All told during his White

has made 40 visits, most of them
over week ends. to his farm and
to Camp David, a mountain re-
treat near Thurmont, Md.
During 1858, his first year in
Office, Mr.. Eisenhower Travelled
1885 miles. He crossed the
border into Mexico to help dedi-
cate Falcon Dam, went to Of
tawa for conferences with Cana

muda for talks with Britain'S Sir
Winston Churchill and Frances
Joseph Laniel.
1892 Miles in 1854
In 1854 the President logged
81 ,942 miles, all within the
United States. Last year the
total was 32,835 miles, including
the longest journey Mr.. Eisen-
hover has made as President -
9.571 miles to and from Geneva.
Switzerland, for the summit con-

So far this year he has trav-

Mr.. Eisenhower's longest stays
! by far have been his annual Wis
its to Colorado. where he has
headquarters at a Denver sum-
mer White House and from
which he made side trips to
Rocky Mountain fishing camps
