Vacationer Dwight Eisenhower, ensconced in a deck chair on the low stern of the Navy crash boat Queen Six, trolled for eight hours one day last week southwest of Newport. R.I. A novice in the sedentary sport of deep-sea fishing, he obviously missed the dry-fly casting in the frowned-upon (because of his heart) altitudes of Colorado's Rocky Mountain brooks.
