Backstairs: Ike Can't Play Tourist While on Vacation Br FRANK ElEAZER Unitad Press International Newport, R. I. (UPt - It's great to be president, appar ently, judging by the number of people who are always ap plying for the Job, and one of the nice fringe benefits is that you can take your vacation Just about anywhere you want. You get there by Jet plane in an hour with never a worry about reservations, roadside dinners, dirty rest rooms, bag. gage, or tips for the bellboy. The Job would be a lot more attractive, however, if, hav ing arrived at your chosen resort, you then could enjoy the local attractions, with the other tourists. President Eisenhower after more than two weeks here- and he left Tuesday for a side trip to Chicago and Denver - hadn't had a chance to see anything much at this rich man's island resort but the local golf club, his Fort Adams quarters, and his nav al base office.

The Art association off Newport even went so far as to make Ike a member in an effort to entice him to the gallery, currently featuring a collection of Rene Bouche portraits of prominent people including Jackie Kennedy, the beautiful wife of Sen. John F. Kennedy, one of those currently itching to succeed Ike in the White House. The "oldest library in the United States." founded in 1730 and in its present classic white quarters since 1748, also stands available to the president and hopeful he may yet drop by.
