Eisenhower Ends So. American Tour;
Smiling Through Tear-Gas, Hecklers
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
BUENOS AIRES, (If) — Presi
dent Eisenhower flew north
toward home yesterday after a
triumphant four-nation South
American tour marked by huge,
enthusiastic crowds and a smat
tering of tiny anti-U. S. demon
strations.
The President flew to Buenos
Aires in his trusty Columbine III*
after a 21-■hour stay in Montevi
deo, capitol of neighboring Uru
guay. He held a brief last meet
ing at the Buenos Aires Airport
with Argentine President Arturo
Frondizi, then took off in'his Bie
ing 707 jet for an all-day flight
to Puerto Rico and three days of
rest before going on to Wash
ington.
U. S. Air Force officials said
the flight plan at the time of de
parture called for a refueling stop
in Paramaribo, Surinam, after a
flight of nearly six hours. That
schedule would put the President
in Puerto Rico late in the after
noon.
Eisenhower was smiling and in
obvious good humor as he said
goodbye to President Frondizi.
They had a final 15-minute talk
aboard the sleek jet just before it
took off.
Just before leaving Uruguay.
Eisenhower and President Benito
Nardone issued a joint “Declara
tion of Montevideo” repudiating
all types of antidemocratic actions.
They pledged their adherence to
the principle of nonintervention
in the affairs of other American
countries and agreed to use their
efforts to increase economic, so
cial and cultural cooperation.
Then the Presidents gave each
other a hearty embrace and Eis
enhower boarded his plane, wav
ing and grinning.
The cheers of millions along
the way through Brazil, Argen
tina, Chile and Uruguay kept Eis
enhower smiling and in high spir
its from the minute he reached
South America on his historic
goodwill mission 10 days ago.
Shrugging off the only hostile
display that amounted to any
thing, in Montevideo Wednesday,
he told Uruguayan President Ben
ito Nardone that the jeers of left
ist students didn’t bother him a
bit.
The acrid fumes of tear' gas
fired by police at one group of
demonstrators brought tears to
Eisenhower’s eyes, and spray from
disciplinary fire hoses blew across
the path of his open car, but he
was not ruffled.
The President coughed slightly
for a moment. He sat down in
his bubbletop car, wiped his eyes
and within a minute jumped to
his feet, again waving greetings
to the enthusiastic crowds — es
timated at 400,000—who drowned
out the two small groups of
hecklers.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
After Halley’s computation re
vealing the time and orbit of the
comet named after him, he looked
up the records and found that the
comets of 1607, 1531 and 1456
were all the same comet. Seventy
five years later, true to his pre
diction, the comet returned, thus
proving that comets may travel
in elongated orbits and appear
periodically. Halley has the honor
of being the first to predict the
return of a comet.
It is now known that some
comets require hundreds and even
thousands of years to perform a
revolution around the sun. Do
nates comet, one of the famous
comets, which appeared in 1858,
travels in such a long circuit that
it returns only every 2,000 years.
The brilliant comet of 1811, which
remained visible for nearly ten
months, will return in 3,000 years.
The orbits of some comets are
even longer than this, some trav
eling so far into space beyond
Neptune that it will be many
thousands of years before their
return.

on hand.
One of the teen-agers, Laura

asked whether she could see El
vis at the news conference. She
was told she could not. She said
she had come down to Ft. Dix
at midnight.
On leaving Germany Wednes
day, Presley said he planned to
return to his home in Memphis,
Tenn., as soon as he is dicsharged
before getting ready for a TV
show May 1.
At a news conference here,
Presley answered a number of
questions put to him by reporters.
On romance in Europe: “I
found quite a few girls I liked,
but no special ones.”
On whether rock ’n’ roll is
declining: “I don’t know; I cant
commit myself if it is or isn’t. . . .
I would never abandon it as long
as people keep appreciating it.”
On acting: “My ambition is to
become a good actor.”
On dress — Will he switch to
the Ivy look or stick to “gaudy
attire?” “The same gaudy attire.”
On suggestive movements in
singing: “I don’t look at it as
suggestive. It’s a natural move
ment.”
On preference between Amer
ican and German girls: “They are
all females.”
