There have been no symptoms
whatsoever of coronary INSULT
cheney (angina pectoris) or of
Imyocardial insufficiency (heart
muscle weakness) since an early
period following the heart attack
of September "a, 1855. The Pres
ident remains on we'll con-
trolled anticoagulant program.
Examination on this date
shows the President to be looking
well. The blood pressure is 100 rs.
The pulse rate is rs per minute.
The heart is not enlarged either
on physical examination or by
X-ray studies microscopy and
X-ray finn; the latter shows the
size of the heart shadow to be
unchanged in comparison with
the films made during the past
ten years.
The heart sounds are normal
and there are no murmurs. The
neck pulse is normal. The lungs
are clear. There is no edema of
the dependent parts. The art
cries of the extremities show no
scleroris and there is a good
pulse in each foot.
The electrocardiogram show
the same residual changes of a
well-healed heart muscle scar
which have been present since
recovery from the attack last
year. The rhythm is normal at a
rate of rs.
The X-ray of the chest, when
compared with numerous pre-
vious films Of the heart and
lungs dating from 1916, shows no
change in the general configura-
ton of the heart. On flouro-
scopic examination, normal rate
and rhthym of the heart are
noted. The healed infarction

Nose: Paranasal sinuses are

Dental: The teeth and gums

Neck: The neck is normal.

back to 1916 shows no change.
Abdomen: The abdominal wall
moves normally with breathing
There is no distention. There
are two well-healed scars: one
in the lower right abdominal
wall from an appendectomy in
1923; the second, a right rectus
scar, the result of the operation
for acute intestinal obstruction
in June 1856. The peristalsis is

the report said:
1.-The President has made an
excellent recovery from the OPP
leration for acute intestinal OBJ
struction due to an old burnt
out ileitis. His bowel function
is now perfectly normal"
Another unusually detailed
part of the report dealt with Mr..
Eisenhower's cardiovascular sys-
tenn in view of the heart attack
from which he was recovering in
Denver a year ago.
There have been no symptoms
whatsoever of coronary insult
f1ciency (angina pectoris) or of
myocardial insuficiency (heart
muscle weakness) since an early
period following the heart at
tack on September "a, 1885,"

The doctors reported "the
heart is not enlarged" and
there is no evidence of bullying

muscle.
They found his hearing and
vocal chords normal; his teeth
and gums in excellent condi-
ton; his lung satisfactory:
muscle tone good, and no EVIL
dence of disease in the urinary
tract.
Earlier Report Compared
One of the biggest differences
between this report and that
which followed the Presidents
May II examination was the
greater detail in which condi-
Ition of his abdomen was described
yesterday. The May II report
simply noted an appendectomy
scar and said "the findings other
wise were normal" Some people
wondered later why no evidence
of the ileitis that sent Mr.. Eli
senhower to the hospital less
than a month later was noted
then.
The report signed by Drs.
Heaton and Snyder was. made
public at the White House late
yesterday after the President
had returned there from Walter
Reed. Mr.. Hagerty handed out
the written report, telling news
men the doctors preferred it
that way rather than to join
in a news conference.
The specialists taking part In
the examination included DR..
Paul Dudley White, noted Bos-
ton heart specialist who was
chief consultant on the Presi-
dents case in Denver; Col
Byran E. Pollock, heart specialist
at FitzsimonS Army Hospital in
Denver who was in charge of
the Presidents case there: Col.
Thomas w. Mattingly, Walter
Reed heart specialist; DR.. Isidor
Ravdin, professor of surgery at
the University of Pennsylvania
Medical School who assisted at !
the ileitis operation, and two
Washington surgeons, Drs. Brian
Blades and John H. Lyons.

government policy in South Africa
there is widespread belief that the
South African Nationalist have
entrenched themselves in power
for the foreseeable future.
Though some white Rhodesians
notably emigrants from South At
RIGA, share the Nationalists' pro-
segregation views, this British fed
Grafton is officially committed to
a policy of racial partnership. And
at government level here the latest
triumph and apparent consolida-
ton of a neighboring regime fol-
lowing the completely contrary
goal of white supremacy is treated
with concern.
RhOdesia Watches
The verdict in the South African
Governments favor means that
there is little prospect of its going
to the electorate before it is legally
obligated to in 1858. And most
observers believe it's chances of
being reelected at that time now
are considerably enhanced. For the
court verdict stills doubt concern
ing the legality of it's action among
those wavering supporters who
might cast their vote against the
government in the event of its de-
feat at the courts.
Further consolidation of the Ma
tionalist government is likely with
lowering of the white voting age
from 81 years to Is years, which
action has been strongly limited at
by government spokesman.
Youth Vote Eyed
Probably this cannot be effected
by the 1858 election, but by the
next election year, 1863, it would
likely net the Nationalist consid-
cradle extra votes. This is because
active government indoctrination
of South Africa's youth, which the
Nationalists are currently under
taking, is likely to produce many
more government supporters than
opponents among teenagers.
Meanwhile Coloreds in the Cape
Province who have enjoyed the
common vote with whites for more
than a century now will be repre-
scented in Parliament by four whites
on the same sectional basis as
South Africa's more than 9,000,-
900 Africans.
These Africans are represented
by three whites in an Assembly OF
more than $50 white Legislators

struck down local segregation laws
in a test case involving the separa-
ton of bus passengers in Mont
gomery, Ala. Local officials said
they would fight the decision by
every legal means" They argued
that continued racial separation
was in the public safety" and nee
essary "to promote order in our
city"
Negro groups, headed by the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People, asked
the Supreme Court Saturday to
force local government to comply
as speedily as possible.
Brownell pointed out that under
the high court decision Estate statu-
ties and local ordinances requiring
segregation of white and colored
races on common carriers of pas
sengers violate the due process and
equal protection" provisions of the
Constitution.
He said in letter to the U. S.
attorneys that prior to the decision
"a number of states, counties, mu-
inequalities, and other agencies Of
local government had adopted dis
criminatory measures"
at is now clear that any such
law, statute, ordinance or regula-
ton must be regarded as a dead
letter." he stated.
Brownell pointed out that IN
light of the Supreme Court decl-
sion. any persons, corporations or
local governments that abet bus
segregation in any way are equal
ly guilty" And he said such &C
tons would constitute "a CRIME
against the United States"
The attorney general in his let
ter to the U. S. attorneys in the
ID states and he was Informed" OF
unrepealed local laws requiring
segregation. He added that it would
be helpful if the federal officers
bring texts of any local segrega-
ton laws to the conference.
