Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, JUNE ?.3. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE FIVE Eisenhower Has Gone Places This Year To Tune Of 40,000 Miles cials insist. It's just that the Pres ident is always in too much of a hurry to get where he's going, they say. By DOUGLAS LARSEN KEA Staff Correspondent WASWivnTnv IVC-A1 11. J has really gone places this year. If he keeps moving at the same , rate for the rest of the year he could set a new travel record for himself. Including extensive traveling planned for June, the first six months of 1958 will probably find him loggin? close to 20.000 miles. 'Another 20.000 miles during the second half of the year will have him surpassing his 1953 rec ord of 37.000. His third most traveled year was 1956, when campaigning pushed the total to 36.000 miles. Since becoming President he has traveled more than 180.000 miles. A fleet of Army and Marine hel icopters, a garage full of racy limousines, several fast twin-en-tiine executive aircraft and a plush tour-engine transcontinental Con stellation, all available to him on quick notice, make it possible for him to get around the way he does. Most of this recent' presidential traveling is the result of his doc tor's orders to get away from his Washington desk as much as pos sible. Every trip to play goK in Augusta. Georgia, is about a 1.000- mile junket. When Ike delivered Mamie to Phoenix, Arizona, this winter for a rest at the Maine Chance Farm, the total distance traveled was 4,500 miles. When the three jet transports which the White House has or dered are delivered there's no telling what travel records he'll break. The Budget Bureau ex plained to Congress that the new aircraft would help the U.S. match the prestige of Russian leaders who fly around in jets. Total cost of the new U.S. jets will be 15,-000,000. A spokesman in Congress sug gests that Ike could do the Rus sians one better in modern travel by showing up at any summit meeting in an atomic sub, which the Russians don't seem to have as yet. Another breakdown of Ike's trav eling reveals that since taking of fice he has flown 163,000 miles, gone 11.000 miles by motor car. 4.000 miles by tram and 2.000 miles by water. Soon alter moving into the White House. Ike, the ex-Army general, decided to sample some Navy type transportation. He took a 375-mile cruise in the presiden tial yacht Williamsburg. This ap parently was enough of the water for him. The Williamsburg was quickly put out of commission, 4 -'m, m - : 11 r for economy reasons." the White House announced. Ike did not trav el on water again until 1957. when he sailed to Bermuda. Air travel figures include his he licopter time. Last year the While House bought two small whirly birds for about $200.000 as a quick means of getting to the air port trom the hxecutive Mansion. On July it. for a civilian defense exercise, Ike had a two-hour ride in one. That was the end of small heli copters for While House use. Thcv were turned over to the Air Force and the Army and Marines were asked to have several larger types available to the President after that. During his vacation in New port, Rhode Island, last September. he had four rides in large Marine Helicopters to and from the Quon set Naval base, an island. Last November 8 he user! n large Marine helicopter to get from the White House to German- town, Maryland, for the dedication of the new Atomic Energy Com mission headquarters. On January 29 this year he used the same whuiybird to get to the airport, a five minute hop. and the only time he has used one for the originally stated purpose. On May 20 he used a large Army helicopter for a trip to Get tysburg, where he voted in the Pennsylvania primaries. On May 23 he used a large Marine heli copter for a trip to the farm at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg helicopter hop takes about an hour, just half the driving time. Ike appears to like the saving in time and doesn t object too much to the vibration of the whirlybird ride. So it's ex pected that he'll use this form of transportation to his farm more often in the future. Mamie does not like the long helicopter ride, however, and goes to the farm by car. Only in 1953 and 1956 did Ike use railroads for transportation. it s not that he doesn t like trains. White House transportation off i- OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. Hrl. J. E.

(API - War hero Jimmy Doolittle and an 18-year aviation enthusiast liter ally opened a door on the jet age of travel Sunday. Together Doolittle and Jay War ren Hamilton, of Wenatchee, Wash., pulled a switch that opened the door of a propjet F27 airplane. before 25,000 spectators at the dedication of the first American- built jet transport to be delivered to an air line. Then Richard S. Boutelle. pres ident of the Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corp., formally turned the airplane over to Nick Bez of Seattle, president of West Coast Airlines, the first purchaser of the t27. The craft took off with some 40 government officials, and air line executives for Washington, covering the 72-mile distance in about 10 minutes, less than half the time required on normal air line schedules. Doolittle, chairman of the Na tional Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and vice president of Shell Oil Co., said in a dedication address that the F27 was a sig nificant contribution to aviation as the first new plane built for local service operations since the DC3 was introduced about a quar ter of a century ago.
