Description
Caption: Astronaut Donald K. Slayton will be hospitalized next Monday for exploratory lung surgery. But space officials said Tuesday it was not the result of inhaling gas fumes that seeped into the Apollo craft during splashdown last month. The announcement said a small lesion had been detected in the lower left lung.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
