Eisenhower Stricken With Cold In Walter Reed Stay

The illness interrupted his campaign schedule and prevented attendance at Herbert Hoover's funeral services in New York. Eisenhower traveled to the hospital in an Army vehicle and is noted to have no pneumonia signs and a very good heart after a 1955 heart attack.
