after day, meeting

ship after ship, month after month, the Naval Aid Auxiliary has passed out free doughnuts and milk to returning veterans at San Diego's docks. Marine Sgt. Nor~an Chase grins his thanks at Naval Aid Joan Crowe, 1440 Virginia Way, La Jolla, who gives him a hand with food and drink. Chase was one of 5215 Marines arriving yes- terday from China on the trans- port Wakefield. His leg was broken in an accident in China. Center: From China also came Cardinal-designate Thomas Tien, Northern China bishop from Tsingtao, to gr~et San Diego's Catholic Bishop Charles Fv-ancis Buddy in the captain's cabin on the Wakefield. On his way to Rome to become China's first cardinal, Bishop Tien (SYD) met local Catholic clergymen last night at a private reception by Bishop Buddy. Left: The Rev. Augustine Tseu, once pastor of Chicago's only Chinese Catholic Church, waited for a picture of Bishop Tien at the dock. "I knew him in Tientsin," said Reverend Tseu.
