...this documentary film of General Dwight Eisenhower's best-selling book, Crusade in Europe, at the request of 20th Century-Fox, which had bought the television rights from the publishers, Doubleday & Co.

He had been Al Malaikah Temple's Potentate. For the past seven years he had worked among the Shrine's crippled children's hospitals, had been a director and trustee of that program, which is a substantial and sober part of Shrine activities. It maintains 16 hospitals, annually raises millions of dollars through its circuses, East-West football game, annual dues and local contributions...
