Eisenhower Is New
U.S. President
General Dwight David
Eisenhower won the Pre
sidency of the United
States today, breaking up
a 20-year Democratic con
trol of the White House a
landslide which extended
into the Solid South.
__About 2:30 this morning,
Eisenhower's opponent,
Governor Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois, conceded de
feat, after losing almost
every important state and
bowin%l also in Virgim’a
and orida, traditional
Democratic territory.
Eiserhower’s piurality ex
ceeded 4.000,000 votes and his
sweep in the Electoral College
was even greater.
It appeared also that the Re
publicans would regain Senate
control by a small margin,and
full control of the House
of Representatives.
