Hand-Shaking Hand of President Goes Lame Following Much Use
WASHINGTON, March 17 (AP). -President Coolidge was required to apply bandages today to a lame right wrist and hand, the cause of which remains somewhat of a mystery at the White House. Everett Sanders, his secretary said the wrist and hand had been bothering the president for several days and when it became swollen today Mr. Coolidge was advised by his physician, Dr. James F. Coupal, to apply bandages.
The president was able to use his hand, however, to sign the numerous papers which came to his attention and appeared not to be suffering any pain.
It was believed that the lameness was caused by the continuous handshaking in which the president must indulge.
