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

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.

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.

was a national and international
figure.
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. Eisenhower was em
barked that day on the third of his
great crusades.

On Honor Roll
Elmo Smith Keeps Fast Pace; Traveling Planned
By PAUL-W. 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
