'""ffTH Doctors Find Ike Improved, Not Yet Well President Still Plans To Go to Florida to I Shake Off Ills By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH WASHINGTON W-A new phy lical examination at Walter Heed Army Hospital shows President Eisenhower's condition is "im proved." the White House doctor says. But he still has not recovered completely from a cough, a head cold and an ear ailment, and so he "still hopes and expects" to get away to Florida later In the week in an effort to clear up those troubles. The ailments were de scribed as "slight." That was the gist of reports from Eisenhower's physician MaJ. Gen. Howard Mcc. Snydor and his press secretary .lames C. Hagerly after the President re turned from an hour's checkup at Walter Reed yesterday. It was his second visit to the hospital in less than a month. He went there Feb. 21 for a checkup on a lingering cough, the after math of a cold which Snyder said he caught in January. Last week, with the cough still hanging on, Eisenhower devel oped a new head cold and inflam mation of the eustachian tube in the left ear. The ear trouble made it temporarily difficult for him to hear. The new checkup included X rays, which Hagerty said showed the chest and lungs are clear. Eisenhower has made tentative clans to go to Florida tor some sun and exercise in advance of March 21-24 talks at Bermuda with British Prime Minister Har old Macmlllnn. ,' , A new appearance has been given these three bus., incsses on Court street.

Solons Try to Curb Japanese Plywood Sales WASHINGTON M Establish ment of annual import quotas for hardwood plywood and veneer was urged Wednesday by Sens Talmadgc (D-Ga) and Thurmond (U-sci. They offered a bill to fix im ports of these materials at 15 per cent of the nation s consumption. The Tariff Commission would be required to fix the quotas annual ly on the basis of the previous year's consumption. Similar bills to limit imports of hardwood plywood lo 15 per cent of the previous year's consump tion were readied for introduction Wednesday by four Northwest Re publicans Reps. Norblod (Ore.) and Mock, Tollefson and West Innd, all of Washington. The congressmen said their pro posals would reduce such, imports, most of which come from Japan, to about one-third their present level. Last year's hardwood plywood Imports totaled 695 million square feet. Under tho quota restriction, this would be reduced to 225 mil lion square (cel. The three Washington members predicted the quota restriction would provide a "shot in the arm" to the Pacific Coast ply wood Industry where many plants have curlniled production because of a falling market demand. Norblad said Japanese imports several years ago "were at a rea sonable level" where the Japan ese were given an export market without materially affecting Amer ican production. At tho present time, he said, imports from Japan account for 40 per cent ol the domestic con sumption. Continued imports at this rate, he said, "will very ma terially injure our local mills.

Stassen Goes To London on Final Mission Disarm Talks Expected To Be Swan Song of Cabinet Aide WASHINGTON UH - Harold E. Stassen leaves today for London and talks which may be his swan song as President Eisenhower's special assistant for disarmament. He is representing the United States at a meeting of the United Nations Disarmament Commis sion's subcommittee. There have been persistent reports that he plans to quit his post when that meeting ends. ... ' Stassen denied these reports March 1, but at the same time, he declined to comment on other reports that he is thinking about running for governor of Pennsyl vania next year. At 50, Stassen is both a young man -politically and a veteran politician. Aside from carrying on his disarmament responsibilities, ho is known to be wrestling wilh a personal decision on his politi cal future. . His friends say he has not yet decided whether to run for Re publican nomination as governor of Pennsylvania or slay on as Eisenhower's disarmament aide in some ' other Washington capacity. Stassen. onetime "boy" gover nor of Minnesota and later presi dent of the University of Pennsyl-. vania, long has nurtured presiden tial ambitions. He fell out of political favor j amone Eisenhower administra-! lion faithful last year. He fought i virtually a one-man campaign to ! knock Vice President Nixon off the Eisenhower ticket. His effort was a resounding failure. Since then, his disarmament I office has been moved into the State Department, and although he retains his title he takes policy direction (rom Secretary Dulles ralhcr than consulting directly with Eisenhower. lie's Robert Strom, whose knowledge of chemistry, physics, astrophysics, astronomy and other sciences is astounding. Robert gave an example of his genius Tuesday night by collect ing the top prize on CBS' "The $64,000 Question" to qualify f o r what the network calls "the world's biggest" TV quiz show prize. 1 Young Strom fielded four tricky questions to win the $64,000 prize. One example: The French astron omer Messier calculated, by num ber, different star clusters and nebulae. To what did he assign the number 13? He reeled off the answer promptly; Great star cluster in Hercules. The other three ques tions were equally hard, but Rob ert answered them with ease. Just a few hours prior to the show, the sponsor, a cosmetics firm, announced that $1)4,0110 would no longer be the top prize. Any one reaching that figure, they said, qualified to try and double, triple and quadruple his winnings to $256,000. The reason for boosting the prize, a spokesman said, was that "The $64,000 Question", had fallen behind a competitor.

Ike Often Plays Bridge in Second Floor Study WASHINGTON (UP)-The (our men sat around a small table in the second door study of the While House, their demeanor solemn, their concentration absolute. Finally one broke the silence. "Pass." said the President o! the United Slates. Then the slightest of grins passed over the face of Mr. Ei senhower for he had succeeded again in his favorite tactic of getting his bridge opponents out on a limb. The hand was played in one no trump and the President's opponents went down six tricks which is about as bad a shellack ing as you can take in a bridge hand. It happened not many nights ago at one ot the frequent bridge ses ions that the President enjoys with his close friends. Mr. Elsenhower is so well known as a golfer that It Is seldom re alized he is not only a far better bridge player than a golfer but that he comes close to the cham pionship class in the card game. A friend and fellow player ot the President was askeil by the United Press whal kind of game Mr. Eisenhower plays. He told about the no trump hand ns an il lustration and then went on: One ot llrsl "The President plays one of the best games I've ever seen. He has the three qualities essential (or brdgo a mathematical mind, an excellent memory and a complete gift of concentration. I would say lie and General Grunenlher (who DENNIS THE MENACE -llv Krlrht is one of the tuition's top plnym) are of annul the same caliber. Is he an ajiwesslvc or defensive bridge player? "Well, like everybody he de limits in KeltinK a big hand and Kin ni: to name or slam, nut he is the kind of player who Rets even a hither kick out of ..inking the most of poor funis and setting his opponents, "Some of the people he plays with have the common failing of overeonfidenee and reading more value into nanus than they have and he is quick to take advant-1 a Re of It. Is he a Goren or a Culbertson man? "Oh. he knows all the widely played systems. But he usually plays Goren because that is what most of us play. He is certainly not a reckless bidder and seldom a psychic bidder." Most Frequent Players The President's most frequent bndiie cronies are tJruenther; tieoige Allen, William K. Hot. i it son, president of Coco Cola; Treas ury Secretary C.eorge M. Humph rey and Clifford Moberts. New York investment hanker. They in terehange as partners. They play for small point stakes and occasionally make side bets when a rubber geU hot. A great deal of good-natured banter is ex changed between hands but the playing is serious. The games in the evening usually last only a couple of hours but on Saturdays or Sundays, particularly at Aug usta or Gettysburg, they may start in the afternoon, break for dinner and resume in the evening. Mr. Kisenhower has plaeyd for many years. Like so ninny Army officers he learned the game early and played in service clubs around the world. Mrs. Kisenhower also is a good bridge player but most of her women friends prefer canasta or some other game.
