Snyder, Col. MattAgree on Bulletin. ingly, Walter Reed Hospital heart specialist; and Maj. Gen.

Leonard D. Heaton, the hospital's com manding officer, agreed on a medical bulletin asserting: responsibilities have imposecutive heavier tax upon the President than an ideal convalescence program would incorporate. "Then, too, the weather, (at Gettysburg) has not been the best. "Participation in office and farm activities has been carefully supervised so that no harm has resulted. "The President's condition, when examined, was good." The press conference came the checkup after the President ounderyrent more than an hour and a half.

Called 'Acute' The medical bulletin referred to the 65-year-old President's Sept. 24 coronary Thrombosis as "acute" for the first time, but doctors said that referred to the suddenness of the attack which previously has been described as "moderate." Gen. Snyder told the newsmen that "we expect his work to be lightened" when the President goes back to Gettysburg Tuesday after conferences here with leaders. congressionald that if he were in the President's position he wouldn't feel that he would be able to make "a satisfactory decision" on whether he would be able to run again for "another two months." Carefully Controlled He said that the President's activities for the next several weeks will be carefully controlled with emphasis on keeping the middle of the day from noon until 2:30 p.m. free of any activity.

That period, he said, will be set aside for lunch and rest. Snyder prefaced the reading of the medical bulletin by saying "the news continues to be good." The bulletin asserted the President has "felt well and looked well." It said he "sleeps well, rests well and relaxes easily during the day" and that he has used a very mild sedative only once since he left the hospital in Denver Nov. 11. The bulletin went on: "His general circulation is excellent, including the circulation in his legs and feet. Although there was an area of soreness in the President's chest during the first 48 hours of his illness, his breathing has been entirely comfortable during his entire illness.

At Controlled Level "The blood clotting time has remained at a controlled level. The blood sedimentation rate has steadily declined and is now in the upper normal range for this attitude. The white blood count has remained at a normal figure since the early days following the acute attack. The serum chloesterol varies slightly but continues within the normal range." The bulletin went on to say that the electrocardiograms "show residual abnormalities as a result of the scar in the heart muscle" and added: stable as is this stage "These abnormalities, remain in the healing process. This stability is a desirable finding.

The scar in the heart muscle wall appears to be firm and of modersize. Fluoroscopic examination indicates that the beat is good and that the muscle action is satisfactory. No Enlargement "The heart shadow, compared with films that were made in prior years and with those that have beer made since the acute attack developed, shows no significant evidence of enlargement." It was the chief executive's first complete checkup in a month. Snyder said that the President probably will not move back into the White House until Congress reconvenes. Under questioning doctors said that size of area inthe jured by the President's heart Regional Deaths Foundation Ellis Lepper AUGUSTA-Ellis Lepper, 89, a retired farmer and lifelong resident of Ross Township, died in a Galesburg nursing home early Saturday morning.

Pageant IL attack was approximately four fifths of an inch, which is about average, they said." Snyder also said he thought it would be inadvisable for the President to deliver his "state of the union" message to Congress in person. He would not say flatly whether he thought the President would ever play golf again, saying that heart specialists differed on the advisability of heart patients playing that game. Defers Question He said he would defer that question to the opinion of heart specialists has consulted.

Dr. Paul Dudley White, the Boston heart expert, who will examine the President again at Gettysburg, Dec. 17, has said previously that it is quite possible the President ultimately can resume playing golf if his progress continues to be satisfactory. On the question of the heart enlargement, Col. Mattingly said that in such cases there 1 is almost.

always some moderate enlargement and that in the president's case it was "minimal." The main burden of Dr. Snyder's view was that he would like to give the President as much time as humanly possible to continue 'his convalescence with a minimum of official burdens. Asked by a reporter if he had suggested to the President that he "slow down" the pace of his activities, Snyder replied that he had done so in recent days. Give Me (Continued from Page One.) That lack was even felt in nearby cities which don't have Sunday editions and depend on the Detroit Sunday newspapers. Ann Arbor was one of the cities in papers that were category.

quickly All out snapped of town Most people went without a Sun- day paper. Sports Promoters Worried Sports promoters were worried. The Detroit Lions said they expected only 45,000 at the final game of the season Sunday. That would be the smallest crowd in two years. The Detroit Red Wings drew 10,391 at Thursday's game watch the Wings play the lastplace Bruins.

That was a good crowd, but officials were worried whether attendance would hold up. Sponsors at the University of Detroit of the Motor City Classic Basketball Tournament Christmas week were worried what would happen if the newspaper strike lasted that long." Christmas shoppers were finding the strike a nuisance, but they were still spending money in record fashion. Sales Remain High Charles E. Boyd, executive director of the Detroit Retail Merchants' said sales will average higher for November and December than a year ago. Larger volume operations -like Sears and Federal Stores were selling well.

Other merchants who depended upon advertising to attract their crowds reported business falling off badly. "At this time of the year, people have the urge to spend," Boyd said. "Lack of advertising isn't going to stop that. In August or March, it would be different. But people have the money now and they're going to spend for Christmas whether there is a newspaper strike or not.

For example, Christmas Club savings paid out this year were the highest on record." Weeklies Boost Run To spend the money, however, shoppers found they had walk farther and shop longer to find what they wanted. Advance preparation by studying ads-or the ideas offered by ads--was out.

Miller, editor and president, said the paper has accepted increased advertising, but has restricted itself to its normal policy. The paper accepts ads from stores which have outlets in its circulation area. Polish Paper Helps Out The paper has carried 48 pages on several occasions, but Miller said the papers are bigger at this time the year normally. He said pages was scheduled for def last week, before the strike. He said the newspaper hasn't tried to sell a lot of newspapers on the streets.

"We are a home-delivered paper and that is the way we are geared to operate," he said. "Our home circulation has increased, of course." The Polish Daily-News in Detroit has started printing an English language edition and has printed as many as 150,000 copies.

They did not completely rule out the possibility of a sex attack, however. The girl's body was discovered about 4:10 a.m. by a bakery truck driver and detectives who had been alerted by the girl's father when the girl failed to reach home. Detectives said there was no of a struggle, but the girl's clothing was disarranged.

The bitter procedural at two extraordinary Saturday sessions was not settled on all of those passing the voting by each country. Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet delegate, unleashed his twin threats during five hours of debate. First, he said the Russians were willing to accept all 18 applicants "without exception," and would take no other plan. This had been expected but his notice was the formal warning.

Next, he opposed a plan by Sir Leslie Munro, New Zealand, and Cyro de Freitas Valle, for the voting procedure. They wanted to have the council vote separately on each country in order of application and then vote as a whole country on the list. In this way, if any Communist country failed to make the grade, the Russians would veto the remaining nonCommunist candidates. Sobolev said he would vote priority for this plan and against the plan itself. This would veto the 18 in one ballot.

'Accidents' Might Happen Nasrollah Entezam, Iran, and Sir Pierson Dixon, Britain, assailed the "mistrust" of the Russians. Dixon said it is "shocking" to hear that Moscow wants to start with a veto.
