Eisenhower's brisk pace despite stroke recovery continues
Nine days after his stroke President Eisenhower remains active at the White House with a 9 to 10 hour day of meetings and briefings. White House press secretary James Hagerty said no further medical bulletins will be issued though recovery is not yet declared complete. Eisenhower spent the day at his office, presided over a defense and foreign policy briefing, and returned to work after lunch and a rest prescribed after his 1955 heart attack. He appeared natural and chipper, planning an extended weekend at his Gettysburg farm.
