"Ike" Wears An Elephant -- Following presentation ceremonies tonight, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower exhibits an elephant - but it had nothing to do with the Republican party. It came in the form of Denmark's highest decoration, the Order of Knight of the Elephant, awarded to the U.S. Chief of Staff at a Danish Embassy Dinner. Embassy officials said the diamond encrusted medal, one of the oldest decorations in the world, is awarded only to princes of blood. October 29, 1947. (Photo by Associated Press Wirephoto).
