14013045914/01/1953. <blockquote><p>“Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our follow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help.â€</p></blockquote><p>The 1952 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday November 4 1952. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower won a landslide victory over Illinois Democratic Governor Adlai Stevenson becoming the first Republican president in 20 years. This was the first election since 1928 without an incumbent president on the ballot. Eisenhower was re-elected in 1956 in a rematch with Stevenson.</p><p>The 1952 presidential election campaign was conducted against the backdrop of a “red scare†in which many Americans feared that foreign communist agents were attempting to infiltrate the government. Two years earlier Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy who held that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations amounted to “20 years of treason†claimed that he had a list of State Department employees who were loyal only to the Soviet Union. Though McCarthy offered no evidence to support his charges and revealed only a single name he won a large personal following. The Red Scare the stalemated Korean War and a renewal of inflation handicapped Stevenson who fought a vigorous campaign.</p><p>Eisenhower campaigned tirelessly impressing millions with his warmth and sincerity. His wide friendly grin wartime heroics and middle-class pastimes—he was an avid golfer endeared him to the public and garnered him vast support. On the eve of the election there was a general opinion that the presidential race was close. The final tally however was anything but. Eisenhower won by more than six million votes capturing 39 states and 442 electoral votes to Stevenson’s 9 states and 89 electoral votes. The election was considered a great personal triumph for Eisenhower.</p><p>In the wake of the election Eisenhower thanked his major contributors for their financial support which had enabled him to bring his message to the American people.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his letterhead New York January 14 1953 to Hugh Moore president of the Dixie Cup Company and a supporter of his. <em>“Dear Mr. Moore: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the campaign I wish to add my own.</em></p><p><em>“Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help. That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and to ask for your continued support.â€</em></p><p>It is interesting that Eisenhower saw his election as a crusade and his views as carrying a message.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

16012121416/01/1961. <blockquote><p>Ike wrote that asked “for help in dealing with this crisis your company at once furnished…the same team - Mr. Leo C. Beebe and Mr. Charles A. Pink - who did so much to make a success of our work…for the Hungarian refugees four years ago.â€</p></blockquote><p>In the wake of the Cuban Revolution in 1959 a Cuban exodus began as the new government allied itself with the Soviet Union and began to introduce communism. Tens of thousands of Cubans left Cuba starting in late 1959 and picking up in 1960 and the United States became the country of first asylum as the Cuban refugees sought and found political refuge here. For the first time the United States Government found it necessary to develop a program to help refugees from another nation in this hemisphere.</p><p>In the forefront of this effort was President Dwight D. Eisenhower who was in the waning days of his administration. In November 1960 Eisenhower directed Tracy S. Voorhees a former Undersecretary of the Army to act as the President's Personal Representative for Cuban Refugees to look into the Cuban refugee situation. To do this and deal with the broader challenges the refugees presented Voorhees reached out for assistance to Henry Ford II of the Ford Motor Company who had been of great help on a similar occasion in the past. In 1956 Ford lent one of his senior executives Leo Beebe to the U.S. government to supervise the resettlement in the U.S. of refugees fleeing Hungary after the failure of the revolution there. Beebe became executive vice chairman of Eisenhower’s Committee for Hungarian Refugees. In addition to his committee work during 1956-1957 while working out of Camp Kilmer in northern New Jersey Beebe and his aide Charles A. Pink a Ford staff member oversaw the relocation and resettlement of 35000 Hungarian refugees in the United States eventually finding them permanent residences in this country.</p><p>In 1960 Ford came through again and provided the services of the experienced Beebe and Pink for the Cuban refugee effort. The Cuban Refugee Emergency Center was established in Miami and became the focal point of refugee registration assistance relief and resettlement as well as coordination of government and independent agencies’ programs. Federal funding provided for the center’s operations record keeping publications coordination of agencies and research on different aspects of the refugee situation as well as for programs. The latter included financial assistance educational loans health care adult education and re-training resettlement and care of unaccompanied children.</p><p>To understand the scope of the effort in the first two years after the Cuban Revolution over 50000 Cubans fled and established new homes in the United States.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on White House letterhead Washington January 16 1961 to Henry Ford II thanking him for again lending a much-needed hand in this critical venture. This letter was written a mere four days before Ike left office and was succeeded by John F. Kennedy. <em>“Tracy Voorhees my representative for the Cuban refugee problem has told me that in response to his request to the Ford Motor Company for help in dealing with this crisis your company at once furnished to him the same team - Mr. Leo C. Beebe and Mr. Charles A. Pink - who did so much to make a success of our work at Camp Kilmer for the Hungarian refugees four years ago.</em></p><p><em>“With their unique experience gained at Kilmer these men have been largely responsible for setting up our Cuban Refugee Emergency Center in Miami and making its work a success. May I express to you and to the Ford Motor Company my</em><br /><em>sincere appreciation of your again answering our call for helpâ€</em></p><p>This letter remained in the Ford family until recently and it has never before been offered for sale.</p> unknown
