Mamie Good Soldier On Ike's Decision To Run

WASHINGTON (INS) — First Lady Mamie, who would like nothing better than to be married to a Gettysburg farmer named Ike Eisenhower, accepted with stiff upper lip Wednesday night her husband's wooing-—on leap year—of the American electorate. She has proved a good soldier before. As Mamie's intimate friends watcher her smile mistily at her husband on television, they could not help but recall her futile efforts in 1952 to dissuade the five-star general from the political arena. Losing that fight, she reacted like a true sportsman. Pouring her all into the melting pot of American politics, Mamie campaigned side by side with Ike during the tumultuous fivemonth's drive tkat led '"to the White House. Never by a flicker of her dancing blue eyes did she lead a voter (o suspect that Mamie of the breesy western slang and warm handshake desired anything other than an exciting life in the Exdbutive Mansion. She proved the same loyal scout Wednesday night. A few hours before the President’s radio-tele-vision announcement to the largest audience of all time, Mamie authorised the White House to make this statement for her: "Mrs. Eisenhower will be at the President’s side when he addresses the nation tonight, just as she has always been at his side." The public, between the lines, eould read its own interpretation. Mamie smiled valiantly Wednesday night when her husband told his millions of listeners that his family would “cheerfully abide by

whatever I decided was best to do.* The first lady, battle - scarred from the weeke-long watch beside her husband’s sick bed in Denver last fall, had long been searching her own soul. Until a heart attack lamed Ike in the prime of his 65th year, she had been the member of the family who had to watch her health. Plagued by a heart-murmur since early childhood, she well remembered the teen-years when her well-to-do parents had troated her from Denver to San Antonio, Tex., each winter to guard her fragile health. It was on one of those Journeys, tn 1956, that she fell in love with a second lieutenant fresh out of West Point, named Dwight D. Eisenhower. Life since their marrige has not all been hearts and flowers Cor Mamie. During the lengthy interim while Ike worked his way up from lieutenant to five-star general, Mamie kept house in a succession of rundown army establishments, swept bats and rats out of a bouse in Panama, bore and lost one infant son, fretted about her husband during the battles of Britain and the Bulge, and wept unashamedly as she saw her only surviving son, Maj. John Eisenhower, oft to the war in Korea. But the intimate agree that never once did Mamie try to impose her will on the President. Ike. who hates a quitter, wanted a chance to see his middle-of-the-road program through, and she agreed that the decision must be his.

Ike's decision, however, is now made. It the American people decide, in the majesty of our democratic system, to return her husband to the White House next January, none will be prouder than Mamie Doud Eisenhower. For four more years, she will gladly assume the onerous burdens of charity luncheons, official guests, and partisan attacks. She will shake tens of thousands of unknown hands, answer letters and telegrams by the barrel, and run a 54-room mansion—all without pay. You see, she loves that man!

What Is the chairman’s function at a public dinner or banquet? A. He site at the center of the speakers* table. After the dessert he rises, addresses a few pleasant remarks to the company at large, and then introduces the first speaker. When that speaker has finished, the chairman comments on the speech and then introduces the next speaker. The guest of honor, who is seated at the chairman’s right, is the last to speak. Q. If a girl attends a cocktail party, and does not drink, what should she do when one is offered to her? A. She may refuse graciously with a "No, thank you.” Os course, a girl who does not drink should not be attending a cocktail party. Q. Is there really such a thing as being “fashionably late**? A. I should call this "fashionably rude.” One should always arrive at the appointed time, or at least never more than ten minutes late.
