when he arrived. His face was set and grim — but his eyes were sparkling and evcA his iron-mask countenance could not suppress that. He shook hand* steadily and confidently with a nodding glance, first with the notable-; and then with Army privates and “men in the street" who besieged his special car and thrust their hands through the windows in order that, the General might clasp them. The radiant, ever*smiling Mrs. MacArthur gave roses to a fe\/ admirers who stumbled over one another seeking to obtain a more intimate glimpse of the official party. Young Arthur MacArthur was almost as unemotional as his famous* (please turn to pane eight)
