he Most Admired

Carrying on a year-end custom established in 1946, Pollster George Gallup last week sent his interviewers out to ask a cross section of the U.S. public: "What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire the most?" The most admired, by a wide margin: Dwight D. Eisenhower. Winner Eisenhower (who also was top man in 1952) had as many votes as the combined total of the next two men on the list--Sir Winston Churchill and General Douglas MacArthur. Other high-ranking also-rans: Harry S. Truman, Adlai E. Stevenson, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Elder Statesman Bernard Baruch, Pope Pius XII and former President Herbert Hoover. A newcomer among the top ten: Wisconsin's U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, who ranked seventh.
