DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER: (1890 - 1969) 34th President of the United States, Supreme Commander of Allied forces in Europe during World War II and largely responsible for the successful invasion on D-Day. Fine content T.L.S. "Ike" on his monogrammed letterhead, 1p. 4to., Palm desert, Feb. 5, 1964 to Hon. Lewis L. Strauss in which Eisenhower attacks controversial Washington Post columnist Drew Pearson! In small part: "...There are reasons why I did not join the list of Presidents who called him an unmitigated liar. The first was that the fact was already well-known. The second was that he feeds on the notoriety of being so-mentioned mby the Presidents of the United States. The third was that I would never let such a despicable individual know that I had taken the trouble to read his column...I did not even read his column concerning which I was questioned in Detroit...I had no interest...". Fine condition. Pearson had been the first to report the "slapping incident" caused by Ike's old friend, George Patton, and Pearson regularly harangued both incumbent and retired presidents in his fiery columns. Fine condition. $500-700
