EDT when his “Air Force One” jet transport touched down at Andrews Air Force Base, MdJohnson was in jovial spirit and obviously delighted with the trip to Montana Washing ton, Oregon, California, Utah and British Columbia. He was cheered by polls and reports from Democratic leaders in the five states about his election chances. He didn't even mind the soreness and pain in his fingers which resulted from handshakes with hundreds of supporters — most of them in Sacramento. Calif., where he climaxed his travels Thursday. The only dampener, literally ,was the rain which marred his trip Wednesday to Vancouver and the border community of Blaine, Wash. It was there he signed papers implementing the Canadian-American Columbia River treaty.
