News in Brief: 100,000th Korea Vet Hailed. A royal welcome greets the 100,000th returning combat veteran home from Korea. Cpl. Caspar DeAngelis of Brooklyn receives flowers, kisses from pretty girls, and a parade in his honor. Perky young women wave to the ship coming into port. Soldiers disembark; they look happy to be home. The guy who happens to be the right number gets a welcome that's symbolic for the other veterans - a crown, a lei, a kiss, and a parade, with women bringing flowers to him.
