Flying from Madison, to Fresno, he landed at North Platte after a bout at 33,000 feet with the twister that hit a farm near Pleasanton. Lightning blasted a hole in the nose of his plane and the canopy exploded.

He summoned four consultants to Walter Reed Army Hospital, including the Boston heart specialist, Dr. Paul Dudley White. James Hagerty, White House-press secretary, said at the hospital that the consultants, including White, were being called in "purely as a precautionary measure." Hagerty said Eisenhower's doctors wanted to emphasize that "this is not a heart case." Hagerty repeated that White, a consultant on the Eisenhower case, since the president suffered a heart attack last Sept. 24, was being called as a "purely precautionary measure" Statement Asked whether the President's condition is critical, Hagerty replied: "Certainly none of the doctors have used any such adjective to me." Eisenhower became ill in the early morning hours. An ambulance took the 65-year-old chief Mrs.

Benson said in a speech at Beaver Dam, Monday that the program was not a "drought relief measure.

He also said that "to the degree that I am able, I intend to see that the nation gets a dollar's worth of surplus reduction for every dollar paid out." Department officials administering the program said the next day that no payments would be made except for cuts in production that farmers achieve by underplanting or plowing' under. They said reductions attributed to natural causes would be ineligible for payments. But in formal announcement of soil bank regulations Friday, Benson said a farmer who did not plant his full allotment of winter wheat last fall because of drought or other adverse conditions would be eligible for a payment of $4 an acre on the underplanted acreage. Under the new policy, a farmer whose crops have been destroyed by natural causes will be eligible for a payment of $6 an acre. A farmer who plows under eligi ble growing crops will be offered payments based on the indicated production of the soil bank acreage or its normal yield, which ever is smaller.

1:30 p.m. EDT. Shortly after p.m. Hagerty called newsmen together at the Hospital and read this statement by Maj. Gen.

Howard M. Snyder, White House physician, and Maj, Gen. Leonard D. Heaton, Walter Reed commandant: "The President arrived at the Hospital at 1:40 p.m. and 'was taken to the third floor suite in Ward 1.

"The X-ray of the abdomen re- Reaction Cautious To Illness WASHINGTON (fl Immediate reaction was cautious after the White House announced President Eisenhower's illness. Leonard W. Hall, Republican national chairman, said White House Press Secretary Hagerty called him at about the time Hagerty announced the President'! illness to newsmen.

"Haggerty's statement speaks for itself," Hall said. Chairman Bridges (NH) of the Senate GOP Policy Committee said he was "sorry to hear the President is indisposed," but added he felt there was "nothing serious" about the illness. "It's something which happens to everyone from time to time," Bridges said. "I Imagine hell be back in his regular routine tomorrow." Senate Republican Leader Know-land (Calif) reserved comment pending further word from the White House. Knowland withdrew as a candidate for his party's presidential nomination after Eisenhower announced on Feb29 that he would seek re-election.

In Santa Barbara, Adlai Stevenson said. "I share the concern of everyone and their hope that the President will recover speedily and completely." In Parii former President Harry S. Truman, who Is on a European vacation, was informed by newsmen of President Eisenhower'i illness and replied gravely: "I sure hope it's not serious. I sure hope not."

He put a synthetic sweetener in his coffee.

There was some conflict over whether the President ate the potato. Secretary James Hagerty said he thought Eisenhower' passed up wine, explaining that the President doesn't "care much for it."

In response to questions, Hagerty told newsmen that physicians had not made any suggestion to him that Eisenhower illness was a result of food poisoning. The olive drab army ambulance was pulled up to the south side of the White House to receive the ailing chief executive. It departed by the southeast gate.

Eisenhower could be seen lying in the ambulance. His hands were folded on his chest. Put on Stretcher Hagerty said that the President was put on a stretcher and the stretcher was placed in the ambulance. He said it was the first time since the President's intestinal attack that he had left his Eisenhower was In pajamas. Some time before the ambulance wheeled away, Mrs.

Elsenhower left in a White House limousine presumably going ahead to the hospital. Eisenhower was taken to the presidential suite on the third floor of the administration building's east wing. The President was stricken early Friday. White House Physician Howard M. Snyder was called to bis bedside at 2 a.m.

EDT. Hagerty said in his noonday report he was not going to attempt to reach any conclusions on his own as a layman. He said he would leave that to the physicians. "The President had an attack of an ileitis (inflammation of the lower portion of the small intes tine). As a precautionary measure he is being taken to Walter Reed Hospital this afternoon.

"His blood pressure and pulse are good. "He has "no fever. "There is no indication of any heart trouble." Hagerty said the President has had one intravenous injection of dextrose sugar. He said Dr. Sny-der has called in Dr.

Francis Pruitt, chief of medicine at Wal ter Reed, for consultation. The press secretary said the President has not been in severe pain but that there was some soreness. Earlier, Hagerty had described the President's difficulty as an upset stomach" and Insisted "it is not an illness but an upset." Aware of Pain Hagerty said Mrs. Eisenhower called Dr. Snyder when the Presi dent first, became aware of pain some time before 2 a.m.

Hagerty said he did not know how long the President would remain hospitalized. The press secretary said he would stay at the hospital while Eisenhower was there. Hagerty told newsmen he per sonally had sent word to Vice President Nixon regarding the President' distress. In reply to another question, Hagerty said this is the first time Eisenhower has suffered such a "stomach upset" since last Sept. 24.

That day, before the White House announced the President had suffered a heart attack, his aides characterized the ailment as a "digestive upset." Appointments Off Eisenhower attended the annual dinner of the White House News Photographers' Assn. The White House announcement came at just about the time the President had been scheduled to start the day's official engagements. Last Feb. 14 a panel of six of the President's doctors announced after a new exhaustive physical examination, that he had made a "good recovery" from the September heart attack. Fifteen days after the doctors reported, Eisenhower announced he was available for re-election.

At the time be announced he was available for renomination, Eisenhower said that if be ever felt he was not physically up to the presidential job he would not be "available for the job." If such circumstances developed, Elsenhower said, he would tell the American people "instantly."

The action on Yugoslavia cams after the Eisenhower administration, rebuffed in the House, turned to the Senate for support ot his protests against a deep cut In his foreign aid request.

Eisenhower asked 30 million dollars in economic aid to Yugoslavia, plus a larger but secret amount of military assistance. The House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to chop the 30 mil ion in half.
