FAIRLAND DOCTOR HAS
PERSONAL MEETING WITH
IKE AT CAPITAL
----------
Dr. R. M. Nigh of Fairland was among those who greeted GOP presidential nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower today as the candidate visited the Hoosier capital. An interview at noon between the doctor and Eisenhower was planned for a little reminiscing. Dr. Nigh was one of four soldiers who, on January 1, 1944, flew with Ike from the Mediterranean to "the states." The General had been called back to Washington for a secret conference with top officials on invasion preparations. Captain Nigh, a patient in the 24th General Hospital in Oran, Africa, was awaiting transportation back to the country by hospital ship. On December 31, 1943, the doctor of the ward approached him saying a telegram from "headquarters" had ordered him prepared for flight. He was flown from Oran to Maricach, French Morocco, with three other patients, another captain, a lieutenant and a sergeant. At two o'clock on New Year's morning, the four "were tagged like baggage" and strapped into beds aboard a four - motor C-54 transport. None had been informed that "top brass" was to board, and all strained at the straps to jump to attention when the general, his aid, and the general's Scottie dog stepped on. "He is a great humanitarian, and an honest, human American," Dr Nigh said. "He boarded the plane with a sack of apples, knowing that none of us had seen fresh fruit for months." After the initial introductions, Ike sat beside each man and visited, talked about their homes, his own mother back in Kansas, and with Dr. Nigh, chatted about Indiana. The plane landed in the Azores for refueling and breakfast. During flight from there to Bermuda the weather was rough and boredom was setting in. General Eisenhower and his aide suggested a game of bridge. "None of the four of us thought we were good enough to play, so we drew straws," the doctor said. "Not only did I draw a short one to play, I drew another short one and was his partner." In Bermuda, Ike treated the men to another first in months - hamburgers and milk. Twenty - one hours after taking off in Africa, the plane landed at the National Airport in Washington, DC. Before leaving the plane, Eisenhower pledged the men to secrecy concerning his US presence until it was officially announced that he was back in London.September 9, 1952
