In New 'Digest'
The Man Closest to the President, is the title of an article con
cerning Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower in the June issue of the Reader's
Digest, on the newsstands today.
In the three and one-half page , article, author Stanley High says
"the most influential person in the new government is not, of
ficially, in the government at all.
He is not and never has been in
politics. He is `Prexy' Milton Ei
senhower, Ike's younger brother."
Although the two brothers are
nine years apart in age, says High,
they "think alike and their think
ing has led them to like conclu
sions and convictions." Ike's mid
dle-of-the-road doctrine was large
ly worked out by himself and
Milton years ago, "in batting ideas
back and forth."
"Few men know more than Mil
ton Eisenhower knows about the
vast mechanism of our federal
government," the article reports.
"He has been a college president
for ten years, but his previous
record of government service
covered 19 years 2 --eight of them
under Republican, 11 under Dem
ocratic administrations and an
amazing variety of jobs."
At 24, graduating from Kansas
State College, after winning top ,
honors in diplomatic examina
tions, Dr. Eisenhower was sent to
Edinburgh as vice counsel. After
two years there he was appointed
administrative assistant to the
Secretary of Agriculture. Dt. Ei
senhower served under four dif
ferent secretaries, and was Land-
Use Coordinator when he resigned
from the department in 1942 be
cause he did not agree with the
"political pervision" of the agri
cultural program, .
During the war, a mong other
things, Dr. Eisenhower directed
the reloCation of_ the West Coast
Japanese and directed the Office
of War Information
In 1943 he became - the president
of the Kansas State College.
Today Dr. Eisenhower works
many hours on the President's
Advisory Committee on Govern
ment Organization: The results of
its • work can be seen in the re
organization of the Department
of Agriculture, and in the lifting
of the Federal Security Agency
to cabinet status.
According to High, Dr. Eisen
hower regards as perhaps his most
important assignment the firm
eetablishment of the middle road
dOctkine as the basic ideology of
the Eisenhower administration.
"If that z happe,ns," High observes,
"the United :States and the rest
of the free world beset - so long by
extremists, will:be gainers."

Alumni
Drove - - -Progressing
- Progress in the Alumni Association membership drive is "very,
very good,",Ross Lehman, assistant executive 'secretary of the asso
ciation, •said yesterday. Whilehe did not reveal 'the ' number , of
applications received) from graduating seniors, he termed the first
three days of the drive "most satisfactory."
The drive opened Tuesday - and will continue until Tune 4,
Commencement
Each night this week 20 stu
dent leaders. under the direction
of Arthur Rosfeld, are 'visiting
fraternity houses , to give short
talks on why seniors should join
the Alumni , Association.
According to Lehman, the role
of an alumnus cannot be under
stood until after graduation. These
students, are trying to point out
how the Alumni Association helps
graduates keep in contact with
the College. As an example, he
said, the weekly "Football Let
ter," edited by Ridge Riley, asso
ciation executive secretary, gives
former athletes a behind-the
scenes picture• of each football
game.
Lehman also stressed that
membership in one of the 68 dis
trict Alumni clubs can help the
graduate' become acquainted in
his new community, by providing
both social . and business contacts.
For the duration of the mem
bership drive, gnEtduatirig seniors
can join the association for $2 for
one year instead of the regular
$3 rate. Seniors may mail their
applications to the Alumni - Asso
ciation or take them to the Alum
ni Office, 104 Old Main.
