"thousand-yard stare"

[Joel S. Berson]

Should the OED add "thousand-yard stare"?  Wikipedia's article of
that name dates it to the title of a Life Magazine painting in 1944
(although that used "2,000").  Google Books gives about 57 results
before 1951, all snippets, and some journals and so needing verification.
