...President winging out from Washington on a five-day hedgehop that carried the Columbine into five states and logged for Ike another 5,850 campaign miles. In Minnesota, where 500,000 jammed his path during a 33-mile tour of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the President extended coattails to Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Ancher Nelsen. Droning westward to the coast, he boosted Washington's Art Langlie and Oregon's Doug McKay, both hand-picked to run for the Senate, both lagging before Ike appeared on the horizon.

In Georgia's Fifth District, Atlanta Lawyer Randolph William Thrower, 43, former filling-station attendant, FBI agent and Marine captain, is close on the heels of arch-segregationist Representative James C. Davis, 61, who was Georgia's presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention, and has since held carefully stacked House subcommittee hearings on integration in the District of Columbia's schools (TIME, Oct.1). In Kentucky's Sixth District, Fayette County's Republican Sheriff Wallace ("Wah Wah") Jones...
