Attorney General Robert
Kennedy's wife Ethel, would
like to see her sister-in-law,
First Lady Jacqueline Ken
needy, stop in more countries
during her forthcoming trip
to India and Pakistan.
you have to see it to be-
lieve it," said Ethel Kennedy,
who returned Thursday from
a 'round-the-world trip with
her husband. 49,.
81 think it would be terrific
If Jackie stopped off at some
of the countries we were in.
I think it would mean a great
deal to the people of those
nations" the Attorney Gen
erals wife said. People of
many countries talked to us
about how much they wished
the President and Mrs. Ken
needy would visit them"
No, she probably would not
suggest the extra .stopovers
to the First Lady when she
and the ATTORNEY General
went to the White House last
evening, Mrs. Kennedy said
in an afternoon interview.
Nor did she have any
travel tips, such as what
clothes to bring, to pass
along to Jacqueline Kennedy,
who now is scheduled to
leave late next week.
"The Last Word"
II wouldn't recommend
anything to her. I think she
has got the last word on
that" Ethel Kennedy said.
She wishes many other
Americans also would travel
abroad,-"and not just go
into stores, but really talk to
people, and straighten them
out about this country" she
said.
"It would be such a help
II as many people as possible
would travel" she said earn
estly. at really is true what
Bobby (the Attorney Gen.
crab said-they are under so
many illusions about U.s."
Several United States Am
bassador'S wives told her they
would be glad to arrange for
visits of American tourists to
hospitals, homes and the like
abroad, she added.
The cabinet wife said she
was very impressed by the
wonderful job that United
States foreign service wives
are doing in many lands"
"They do it so joyfully, she
said. "They really adapt
themselves to the country
where they work. They get
excited about the country,
and establish a close feeling
with the people. They run
fund drives, for sheets and
bandages, where needed, and
sometimes raise money for
scholarships for children.
Many Of them learn the Ian
guage and then m axe
speeches"
Mrs. Kennedy said she felt
she met few outright Com
muniSts during her travels.
1.-THE few we saw just made
a lot of noise," she added.
She was never really
frightened" during the dem
onstrations in Japan and
Indonesia, she said, although
she felt "a moment of appre-
hension" about her hus-
band during the tense period
when students demonstrated
at Waseda University in
Tokyo.
That was a situation that
could have gone either way"
she said. you just did not
know what was going to hap
pen."
One Of the other episodes
that landed her on the front
pages, the overturning of a
small sailing craft which her
husband was plotting, was
much over rated" Mrs.
Kennedy said.
They wouldn't even have
sent the Coast Guard out in
Hyannisport."
The fruit of still another
escapade-the motor scooter
from which she fell in Rome,
will eventually wind up
here, she said. She did not
want to talk about falling
off.
OF all the places and per-
sons she saw, West Germany
and German Chancellor
Adenauer impressed her the
most. Mrs. Kennedy said.
Wall 'Unforgetable'
The wall dividing East and
West Berlin was "unforget-
able" she said, and "the
German people-we looked
out into a sea of smiling
faces-get choked up about
oil TIA Av,n1.;za -
