' THURSDAY, MARCH 1. 1956 HKRALI) AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. ORKGON PAGE SEVKN 13 Years Ago Eisenhower Said 'Baloney' To Campaign WASHINGTON IJn it i.,.t 13 years ago that Dwight D. Eisenhower nrst heard his name suggested as a possible preslden tiaj candidate. The suggestion came from an American Legion post after Eisenhower's successful North African campaign in World War n. "Baloney!" was Eisenhower's reaction then. Thirteen years later the entire world awaited Eisenhower's re action to a second term as Re publican President of the United States. Probably never before was a human being subjected to such varying pressure while arriving at a decision. Eisenhower was the third of seven sons in a family that traces its American ancestry back to the 18th century. Five of them sur vive. BORN IN. TEXAS Born Oct. 14, 1890, in Denison, Tex., he grew up in Abilene, Kan. Tnere he gained the nickname Ike although no one knows why. Finishing high school at 18. he took competitive examinations and finished "first on the U.S. Naval A'cademy list and second on the U.S. Military Academy list. A few months too old to enter Annapolis, he got into West Point when the man ahead of him was unable to accept appointment. Chance had set him upon a bril liant career. At West Point, he was a prom ising football back until he broke a leg. In 1915. he was graduated 61st in a class of 164. His first assignment as a second lieutenant was with the 19th In fantry at Ft. Sam Houston. Tex. At a party there, he met Mamie Geneva Ooud, a Denver girl vis-, iting Texas with her parents. They were married July 1, 1916, in Den ver. FIRST SON Their first son. born in 1917. died of scarlet fever at the age of 3. A second boy. John. wa3 born in 1922. He followed his father into' West Point, is now an Army ma jor and the father of four children. President Eisenhower never got overseas in World War I. But in the 1930s, as a major, he accom panied Gen. Douglas MacArthur to the Philippines when the latter became military adviser there. He returned in 1939. In 1941, Eisenhower's tactical skill in big-scale Army maneuvers in Louisiana came to Washington's attention. The flames of war crackled across Europe. Ameri ca's entry was but months away. Shortly after Pea'fl Harbor. Gen. George C. Marshall. Army chief of staff, dispatched Eisen hower to London to draw up plans for the influx of American troops there. UPON RETURN Upon his return, to Eisenhow er's complete surprise, he was named to, execute his own plans as commander of the European theater of operations. For the first time, Eisenhower Television Victor ToTlct 'Extra Careful1 This Time By ALINE MOSBY HOLLYWOOD (UP) Lloyd Brid ges stars In another five television drama tonight but this time, he promised, he's sticking strictly to the script. Bridges is a quiet, well-behaved man who's been acting steadily for years with no overwhelming publicity. But recently in New York he made the front pages when he got carried away in a live tele play and swore. The swear words were mild, but NBOTV was deluged with phone calls, pro and con. Bridges admits he thought his career in live TV possibly was over. But CBS-TV paged him for tonight's "Climax!" drama, live from Hollywood. The actor plays a man who confesses a murder to a priest. And Bridges will be "extra careful." "I'm supposed to read the Act of Contrition to the priest, and the director gave me the actual book from the church." he said. "I came to that part about 'escaping Hell' and I made a mental note not to read that far tonight! I've decided not to be so realistic for . a while." Instead of hurting his career. Bridges' swear words caused a "terrific" reaction. "I got letters raving about the how, sayin it was just great," he grinned. "All over New York I got compliments from cab drivers. The director received letters that were fantastic." In that fatal teleplay, the violent scene was unrehearsed because "There was no need to play it to tne nut or I mignt lose the emotion later." On the air, he dropped a club he was supposed to wave at a group of people. So he ad llbbed a lew yells. The swear words crept in. "The greatest reaction was from the other actors," he said. "Their mouths all fell open. I wouldn't nave Known I even swore but for them. I looked at the camera and saw we still were on the air. So I kept going." In real life Bridges is "a non- swearing man." This caused his parents to telephone him from Eu reka, Calif., when they read the news. His 14-year-old son came home from school to know "about tnis cursing." "I never made the front pages oeiore. in all my years of acting. said Bridges, and shook his head in wonderment.

