Eisenhowers Planning Trips;
On Hand for Favorite Party
By Betty Beale
The Chief of Staff and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower have a couple of
whirlwind trips to New York in store. The General of the Army, who
returned to Washington the end of last week, will go up to Manhattan on
Thursday with Mrs. Eisenhower to visit friends over the 11th, 12th and
13th, and again later this month they will pay a really flying visit to
that part of the world. In the meantime the Eisenhowers are still en
tertaining her parents, Mr and Mrs. John S. Doud, who plan to return
to Denver on the 20th.
Yesterday Gen. and Mrs. Eisenhower were on hand for that very special
bridge and mahjong session that Involves a small group of high ranking
Army officers and their wives every Sunday. This time the group met
Bt O UtUA-B nu UIC TT COI/l/UCOtCl
apartment of the Chief of Ordnance
and Mrs. Everett 8. Hughes. As al
ways there was supper and an early
adjourment as all men had to be on
the job this morning. Gen. "Ike’s”
■ favorite game is bridge and (of
course) he plays a corking one. Mrs.
Eisenhower much prefers mahjong.
Others at the party yesterday who
are regular members of the group
were Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Alfred M.
Gruenther, Maj. Gen. and Mrs.
Robert Littlejohn, Maj. Gen. and
Mrs. Henry B. Sayler and Brig. Gen.
and Mrs. B. F. Caffey. Gen. and
Mrs. Hughes also invited Lt. Gen.
and Mrs. Charles Hall, Col. and
Mrs. Henry Matchett and Mr. and
Mrs. Doud.
A long letter from Capt. and Mrs.
John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower tells
the former's parents that he has
just completed the first part of the
Army cooks and bakers course at
Fort Benning, Ga. The Chief of
Staff thinks that every young com
mander should know all about his
soldiers’ chow, and his own son is
first in the class. It seems like a
nice innovation—the bridegroom in
stead of the bride studying cooking.
Speaking of top Army figures,
Secretary of War and Mrs. Ken
neth Royall have had their daugh
ters visiting them for the past 10
days. Mrs. James Davis and her two
sons. James, jr., and Kenneth Royall
Davis, returned to New York City
today.
Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Albert Cox
are just back from a summer vaca
tion at Wrlghtsville Beach, N. C.
