Ike To Spend Thanksgiving At War Front ■. ; V ■ ' f . ■ '/ ' Expected To Spend Thanksgiving Day On Korean Front AUGUSTA, Gal UP —Presidentelect Dwight D. Eisenhower probably will spend \Thanksgiving with American troops on the front line. Members of Elsenhower's growing here did not want to talk abdut the Koreah trip for security reasons, but there were indications he would leave) shortly after his> talks with President Truman in Washington next week. It wds known that Eisenhower was pleased by reports from Gen. Van Fleet Monday fli/ht that two nAw South Korean 'divisions and six additional regiments had been added to the United Nations forceV i , During the last \'weeks of \ his campaign, Eisenhower repeatedly expressed his long-standing theory that American casualties in Korea could be materially ? reduced by putting more South Koreans into the front lines. The GOP winner did not project his Korean trip as an “teapy an--Bwer”to the dragging war but said he wanted to examine the situation for himself in the hope of speeding peace, and short of that, “reducing the American combat report." “pne look is better than a hiil lion reports,” Van Fleet said from the Far East Monday night. Eisenhower said substantially the same thing dur'ltig the weeks of the campaign.' The President - elect probably will leave here* Sunday for New York for consultations u ith nis advance policy-makers, led by Sens. Henry Cabot Lodge, R-Mgss., and Joseph M. Dodge, before going to (Washington to see the President.; Eisenhower’s talks with Mr. Truman early next week about the orderly transition of the government from one administration to another would prevent him from attending a conference of southern governors in New Orleans NC»v. 16-13. Some, of the southern states supported him enthusiastically in the campaign. Two southern senators have said they believe that southern Democratic lawmakers will support the Eisephower administration on all sound legislative proposals during his term in office. Sen. Burnet h.
