Eisenhower trims Gettysburg staff after recent illness
At Gettysburg last weekend President Eisenhower traveled with a very small staff. Maj. Gen. Howard M. Snyder and Press Secretary James Hagerty were present as Mrs. Eisenhower seeks quiet and minimal official business after his cerebral attack. The pattern may extend to future farm visits with minimal aides. A stray black dog briefly wandered the White House door as legislators arrived for the bipartisanship meeting.
