Eisenhower was tremendously and deeply touched by\nfilms of last Friday night's Ike For President rally in New York.\nMiss Cochran flew to Paris with films taken at the rally attended\nby a crowd of 15 thousand persons in Madison Square Garden, wit-\nnessed by countless televiewers and broadcast by radio. She was\npresent when the films were seen by Eisenhower in the projection\nroom at Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe. Asked\nif she thought the General's chances for becoming president were\ngood, Miss Cochran said if only General Eisenhower would come\nback and do something about his chances it will be the first time\nthat I will be optimistic about my country in 15 years. I hope\nand pray he will, and I think I'm speaking for millions of other\nAmericans.\n\"Some Eisenhower for President leaders fear that the gener-\nal will miss out on the nomination unless he returns soon and ac-\ntively campaigns for the nomination. He has said that he will an-\nswer a call to run, but has refused to campaign openly for the de-\nsignation. Miss Cochran admitted that it's impossible now to tell\nif General Ike will return, but, she added, he impressed me with\nhis leadership, humility and willingness to serve not only the Am-\nerican people but also the people of the world. I was astounded\nat the simplicity of his office.\"\nCONFIDENTIAL\nChicago\nCleveland\nDetroit\nLos Angeles\nNew England\nNew York\nPhiladelphia\nSan Francisco\nWashington"
