Six Months Set to Guage
Senate Leader's Future
Senator Lyndon Johnson,
Democrat of Texas, is showing
Improvement from the heart at
tack he suffered Saturday, but
still is in serious condition, an
attending physician said today.
Dr. James C. Cain of the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester, Minn., met
with reporters at Senator John
son’s office and gave details on
the nature and possible effects
of the illness of the Senate
Democratic leader.
Earlier the Naval Medical Cen
ter, where Senator Johnson is
a patient, said he was “progress
ing satisfactorily.”
Frowns on Campaigning
Dr. Cain said it might be six
months before it can be deter
mined if Senator Johnson can
ever resume his duties as Demo
cratic leader or engage in further
rigorous political campaigning.
Regarding heavy campaigning,
Dr. Cain made it clear he thinks
Senator Johnson should not do
that even if the Senator feels
he can do it.
He said Senator Johnson did
not appear in too serious condi
tion upon arrival at the Bethesda
Naval Hospital, but the exertion
in getting him to a room led to
shoek and drop in blood pres
sure. His condition then became
critical.
“Only through the efforts of
some very excellent doctors who
saw him then is he here with
us now,” Dr. Cain add&d.
Senator Johnson suffered the
attack while driving Saturday
afternoon to Middleburg, Pa.,
about 50 miles from Washing

ton, to visit the farm home of a
friend, George Brown, Houston, 1
Tex., industrialist.
Dr. Cain described the attack
as a coronary occlusion with a 1
“severe .to moderately severe
myocardial infraction,” meaning
damage to heart muscle. He said
it will take several months to
determine how well the damage,
from a clot blocking the coro
nary artery, is being repaired.
Personal Friend
Complete rest and freedom
from care and worry about Sen
ate activities and politics will
be necessary for the Senator for
the next few weeks, said Dr.
Cain.
The physician is a personal
friend of the Democratic leader
and a fellow Texan. He is on
the Mayo Clinic staff as a gas
trointestinal specialist.
Dr. Cain emphasized that he
came hA-e because of hfs per
sonal relationship with the Sen
ator, and said he had called the
news conference at Senator
Johnson's request. He said Dr.
Howard Burchell of Mayo Clinic,
whom he described as a world
famous heart specialist, had
flown here and attended Benator
Johnson Sunday.
Senator Johnson is to remain
in the Naval Hospital for about
: a month, then after a month
i more of rest at his Washington
i home, he may be permitted to
return to his Texas ranch for
> further rest and relaxation.
r Dr. Cain’s report added con
, siderable detail to brief bulletins

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Tough Code Still Holds:
On Heat-Wave Lay-Offs:
By JOSEPH YOUNG
The Government's formula governing the heat dismissal of
Pederal employes in non-air-conditioned buildings is Just as
tough this year as it’s been the last few years.
The minimum factors for dismissal must be 95 degrees heat
and 55 per cent humidity. The other combinations permitting
gaaswa vw pv* wu* _
dismissal of employes in non
air-cooled buildings are 96 <
degrees and 52 per cent, 97 and i
49. 98 and 45. 99 and 42 and
100 and 38. etc. f
Otherwise, employes taking the t
afternoon off must have it
charged to their annual leave.
If an employe actually becomes i
ill from the heat and is excused j
for that purpose, sick leave may t
be used. s
*** * j
RETIRED EMPLOYES—!
Chairman Johnston of the Sen- >
ate Civil Service Committee has
sponsored a bill to give the
Government’s retired employes a i
pension increase of $360 or 33 |
per cent, whichever is the lesser, i
Senator Johnston has asked the j
administration for an immedl- 1
ate report of its attitude on the I
measure. If the administration I
shows the slightest tendency to I
support a higher pension, Bena- (
tor Johnston plans to hold quick
hearings. If the administration I
turns thumbs down on a pen-1
sion increase, then hearings I
probably will not be held this I
year, since, in this case the legis- <
lation would not have much I
chance of enactment. Senator ‘
Johnston says he is hoping that I
the administration will support
a pension raise for the retirees. l

INSURANCE POLICIES PRO
TECTION—The Senate has ap
proved the bill to protect the life
'insurance policies of 150,000
present and former Federal em
ployes held in employe benefi
cial associations.
Many of these groups are going
out of business, since they can’t
compete with the Government’s
low-cost Insurance program for
Federal employes. The bill ap
proved by the Senate would pro
tect the policies held in these
associations by present and
former Federal workers. The
Government would take these
policies over and the employes
would continue to pay their pres
District Sizzles;
Showers Likely
Washington sweltered through
another sizzler today, with a high
of 95 degrees forecast. No relief
is in sight.
Scattered afternoon and eve
ning thundershowers were fore
cast for today and tomorrow.
Tonight’s low temperature is ex
pected to be about 74.
An Arlington housewife died
shortly after noon yesterday in
Alexandria Hospital. Police said
an autopsy showed heat prostra
tion was the cause. They identi
fied her as Mrs. Adele Love, 42,
of 2200 South Culpepper street,
mother of two sons, 18 and 14.
Bhe had a reported temperature
of 108, degrees when brought to
the hospital.
The storm dropped an oak
tree across Marlboro pike on the
outskirts of Upper Marlboro. The
tree pulled down eight power
lines and the area was blacked
out three hours. Traffic was
detoured.
Lightning struck a number of
television aerials in Northeast
Washington and Prince Georges
County. A bolt started a 87,500
blaze under the roof of the home
of Mr. and Mrs. David Chase,
7411 Foster street, District
Heights, firemen reported.
In Manassas. Va.. a lightning
bolt killed William E. Thornton,
43, colored, of Ashburn, Va.
Three other men standing
nearby suffered multiple burns
or bruises, with one of them,
Edwin Insco, 18, of Yorkshire,
Va., being thrown about 15 feet.
Also injured were Frank Smith,
30, of Manassas, and Weldon
Shull, 31, of Vienna, Va. All
were temporarily paralyzed, and
were given oxygen treatment at
the scene by the Yorkshire and
Manassas Rescue Squads and
then taken to the Medical Cen
ter.
The bolt cracked down from
one of the many thunderstorms
that pounded the borders of the
District.
