LBJ suffers chest pains, enters hospital
SAN ANTONIO (UPI) —Former President Lyndon B. Johnson, who left the White House for a life of ease on his Texas ranch, entered Brooke General Hospital Monday suffering chest pains.
His wife, Lady Bird, was at his bedside.
The 36th President suffered a heart attack when he was a U.S. senator. He complained of pains in his chest 10 days ago.
Dr. J. Willis Hurst, Johnson's heart specialist, said weekend tests showed "minor change" in the former President's electrocardiogram and "there is no evidence of any recent heart attacks."
A statement released by Johnson's office in Austin, Tex., said:
"However, President Johnson has experienced considerable discomfort in his chest over the weekend and as a precautionary move, Dr. Hurst and Dr. William H. Moncrief Jr., commanding general of Brooke General Hospital, felt it advisable for him to enter the hospital for treatment."
Johnson, 61, a robust 6-3, 20-pounder, often bragged of his formula for success. He gave it in two words: "hard work."
Those two words almost cost him his life 15 years ago when he suffered a heart attack in Washington that kept him idle for six
Meningitis scare hits St. Louis high school
ST. LOUIS (UPI)—The state's largest high school had extra nurses on duty Monday after one of its teachers contracted meningitis.
Mrs. Burman Dyer, 22, an English teacher at McCluer High School, was in critical condition at St. Louis County Hospital. She entered the hospital Saturday after visiting her husband, who is in basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo.
The Army base reported 17 cases of meningitis during February and said that three soldiers have died from the disease. An Army spokesman denied that new recruits are being worked to exhaustion or that those who ask to go on sick call are being harassed However, Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton, D-Mo., and Rep. James Symington, D-Mo., have called for an investigation.
Mrs. Dyer visited her husband Feb. 22 and was exposed to the students and teachers at McCluer last week before entering the hospital. McCluer has 4,100 students.
"Mostly what the extra nurses are doing is answering the telephones and trying to explain the situation to panicky parents," a school spokesman said.

UN fellow studies oil engineering
A senior oil field development engineering student, Braj Nandan, is attending the University of Kansas as a United Nations fellow under the office of technical cooperation of the United Nations.
A native of India, Nandan came here the first of February and will be studying mathematical modeling of petroleum and water reservoirs, an area in which the University department of petroleum engineering has attained international recognition.
He will develop computer programs to predict the future production performances of oil fields and use his modeling methods on oil fields in India.

months. He later described that heart attack as "bad as a man can have and still live."
Johnson had no further heart trouble, but during his presidency he had two serious operations.
On Oct. 8, 1965, he underwent gall bladder and kidney stone surgery and a year later had double surgery for a throat condition and an abdominal hernia.
Johnson summoned photographers after the gall bladder operation for a memorable picture of him pointing to the scar.
Johnson has lived on his LBJ ranch near Johnson City in central Texas since he left the White House in January, 1969.
"These are the kind of days and nights I choose to have," he told friends last month on the first
anniversary of his retirement from public office.
Johnson entered the San Antonio Hospital Monday at 1:15 p.m. CST.
"This is something I've never been able to do before," said the man who ran for his first elective office 33 years ago. "I do just what I want to do but sometimes Mrs. Johnson intervenes."
An unidentified telephone caller informed police at 6:50 a.m. that the sample would be placed in a mail box. It was later picked up by police and FBI agents.
Stolen moon dust returned
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — A small vial of moon dust stolen from a display at a fund-raising dinner during the weekend was returned anonymously Monday.
The tiny vial of moon dust was taken Saturday night while two off-duty policemen watched over $25,000 worth of diamonds on another floor of Bullock's department store.
The two-inch long glass tube, containing 2.3 grams of the gravel, disappeared from a pedestal while hundreds of guests enjoyed a $100-a-plate buffet on the floor below.
Police Chief Edward M. Davis said the location of the mail box where the vial was recovered would not be revealed at the present time.
"This is a valuable piece of investigative information to confirm or eliminate suspects and the investigation continues," Davis said.
The returned sample was analyzed and authenticated by Dr. George Weatherill, the UCLA geologist to whom the dust was entrusted for scientific research
The sample was loaned by UCLA to the Saul Winstein and Doheny Eye Foundation for the charity fund-raising affair. A spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said such public display of lunar material must be cleared through the agency and its records indicated such a request had not been made.
