President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the podium, addressing the crowd at the College of Puget Sound (UPS) Fieldhouse. Eisenhower was on an ambitious 5-day air campaign swing through the west. His visit to Tacoma was sandwiched between speeches in Seattle and Portland. While in Tacoma, he stayed overnight with his elder brother Edgar at his American Lake home and made a 12 mile journey by motorcade from Edgar's home to CPS and then to McChord Air Force Base. Cheering school children stood in the rain to catch a glimpse of their President. Series ordered by International News Photo. ALBUM 1.
