William Alexander McDiar- mid, 43, a trapper, and his wife Maggie, 25, were reported in 'good condition Tuesday after being flown here.

Bush pflot Bob Harrison said he was supposed to meet the couple, but found a note on their cabin door saying they had "gone to get sleigh dogs."

The doctors said the weak- ness showed signs of improve- ment. The report of weakness in his left limbs aroused speculation that the 74 . year - old Indian leader might have suffered a stroke. However, some medical experts--who have not treated Nehru -- said there could be other explanations, Nehru, here for the annual meeting of his ruling Congress party, was ordered to bed Tues- day. His doctors said he was suffering from weakness and high blood pressure. The first announcement of Nehru's illness Tuesday said his doctors had advised him to take a complete rest and accept o engagements for two weeks. Later "two weeks" was changed to "for the present." But after visiting Nehru, Ku- maraswami Kamaraj Nadar, the Congress party president, indicated the prime minister might be back on the job in another day. He told a party session Nehru was "in excellent health and excellent spirits," and wanted to attend today's session, but the doctors advised at least one... . An official bulletin said Nehru who was almost singlehandedly carried the burdens of India since independence in 1947, had been under heavy strain be- cause of a hectic round of offi- cial engagements during the last few weeks. After his illness was an- nounced, there was consideér- 3rd Delivery Of 'Atom Warheads able speculation he might de- cide to give up power, at least temporarily, if his health failed to improve. In any case, it was almost certain he would be forced to miss several critical party debates during the con- vention, which drew some 3,000 delegates. Since March, 1962, when he suffered a serious illness, Nehru has appeared to age by 10 or 20 years. Although officials in- sist there is nothing vitally wrong with him; outside medi- cal men have speculated that he sufferes from hardening of the arteries, common in men his age. His doctors have declined the strongest civil rights bill in 100 years, enactment of a mas- steps toward int and selective increases in overtime pay rates.
