Backstairs: Denver, Once Spot, Now Frustrates Him Ike's Favorite Vacation By FRANK ELEAZER Uniltd Press International Denver -IUPII- This used to be one of President Elsenhow er's favorite vacation spots. Now he finds it sort of frus trating. The one thing he simply hadn't been able to find around here is a sea-level golf course. It wax here, at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elive ra Doud, on Lafayette st., that Ike suffered a serious heart attack in 1095. Since then, he comes to the mile-high city only on short visits. One reason is that his doctor, Howard Snyder, takes a cautious approach to exer cise at high altitude by the country's number one former heart patient. Ike's favorite sport Is golf. He has been playing daily at Newport, R. I., where he and Mamie have been vacationing for the past couple of weeks. He also likes to fish. Doc Snyder for a year or so after Ike's recovery didn't want him to come back to Denver at all. Later he cased the ban provided the Presi dent agreed not to attempt any strenuous sport. That has tended to rule out most of Ike's vacation fun. Cherry Hills Country club, his favorite course here, is a hilly layout that he usually played by electric cart even before he had his attack. His favorite fishing spot is at Frascr, Colo., which is some 4,000 feet higher than Den ver. Oh well, Doc Snyder has nothing at all against bridge, at any altitude. The President and Mamie used to stay while here in the house with Mrs. Doud. Now she is seriously ill - that's why they are back-and they stay at the Brown Palace hotel. This is a big-orantc, opulent establishment reminiscent of the old West at its finest. If Ike and Mamie can be said to lack for any attention here it probably is the salutes and parades and retreats and flag raising. And other such mili tary manifestations that have punctuated their stay at New port. At the Naval base there, where Eisenhower has been attending to White House chores, they don't Just hoist the flag in the morning. They turn out the band, march it over the hill past Ike's office, and stand the whole place at attention during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner. The other morning the bandsmen figured to liven things up. They paraded past the summer White House with a presentably hot rendition of "When The Saints Go March ing In." Nobody had told them, ap parently, that Ike can't do much for jazz. He's more the Lawrence Welk type. Once-Famous 'Checkers' Now Just Forgotten Dog By RONALD H.

The GOP was jolt ed by the disclosure that Nix on had accepted $18,235 from a group of California sup porters to help pay his po litical expenses as a senator. Went Before Nation Many Republicans, afraid that the episode would cost the GOP the election, demand ed that Nixon be dropped from the ticket. Nixon broke off his cam paigning In Portland, Ore., and flew to Los Angeles to defend his acceptance of the money In a nationwide radio TV broadcast. At 9:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 23, he went on the air. Speak ing with great emotion, he de tailed his personal finances and said none of the expense fund went for his personal use. . About halfway through the SO-minute program, Nixon glanced down at his hand written notes on a yellow foolscap, then looked into the camera and said: "One other thing I prob ably should tell you, because if I don't they'll (the Demo crats) probably be saying this about me, too. We did get something -a gift -after the election. "A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio men tion the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog. And believe it or not before we left on this trip we got a mesage from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was. Many Viewers Wept "It as a little Cocker Span iel dog in a crate that he sent all the way from Texas. Black and white spotted. And our little girl-Tricia, the 6-year-old-named it Checkers. And you know the kids love that dog and I just want to say this right now, that regard less of what they say about it, we're going to keep it." Democrats denounced the speech as a "soap opera." Re publicans hailed it as a mas terpiece. Many viewers were reported to have wept. Thousands of telegrams and letters of support flooded GOP headquarters. Nixon stayed on the ticket, which won and was re-elected in 1956. Checkers was left out of this week's Chicago festivities and now has to share the Nixon's affection with an other pel, a cat. But he's won his place in American political history be cause that TV program Is best remembered as the "Check ers" speech.
