Gen. Eisenhower wins Freedom House award
NEW YORK (AP) – Freedom House announced yesterday its annual Freedom award had been voted unanimously to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The organization, devoted to promotion of world liberty, said the award would be presented at its fourth anniversary dinner here October 7 and that Gen. Eisenhower would accept it via overseas broadcast.
Freedom House described the award, a bronze plaque, as “an expression of our admiration for a citizen of America and the world who has earned an enduring place in our hearts as a truly great soldier of peace.”
Former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles, winner of last year’s award, will make the presentation speech.
