Nixon checks into hospitalLONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) —

Former President Richard M. Nixon, ashen-faced and refusing comment on his health, checked into a hospital here Monday for treatment of blood clots in his left leg.

Accompanied by his wife, Pat, and his youngest daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, Nixon walked into the Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach, slipping past all but a few reporters.

He came through a back exit, having been driven from his San Clemente villa in a four-car motorcade minutes after Secret Service men cleared the sixth floor where he will be staying.

Asked by a reporter how he felt, Nixon smiled and said, “Good afternoon.”

Pressed by another newsman about his health, Nixon, dressed in a suit and tie, ignored the question and walked into an elevator.

It was believed Nixon would begin diagnostic tests immediately.

Nixon s doctor was expected to brief reporters later in the day.

Nixon staff members who normally handle communications arrangements for the former President were at the hospital.

Before Nixon’s arrival, private security men were guarding his room and hospital workers were told not to divulge any information about flowers, cards or what Nixon will be eating.

The sixth-floor west wing of Memorial Hospital Medical Center of Long Beach was closed except to visitors seeing patients. Ten rooms there have been set aside while Nixon is treated for two painful blood clots in his left leg and his chronic plebitis.

The guards, hired by the hospital, screened visitors and patrolled the wing.

Secret Service agents also were on duty.

“We don’t know when he’s coming, though we’ve been told it’ll be today,” said Karen Krantz, a hospital press aide.

It was speculated that Nixon would fly by helicopter from his San Clemente villa 50 miles to the south.

Ron Ziegler, Nixon’s former press secretary and now his chief aide, was quoted as telling hospital officials, “I want nothing released about the number of flowers and cards sent to Mr. Nixon during his hospital stay or what he is eating.”

Ziegler also ordered that flowers and cards be held for him instead of being delivered to Nixon.

Officials said numerous get well cards, four telegrams and bouquets of bright fall flowers already had arrived.

Dr. John C. Lungren, Nixon’s physician, was reported by his receptionist at midday to be treating patients in his office near the hospital. He made his usual early morning hospital rounds, the receptionist said. Lungren would not talk to newsmen.

Nixon has two $90-a-day rooms, one of which will be occupied by Secret Service officials. On Sunday, the hospital ordered another eight rooms cleared of patients, but officials said Nixon would be billed for only two rooms.

Four additional telephones, plus a direct line to Nixon’s San Clemente home, have been installed in the gold-colored rooms. Like others on the wing, the rooms have remote control color TV sets built into the wall and bulletin boards where get well cards and telegrams can be tacked up.

A sixth-floor nurse said several other patients were in the 19-room wing where Nixon is staying, but it was not known exactly how many.

Come By And Look

The hospital, the largest non-government, nonprofit medical center on the West Coast, was 79 per cent full — 587 patients for 747 beds, a hospital official said.

A stay of three days or more was expected for Nixon, who is reported to have two painful blood clots in veins of his left thigh caused by phlebitis, a vein inflammation.

His leg is said to be swollen and causing much discomfort.

According to the hospital

schedule, Nixon was to go directly to his room. Hospital personnel would take blood and urine samples there and do other diagnostic procedures.

He was expected to undergo intravenous treatment with anticoagulant drugs. Such treatment thins the blood, reduces the chances of more clots and aids in keeping the two clots from breaking and lodging in Nixon’s lungs or heart, usually quickly fatal.

Aggies win Chilympiad

Four TAMU students won the Chilympiad at San Marcos Sunday.

Mark Rankin, James Breedlove, Hazel Campbell and Roger Riley returned with three kegs of beer as the first place prize. They represented TAMU in the Collegiate Division.

“It’s an old family secret,” said Rankin when asked for the recipe.

About 10 other teams, mostly from Southwest Texas State University, were competing.
