Newport, R. I. (UPt - It's

The Job would be a lot more

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.
Has Work to Do
Ike has work to do, even
on vacation, and like all pres
idents he finds he can t just
drift around the waterfront
with the other sightseers, laze
along admiring historic colo
nial buildings, or drop in un
announced on the local art
center.
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. It's worth seeing
even if he doesn't have time
to take out a card.
