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.'

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.
