A hospital spokesman said Nixon was immediately put in an adjusta ble hospital bed after arriving home. Rest and nonstressful activities are the key to Nixon s convales cence, said his doctor, John C. Lun- gren. Hospital spokesmen would not release Nixon s bill, but it was reli ably reported to total at least $10,000—which Nixon must pay out of his own already-beleaguered finances because he does not have insurance.

There was no immediate word when the three doctors would ar rive. All internationally known car diovascular specialists, they were appointed by U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica on Wednesday to de termine within 15 days whether Nixon is well enough to give tes timony in the coverup trial of five of his former political associates. When Sirica appointed the team, Lungren said they would be wel comed. But the doctor said Thurs day he believed their examination would cause the former chief execu tive stress and bring a marked rise in blood pressure. A rise in blood pressure, com bined with the blood-thinning an ticoagulant drug the 61-year-old former president is taking for phlebitis, would mean “the chance of a hemorrhage is magnified,” Lungren said. “But I have no control over it. That’s the court’s physicians,” Lun gren added. Anticoagulants make the body prone to easy bleeding. They led to the severe bleeding that Nixon suf fered after blood clot surgery Oct. 29. Lungren revealed during the news conference at Memorial Hos pital Medical Center of Long Beach that another operation had been contemplated to stop the postopera tive bleeding, which ultimately was stopped by blood transfusions. Nixon had experienced dramatic blood pressure increases this week “at times of physical and nonphysi cal stress. It was 140 over 90 at the time of his discharge, Lungren said. Normal for Nixon is 130 over 70. Both Lungren and Nixon’s surgeon. Dr. Eldon B. Hickman, ducked questions on whether the expected visit of the doctors, Nixon’s resignation or other prob lems had caused the increases. “Obviously, there is some stress from being sick, being in the hospi tal,” said Hickman. Hickman told the news confer ence that neither he nor Lungren had yet been contacted by the court-appointed doctors nor have they been asked their opinions on how to carry out the examination. “I would assume they would properly contact us...if we were asked our opinion, we would have something to say about it,” the surgeon said. He said he believed the visit “is unnecessary. But I’m not defensive about it.” A HARVARD MBA? Discuss the Master in Business Administration Program with an Admissions Representative from the Harvard Business School. MONDAY, 18 NOVEMBER OFFICE OF CAREER PLACEMENT Both doctors said they doubted Nixon will have to be readmitted to the hospital for further treatment. Meanwhile in Washington, Dr. Charles A. Hufnagel, head of Sirica’s medical team and chief of surgery at Georgetown University, said he could not say when he and the other doctors would leave for San Clemente. No courses or areas of concentration are required for admis sion. He said it would probably take about two days to examine Nixon and consult with his doctors. The other two doctors named by Sirica are Drs. John A. Spitell Jr. of the Mayo Clinic of Rochester, Minn., and Richard Starr Ross of Johns Hopkins University. Hope telegrams victorious Bears WACO, Tex. (AP) — The Baylor Bears, who shocked the University of Texas 34-24 Saturday in a South west Conference game Saturday, received a telegram of congratula tions Tuesday from one of their boosters — comedian Bob Hope. Hope, who is not a Baylor graduate, said: “Congratulations on a great game. I may need Neal Jef frey and the rest of the Baylor Bears to run interference for me if my jokes aren’t good next Friday at the Heart O’Texas Coliseum.” Hope will be at a benefit perfor mance before the Baylor-Texas Tech game, with proceeds going to the Baylor Student Foundation Scholarship Fund.

If you are like most college-age drivers, you buy auto insurance through the company that writes your parent’s policy. Most companies insist on the “supporting” business from your parents to offset the theoretically greater risk of insuring you. If you want to handle your own insurance business — without checking with your parents — the usual practice is to “rate you up” — to charge extra for the coverage. Now that’s all changed. We are exclusive representa tives for a company specializing in insurance for driver age 18-25. Male or female. Single or married. Occa sional operator or owner of a vehicle. Cost for this special 18-25 coverage is based on stan dard rates (the same cost to you as going through your parent’s company) — provided you have no more than three minor traffic violations in the past three years. Get the details — without cost or obligation — from Charles McDaniel or Lee Hensley. You’ll like doing busi ness with these guys before you write them a check. And you’ll like doing business with them even better — if they ever need to write you one. WESTERN INSURANCE ASSOCIATES 1848 Greenfield Plaza / P.O.
