Sir Winston, sporting a ten-gallon hat and big cigar, is chauffeured by Ike himself in a tiny electric cart, on a lively tour in spite of his 84 years. President Dwight D. Eisenhower guides Churchill toward helicopter apparently on White House lawn. Marines helicopter flying (low), Washington Monument bg. Newsreel cameramen shooting.
