Ike Returns: President Welcomes General at Capital. Ranking army brass and dignitaries turn out to welcome General Eisenhower as he returns from his NATO command. President Truman joins the greeters as the general and Mrs. Eisenhower pay a visit to the White House. At the airport, Ike & Mamie Eisenhower descend airplane steps, shake hands in receiving line; General Dwight Eisenhower kisses his mother-in-law, Mrs. Doud. Limousine pulls up and Ike gets out, smiling. A group of press photographers take aim with their still cameras. President Harry Truman shakes hands with Ike (outdoors at White House). Then the two of them pose with General Omar Bradley, Defense Secretary Robert Lovett, and Army Secretary Frank Pace, Jr.
