there could be a considerable back lash he said Eagleton told reporters on a flight to Los Angeles that time will tell how the public reacts to his disclosure that he hospitalized himself in 1964 and 1966 because of nervous exhaustion and fa tigue Later he scheduled a news conference for today and said he would answer additional questions on his treatments If Eagleton should eventually leave the
