Historic Meeting of East-West Forces At Elbe River 5 Years Ago Started Friendship Period Bv John B. McDarmott United Press Correspondent Berlin. Apr. 25 (U.R) Five years ago today American and Russian armies racing across shattered and vanquished Nazi Germany met at the Elbe river. It was a great day for the al lies and for the world. Peace was near. The fusing of brotherhood between the east and the west, symbolized by the meeting on the Elbe, would guarantee peace forever. Or almost. The historic hour was noon, Apr. 25, 1945. Lt. Koe Kotzebue of Houston, Tex., led his U. S. First army infantry patrol of six men to the west bank of the Elbe. They boarded a creaky old wooden boat and paddled to the east bank. There they met the Russians. Reversing Kipling, the east and the west did meet. Hop Voiced Two Russian officers knew his tory when they saw it in the making under their noses. They voiced the hope that the meeting would be commemorated each year as a symbol of Russian American friendship. In their Jubilation over the joining of forces in the battle for Europe, the Russians and Americans took an oath that they would do everything in their power to prevent future wars. And today, despite the miscar riage of the plans which budded on the banks of the Elbe, one of those six Americans kept his pledge. Joseph Polowski of Chicago Issued a plea: "The time has come for the nations to reaffirm that solemn oath at the Elbe. I therefore join in calling upon the nations for a new birth of conciliation and friendship, that the oath sworn on the blood-soaked historic ground at the Elbe river shall not have been taken in vain." Wild Jubilation The armies the U. S. First and the Ukrainian First linked up at a place called Ricsa, a ham let near Torgau, 80 miles south of Berlin. A few hours later this corre spondent reached Torgau. The scene was one of wild jubilation. Russians hugged us and kissed us. We threw our arms around them, shouting anything that Supreme Court Decision Assailed By British Union London, Apr. 25 U.R) A Brit ish movie union today assailed a United States supreme court decision which affirmed convic tion of 10 Hollywood writers for refusing to tell congress whether they are communists. The Association of Cinemato graph and Allied Technicians is sued a statement saying "we . . . desire to give our fullest support to the vust body of liberal Amer icans who believe that this case should be reviewed, realizing that the final decision will be of vital importance not only to American citizens but to the rest of the world." The union said the judicial processes of another country are "none of our business." "But, It added, "the freedom of opinion of creative artists and indeed of the individual citizen, in our view, transcends all na tional barriers." sounded friendly. The language barrier ruled out any intelligible conversation. But everybody seemed to be getting along all right with one serviceable word "Okay." The Americans gave away whisky, cigarettes, candy bars, their shirts, caps. Just about any thing the Russians wanted. The Russians poured vodka, swapped cigarettes, fired their guns in the air and exchanged their in signia for American shoulder patches. It was more of a carnival than a war scene. Timet Hava Changed Times have changed since then. Lately while bound for Leipzig in the Russian zone this correspondent thought to have another look at Torgau, perhaps to snatch a wisp of the hope that abounded there on Apr. 25, 1945, A fur-capped Russian soldier, guarding the southbound high way out of Berlin, scowled at the American passport and iden tification. "Nyct. nyct," he muttered. "Amerikanski not go.' WEATHER By United Prese Northern California: Fair to day, tonight and Wednesday ex cept local coastal fog or low clouds.

Regents' Dispute Over Loyalty Oath Appears Near End Berkeley, Cal Apr. 25 (U.R; The dispute between regents and professors of the University of California over the loyalty oath appeared near an end today, but one regent resigned in dissatis faction over the compromise. Lawrence M. Giannini, presi dent ot the Bank of America, submitted his resignation to Gov. Earl Warren after terming the oath compromise a "victory for communism." Giannini cast the only dissent ing vote against acceptance of the compromise when the re gents met last Friday. The vote was 20 to 1, In their action, the regents voted to withdraw their demand that all university employees sign special non-communist oath. Instead they accepted an "equiv alent affirmation" proposal sub mitted by the university's alum ni council. Faculty To Sign In brief, the compromise calls for faculty members to sign the standard oath of loyalty to the federal and state constitutions and to sign a contract statement affirming they are not commu nists. The academic senate on the Los Angeles campus of the uni versity indicated it will accept the compromise and not press further its fight against the oath. One faculty member said the southern section of the sen ate approved the compromise "by negation." At Berkeley, the northern sec tion of the senate has not yet an nounced what position it will take, but it was believed that professors here too will accept the compromise. kn-Hur pur vonilla gets Hi An beu qut and dolkate aroma from on txprt blend of Mexican and Madagascar vonilla beans . . . highest quality grown.
