Examination Report on President Roosevelt by Dr. Howard Bruenn
March 27, 1944
Memorandum to Captain Harper:
Fluoroscopy and X-ray of the heart show a distinct increase in the size of the cardiac shadow as measured in the anterior posterior position. The contractions along the left border in this view are limited, although more vigorous pulsations are noted posteriorly in the left anterior oblique positions. The enlargement of the heart is mainly of the left ventricle. The great vessel shadow has also increased in size. This enlargement is apparently due to a diffusely dilated and torturous sorts and includes the ascending, arch, and thoracic portions.
In view of the continued low grade pulmonary infection, cough and dyspnea on effort it is suggested that these symptoms might well be aggravated by, or due to, the presence of early left ventricular failure with engorgement of the pulmonary vessels.
Therapy suggested:
Rest with nursing case for a period of 1-2 weeks.
Digitalization. ¾ gram digitalis every day for 5 days; subsequently /1 gram every day.
A light easily digestible diet, Portions are to be small and salt intake is to be restricted. Potassium Chloride in a salt shaker may be used as desired for seasoning.
Sedation should be employed, to insure rest and a refreshing night’s sleep.

Recess may delay G.I. Bill
Washington (UP) –
House leaders held only slim hope today that the Senate-approved “G.I. Bill of Rights” would reach the House floor before the Eastern Congressional holiday beginning Thursday.
The measure, a veterans’ omnibus bill which provides total benefits unofficially estimated at $4 billion, is now the subject of hearings before the House World War Veterans Legislation Committee. Representatives of veterans’ groups testified today.
Brig, Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Administration, endorsed the measure yesterday with one major exception recommending elimination of a $500-million veterans’ hospital construction item.
He predicted a peak hospitalization of 288,000 veterans in 1970. He estimated that 120,000 veterans would be hospitalized by 1950.
