Tired but Healthy

The U.S. can expect a series of public appearances by Franklin Roosevelt in the near future. White House intimates are urging the move because of the fantastic rumors about the President's health that have sprung up since he left for his southern vacation (He had been rushed to the Mayo Clinic. He is suffering from anemia. Three psychiatrists went south with him). Similar whispers arose in '36 and '40, but this time the White House coterie is more worried. Reason: Democratic politicians are beginning to wonder if the President may refuse to run for a Fourth Term because of his health.

Franklin Roosevelt has not had a good winter. Like practically everyone else in Washington, he has had his colds, his touches of sinus, flu, bronchitis. But after Teheran, Rear Admiral Ross T. McIntire, the President's physician, took his patient firmly in hand. Since then the President has rarely missed his two swims a week, has been trying to lighten his 16-hour day. Dr. McIntire now declares the President in good shape. This week Mrs. Roosevelt announced that it would be "a week or so" before he returns to Washington, because, though he looked well when she saw him the week before, his doctors wanted him to stay on vacation "until he really completes his rest."
