...Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington looked down upon 52 members of the Eisenhower family, ten Nixons and a handful of old friends and servants gathered in the East Room of the White House. It was a quiet, midmorning group, and yet the occasion was both formal and historic: since their terms legally expired on Sunday (and by tradition the public ceremony could not be held until Monday -see below), Dwight David Eisenhower and Richard Milhous Nixon were about to take the oath of office in private ceremony, i.e., unwatched by public or press...
...Family Circle. At 10:25 the guests hushed as Ike and Mamie, just back from morning service at the National Presbyterian Church, slipped into the East Room and took their places beside Dick and Pat Nixon. Ike and Dick both wore short morning coats and striped trousers; Mamie wore a black taffeta dress, and Pat a two-piece green wool suit. At 10:26 a nonfamily guest, California's Senator Bill Knowland, stepped forward and administered the vice-presidential oath to Dick Nixon, who swore fealty to the Constitution with his hand resting upon a Bible that had been...

When the closed-door sessions broke up, the leaders called on President Eisenhower to come South "immediately" and make "a major speech in a major Southern city urging all Southerners to abide by the Supreme Court's decision." They also urged Vice President Nixon to make a tour of the South "similar to the one made in behalf of the Hungarian refugees," and asked Attorney General Herbert Brownell for an interview "at the earliest possible date" to discuss possible Justice Department action to stem the violence...
...pages. At speech's end the word buzzed through the assembly chamber: Bill Knowland has announced that he will not run for re-election to the Senate in 1958 (TIME, Jan. 14). In California, where the body politic revolves around the uncomfortable triumvirate of Knight, Vice President Richard Nixon and Senate Minority Leader William Fife Knowland, gossips thought they saw what lay in Knowland's mind: return to California, wrest the governorship from Goodie Knight in 1958, battle Dick Nixon for the GOPresidential nomination...
