...Pilot William Draper was unwilling to continue in the face of turbulent weather and poor visibility. At 8:48 a.m.. the Columbine landed at Hartford's Bradley Field. At the airport were six governors, with a swarm of Government and Red Cross officials. In a nearby hangar, Ike listened while each governor in turn outlined the damage to his state. After the hour-long conference, the President promised that the Government would do everything possible, and appealed to the public for aid. "This is a chance where each of us can rise to an emergency," he said...

Among the new school items: a table in the mess hall is a ramp; the kitchen is the hangar.

...chartered, twin-engined plane circled the golf courses around Davenport, Iowa one bright morning last week, then landed at the city's new airport. Above a nearby hangar streamed a banner proclaiming: "Congratulations, we're proud of you, Jack." Below the banner hung a 20-ft. cardboard putter. Out stepped a lanky, lean, tired man in blue slacks and white sweater. A thousand welcomers cheered. Unashamedly, the weary man wept. Jack Fleck, 32, a week after leaving Davenport as one of the nation's most obscure golf pros, was home as the city...
