"Ike" Arrives at Columbia (Universal Newsreel, May 1948)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. MAY DAY CELEBRATED: Here and abroad, May Day is marked by mass parades, although New York's "Loyalty Parade" overshadows the march of communists and Red sympathizers. In Norway, Denmark, and in Japan, anti-Reds stage own demonstrations to counteract rallies by leftists. In New York, veterans swell the ranks of marchers in impressive demonstration of patriotism. 2. "IKE" ARRIVES AT COLUMBIA: NEW YORK - Making his departure from Army life, General Eisenhower arrives to take over as president of Columbia University. Mrs. Eisenhower makes trip with "Ike," after gala military send-off at Fort Myers, Va. He reiterates his stand on a possible nomination, and also says he doesn't believe war is inevitable. 3. "CITATION" WINS THE DERBY: LOUISVILLE - The 74th running of the Kentucky Derby draws 100,000 racing fans to Churchill Downs. The turf classic of the year! It's a small field, only six entries, but a big thrill when the favored Citation goes ahead in the stretch to win by 3½ lengths. Coaltown is second and My Request third.
