Roosevelt In Fine Health for Second Term Says Physician

Admiral Ross T. McIntire said President Franklin D. Roosevelt is physically fit for any tasks in a possible second term. He noted normal pulse and blood pressure, good appetite, and steady weight around 184 to 188 pounds, with regular swimming and exercise keeping his nerve and muscle tone. Roosevelt, 57, has faced extensive national and international crises, yet remains buoyant and optimistic, with a preference for terrapin and seafood, and he rests best aboard the presidential yacht.

Ulysses Whale Factory Case Turbulent Amid War

In New York a federal judge sought to untangle the affairs of the whale factory ship Ulysses and its 200 Norwegian sailors during wartime. The ship owned by Western Spermline is in a Brooklyn drydock with 81 million in whale oil aboard. Sailors seek cash for personal needs as wages lag due to extended voyage and neutrality laws limit return to Norway. The company reports partial wage payments to families and advances for clothing, while final settlements hinge on ongoing legal constraints.
