route from atop buildings and even
atop flag poles. Kids swarmed up
into the trees that trail up to the
beautiful, flower-spread Civic
Center Plaza.
From the windows and roofs
came down armfuls of confetti
ticker tape, and just plain scrap
paper. MacArthur, placid but ob
viously pleased, raised his arm to
the struggling, straining, and voci
ferous crowd time and time again.
Motorcycles formed a "V” and
spear-headed straight through the
amassed humanity that sought to
• close in from all sides.
The parade started on time —
9:45 am.— but it was approxi
mately an hour overdue when it
reached the center. After a few
brief speeches by public officials,
the Mayor, introduced MacArthur,
said, ‘‘It has always been your
fate to share every ordeal of the
American people."
City Rocked
It was then that the assembled
audience — squeezed shoulder-to
shoulder and obviously enjoying it
— turned loose a tumultuous roar
that shook the very foundations of
the city hall. MacArthur was forc
ed to delay his opening words for
about a minute.
The General's wife and son also
were introduced to the public
there. MacArthur joined his family
at the microphones — he clutched
his wife’s hand and described her
as “not only my beloved wife, but
my best soldier.’’
The flag-bordered ceremonies
ended at 12:05 p.m. as the heav
ing. noisy crowd watched the Gen
eral reenter the special automobile
and head directly for the airport.
Swift Departure
MacArthur’s departure was Short
and simple compared to the rest
of his busy San Francisco stay. As
two cannons fired away a 17-gun
salute at the edge of the landing
field, the General faced the color
guard and saluted. Then he turned
to say goodbye to the dignitaries
gathered around him and headed
np the ramp to the plane. At the
top he stood together with his fam
ily for a brief moment, waving.
The band struck up “Auld Lang
Syne.” Then he disappeared inside
and at 1:26 p.m. the “Bataan”
left the runway and banked east
ward on its flight to Washington.
Most of the onlookers, including
Warren and Robinson, stayed until
the plane had circled the field.
This-bay metropolis then slow
ly almost painfully reutrned to its
regular routine, well conscious of
the honor it had paid MacArthur,
as well as of the hono^ he had
paid it by landing here.
This was the General’s welcome.
Only a very few tried to blacken
it — political sentiment was un
important. In fact, one thing was
Important — one of the nation’s
greatest heroes had come home
after giving long and distinguished
service to his country. With this
in mind, San Francisco gave the
General a full-dress reception.
1,000 Pints of Blood

parations for the biggest blood
drive seen on the campus this
year and using the motto 1000
pints — Beat Oregon as an incen
tive to get students to contribute
their blood it would be too bad if
we couldn’t show the same spirit
es we did last time and again make
our quota,” Dignan continued.
Any one donor who was turned
away last time for lack of facili
ties is urged to fill out their pledge
card again since no one will be
turned away this time because the
drive will be held over for the one
day more and the facilities will
be more extensive.
MacArthur Backed by Eugene
Arrnrriina To Sociology Survey
General Douglas MacArthur has
the support of the majority of Eu
gene residents if a survey taken
during the past w’eek by the social
analysis class of W. T. Martin,
assistant professor of sociology,
is indicative of public opinion.
According to the poll only 13
per cent of Republicans approved
of MacArthur’s removal from
command by President Truman,
while 79 per cent disapproved.
Twenty-four per cent of Demo
crats interviewed approved of the
dismissal and 62 per cent voiced
disapproval.
The sociology class conducted
the survey as a field work pro
ject. Area sampling was used,
with blocks of the city selected by
number, representing all parts of
the city. Interviews were conduct
ed at every third house, with 242
persons giving opinions. Of these
121 supported the Republicans in
1948; 82 the Democrats; and 39
others.
Results showed that 13 per cent
of the total sample approved of
Truman’s action while 43 per cent
believed MacArthur and his policy
should have been supported. Twelve
per cent were of the opinion that
MacArthur should have been left
in command of the Japanese occu
pation but removed from command
of the war in Korea. A fourth
group of 25 per cent agreed that
MacArthur should have been re
primanded and instructed to leave
policy alone but not removed from
military command. Seven per cent
of those interviewed gave no opin
ion.
