out examination is absurd" and
termed the QUESTIONABLE a po-
litical maneuver.
The QUESTIONABLE recently was
mailed to a number of heart
specialists listed in the Directory
of Medical Specialists by a group
that calls itself the American
Research Foundation Of Prince
ton, N. j.
The magazine today attacked
the questions as definitely
slanted politically"
IF physicians answer them, 3"
1t continued, "the information
could be used in almost any way
to the disadvantage of the pro-
fession."
The editorial declared that,
among others. the following two
questions were asked:
Il. Do you think a man who
has suffered a heart attack can
be regarded as physically able
to serve a term as President?
"2. Based on what you have
read about the nature Of the
Presidents illness and assuming
a normal convalescence in the
next few months. do you think
Mr.. Eisenhower can be regarded
as physically able to serve a
second term?"
The journal concluded: This
type of QUESTIONABLE, whatever
the source, should be discour-
aged; and to prevent the hysteria
that such information could TO-
ment, the QUESTIONABLE should
be tossed in the wastebasket."
A District heart specialist who
received the QUESTIONABLE said
