Washington, D.C.: James Hagerty, White House press secretary is shown conferring with President Eisenhower at the start of the president's news conference yesterday. The chief executive told newsmen he will enter Walter Reed Army Hospital today (Thursday) for a two night stay and a "head-to-toe" physical checkup. The examination is the same as those taken annually for at least the last ten years and has no significance and no connection with his attack of last September, the White House said.
