Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gener
al of the Armies and Chief of
Staff, is expected to bring on im
portant report on world affairs
to the Fortieth Annual Farm and
Home Week when he addresses
the State’s farmers and home
makers in Riddick Stadium on the
State College campus,‘August 28.
The Texas-born and Kansas-
reared “Soldier of Democracy”
who will become president of
Columbia University sometime
in 1948, will be one of the most
iistinlguished and outsta^nding
persons ever to appear on a Farm
and Home Week program.
The State College Agricultural
Extension Service, sponsoring a
gency with the North Carolina
Federation of Home ■ Demonstnja-
tion Clubs and the Farmers’ C ^
vention,'' released the foliowing
biographical data this week.
The Eisenhower family, then
spelled Esenhauer, came to A-
merica from "Rotterdam in 1741.
As a part of a Colony called River
Brethern, Gen. Eisenhower’s fam
ily moved to Kansas in 1778. From
Kansas, the General’s parents,
David and Amada Eisenhower
moved to Denison, Tex., and it
was there, on October 14, 1^0,
that Dwight David', Eisenhower
was '^hprn.
Just a year later, the family
moved back to Kansas, where the
boy who was to one day com
mand the Supreme Headquarters
Of the Allied Expeditionary For^
ces in the world’s greatest war,
lived a normal youth, playing
and working to help with the fam
ily income.’
His first step toward a bril
liant Army career was his en
trance to West Point, where he
played fooCball and teceived an
injured knee for his |efforts.
When he graduated, his orders
took him to the 19th Infantry at
Galveston, Tex. During the first
world war, he was placed in com
mand of a tank corps training
center, and was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Medal.
In 1922, he was sent to the
Panama Canal as executive of
ficer, an^ in 1925 he attended the
Command and General Staff
School at Leavenworth, Kan.,
where he graduated at the top of
his class of 27® men. General
Douglas MacArtbur was Army
Chief of Staff at that time, and
he selected Dwight D. Eisenhower
to join his corps of Staff person
nel. In September, 1935, he went
to the Philippine Islands, where
he was instrumental in founding
a military academy built along
West Point lines at Baguio. He also
helped to devise, a basic strategic
and tactical Philippine defense
plan. The strategy, whT^ Gen
MacArthur later employed fiy de
fense of the Islands against the
Japanese—including the' retreat
into Bataan—-was worked out in
detail during the earlier period
of Eisenhower’s assignment.
His next appointment was exe
cutive Secretary of War, and -on
February 16, 1942, he was named
assistant Chief of Staff to Gen.
George C. Marshall. He had pre-
vioiisly worked ou{ iq a tenta
tive and general way the basic
plan for a cross-channel invasion
of German-held Europe, and with
this promotion, planning the in
vasion was an official part of his
job. : ■
In- England, Gen. Eisenhower
made a great impact on the Bri
tish with his sense of humot, his
candid, and soundness of judgment.
Hjb was acclaimed an expert in
tanks, logistics, and strategy.
He was made commander of the
European Theatre of Operations,
and when the decision was made
to invade North Africa, this com
mand was also his responsibility.
Setting up headquarters at Gibral-
ter, he became the first “foreign
er” in more than two centuries
to control the fort. In the Nov
ember that preceded “D-Day”,
Gen. Eisenhower was the unani
mous choice of Churchill, the
late President Roosevelt, and the
combined staffs, to command Su
preme Headquarters of the Allied
Expeditionary Forces.
And the rest is history:
At his appearance on the State
College campus, the popular gen
eral will be introduced by Jacob
M. Pickier, of New London, pres
ident of Farmers’ Convention. He
is scheduled to.speak "t 8:00 p.
m., Thursday, August 28. The
annqal affair will be held Aug
ust 25-29. ,
