Health Issue ■ Dragged Out By Democrats , LOS ANGELES <UPD — Political agents pf Sen. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson dragged the health issue today into the pre-convention contest of these two rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. Kennedy’s convention headquarters issued a medical report to back up its statement that the Massaschusetts senator’s physicians had found him “in excellent health and with a normal life expectancy-’' a By its action, the Kennedy cajnp in effect invited Johnson to do the same. Kennedy and Johnson are rated in that order in early ballot strength among Democrats contesting tor the presidential nomination at the national convention opening here next Monday. Health — Political Issue The health of candidates has been a political issue getting increased attention since President Eisenhower campaigned, for reelection after a 1955 heart attack. It erupted in the Democratic pre-convention campaign Monday from a remark made by Kennedy at his New York news conference replying to former President Truman’s anti-Kennedy statement last Saturday. Answering criticism of his youth, the 43-year-old Kennedy said health and vigor were needed in the White House. And he referred to the illnesses suffered by recent presidents. John B. Connally, chairman, and India Edwards, vice chairman of the Johnson tor President Committee, held a news conference here soon thereafter. They were asked if they regarded Kennedy’s remark as an ablique jab at Johnson, 51-year-old Senate majority leader, who suffered a heart attack in 1955. Accept Medical Challenge They replied they would be glad to match Johnson’s medical record against Kennedy’s history of ■ Addison’s disease. Connally also referred to Kennedy’s long absence from the Senate in 1954 when the Massachusetts senator underwent operations for a back injury. ■■■■■■■.—■• - Mrs. Edwards said it was no disgrace to have Addison’s disease but that she was wary of Kennedy’s — “muscle flexing” to show that “he is in better health than anyone else.” / Robert F. Kennedy, brother and campaign adviser of the senator, called another news conference four hours later. He said the senator never “had an ailment described classically as Addison’s disease, which is a tuberculous destruction of the adrenal gland.” ? Admit 'Hellers' Free To Drive-In Show • If your name is “Heller” yew. will be admitted free to see th«> Technicolor comedy-western, "Heller in Pink Tights” now showing at the Drive-in theater.
