He said Mr.. Eisenhower will
make his own decision and will
present to the people of the
country within a relatively short
time his conclusions.
The President indicated last
week that he will announce his
intentions by March l, saying

But most OF the questions

The first questioner wanted to

Text Of Doctors Report
On Presidents Condition

slightly below 80 diastolic. but
never at an unsatisfactory high
or low level.
The Presidents general circu-
lation, including the circulation
in his legs and feet, is excellent.
He has suffered no attacks of
shortness Of breath or anginal
pains or rapid pulse action.
The blood CLOTHING time has
been maintained at the desired
level. The blood sedimentation
rate has remained at a point
above the junction of the middle
and upper third Of the normal
range. It was 8 nm. per hour on
February II, 1856.
The white blood count has re-
manned between 5000 and 1900
with a normal distribution of
types during this period. The
red cell count has been slightly
above five million. Study of the
blood platelets and other cellular
elements in the blood stream in
dictate no abnormalities.
Weighs liz Pounds
The serum cholesterol varies
but continues within the
normal range. The cholesterol
on February II was 217 mgms.
The Presidents weight has
not exceeded 172 pounds on a
diet which is low in fats and
which rarely exceeds 1900 cal
cries per day.
Thus the above finding show
that the President has made a
good recovery from the attack
Of coronary thrombosis which
occurred last fall.
This is a more complete report
that is usually issued under cir
cumstances of this type: how
ever, we make this report be-
cause the President wished that
the people Of this country be
made acquainted with the facts

FTeSLuSUL EtSeHhtOUSF tSSucu
By his physicians yesterday.
The goth week of convalescence
following the heart attack suf-
Ifered by the President on Sep
TENDER "a, 1855, was concluded
by a complete cardio-vascular
examination at Walter Reed
Army Medical Center on Feb
Iruary II, 1856.
Again we can report that the
presidents health continues to
be satisfactory.
There are no symptoms indi-
eating either weakness of the
heart muscle or insufficient coro-
nary reserve: that is, lack OF
blood supply to the contracting
heart muscle.
This cardio-vascular examina-
ton revealed no physical abmor-
malties other than those associ-
ated with the scar in the heart
muscle. X-day, microscopy, and
cardiogram show a well-healed
scar about two en-. (centimeters'
in diameter in the antero-lateral
aspect of the left ventricle.
Measured heart shadows on x
ray films covering a period of
10 years confirm the fact that
the heart has not enlarged dur
ing this period.
Temperature Normal
The Presidents temperature
has been normal. His pulse is
usually in the COS or low 70s
After swimming or other exer-
cises. the pulse runs up to 80
or "a, but quickly returns to its
prior level in the low 70s or
upper Cos. His blood pressure
has been stable. occasionally
above 100 systolic. at times
