GENERALS WHO BECAME PRESIDENT-6
By RAY ELLIS ond ED KUDLATY
THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS 2 A
Abilene, Texas, Monday Evening, January 19, 1953 J-A
TS
To disassociate the party from corruption in the o
Grant administration the GOP nominated dark. 3
horse Rutherford 1. Hayes. He hod the political g
savry, being • three-time governor of Ohio and a ah
general during the Civil Wor. The Hoyes- Tilden
election resulted in a tie, and the Republican-domi %
noted electoral commission declared Hayes the %
winner. Hampered by . hostile Congress his ad-4
ministration did little, but the South cheered him
when he ordered the withdrawal of Union troops.
Becouse of a split m the GOP, James A Garfield
won his party’s nomination. He hod on enviable
record of public service—is the state legislature;
■ is the Union army as a major general ond in the
C Howi a of Representatives. Four months after his
inaugural hr war killed by o crozed office-seeker.
DME) Benjamin Horriton had all the elements of popular
• appeal—he was on the march to the sea with Sher-
== mon, was d grandson of Pres. Williom Morrison, and
' “asenator. But he didn’t have the qualities of a po-
liticol leader, he couldn’t inspire, and, as a matter
of fact, he repelled. The only valuable legislation
to come out of his administration Mx the Sherman
1—17 Anti-Trust Act.

morning problem.
Nothing could have been leas pre-
tentious than the way he entered
the city where, in another day,
he will take up the greatest elec-
tive office on earth.
His private train came in at
9:07 last night. At that hour—and
M — side the terminal. Some police-
men, a knot of newspapermen, and
the unobtrusive secret service
agents stood waiting in the semi-
darkness. No one else was there.
The train eased in. In Eisen-
hower’s car, the shades were
drawn. A long moment later, the
rear door opened, and Mrs. Eisen-

especially on a Sunday—thousands
of men on business here step down
from trains. Most of them wear a
uniform expression. They look pre-
occupied, speculative, intent on the
task ahead.
Eisenhower looked like that last
sight.
/ SECURITY REASONS
For security, and not because of
the recent accident in the station.
Truce Talks Won't
Resume in Korea,
General Predicts
SAN FRANCISCO — The truce
talks in Korea never will be re-
sumed there, predicts Brig. Gen.
William P. Nuckols, former offi-
cial spokesman for the United Na-
tions armistice delegation.
“The terms of a purely mili-
tary armistice are in general
agreement," he explained today in
an interview. “The primary issue
still unsettled is the prisoner-of-
war exchange and that is above
the military level. It is something
that must be settled at the gov-
ernment level."
Nuckols is en route to join Gen.
Matthew Ridgway in Europe as
chief public information officer for
NATO.
He said if Korean truce discus-
sions are resumed, they likely
would be held in the United Na-
tions headquarters or in the capi-
tal of ■ neutral country.

Her husband was not
He managed one—hardly his in-
candescent grin—then the photng-
raphers pleaded. He and his wife
posed once, waving, and again
with the other members of the
family who came with them. Then
Eisenhower shepherded the whole
group down the steps and into an
automobile, standing beside the
car.
CHEER GOES UP
In front of the station, several
hundred people were waiting, al-
though the time of Eisenhower’s
arrival had not been announced.
They can smell these things in
Washington. Recognizing the mo-
torcade, they sent up a cheer The
cars, gathering speed, moved rap-
‘dlv away.
There was another cheer at the
hotel, and a brief moment of
picture - taking. The proceedings
were delayed once or twice by
Maj. John Elsenhower. He kept
stepping back, moving out of the
picture. His father had to urge him
to stay close to the rest of the
group. It included Mrs. Eisenhow-
er’s mother, Mrs. John Doud: and
the mator’s wife, and the mana-
ger of the hotel, Herbert Blunck,
with his wife.
Then they moved on to an ele-
vator and were gone.
Tt was brief, simple, and done
with a complete economy of time,
and a total absence of ceremony.
Mrs. Brannin had been critical-
ly ill for 10 days prior to her
death.
She was born Susan Alice Thom-
son Nov. 27, 1884, in Seymour. She
moved to Knox City with her fa-
ther shortly after her mother's
death when Mrs. Brannin was a
small child. She attended school
at Benjamin and Vera.
June 14, 1911, she was married
to R. S. Brannin. He was foreman
of the 6666 Ranch near Benjamin
and Knox City for several years.
He died Jan. 5, 1950.
She was a member of the Benja-
min Missionary Baptist Church.
Survivors include two sons, R.
S. Brannin, Jr., of East Williston,
N. Y., and Will Ed Brannin of
Richmond, Calif.; a brother, Milo
Thomson of Spur; two grandsons
and two granddaughters.
