By Russian Staff Here
BY the Assoeioted Press

The United States may impose
Q travel ban on the Soviet EN-
bassy staff here In retaliation for
extensive new restrictions placed
on Americans and other foreign
diplomats in Moscow by the Rus
sian government.
Word Of the latest extension Of
Iron Curtain rules reached Wash
tngton yesterday and Secretary Of
State Acheson was asked about
retaliation at a news conference.
He said the State Department
had received only q very brief
message about the development
from the Embassy in Moscow and
he did not yet know what the
American response would be. He
clearly left open the possibility
Of a breakdown On Soviet diplo-
matte travel in the United States,
however, and this checked with
Information from other official
sources.
II precedent is followed and q
final decision is made to impose
the ban, Russian Ambassador
Alexander S. Panyushkin and his
staff would be forbidden to travel
more than about IS miles outside
Washington without special per-
mission from the State Depart
ment. That is the limit now in
effect on travel Of foreign ENJOYS
IN the area around Moscow.
When the United States re-
taliated for restrictions imposed
by the Communist governments
Of Romania and Hungary, it ap-
piled to their diplomatic missions
and employees here the same limit

Pearl Harbor, Gen. Marshall

He was later placed in charge OF
the Operations Division. There
he had the responsibility, under
Gen. Marshal, for marshaling
the Army's meager resources for

Eisenhower, as the second in the
tests, received it.
Despite some misgivings on the
part of his mother, whose re-
lligious training turned her toward
pacifism, Ike entered the Mill

he was graduated 61st in a class
of 164.
At the academy Cadet Eisen-
hover played football for two sea-
sons. He was regarded as one of
the East's most promising backs
until he broke a leg in a game
against Tufts College. During his
years in the Army he maintained
an interest in the game. When
he was named president of
Columbia University, he appeared
on the football field one day and,
jokingly, asked the team to win
every game in the first quarter.

"you can't stand the strain of

While his scholastic record at
the academy was anything but
outstanding, young Eisenhower
managed to graduate in the first

later his record as a student i'm
proved. He finished first in his

For the Kansas boy from the
other side of the railroad tracks,
it was the end of his first crusade.
In a way. it was the beginning
of the second.
Gen. Eisenhower was hailed
throughout the democratic world
as a hero. President Truman,
jubilant in the allied victory, told
him he could have his support for
anything he wanted, including the
presidency.
Honors were heaped upon him.
At the invitation of Prime Min
lister Stain, Gen. Eisenhower
visited Moscow. At Stalin's in
vitation he mounted platform
atop Lenin's tomb in MoScow's
Red Square and reviewed a dem
Ionstration by 1000 athletes-the
first foreigner ever to receive such
an invitation.
The city of London bestowed on
him its highest honor of Free
man" and at an informal tea at
Buckingham Palace King George
WI invested him with the Order
of Merit-the first American SOL
dier to receive the order. France
made him "a Fellow of Liberia
ton" after he had ridden in tri-
umph through the streets of
Paris.
But for Gen. Eisenhower. the
Kansas boy with Midwestern
mannerisms and way of speech,
the greatest thrills came when he
returned to the United States to
receive tumultuous welcomes
wherever he went. He landed here
in Washington and an estimated
I million persons cheered him as
he rode to the Capitol to address
a joint meeting of the House and
Senate
Huge New York Welcome.
New York gave him a tradi-
tional welcome with an esti-
mated number of several million
along the route of the Eisenhower
procession. New York also pre-
sented him with a gold medal as
the victorious commander in
chief of the allied armies in de-
fense of human liberty and the
fundamental principles on which
free institutions rest" and made
him an honorary citizen.
New York simply can't do this
to a Kansas farmer boy and keep
Its reputation for sophistication,"
the general told the cheering
throng.
After a visit to West Point, Gen.
Eisenhower returned to Abilene
for a celebration which brought
the homecoming officially to a
close. He didn't care for the signs
which read, welcome to Our
Hero" and declared:
II am not the hero. I am the
symbol of the heroic men you peo-
Iple and all of the United States
sent to war. 1t has been my great
honor to command 8 million
American men and women in Eu-
lrope."

ltry and foreign powers came to

He is 39-year-old Senator Rich

AS Gen. Eisenhower's running

Only one younger man has been

President in 1857 in the admins

Seven years ago, Senator Nixon,
a lawyer by training, left the Navy
to step into politics. 1t came about
in this way.
Representatives of Republican

The young Representatives work
IN the House set him on the path
that led to the vice presidency.
He became known throughout the
country as the man who broke
the Alger Hiss case and paved the
way for the indictment and con-
viction Of the former State De-

In 1850 he moved into the Sem

Helen Gahagan Douglas. the for
mer actress. by resounding mar
gin of 100000 votes.
When he entered the Senate he
was its youngest Republican mem

as IAN internationalist, a liberal"
in foreign affairs and "a moderate
conservative" on domestic matters.

When President Roosevelt an
nounced his selection in Decem-
ber, 1943. he said:
His performance in Africa,
Sicily and Italy have been bril-

successful experience the way to

From the Mediterranean COM
mand he moved to England to su-
pervise the build up of the forces
to attack Europe across the Eng

on the Hitler fortress. There were
months of hard work and plan

Then came the time for the in
vasion. It fell to Gen. Eisenhower
as supreme commander to give
the signal for that invasion from
his hidden headquarters in the
English countryside - the signal
that would send men to theil
deaths and risk the allied might
in an invasion of coastal France
The position of a high com.
mander is essentially a lonely one
at any time. It is his lot to make
the final decisions. So it was with
Gen. Eisenhower when it came
time for the invasion.

While troops were storming the
blood soaked beaches, he dictated
a statement which he never hac

would have issued if he had been
forced to withdraw the attacking
forces. In the statement he said

ing duty in this country. For his
service as commander of tank
troops at Camp Colt, in Pennsyl-
vania, he received the Distin-
guished Service Medal.
During World War I he at
tanned the temporary rank of
lieutenant colonel. At the end Of
hostilities he began the long. slow
grind up the Army ladder again
from his permanent rank Of cap

the service schools aided his ad-
vance as he demonstrated his ca

Then, on February 7. l948. he

years Of military service. But 1t
was retirement in only one sense
of the word. He left the service

Army and with the ranks life

President of Columbia.
Nor was it retirement to a we'll
earned rest. On June 7. l948. Gen.
Eisenhower became president Of
Columbia University, the fourth
anniversary of D day, plus /. He
quickly and easily turned his
great energies from war to the
field of education. He began
to take an active part in public
discussions of economic and other
related matters-and these en-
ihanced the growing demand for
him to become a candidate for
President. But he resisted.
A Columbia professor once told
him the university faculty was
scared of you" when they heard
he was to become the president.
"The faculty would have been
reassured." Gen. Eisenhower re-
piled, ito know that was scared
to death of them"
He continued to serve as an

In 1850. President Truman re-
called Gen. Eisenhower to active
duty to become supreme allied
commander of the North Atlantic
treaty forces in Europe. His ap-
Ipointment served to restore a
large measure of confidence in
Europe. The climax came when
the NATO nations unanimously
agreed to join in a full -fledged
European defense pact.
Meanwhile. the hue and cry for
Gen. Eisenhower to become cam
didate for President increased.
His name was entered by his sup
porters in the New Hampshire
primary. The victory there and
even more so the huge write-in
vote he received in Minnesota
brought Gen. Eisenhower to the
point of another momentous de-
cision. He resolved it as a SOL
dier Of high calling would-he
answered the call to another
calling.
