Health is excellent in all respects,
according to Vice Admiral Ross r
McIntire, his personal physician.
Il can say that he Is in better
physical condition than the average
man Of his age" Admiral McIntire
told newsmen late yesterday, in re-
sponse TO request for report or
sscheckup which the President un-
derwent at the Naval Medical Gem
tyr, Bethesda, May 26.
THE President weighs 180, which
ID the lowest figure of his II years
Id the White House, and while this
is 1 pounds less than medical ad-
visers have felt was the most salts
factory level, the Chief Executive
has decided that it is best weight
and intends to hold it.
! Unrestricted Diet.
He is on an unrestricted but we'll
balanced diet; a work routine has
been devised which gets him out OF
the office more and bans business at
lunch, and he also is doing some
spinning, form of exercise denied
for weeks.
Admiral McTntire was frankly op-
tnnistic over the state of his pa
TENTS health, as he discussed the
result of the checkup, which was
made as precautionary measure"
about three weeks after the Presi-
dent had returned from Hobcaw
Manor, S. c., to determine just how
much progress had been made.
I'VE gained everything we hoped
TO from our stay in South Caro-
lima" Admiral McIntire said, ex-
planning that it had been an excel
lent rest period, and also permitted
q good daily routine. 1t was the
sort of program followed in normal
times, and one that must be ad-
hered to now, he continued, so the
grind necessitated by the war doe'
not become fatiguing.

Far|ey's Resignation
Held Sign He Thinks
Roosevelt Will Run
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The resignation of James A. Far,
ley as New York Democratic Stat,
chairman was regarded by Washing
ton politicians today as an inevitable
consequence of his known opposition
to a fourth term for any Presiden
and his apparent belief that Presi.
dent Roosevelt will run again.
At his news conference this morn
ing Mr.. Roosevelt refused to be
drawn into any political discussion
He had no comment on the resig-
nation Of MIR. Farley and said he
knew nothing about the anti-fourth-
term uprising in Mississippi.
Position Was Becoming Awkward.
With nomination within the Pres
ident's grasp-if he wants it--Mr
Farley's position as party leader of
one OF the most pivotal of States
was fast becoming awkward if not
untenable, they said.
Neither Mr.. Farley nor his long
time associates in Washington gave
any hint that he would bolt the
party or even join in any anti
Roosevelt movement which might
develop within the framework of
the party. Rather, his friends said,
his will be hands-off attitude.
Mr.. Farley wouldn't say whether
he would permit his name to go be-
fore the convention as a candidate
for President as he did in 1910.
Business Duties Occupy Time.
The former Postmaster General
and National Democratic. chairman
explained yesterday he was resign
ing because his business duties as
a. Coca-Cola executive would not
allow him to give enough time to
committee affairs. A successor is
to be chosen July II.
In 1910 MIR. Farley stayed in as
State chairman despite his opposi-
ton to a third term.
Mr.. Farley still plans to 60 to
Chicago as a convention delegate.
There, with his phenomenal per-
sonal acquaintanceship, he could be

Admiral McIntire Reports

sage on the state of the union.
HE never performed better in his
life than at Teheran," where he met
Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stain, in December, ~Ad-
miral McIntire said.
Complications developed after the
influenza siege, an intestinal upset
acute cold, sinus affection and acute
bronchitis finally combining to put
the President to- bed in March.
While recuperating late that month,
he underwent check-up at the
Naval Medical Center In accord
ance with yearly. custom and Ad-
miral McIntire said Sat the time
that medical advisers decided that
there was nothing to .aIgue about
in view of the Presidents age. He
was 81 on January 80. The admiral
emphasized then, however, that
more relaxation and sunshine were
absolutely essential.
In saying that everything checked
up in splendid fashion" on the re-
cent examination, Admiral McIntire
added that I'VE are we'll within our
normal limits" Explaining, he said
that there are certain standards for
different age groups, and that the
President measured up to those for
his age.
Muscle Tone Is Good"
His muscle tone is good, he said.
The intestinal upset necessitated
some dietary restrictions, according
to Admiral McIntire, but these have
been removed now, and the PreSi-
dent "eats practically everything. !"
He is swimming irregularly, and
Admiral McIntire thinks that it will
be at least three weeks before he
goes on a regular schedule in this
respect.
Prior to his latest illness, Mr..
Roosevelt had been putting in about
Is hours a day at work, with the
lunch period usually given over the
conferences with some of his top
advisers. But since returning from
the South, this program has been
modified, and Admiral McIntire ex-
pressed hope that the President
would adhere to the lighter schedule
More week ends away from the office
are also in prospect to give Mr.
Roosevelt the breaks" it is felt his
health demands.
That's only common sense,
! Admiral McIntire asserted.

Union Threatens New
Ward Strike and Plea
For Seizure by U. 5.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Another Montgomery Ward
strike in Chicago shaped up as
a possibility today, with a union
statement that If it comes, the
Government again will be asked
to take over the plant.
A special House committee wound
up public hearings yesterday on the
authority of President Roosevelt to
seize the Ward plant in April.
The War Labor Board has ordered
Ward to extend CIO contract
which includes a union maintenance
of membership clause, but Ward Of
ficials challenged the WLB's right
to impose such a condition.
The union said yesterday that a
new strike was quite probable, as a
result, and that the President would
be asked, If that happens, to seize
the property again.
Samuel Wolchok, president of the
International Retail and Wholesale
Workers (CIO), told the committee
that If Wards contention that it is
not a war industry is upheld, it
would be necessary then for the
union to say it had no obligation to
stay on the job.
He told reporters that if Ward re-
fuses to obey the new WLB order to
extend the old contract, there would
be strike. If that happens, he said
he hoped the Congress would back
up the President in new seizure
of the plant, and said that this time
the property should be retained until
the terms of the boards order are
carried out.
In the previous seizure, Mr.. VOL
chok testified, the Government did
nothing to enforce the WLB direc-
tive for restoration of the provisions
of the contract"

GRATITUDE

D-Day was the most critical day of our generation.
We are deeply indebted to the press, radio and
newsreels which, since the beginning of the inva-
sion, have kept us fully informed as to the move
ments of the Allied forces
This, the greatest achievement in the gathering
and dissemination of information ever recorded,
makes us realize what our men faced when they
landed, and more fully understand the depth of
our obligation as individuals and organizations in
backing up armed forces.
Our prayers with all who are participating in
the liberation of Europe, and our sympathy goes
out to the families of those who have made the
supreme sacrifice.
