President in Excellent
Health Checkup Reveals

Of Great Britain or any other
war leader.
The President started the trip
talk when he laughingly told a
recent new conference he hoped
TO see the Prime Minister some
time before Jan. 20-end of the
thiri term-but that he'd be
glad to see him next spring or
anytime.
The Presidents weight of
1870 pounds is the lowest it has
been at any time since he en-
tered the White House, McIntire
said. It's four pounds less than
the doctor always has regarded
as Mr.. Roosevelts best weight.
But he said the President thinks
it's a fine weight.

WASHINGTON, June 9-(P)
President Roosevelt Gage 81,
weight 1907 is in better health
today than he has been in any
time for a year-that's the opin-
ion of his doctor who told re-
porters:
Hes in better physical condi-
ton than the average man of
his age"
Questions of war and politics
are affected by the report.
The President has talked of
possible trip for closer look
at the war and Democrats who
have piled up more than enough
convention votes to nominate
him for a fourth term have
agreed that the state of his
health would play a big part in
what he does.
But the President is going to
take it as easy as possible if the
doctor, Vice Admiral Ross T.
McIntire, has his way. He'll get
in as much swimming as pos
sible, avoid lunch-time work
and relax in the sunshine when
it can be arranged.
AT the request of reporters,
McIntire yesterday went over
the results of physical exami-
nation the President underwent.
AT the same time he told, efor the
first time, the full list of all
ments that beset the Chief Ex-
ecutive last winter after his re-
turn from Teheran.
1t started with the flu and led
to an intestinal upset, a cold,
sinus infection and acute bron-
chitiS.
Mr.. Roosevelt responded to
last moths physical tests in
splendid fashion-"well within
normal LIMITS in all regards"
McIntire SAIL. He termed it an
extremely satisfactory" check
up.
McIntire's talk with reporters
indicated - although he didn't
say so-that he regards the
President physically equal to a
major trip should Mr.. Roosevelt
decide upon future conference
