MURRAY Hill 7-6658 WASHINGTON OFFICE Special for JACQUELINE COCHRAN February 12, 1952 FILMS OF IKE FOR PRESIDENT RALLY FLOWN TO PARIS Nancy Osgood at 1:15 P.M. over WRC (Washington) "In Paris, aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran said today that Gen- eral Dwight D. Eisenhower was tremendously and deeply touched by films of last Friday night's The For President rally in New York. Miss Cochran flew to Paris with films taken at the rally attended by a crowd of 15 thousand persons in Madison Square Garden, wit- nessed by countless televiewers and broadcast by radio. She was present when the films were seen by Eisenhower in the projection room at Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe Asked if she thought the General's chances for becoming president were good, Miss Cochran said if only General Eisenhower would come back and do something about his chances it will be the first time that I will be optimistic about my country in 15 years. I hope and pray he will, and I think I'm speaking for millions of other Americans. "Some Eisenhower for President leaders fear that the gener- al will miss out on the nomination unless he returns soon and ac- tively campaigns for the nomination. He has said that he will an- swer a call to run, but has refused to campaign openly for the de- signation. Miss Cochran admitted that itis impossible now to tell if General The will return, but, she added, he impressed me with his leadership, humility and willingness to serve not only the Am- erican people but also the people of the world. I was astounded at the simplicity of his office." Chicago Cleveland Detroit Los Angeles New England New York Philadelphia San Francisco Washington