Politics was named as the cause
of removal by 64 of the Republi
cans and 40 Democrats: Pressure
from our allies by 45 and 28; per
sonal resentment, 16 and 7; and
military inadequacy 6 and 5.
A second part of the poll show
ed that 44 persons or 43 per cent
of 103 giving opinions would like
to see Eisenhower elected presi
dent in 1952. Stasscn was support
ed by 14, MacArthur by 12, and
Morse by 10. Dewey. Taft, Truman,
and Warren received three to nine
votes each.
A part of the survey which
would seem to indicate a definite
trend, according to Martin, was
the question, “Which political
party, regardless of individual can
didates, would you like to sec win
in the 1952 presidential election?''
Of those who voted Republican
in 1948, 74 per cent wanted the
GOP to win again, while none
planned to change to the Demo
crnltc ticket. In contrast 38 per
cent of those who voted Demo
cratic in 1948 want this party to
win again, whereas 17 per cent
have switched to the Republican
side.
The change in opinion of those
who voted Democrat indicates in
security in their political leaning,
but such a survey as this cannot,
be taken as conclusive, Martin
stated.
Anti-Stalin Communist Party
Forming Under. Tito, Nagy Says
By Marjorie Floren
Under the leadership of Yugo
slavia’s Marshal Tito, an anti-Stalin
International Communist Party is
forming said Dr. Ivan G. Nagy,
assistant professor of political
science, in his discussion of Hamil
ton Fish Armstrong's book, “Tito
and Goliath” Tuesday night. Arm
strong’s book is “the first book of
quality on this controversial sub
ject," Nagy told the Browsing
Room audience of about 100 peo
ple in the third of the Lecture
Forum Series.
Chancellor F. M. Hunter intro
duced Nagy as a brilliant lectur
er in his field, although Nagy call
ed himself a modest researcher.
Tito’s idealogical conflict with
Stalin is the majo* reason that
Yugoslavia is the leader in this
revolt of nationalist communism
against international communism,
Nagy declared. Tito brings up un
pleasant things; he is brazen,
loud, and apparently gets away
with this attitude towards Rus
sia, Nagy emphasized, in explain
ing the Soviet’s feelings toward
Tito.
Terming the book “Tito and
Goliath” a “cool, excellent ap
proach to a very complex prob
lem," Nagy felt, however, that it
was an error for the author to
deal only with Europe and Eastern
Europe, when Tito seems to focus
and unite the revolt against inter
national communism all over the
world.
Nagy was seated as he spoke,
and leaned forward to address the
audience across his paper-strewn
table. “This is the area where
World War I and World War II
started” and the possibility of an
outbreak of actual conflict there
at the present time is not to be
excluded, Nagy added, not intend
ing to de-emphasize Yugoslavia’s
importance in the international
scene today.

Communist Party in Yugoslavia
during World War II, during which
he headed the guerilla warfare
against the Nazis, After the war
was over, “Tito was the model
satellite,” and a model to be fol
lowed by other Iron Curtain na
tions, according to Nagy.
“The bombshell came on June 28,
1948,’’ Nagy said, at which time
Russia excommunicated Yugosla
via from the International Com
munist party.
In turn, Tito accused Soviet Rus
sia of exploiting Yugoslavia, and
claimed that Stalin has deviated
from the pure communism of Len
in. Since then all satellites have
cancelled relations with Tito, and
there have been thousands of acts
of aggression against Yugoslavia.
Nagy remarked on "the cloak and
dagger character of the whole set
up’’ in commenting on these acts
of aggression, such as kidnap
pings and border shootings.
In Yugoslavia, "the populations
is really like a mosaic,” Nagy not
ed. Tensions connected with the
peasant characteristics form part
of the past dangers of 1914 and
1939, and the present danger now.
Hungarian-born, Nagy got part
of his education from the Cam
bridge University in England. He
was the first secretary to the Hun
garian delegation to the United
States before communists took
Hungary, and since then has gone
into education.
