Eisenhower urges Boys Nation to persevere and lead
President Eisenhower spoke informally to Girls and Boys Nation members from two states after they elected officers. He urged them to decide what is right and stick by it, noting leaders must have courage. A telegram congratulating Hopper and Jen was read, and the group received a $2,000 motor tiller as a gift from the organization.
