thing he can use as weapon. In

DETROIT - Labor is launching
an about drive among its mem
bcrs to raise money for the
United Negro College Fund which

II was pointed out by Don
Thurber that UNCF colleges are
not segregating institutions. Their
trustee boards are intcrracial;
their faculties are integrated and
students of all races are accepted

80 colleges is accredited. Funds

Agee, Perry Niece. Charles

Clarence Warmsley, Frank Gar

Agee and Parquet have been
especially impressive to major
league scouts.
Both are rated as probably the
finest professional prospects 70
ever play in the SWAc. Their
combined value is being accessed
az $4,000 by the experts ex-

Agee is almost a dead ringer
for Willie Mays in structure and
/ baseball temperament.
AT 30 pounds he is bigger than
Willie, but otherwise the pattern
fits.
The boulder-shouldered fresh
man is a hair-raising hitter who
sparkles afield and runs the bases
with fine contempt for life and
limb.
Agee has hit .525 in 18 games
and his duel dexterity stamps
him as the best looking college
player in Dixie or his peer is

Parquets pitching alone is
enough to set Grambling apart
from other SWAC teams. but his
contribution doesn't end here He
can hit a ball out of sight and
plays the outfield between mound

The 21-year-old senior has ex-

Last year he logged two no

plum colored suit that she
had worn to Congress for the
first State f-the- Union
message delivered by her
husband.
The first to greet Mrs.
Kennedy when she arrived
were Mr.. Rudolph Kauff-
mann II, president of Chill
dren's Hospital, and Miss
Edith Torkington, adminis-
traitor of the hospital.
Next was Mrs. Hugh D.
Auchincloss, mother of the
First Lady. and a long time
member of the Board of Lady
Visitors. Also there were
Mrs. Edward w. C. Russell,
president of the Board of
Lady Visitors and Mrs. Des-
mond FITZGERALD, president
of the board, Children'S
Hearing and Speech Center.
Off to See Children
Mrs. Kennedy was quick
with the formalities and went
on to the job she was looking
forward to-Seeing the chill
dren.
Her first stop was on the
second floor and as going
through the wards with her
presents, she stopped bed by
bed saying:
Hold my hand, don't you
want to see me? May I give
this to you?"
And to the young father
of a very tiny patient, DO
you think he is too little for
this - we'll, maybe he can
chew on it,.
Another child, who was
asked by Mrs. Kennedy if she
wanted one of the ornaments
said, no" Another said,
Thank you and, God bless
you, Mrs. Kennedy"
A nurse came to the Pre-
Sident'S wife and suggested
that she see the treatment
room on the floor. Mrs. Ken
nedy, however, said. Il want
to see the children"
Mrs. AuchInclosS pointed
out a room where the First
LadyS brother had been a
patient for brief time.
And then came the mo-
ment for a student nurse.

present a white orchid to

Mrs. Kennedy asked if Cici
would be able to go home
soon. Cici has bone disease
but the doctor assured Mrs.
Kennedy that she will be
home soon.
To one youngster of this
floor, Mrs. Kennedy gave her
present and asked. Are you
too old for this or do you
love Christmas as much as
I do?"
To another, How are you?

Schedule
Announced
BY the Associated Press

Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy
will visit a kindergarten, a
museum housing ancient gold
treasures and a children's
hospital during a weekend
trip to South America.
The President and Mrs.
Kennedy will leave here Fri
day, visit Caracas, Venezuela.
Saturday, and 60 on to Bo-
gotta, Colombia, Sunday.
While President Kennedy is
having private conferences
with the Venezuelan and Co.
lombian Chief Executives.
Mrs. Kennedy will have time
to move around a bit on her
own.
In Caracas, she and the
First Lady of Venezuela, Mrs.
Romulo Betancourt, will go
to kindergarten and greet
mothers and children.
The kindergarten was es-
tablished by a committee of
Venezuelan mothers so that
100 children from poorer
families could spend several
hours a day there playing.
The mothers accompanying
the children are taught more
about cooking, sewing, clean
ing and caring for their
youngsters.
In Bogota, Mrs. Kennedy
and the First Lady, Mrs. Al
berto Lleras Camargo, will go
from the Presidential palace
to the nearby Museo D'Oro
to look over a collection of
ancient golden works found
in tombs of some of Colom-
bias earliest inhabitants. The
treasures have been in the
process of assembly for more
than a score of years.
The schedule allows only 18
minutes for browsing at the
museum before Mrs. Kennedy
leaves for the hospital In
fantil Lorencita Viegas de
Santos. The White House
said Colombia's modern med
ical techniques are available
to children at this hospital.
Colombian and American
women volunteers, the White
House said, visit bedridden
children daily and maintain
