APRIL 13-16, 1952
EISENHOWER’S RESIGNATION: London, 10 – It was officially announced this evening that General Eisenhower will resign from his post as of June 1. Although expected, the news was received with great concern in Western countries. The general, whose name is linked with the liberation of Western Europe and the victory in World War II, was a leader who, in spite of political and economic difficulties, managed to provide the free nations of the West with the first defense force capable of resisting a possible attack from the East. The general feeling of sadness is moderated by the thought that, if he is fortunate, he will perhaps be able to continue his work for free peoples even more effectively from the White House. RADIO: New York, 11 – Mr William Richardson, Athens correspondent for the New York Post, reports that Greeks are not listening to the Voice of America because there are not enough radios to go around. Most are concentrated in Athens and Thessaloniki, where there is a ratio of one per seven inhabitants, compared to one for every 1,000 in the countryside.
