Ike Wears That Homburg -- Here's President-Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower with a homburg Jauntily perched on his head as he leaves a dinner here tonight. Ike will wear a homburg at his inauguration instead of the traditional silk high hat. Completing the style he has set for his inauguration, Ike wears a Chesterfield over coast and a white scarf. Occasion for the preview of the inaugural style was a dinner in honor of Young Berryman Smith, resigned dean of the Columbia University law faculty, at the Astor Hotel. January 16, 1953.
