...about to be flashed, through the facilities of the four major networks, to TV screens across the nation. The glare of twelve big lights, ranging from 750-watt "spots" to 1,000-watt "broads," beat brightly down on President Eisenhower, sitting behind a small desk, with his face and bald head aglow with pancake makeup. His big "cue cards," which had been brought in only after news photographers had been shooed out of the room, were ready before him. On his right sat Attorney General Herbert Brownell, on his left, Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson, Treasury Secretary George Humphrey and Welfare...

His "I like everybody" philosophy was tested in 1950 when New York's Senator Herbert Lehman., campaigning for reelection, bitterly attacked him. Hall, who was running for re-election to the House, made no reply. A week later Lehman apologized, said he really meant New York's Representative Edwin A. Hall (Binghamton).
