SIXTEEN MEBrOHD (OHEOON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 29. 1953 Next Summer White House May Be in Pennsylvania Gettysburg. Pa. (U.R) Eis enhower supporters In this his toric battlefield community are telling visitors that the next "Summer White House" will be on an 189--acre farm about three miles south of here. The farm was bought by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for $44. 000 in November of 1950. The general never got a chance to occupy his rural retreat because the press of national duties sent him to Europe two months la ter to take charge of the army of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization. If Eisenhower should be nom inated at the Republican conven tion in July, and is elected Pres ident in November, it is possible that the eight-room red brick dwelling on the farm would be come the scene of historic events either as a summer White House or as a rural retreat. It is only a two-hour drive frm Wash ington. The farm lies about 2,000 feet west of the southern rim of Sem inary Ridge, Gen. Robert E. Lee's strongpoint at the Battle of Gettysburg. Less than a mile north lies the area from which Pickett launched his charge that failed to dislodge the troops of Gen. George E. Meade. The Eisenhower farm it has no formal name is purely a working establishment now. It has shown a modest profit under the direction of Brig. Gen. Ar thur S. Nevins, Ret., who has been a close friend of Eisenhow er since their World War I days. The largest structure on the farm is a red and blue barn about three times the size of the main house. Windmills draw the water from the earth. The biggest money-maker on the farm is a herd of 12 milk producing Holsteins and ten Guernseys. There are also 11 calves, eight of them heifers. Al together the herd produces 60 gallons of milk daily. At present about 1,000 white Leghorns produce some 15 doz en eggs daily. The yield la ex pected to jump to about 30 doz en in August and September. AH of the acreage not used for pasture is cultivated, either in corn, wheat, hay or oats. One of the reasons that Eisen hower chose to make his perma nent home In Pennsylvania was the deep attachment he formed for the rolling central Prennsyl vania country when he served at nearby Camp Colt during his early days in the Army. Another reason Is that Penn sylvania is Eisenhower country from way back. His ancestors originally settled In Pennsylvan ia between 1730 and 1740. His father, David Eisenhower, spent his boyhood at nearby Elizabeth ville, Pa. A brother, Milton S., is president of Pennsylvania State College. Another brother, Earl, lives at California, Pa. Should Eisenhower become president and a war ensue, he would be close to Camp Ritchie, Md., where the war department J is reputedly building a bomb- j proof Pentagon refuge to be us- i ed in case of hostilities. 1 Also nearby is the mountain retreat of President Franklin D. i Roosevelt the famed Shangri- i La. Eisenhower's predecessor as chief of staff of the United States army, General George C. Marshall, lives about 50 miles away at Lccsburg, Va.
