Last Tuesday afternoon, af-
ter his plane left Palm Beach,
Fla. John F. Kennedy walked
to his private compartment,
closed the door and sat down
at a desk. He was alone.
For about the next two
hours, as the plane headed for
Washington, the President
elect wrote in longhand with q
fountain pen on a pad Of yell
low paper with blue lines.
Then he called in his secre-
tary. Mrs. Evelyn Lincoln. and
began to dictate what he had
written. AS he dictated, he
changed the words and struc-
ture slightly.
Mr.. Kennedy put the yellow
sheets in his pocket and re-
marked that he had better pre-
serve them. He made a refer
ence to the fact that the rough
draft Of Franklin Roosevelt:
first inaugural address hac
been found only recently.
The next day, after he hat
flown from Washington to New
York and back, Mr.. Kennedy
returned to his Georgetown
