Eisenhower Declines Active Campaign After Resigning Command
General Eisenhower announced he would not actively campaign for the Republican nomination and would resign as supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe. He said his resignation would allow him to speak freely and complete his duties without defense department constraints. He planned no postwar timetable but hoped to attend a Kansas museum dedication and to finish his European assignment with minimal political interference.
