Traveling Man

From time to time, the President of the United States must travel around the country (and sometimes to foreign lands). Last week President Eisenhower announced one of the most intensive tours since he assumed office. First stop this week: West Point, where Ike is main commencement speaker and ranking graduate in the 40th reunion of his Class of 1915. Graduation will continue to preoccupy him at his next engagement, at brother Milton Eisenhower's Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. After a few days Ike will be off again, with 15,000 other evacuees, to a secret destination, in the big three-day civil defense test in Washington. Then he will emplane for San Francisco, to speak at the U.N.'s tenth anniversary ceremonies, and fly right back for a five-day speaking tour of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.* In all, Ike will be on the road for 15 of June's 30 days.

*The New England tour will bring the total of states visited by Ike as President and presidential nominee to 47. The one unvisited state: Mississippi.
