The first lady, who joined the President at breakfast, gave Mr. Eisenhower a complete report from people at the farm. She had just lulked by long distance tele phone with the Gettysburg estab lishment, where the President likely will spend his convalescent period. However, Press Secretary James C.

In Good Spirits Hagerty said no final decision has been made. The President awoke in good spirits after a full night's sleep and spent a day of comparative quiet, visiting with his family and enjoying his usual outing in the sun. i The President scheduled a lunch eon visit with his brother.
