TZ MAIL TRIBUNE, Ueifori. Qrtgen, ManJiy, My 2, 19SI Backstairs: President Uses Four Planes By DAYTON MOORE Washington (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower plans to be using four kinds of air trans portation regularly by early next year. Helicopters and a specially- equipped, light, . two-passeng er plane will be usd for trips up to about 100 miles. It will be the piston-engine Colum bine II for medium- range trips in this country. A Boe ing 707 jet airliner will carry him on transcontinental and transocean flights. Novak Says She Didn't Sell Car Hollywood (UPI) Actress Kim Novak's studio denied through a publicity man early today that the blonde film star had sold her foreign sports car given to her by free-spend ing Lt. Gen. Rafael Trujillo Asked if it were true that Miss Novak had sold the $8,500 car given to her by the 29-year-old Dominican Repub lie soldier-playboy, Al Hor witz, head of publicity at Co lumbia, said, flatly, "that isn't So." Horowitz statement came after reports that Kim had sold Trujillo's gift and made a down payment with the money on a $100,000 Bel-Air home. "I don't know anything about that story," Horowitz said. The publicist said the man sion Miss Novak now occupies was provided for her through Columbia. The actress reported Satur day she had given the car back to Trujillo, now attend ing the U. S. Army's command and general staff school at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan. The Dominican playboy left here last week after proclaim ing his love for Kim on a tele vision show. He indicated he would pursue the romance after finishing school in Kansas. Vancouver Boy Dies In Silo on Farm Vancouver, Wash. (UPI) Delbert Allen Walker, 8, Van couver, died early Sunday, apparently the victim of as phyxiation in a silo on his parents' farm. The Clark county coroner's office said gasses from freshly stored green alfalfa apparent ly suffocated the boy, who had gone to a barn to feed calves. A brother found Del bert's body about an hour later. A White House aide said the helicopter flights to Get tysburg, Pa., last week mark ed the start of the President's regular use of whirlybirds for short trips. Indications are that the President will use helicopters frequently on fair ly regular week end trips at his farm this summer. Weather permitting, the President plans to give Brit ish Prime Minister Harold Macmillan a helicopter ride to Baltimore June 10 when they attend graduation cere monies at Johns Hopkins uni versity. The President prob ably will fly by helicopter also when he goes to Annap olis, Md., June 4 to deliver the commencement address at the U. S. Naval Academy. An aide gave three reasons for the President's increased use of helicopters: Conven ience, speed, and elimination of auto traffic hazards. The office door and, in about 23 strides, he is in a whirlybird for a takeoff from the south lawn of the White House. He lands right at his destination his farm, a university cam pus, or anywhere that a small plot of open land is available. He can get from the White House to his farm in consid erably less than half the two hours required by limousine. The helicopter flight to Bal timore will be an estimated 20 minutes, as against 90 min utes driving time in a motor cade over the heavily-travel ed highway. The President's prospects for getting his wife Mamie to accompany him on a helicop ter flight appear to be dim. She doesn't like to fly even in the more comfortable, plush Columbine III. And she probably will continue to use a limousine on her trips to Gettysburg, as she did last Friday. Aides said the President was impressed by the advan tage of helicopters for short trips durings his vacation in Newport, R J., last fall. It was about 35 minutes by car from the Quonset Point Naval Air Station to his vacation head quarters at the Newport nav al base but it was only five minutes by helicopter. The President and his official vis itors saved time by helicopter commuting. Most of the President's whirly-bird flights will be in one of four 12-passenger Si korsky helicopters in the White House emergency pool based only five minutes away. Two belong to the Army and two to the Marine Corps. The choppers are assigned to the Juggling your protection can cost you plenty!

The Sikorsky has a top speed of 130 miles per hour. Its cruising speed is 88 miles per hour. It usually flies at an altitude between 1,000 and 1.500 feet. The helicop ters cost about $380,000 each.

(UPI) Investigators sought today to find out why a $2, 225,000 radar reconnaissance plane exploded without warn ing after 100,000 miles of safe flight. Sabotage was consid ered a possibility. Twelve airmen inside the RC121 Super Constellation escaped from the plane though it nearly was demol ished in five minutes of ex plosions and fire late Sunday. The cause of the blasts were listed as "undetermined." Morse Urges Look At French Policy Washington (UPI) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) urged Sunday that the United States "take a long, hard look" at U. S. French relations be cause of what he called "to talitarian trends' in France. He also criticized U. S. re lationships with Latin Ameri can dictatorships and said this country must make a "better case against totalitarianism if it wants to win the cold war." Morse is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee and chairman of its subcommittee on Latin Amer- on the NBC television pro gram, "Youth Wants to Know." He said that if totalitarian forces come out on top in the current French struggle for power, he would be opposed to putting "a supply of atomic weapons in the hands of a dictator." Asked whether he consid ered Gen. Charles De Gaulle a totalitarian, Morse said he did. He said De Gaule "sup ports one-man rule." Morse said the anti-American demonstrations against ica.
