The President Takes Command After Emergency Operation
Within two days of President Eisenhower's emergency operation he appeared recovered and ready to campaign. White House staff returned to duties at Walter Reed within 30 hours, signaling a normal campaign pace. Doctors said health would not bar a second term, while some labor leaders doubted his ability and explored a possible Democrat alternative. The key question remains whether the President will run if he can do the job.
