I looked this up and the only thing Eisenhower did with the flag is set the design in 1959. The flag act in 1942 gave guidance on how to fly the flag, but it made it voluntary for those flying the flag. I found nothing specifically mentioning half staff flying of the flag.

Nothing makes it official, but something everyone has adapted as a response to an event.
