Same as Catalog # 513619. News in Brief: Ike Keeps Busy. "Ike boots the cancer crusade, welcoming 6-year old Joyce Dezeller, herself a cancer victim, to start the national campaign for cancer research funds. Also at the White House, Ike plays host to members to the National Press Photographers, posing for snapshots by the score." President Dwight Eisenhower meets with a little girl named Joyce who had cancer at a young age. Joyce is dressed like a Native American woman. She presents a "sword" to the President. Outside at the White House, national press photographers (who are holding their convention) snap away at Ike. A couple of kids are there taking photographs, too.
