Eisenhower'sSonQuitsArmy; May Assist Ex-President
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Lt.
Col. John S. D. Eisenhower, son of the former president, has submitted his resignation from the U.S. Army after 19 years of military service.
An army spokesman said today the resignation was submitted last week at Carlisle Barracks, Fa., where young Eisenhower had been expected to begin studies next August at the Army War College.
Eisenhower, born Aug. 3. 1922, in Denver, Colo., was graduated from the military academy at West Point in 1944.
The younger Eisenhower, now 40 years old, has been on extended leave from the Army since April, 1961, to assist his father in compiling his official papers.
THE SPOKESMAN said Eisenhower will receive no separation pay or pension rights. The minimum period of service to qualify for a military pension is 20 years.
He served as a secretary to the general staff of Supreme Headquarters when his father commanded the D-Day invasion of Europe in World War II. Later, he was first operations chief and then chief of
intelligence for the 3rd Infantry Division in Korea.
HE WAS AWARDED the Legion of Merit for his service as an assistant to his father in the White House. He also wears the Combat Infantry Badge and other decorations.
The Pentagon spokesman said he did not know the reason for Eisenhower's action. But it was presumed he wishes to continue the work with his father.
His appointment to the War College last winter was considered a "plum" which would attract him back into active service.

BLACKBURN, England — (UPi)

Hindle said the mare, Sundowner,
was at least 10 years older than
Corta said, had a bent leg, couldn't
jump a fence, was frightened of
traffic, and was not, as advertised,
"one of the finest horses in England."
