He continued to take anticoagulant drugs, held to a low-fat diet, but felt free to wander into the kitchen of his Gettysburg farm to order "nice fresh corn" for lunch.

At week's end he released another report stating that the impact of the steel strike "has been severe and is expected to be felt increasingly in weeks to come." The number of jobless workers in steel-related industries has risen to about 125,000-60% in railroads and coal mining-and 75,000 of them have applied for unemployment aid.
