The six men currently re-
garded as top contenders for
presidential nominations this
year were not always as frisky
as they appear today. The ills
of the flesh have assailed all
of them in varying degrees.
In seven years in Office Pres
ident Eisenhower has had three
serious illnesses, including a
heart attack. and voters can be
expected to pay more than
ordinary attention to the health
of the prospective candidates
AS the likely Republican
nominee. Vice President Nixon
maintains that he has no
worries on that score.
But vigorous as he appears.
Mr.. Nixon at 47 is subject in
times of stress to what he calls
a nervous stomach. He also
has touch of hay fever now
and then.
Because he has high blood
pressure. Mr.. Nixon watches
his diet closely, particularly
while campaigning. Doctors
keep a check on his cholesterol
(blood fat) count because of
his blood pressure.
Aside from infrequent rounds
of golf. he takes little exercise
except to walk from his Office
in the Senate Office Building
to the Capitol, a distance of
about two city blocks, a couple
of times a day.
Kennedy Is Recovered
Senator Kennedy, Democrat
of Massachusetts, AZ, an avowed
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, gives
every evidence of having re-
covered from a spinal injury
for which he underwent surgery
in October, 1854.
Senator Kennedy was injured
when the torpedo boat he COM
manded in World War II was
hit by a japanese destroyer.
He first was operated on in
1945. but his condition worsened
in the early months of 1854
and he was forced to use
He was on the operating
table four hours that year, and
returned to the hospital in
February. 1855. for removal
of a metal plate that appeared
to be slowing his recovery.
Those who see him slide down
comfortably in a chair these
days and toss his leg casually
over its arm are convinced he
has no further spinal trouble.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, 48. another
avowed candidate. has not had
a serious illness since pneu-
monia almost took his life
when he was 7 years old.
However. he has had two
operations. one for a double
hernia, and the other an ap-
pendectomy. Those who see
Senator Humphrey going at top
speed on long-hour days have
no fears about his health.
One Heart Attack
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. johnson Of Texas
who obviously is available for
his party's top nomination. is
the only one of the group who
has had a recorded heart attack.
Senator johnson, now 81.
was stricken at the home of a
friend in Middleburg, Va, in
July, 1855, with what was de-
scribed as a moderately severe
heart attack. He had been
operated on in March of that
year for removal of a kidney
stone.
Senator johnson is some
thing of a despair to his wife
and doctors, who want him to
take things a lot easier than
he does. But the Democratic
leader is a wound-up man who
has trouble slowing down, even

llIe. 1 DlSSS CIle. Qhy us
covered this breed.
The dogs disposition is
marvellous. never growls at
anyone, so your mailman
would be safe. They love
everyone. and they are so
very beautiful-such grace
full. high : stepping little
things. I never go a block
when I have mine on a leash
without someone stopping me
to ask about her.
This breed is very intelli-
gent and can be taught very
easily. They love children
and are not delicate-mine
has never had a sick moment
in over two years.
They do not need a yard
particularly, as they get
plenty Of exercise right in the
house. They are gay and
playful. and would be un-
happy if left out in the yard.
They want to be in the house
and with people-so if you're
looking for a dog to leave
outside or in the basement,
this breed is not for you.
If you want an affection
ate, lovable little companion
to share your home, you
could not find anything more
charming.
There is no odor and no
shedding. One of my children
had an allergy to most dogs,
but the Italian greyhound is
perfectly safe in this regard.
I would not advise this
breed for a home with very
small, rough children. as the
dogs are not built for rough
handling or mauling. The
dog would never snap at the
children, but it might be in
jured by their unsupervised
treatment of it.
My dog loves to travel in
our car and is always ready
to go with us. Being quite
small, she is no trouble, even
on vacation trips.
We bought our dog from a
reliable breeder in nearby
Virginia, who was most help
full in answering any ques-
tionS as to her care. There
is a magazine published on
this breed which can be OBJ
tanned by subscription only.
I don't know the address of
the publisher, but the breeder
I mentioned can supply it.
The Italian greyhound is
a fairly rare breed, although
I have read that the United
States raises more than any
other country. There are
about 140 pups of this breed
registered here each year &C
cording to the article.
My dog is a fawn color.
but I have seen this breed
in blue, various shades of
fawn, and white with fawn or
blue markings. All the colors
are very pretty. and the coat
is quite shiny and silky
smooth.
I hope this helps you some
what in making your choice
Of a dog for your family, and
that it will bring the joy

Ruling Binds
DC. Power
On Licenses

The District Commissioners
cannot delegate the basic
power to revoke or suspend
licenses to a city agency, Dis
trict Court Judge Matthew F. |
MCGUIRE ruled yesterday in a |
case concerning a cab driver. |
Congress gave that RESPONSE
bility to the Commissioners
and it cannot be avoided or
shunted by way of attempted |
delegation" the judge said.
The decision may require !
considerable changes in city
licensing procedures. UNTIL
now, the Commissioners have
delegated the power of revoca-
tion and SUSPENSION of most
licenses to different admins
'trative units.
Drivers Not Included
The judges decision refers
to the licensing act which COW
erS such diverse licenses as
those issued to undertakers,
fortune tellers, private detec-
tives, secondhand dealers and /
solicitors. It does not include
drivers permits.

from the individuals a means
of livelihood to which he has
devoted the best years OF his
life"
The board had charged that
Mr.. Frazier was not of proper
character" because he had
been arrested on charges of
obtaining District title and
registration by misrepresenta-
ton.
A mere arrest is not sufficient
ground to declare a person not

said, and pointed out that Mr..
Frazier was found not guilty
at a subsequent court trial.
The board had also charged
that Mr.. Frazier obtained
money by false pretenses be-
cause he used a name other
than his legal name. The judge
noted that the hacker had
signed Frank Frazier" which
he had frequently done on
other documents, leaving out
his first name.
Mr.. Frazier's use of a name

false pretense as alleged by the
