JFK's Old
Office
RennOdeIed
BY ]. f. TER HORST

North American Newspaper Alliance
President Kennedy wouldn't
recognize his old Senate Of
flee suite any more. It has O
new tenant, Michigan's SEN
tor Hart, and Mrs. Hart,
doesn't share Mrs. Kennedy'S
yen for New England decor.
We're doing it in Danish
m o d ern motif" Mrs. Hart
said.
Until Mr.. Kennedy moved
into the White House in jan
uary, Senate Suite 1852 was
virtually'the headquarters for
the New Frontier. It was the
site from which the PreSi-
dent launched his bid for the
Democratic nomination last
summer and the hub Of his
campaigning after that. Fol-
lowing the November election,
Mr.. Kennedy used it as a
base Of operations before in
augural day.
Replacement
Senator Hart drew it as a
replace m e n t for his own
English basement" office
during the reshuffling Of
Senate suites that followed
the election.
Now it is being repainted
and refurbished to suit the
Michigan Democrat and Mrs.
Hart-just as the Kennedys
are redoing the Presidents
quarters in the White House.
The walls Of Hart's office
will be oyster white-as they
were when Kennedy occupied
it. But there the similarity
ends.
In place Of Kennedy's an
tique rocking chair and desk
will be a modern set pat
termed after imported DAN
ish furniture but made in
Michigan"
There will be q blue
green rug, dull gold drapeS
and chairs and q sofa that
will pick up the color
scheme" Mrs. Hart ex-
planned.
Mrs. Hart comes by her
modern flair naturally.
She's the daughter of the
late Walter Briggs, Detroit
baseball magnate and one
time auto industrialiSt. She
also flies her own plane and
pilots a helicopter.
A Common Yen
But she and Mrs. Kennedy
do have a common yen for
art.
The walls Of Senator Hart's
new office will be hung with
original paintings by Michi-
gan artists on q rotating
basis. The selection will be
made by the Michigan Cul-
sing.
What does the Senator
say?
I'm pleased" he said.

For nearly hundred years the Marines Hymn has been sung arou- nd the world. It has followedthe Sea Soldiers to Mexico, Cuba Hai- ii, China, France, Hawaii, the Philippines or wherever they fa- ve performed their various miss ions for the United Statas. Arou- nd camp fires in N2xtco, in rest billets behind the fightingfront in France, beneath the palms of the tropics or abroad, the words Of their song have inspired un- told legions Of United States Na- rines to @ high resolve and re- reWed faith in their pledge of loyalty to the Flag. Tradition points to the origin of their hymn in l82+7, during the Mexican War, when an unknown poet of theCcrps set the original lyrics to tho music of an old French opera.
