An unusual quiet surrounded the White House preparations, and some details, including the final composition of his traveling party, were not yet spelled out. Mrs. Johnson did not plan to go along, and there were no go along, and there were announced Congressional par ticipants. Mr. Johnson was scheduled to take off from Dulles Inter- national Airport in the big presidential jet, Air Force One, at 11 p.m.

(E.S.T.) As far as was known, no particular ceremony was planned for his departure, an unusually inconspicuous em- barkation for such an lmnort- barkation for such an import ant mission.

Airport operators know that the lead time on new facilities to handle the 747 and the SST is anywhere from three to four years. But the 747 will be here in early 1970, in limited numbers.

Any airport that wants to handle these jets will undergo more construction disruptions. And there just isn't that much time, so claim many aviation officials. NEXT The 747, the flying jumbo of the skies. THE DAY By comparison with the magisterial Roosevelt scholarship of Schlesinger and Frie-del, this competent, if somewhat pedestrian biographical account must inevitably suffer. Yet, even accepted on its own terms as the work of a close friend and advisor to the late President, Tugwell's book still remains a surprisingly unexciting and disappointing recital of familiar events which adds no fresh insights of new information to our knowledge of the period.

Gerald Johnson's "Franklin D. Roosevelt: Portrait Of A Great Man" is the latest work in the Morrow Company's Junior Book Series. As a biography addressed to junior and senior high school youth, Johnson has written an objective, independent, yet warmly sympathetic and understanding narrative of the events of the Roosevelt years which magnificently captures the ethos of the times and the heroic dimensions of the man. If any member of the rising generation of young Americans, who was not privileged to have had any first-hand knowledge, experience, or understanding of F.D.R. and the New Deal, wants to learn about the historic interplay of men, ideas, and institutions which occurred during this period, the best place to begin is with Gerald Johnson's fascinating biography.

And to make this example complete, visualize each of these 400 persons with from one to three pieces of luggage. It's enough to give anyone a migraine headache. This, then, is the Boeing 747, the 'jumbo" jet being built in a new plant outside Seattle, to cope with the explosive grovth in air travel. A subsonic plane actually it will be traveling at the edge of the speed of sound the 747 will be capable of transporting more people that any other plane in existence today.

It's so big and so fast and will be in the air so soon, that hardly any the airports in this country today will be ready to completely cope with the travel problems being created by this huge jet. It's so big, that for the first time in the aviation history an aircraft designer is bring ing together the customer airlines and the airport operators to exchange views before the plane is built. In the past, planes were made and placed into service, and the airports revamped to cope with the new aircraft. But while the problems of today's 100-passenger plane could be met the same no longer holds true for the 747 nor the supersonic transport the SST expected to be in service some eight years hence. Five years after the introduction of the Boeing 747, forecasts are that this plane will be in widespread use throughout the world.

J. M. Steiner, Boeing's vice president for product development, commercial airplane division, says frankly that with the 747, the older terminal concept is obsolete. The commercial applications of the "jumbo" jet are breathtaking. As an air freighter, this plane will be able to move more than 100 tons of containerized cargo up to 6000 miles at speeds of nearly 630 miles per hour.

(The containers, eight by eight feet, can vary in length from 10 to 40 feet.) This challenge to seaborne commerce Boston longshoremen please note cannot be ignored for, according to all available statistics, the biggest hike in air travel in the future is not in passengers but in freight. How then, does one come to grips with the problems of air travel involving a plane carrying capacity that could with one single flight: Make a big dent in the seating capacity oi the ballrooms of either the Sheraton Plaza or Sheraton Boston Hotels, or overload the Plaza's Oval room or the Boston's Independence or Constitution Rooms.

and 30 photographs, $3.75. The reputations and achievements of the great men of history can often suffer as much from the uncritical adulation of friends and admirers as from the unremitting hostility of enemies and detractors. Fortunately, neither Rexford Tugwell, one of the most influential members of F.D.R.'s original Brain Trust, nor Gerald Johnson, the distinguished liberal journalist and social critic- has permitted his deep repsect and admiration for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt to prevent him from writing a balanced biographical evaluation of the Rooseveltian Era. Rex Tugwell's role in the early days of the New Deal, as Bernard Sternsher's recent, study of Tugwell convincingly demonstrated, has been popularly distorted and insufficiently appreciated. A collectivistic institutional economist with strong ideas about the need for governmental coordination and planned capitalism, Tugwell as a major intellectual force in the early, pre-1935 New Deal.

Yet, there is little mention of his own ideas and contributions in his latest effort to evoke the memories and interpret the consequences of the events of this important era. In F.D.R.: Architect of An Era, Tugwell retraces the early life of F.D.R., the emergence of F.D.R. as a political leader, and the establishment and evolution of New Deal policies and programs from 1932 to 1945, particularly on the domestic front. DRAFT Continued from rage 1 Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has said draft calls this year will be considerably smaller than those of 1966.

Early this year the Pentagon chief said he expected draft calls the first six months of this year to be on the order of 101,000 men. Today's announced call for June provides a total considerably low 87,600. For the same six-month period last year 177.000 men were inducted. The Pentagon expects draft calls during the next six months to average about 20,000 a month or a total of 120,000. This would compare with draft calls totaling 205,000 in the last half of 1966.

Defense plans are to continue the basic one year assignment In Vietnam. Col Paul Fccney, deputy director of the Massachusetts Service, said the quota for the state will be 2U1 in June. Last month 239 were called as part of an 18,000 national call.
