Next morning appeared three of the neurologists who were called in after his stroke-Georgetown's Dr. Francis M. Forster, Columbia's Dr. H. Houston Merritt, and Walter Reed's Lieut. Colonel Roy E. Clausen Jr. They ordered an electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram, spent 65 minutes studying the results and checking their patient. Verdict at tests' end: the President was completely recovered from the stroke; the defect in his speech...
