The deposed Far East commander said New York itself was a "living example" of the ability of men of different races to "live and progress together." "I have just come from another striking example of unification, where men of different races and different languages are fighting shoulder to shoulder in a common cause," he said. "Many are your own sons, ready and fit, and writing a brilliant battle record." The general appeared deeply moved as the motorcade passed through the hoarsely cheering throngs and clouds of paper and ticker tape from Central Park through lower Manhattan's financial section. His jaw was clamped much of the time as though he were attempting to control his emotions. But from time to time he broke into a smile as he waved to the crowds lining the streets and countless thousands leaming from skyscraper windows. The estimate of the crowd's size came from Police Commissioner Thomas F. Murphy on the basis of police reports he received from all sections of the parade route. From building to curbs the sidewalks of New York were packed with a dense mass of hoarsely shouting humanity. Office building windows were jammed. Many of the spectators welcoming the old soldier back from the Far East came from neighboring states—Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The almost unbelievably huge crowd nearly doubled the size of the 4 million tournouts for Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The people gushed forth from subways and piled into the city on special trains and buses. Showers of torn paper and ticker tape rained throughout the gaily-decorated city from Central Park to the canyons of lower Manhattan's massive skyscrapers.
