(UPI) - Sat isfactory progress in his recov ery from bullet wounds and then a blood clot in his right leg will allow Gov. John Connally to go home from the hospital this aft ernoon. The Texas Governor shot by President Kennedy's assassin, was reported Saturday by his doctors at St. David's hospital to be making a good response to treatment for the blood clot. An indirect result of the wounds, the blood clot formed in the superficial vein In his right calf where a tube was in serted to feed Connally intra venously. He will continue to undergo medical treatment for that com plication at the two-story man sion near the state capitol. His doctors said the Governor must remain in bed through next week but fewer injections to dis solve the clot and blood tests will be necessary. St. Davis's is the second hos pital the Governor has used as his headquarters for the state government. Taken to Parkland hospital in Dallas immediately after the Nov. 22 shooting, Con nally underwent surgery for wounds from a single bullet that hit him in the back, passed through his chest, broke his right wrist and then landed in his left thigh.
