United Pims Whits House, Writer
Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower will step from a
black limousine sometime around
6:30 p.m. (EST) Friday, cast an
appraising eye at the bayonetted
troops on guard duty, then stride
quickly up an Air Force ramp to
the entrance of his giant aircraft,
The Columbine III.
With a wave of his hat, he will
disappear behind a heavy door
bearing the presidential seal. Lt.
Col. William Draper, the Presi
dents pilot and Air Force aide,
will start the plane's red, white,
and blue propellers.
And within minutes, the pow
erful engines of the Super-Con
stellation will send her roaring
down the runway and into the
air toward Geneva and the Big
Four conference.
' Mr. Eisenhower, most airmind
ed of America's presidents, has
flown about 75,000 miles since
taking office. By the time he
wings over the Atlantic to Eu
rope and returns to Washington
later this month he will have
added another 6000 miles to his
flight record. .
The flight to Geneva, exclud
ing the time required for at least
one fueling stop on the way, will
take about 15V flying hours.
His longest air trip was in 1952
shortly before his Inauguration
when he flew to Korea.
When Mr. Elsenhower boards
the huge White House plane for
a long trip, here is what the
journey is like inside the ship:
The President goes first to his
own cabin, which he will share
with Mrs. Eisenhower on this
trip. There he shucks his coat,
arid hands it to a flight steward.
He may slip on a sweater. Then
he fastens the sett belt attached
to a' comfortable club chair and
awaits the takeoff.
Once under way and in level
flight, the President will chat
with the first lady and then may
to a small desk by his
cabin window and work on of
ficial papers and correspondence
brought along by his personal
secretary, Mrs. Ann Whitman.
There is not much to look at
on an overseas flight moon
light or daylight and the Presi
dent spends little time gazing
out of the window even over
land unless there is attractive
scenery below. Once he tires of
working, he likes to walk
through the plane, stopping to
say hello to everyone aboard.
When guests or non-staff trav
elers are on the ship, he spends
a few minutes chatting with
each. He also visits the flight
bridge where Draper . presides
over a highly trained crew.
Depending on the pressure of
business, there may be a steady
flow of important messages to
and from the plane as it cruises
along at altitudes of from 15,000
to more than 20,000 feet. The
plane carries a radio teletype
which can send ' and receive
through Army network relay
systems to and from almost any
point in the worlds
If a cabinet member back in
Washington has an urgent mes
sage for the President while Mr.
Eisenhower is aloft, he calls
Sherman Adams, the assistant to
the President, or some other key
White House official and asks
that the information be relayed.
If the message is of a confi
dential or security nature, it is
dispatched in code via radio tele
type. The President may be
reached by radio telephone, but
these conversations cannot be
shielded from other listeners on
the same, frequency. This pre
cludes transmitting security in
formation 'by voice.
The Columbine also carries ra
dio wireless facilities for the
President. This type of sending
and receiving equipment is not
subject to atmospheric interfer
ence as much as the radio tele
type and telephone. The teletype
chatters, away much of the time
when the plane is in flight, trans-,
mitting messages for members
of .the' traveling staff and fre
quently sending ahead instruc
tions to White House represent
atives where the plane will land.
The teletype is tested at least
once an hour .to be sure lt is
working efficiently.
The presidential menu de
pends largely on the duration
of the trip. For the long haul to
Geneva, Draper will contract
with a commerical airline kit
chen before departure to put
aboard at least one hot meal
for all members of the party.
The President's favorite flying
food is steak and potatoes. Air
lines can supply this.
The plane also carries a siz
able, galley, complete with a
three-burner electric stove, an
oven, toaster, grill, refrigerator,
and two hot water heaters for
making coffee, tea, and cocoa.
The galley is used primarily
for preparing snacks. On most
occasions the only meal prepared
aboard in its entirety is break
fast which runs from orange
juice to ham and eggs.
-Sandwiches, platters of fresh
fruit, and triangles of cheese are
carried on most flights for be-
tween-meals snacks. Mr. Eisen
hower likes to nibble on cheese
while reading.
After dinner, the President
may try to organize a bridge
game in his cabin. When players
are scarce he turns instead to
his favorite western magazines
which the staff has learned to
have aboard on all trips.
On an overnight flight, the
President likes to turn in early,
He sleeps fairly well on a plane,
but not as soundly as he would
on the ground. His cabin has
two daybeds or couches which
make up into beds at night.
The staff or guest section of
the plane can be converted
quickly into eight Pullman-type
berths, four uppers and four
lowers. There . also are four
bunks forward of the galley for
the crew and secret service
agents in Mr. Eisenhower's im
mediate party, plus some seats
which do not convert into bunks
in the staff's lounge section of
the ship.
Following long custom, Mr,
Eisenhower likes to be first off
the ship when it lands, making
exception for the two air po
lice who usually speed -down the
ramp to take guard duty posi
tions before Mr. Eisenhower
emerges. When he takes off he
usually is the last man up the

The ship carries a self-contained,
automatic ramp forward
of the wings on the port side.
This is used by secret service
men and staff members who
leave the ship unobtrusively
while the President is being ac
corded welcome honors.
The President is a confirmed
air traveler at home as well
as abroad. Much to the sorrow
of the railroads, he almost never
goes anywhere by train. The
only other means of transport
ation used frequently by Mr. Eis
enhower is the automobile. He
has traveled in the neighborhood
of 5,000 miles by auto since his
inauguration.
