the question that swept the nation On Jan 7 he finally answered Gen said that he was a Republican and that if nominated he would run for the He added however that he would not actively campaign for the nomination but gave a free hand to others to conduct a campaign for him The r m y's statement caused a turmoil in United States politics It was an admitted for the forces pushing Sen Taft for the nomination and it posed a difficult problem for the struggling to off charges of corruption in government Eisenhower who commanded the most massive invasion force in the history of kind became a soldier by chance After graduating from high school in lene Kan he took competitive examinations for both West Point and Annapolis He ed first in his Annapolis exam and second in the Army test but he was past the age limit for the Naval academy By a coincidence the highest man on the Military academy list was unable to accept appointment and as second highest Eisenhower received it in- stead At West Point he put in two seasons of football and was regarded as one of the most promising backs in the East until he broke a leg playing against Tufts college Though he held the temporary rank of brigadier general he was only a lieutenant colonel in the Regular Army at the time of Pearl Harbor He was quickly advanced however after the entry of the United States into the war Eisenhower headed the expeditionary force to North Africa in November of 1942 The Germans later admitted invasion came as a complete surprise When President Roosevelt announced the selection of Eisenhower as Allied er

hailed as a conquering hero in the capitols of the Allied nations His welcome in New York was one of the greatest in the city's history After his return to this country he was assigned as Army Chief of Staff a job which he gave up in 1948 to assume the presidency of Columbia university In late 1950 President Truman called on Eisenhower to take command of the of European defense against the of a Communist invasion of Western Europe Ike now is pursuing that job at SHAPE Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe in Paris The Campaign As holders of public office over the past years Stassen Warren and Taft have had far more chance to make their opinions lic on specific issues than has Eisenhower The general has however in speeches de- livered while in the Army and as president of Columbia made his position generally clear on many of the issues that promise to be im- portant in the coming election In the field of foreign affairs Eisenhower is an outspoken opponent of isolationism In a Kansas speech after the war he This section of the country has been ed the heart of isolation I do not believe it No intelligent man can be an isolationist and there is no higher level of education where in the world than here in the Midwest Man Continued on Page 6 Warn Bey Force Will Be Used to Restore Peace Ten Days of Rioting Takes Lives of 50 By CARTER L DAVIDSON TUNIS
