Ski Jump Campaigning
Edward discovered that the

himself at a Wisconsin ski meet

posed to take part in the jump

not a jumper. he demurred as
he looked at a ski jump he con-
Sidered more than worthy of
Olympic contestants.
He was provided with jump
ing skis and shoes and was
persuaded to try the top hill.
He negotiated this faster than
he had ever skied before and
then was lured to the top of
the jump
Two jumpers went off and
then the loud speaker an
nounced that Edward would be
next.
With a roll of Marine drums
and before 10000 spectators,
Edward found himself going
down the jump without know

on his feet and sped down the
hill as the crowd cheered an

ranks with such politicians as
Gov. Abraham Ribicoft OF
Connecticut are professors
from Harvard, the Senator's
alma mater, and other univer-
sites, and specialists in many
fields from private business
and research organizations.
The driving force behind the
organization is the 42-year-old
Senator, who would become
the second youngest man ever
to occupy the White House If
he should win the nomination
and the election.

mary campaign, and his sister,
Mrs. Sargent Shriver, jr., OF
Chicago campaigned for a day
or two with the Senator in Wis

Mr.. Sorenson's responsibilities
range widely. He has a hand
in policy decisions. directs
much of the Senator's office
