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,

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.