He headed the Allied forces in the North African campaign of 1942 and made a standout reputa tion by placating and fusing into unity American. British and Free French forces. Successes followed in Sicllv and Italy. And in December 1943. President Roosevelt chose Eisen hower as supreme Allied com mander for the all-out invasion of Nazi Europe. The military climax of Eisen hower's career began June 6. 1944, when he sent the Allied forces on to the Ncrmandy beaches after telling them: "You are about to embark on a great crusade." It was his first public use of the phrase, bnt not his last. Germany surrendered Mav T, 1945, and the first of Eisenhowec's great crusades was at a triumph ant end. IN MOSCOW In Moscow, in London, in Paris and finally back in New York Eisenhower received the tumult uous plaudits of a conquering hero. He became Army chief of staff No. 19. 1945 and held the Army's top post until Feb. 7. 1948 Meanwhile, he related in His memoirs later. President Truman at the Potsdam conference in 1945 offered to help him get the presi dency if he wanted it. Eisenhower wasn't interested. Eisenhower retired from the Army and took over the presi dency of Columbia University in 1948. But shortly thereafter he took leave to answer Truman's call to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1951, he left Columbia a sec ond time to command forces un der the North Atlantic Treaty Al liance. It was his second great crusade, and he never returned to the university. As the 1948 political conventions neared. there had- been strong movements by both Democrats and Republicans to draft him for the nomination. He declined then, but four years later the Repub licans renewed their pressure on him. AVAILABLE On Jan. 7. 1952, Eisenhower made himself available for- the GOP nomination. At the end of May he returned home from NATO to push his candidacy. The late Sen. Robert E. Taft battled him right down to the convention. But it was Eisenhower on the first ballot. At the age of 61, Elsenhower retired from the Army he had served for 41 years and bit the presidential campaign trail. That November of 1952, Elsen hower defeated the Democratic candidate, Adlai E. Stevenson, 33, 936,252 votes to 27,314,992 to be come the 34th President of the United States. i With a prayer for guidance, he was inaugurated Jan. 20, 1953. Dwight D.

HARVEY JR. SALEM Ifl Gov. Elmo Smith. on becoming governor a month ago, naturally thought about his heart. It was on his mind, because Gov. Paul Patterson had Just died of a heart attack. The fact that President Eisen hower sunercd a heart attack makes public officials concerned about their own hearts, too. The first thing Gov. Smith told me after taking over the executive office was this: "While Paul's heart was reported in good shape Just before his death. I can':, help but feel that his fast pace was a factor in his sudden death. He worked night and day, and a man can't keep that up. HARDEST STRAIN "The hardest strain is attending public dinners almost every night and making speeches at them. "One thing I can say for sure. I'm not'going to lead that faat a pace, and I'm going to be sure I get a good nights sleep every nignt." That might be a good resolution. But Smith hasn't lived up to it He's been going at Just as fast i clip as Patterson did. He's not only keeping most of the appointments that the late gov ernor nad made before his death. Smith is making new ones. Smith had a complete physical examination before be announced ha would run. Smith Isn't well known through-H-erats might capture, out. the state.- He represented Grant. Harney and Malheur coun ties in the Senate and not many people know him in other sections of the state. . As a candidate for the Republi can nomination for governor, he will have ,to do a lot of traveling before the primary election on May 18. , HANDICAP He realizes his handicap, pointing out the problem of a statewide candidate who lives in Eastern Oregon, where only a seventh of the state's population lives. So, in his quest tor election to the governorship, his determtna- tion to take things easier has gone down tne drain. Smith will have one big advan-' tage, though. He is Inheriting many of the supporters of Paul j Patterson, That's a big help when it comes to setting up party or ganizations in the counties. I His chief opponent in the prl- i mary. Rep. Walter Norblad, has been better known than Smith, j Norblad, having in mind for a long j time that he wanted to be gover-1 nor, has made appearances outside his own district. i The Republican leaders, are dls- muyed that Norblad Is running for governor, because that opens up a congressional race that the Dcmo- Tliey have been trying to figure out why Norblad, Just when he is acquiring some seniority, wants to switch to governor. FAMILY REASONS Some of them figure that Nor? blad feels it necessary because of famtlv reasons. Norblad's father, A. W. Norblud. having been president of the Sen ate, became governor on Dec. 22, 1929. when Gov. I. L. Patterson died. He served only two years. Julius L. Meier, the only independ ent ever elected governor, auc vetoed him. Whether that's Walter Norblad i chief reason for running, it's prob ably a factor. Mrs. Paul Patterson, after threa years as fust lady, moves this i Cedar Hills . Mano.-, weekend to Bcaverton. She has answered 1.500 letter! and telecrams since her husband's death. Two hundred contributions were given to the heart fund by friends of the late governor. - I Mrs. Patterson will be back te fSalem frequently. She has to, at A Republican.
