President George Washington wasted eight days coaching over nearly impassable roads from his home in Mount Vernon to the capital at Philadelphia, but 33rd President Eisenhower hardly changed his office routine, indeed barely got time to lean back and peel an orange, as he went about the Eastern Seaboard on air-age conveyances. Only a few days after he okayed purchase of three Boeing jet 707s for future Administration use on long trips, he pushed the sophisticated reciprocating engine up another notch in utility to Presidents. The helicopter, he proved last week, can be more than his traffic-jumping airport...
...newcomers to flying seem to learn from the experience of others. Ireland, whose sole major airport (Shannon) is served by no fewer than twelve airlines, recently succumbed to the temptation of a transatlantic line even though it could only afford to lease three Super Constellations (and crews) from Seaboard & Western. Austria recently flew into the big time with a line prepared to go anywhere except where it is needed. Using four chartered Viscounts, Austrian Airlines will soon be serving such major-and well-served-cities as London, Zurich, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome and Warsaw. Yet the line has no service...
...already ten times the size of Germany's wolf pack at the outbreak of World War II. Very soon, new Soviet boats will have missile capacity; Central Intelligence Agency Chief Allen Dulles estimates that ten missile-carrying subs could destroy 1,600 sq. mi. of the U.S. seaboard's industrial complex unless anti-submarine defenses stop them. Admiral Thach's job: to renovate an antisub screen that has become rusty with inadequate equipment, antiquated tactics and too much Navy attention to supercarriers...
...United Lutheran Church crosses are sometimes worn as a symbol of supervisory office. * Dutch Lutherans came first to America (New Amsterdam) in 1623. In 1638 Swedish Lutherans established a colony in Delaware. By mid-18th century Lutheranism was firmly established, mostly by Germans, along the eastern seaboard. Patriarch of Lutheranism in the U.S. was the Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, organizer and theologian, who in 1748 formed the first Lutheran Synod in America. In the early 19th century Lutheranism joined the great westward move, swept along by new waves of immigrants from Germany and Scandinavia...
...election-year proposal to cut farm subsidies (TIME. Jan. 27); even so loyal an Administration supporter as Vermont's venerable George Aiken has publicly turned on Benson and his works. More worried about such a simple political issue as rising unemployment than anything else, many an Atlantic Seaboard legislator will fight Ike's program for a five-year renewal of the reciprocal trade agreement act. (G.O.P. leaders have told him he will be lucky to get three years.) Such reclamation-conscious Senators as Minnesota's Thye and California's Knowland are balking...
