vxison's condition tonight was en-
rS,urxrinr--to Rear Admiral Cary r
Hrayson. his personal physician.
The president in addition TO MS
regular ailnaent, gave battle 10 an
excessively warm day, which was
marked by an extremely high hu-
nudity. He was able TO obtain regn-
Iar sleep at intervals, and took some
ltttla uourishment. In short, he regis
tered a gain.
All of these details constituted the
encouragement expressed by DR.. Gray
son. but he was cautious In his night
bulletin because the presidents illness
IA fiuctuating In nature. and the ply
sscian does not desire to raise the
hopes OF the American people too
high. The president IS still a very
sick MAJ. and is in danger. His re-
rovery, according to DR.. Grayson,
will be a slow process. but he hasn' I

without breach OF ethics.
He's game all right" he declared
In speaking Of the president
The president was cheerful through
out the day His mind was keen and
alert At all times, and he was per

Transporting in the outside world. His
physicians. however, might just a
well have been automatons az far as
response were concerned. They have
prescribed quiet and rest. insofar az
possible and they have decreed that
he not be burdened with the worry
of governmental AFFAIRS.
So the president had to be content
with the word that the only thing he
shouid know about or concern him
self about was his own recovery.
And he was good natured when they
told him this.
Only one consultation was held by
the attending physicians today. They
gathered at the White House thkl
morning and subscribed TO the buile-
lin prepared by Or, Grayson.
They maintained the calm OF the
presidents quarters by permitting

This week win probably be the one
wherein the doctors and their patten,
will have to do yoeman work to
achieve the result they desire--as-
Burance that the president Is on the
road to recovery

him confined to his bed much longer.
