MEET THE WINNERS
Eisenhower and Nixon:
The New High Command
Few men in American history have stepped from one of
the highest military posts to the highest civil post their country
could offer them. Still fewer start out in politics right at the
top. And, too, few men lead an army of 5,000,000 men to victory
in a great and bloody world war.
America, Eisenhower was a tem-
porary brigadier general and chief
of staff of the Third Army. By the
following April of 1942 he was a
temporary major general and was
serving as chief of the Division of
War Plans in Washington.
Two months later. General
Marshall, who was then chief of
staff, asked Eisenhower to com-
mand the new European theater of
operations.
Thus, Eisenhower suddenly ap-
peared on the stage as one of the
central characters when his name
wasn’t even on the program. No
one had heard of him. And, too,
some people wished that, as the
symbol of the American contribu-
tion to winning the war, Eisenhow-
er were a little more Pattonesque.
The story of World War II as
Eisenhower saw it has been told
by many people already, includ-
ing himself. Little more can be
said. The whole story already has
been written of the North African
and Italian campaigns, D-Day—H
Hour, the battle for France, the
St. Lo break-through and the Battle
of the Bulge, the crossing of the
Rhine, the last campaign in Ger-
many and the final capitulation of
the Axis powers.
Eisenhpwer handled what was
probably the biggest job any mili-
tary man ever had and did it well.
In 35 months he changed from an
almost unknown general to an in-
ternational leader.
Following the war, Eisenhower
became chief of staff for a short
while and then left the army to be-
come president of Columbia uni-
versity.
When the 1948 election came
along, “draft Eisenhower” move-
ments sprang up all over the
country. But the general said no
Then the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization forces came into being
and needed a commander. Eisen-
hower was asked to take the post
and accepted.
Hardly had he started in this new
job when the 1952 election rolled
around and again there was talk
of drafting him for president. Eis-
enhower said he could not take the
nomination in the absence of a
“clear cut call to duty”. When the
primaries were over he had his
clear cut call, and in July won the
Republican nomination.
Such is the man who, Tuesday,
was elected by the American
voters as their 34th President,
Dwight David Eisenhower.
Eisenhower stands five feet ten
inches tall and usually weighs in
at about 190 pounds. On October 14,
he was 62 years old.
The original Eisenhowers ar-
rived in America in the early part
of the 18th century and settled as
part of a community of Mennon-
ites in Pennsylvania. In 1878 came
the great trek to Kansas." The Eis-
enhowers settled in Abilene where
David and Ida Eisenhower were
married.
Dwight David was the third old-
est of six sons born to David and
Ida. The fourth oldest, Roy, a
pharmacist, died in 1942. Arthur,
the oldest, Is a Kansas City banker.
Edgar is senior partner in the Ta-
coma, Washington, law firm of Eis-
enhower, Hunter and Ramsdell.
Earl is an electrical engineer, and
Milton, the youngest and second
best known of the lot, is president
of Pennsylvania state university.
Originally, Eisenhower was
christened David Dwight but his
mother turned it around because
she disliked hearing him called
“Dave”. She did not reckon with
the nickname “Ike” which all of
the Eisenhower brothers bore at
one time or another and which
stuck to her third born.
Many reasons have been men-
tioned for his choice of a military
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
career. It is possible that even
Eisenhower himself is not sure. He
may have been motivated by noth-
ing more than the fact that he
would receive a college education,
which neither he nor his father
could afford, at government ex-
pense and, at the same time, see
some of the world outside the nat-
urally confining sphere of Abilene.
What put the idea in his head
originally was being told by a
friend of the latter’s intention of
going to Annapolis. Eisenhower
liked the idea and began to study
for the entrance examination. When
the examinations were graded he
stood second on the list and was,
therefore, eligible for either An-
napolis or West Point. But, in the
meantime, he had passed his 20th
birthday and was no longer eligible
for the naval academy. Through
Senator Bristow of Kansas, he ob-
tained his appointment to the Unit-
ed States military academy.
In West Point, as in his previous
school work, he was less interested
in academic work than in sports.
However, his scholastic average for
the four years put him in the top
third of his class. He also had the
makings of a star football player
until a knee injury disqualified him
for football forever.
On June 12, 1915, he was gradu-
ated and commissioned a second
lieutenant.
Eisenhower’s first .assignment
was in San Antonio, Texas, where,
the following October, he met
Mamie Geneva Doud. They were
married the following July of 1916.
The Eisenhower’s first son, Doud,
died when he was three, but a sec-
ond son, John Doud, was born and
is now an army major. When he
took his entrance examination for
West Point, John had the highest
score ever made by a Kansas ap-
plicant.
Although he very much wanted
to get overseas during World War
I, Eisenhower never got outside the
United States. Instead, he was put
in command of a tank training
school — an unusual assignment
since the school had no tanks.
Following the war, he settled
down to the monotony of peace-
time army life.
Eisenhower had many varied
tours of duty but none of them
colorful, at least from his view-
point. He spent two and a half
years in the Panama Canal zone
with Brig. Gen. “Fox” Connor. He
met such men as the flamboyant
George S. Patton. The thing that
was to lift him out of monotonous
anonymity was his assignment, in
February, 1933, as assistant to the
then chief of staff, Gen. Douglas
MacArthur. When MacArthur went
to the Philippines as special ad-
visor, Eisenhower went along.
When World War II broke for
Now the election is over and he
is about to take on the biggest job
of his career—the presidency of
the United States.
His running mate, Sen. Richard
Milhous Nixon, was born in Yorba
Linda. California, in 1913 and later
moved with his parents to Whittier,
where he graduated from Whirls*,
college and won a scholarship to
Duke university. Upon receiving
his law degree, he returned to
Whittier to practice. It was shortly
after this that he met his wife-to-
be, Patricia Ryan, when they were
both acting in a play given by a
community theater. They have two
small daughters.
During the war he served with
the Navy, spending the better part
of four years in the South Pacific.
At the end of the war he left the
Navy as a lieutenant commander
and elected to go into politics. He
beat the incumbent Democrat in
the 12th congressional district of
California and won the seat in the
house of representatives.
There he was active in prosecut-
ing Alger Hiss and was on the
house un-American activities com-
mittee when it was investigating
Gerhard Eisler and Eugene Den-
nis. He also took part in the com-
mittee’s Hollywood inquiries. He
was coauthor of the Mundt-Nixon
bill for the registration of Com-
munists. In 1950 he was elected to
the senate.
Then came the 1952 Republican
party convention where, to his own
surprise, he was nominated for
the vice-presidency.
When the election returns had
been counted, Nixon found that he
had been elected to the second
highest office in the land—vice-
president of the United States—only
six years after his entry into
politics.
These are your president and
vice-president for the next four
years.
