late President Kennedy as the
Senate set aside the day for
eulogies.

was scheduled to speak later,
and it was expected that all
Senators who are in Washing

Senator Mansfield repeated
the eulogy he had voiced in the
rorotunda of the Capitol while
Mr.. Kennedy's body was lying
in state there, and added:
"A flame kindled of human
decency. courage and dedica-
ton, does not Gle. The light
which was John Fitzgerald
Kennedy will not fail. We must
not fail"
Senator Smathers, Demo-
crat of Florida. a close friend
of Mr.. Kennedy, said great
men are usually so far ahead
of their times that they are
seldom fully appreciated while
they live. He said much of Mr..
Kennedy's program was re-
ceived with CONSERVATION but
those who survive him will see
much of it carried out.
Senator Hart, Democrat of
Michigan, said no words could
match the eloquence of the
grief on the faces of millions
of the worlds peoples"
Surely. the name of John F.
Kennedy has already been
consecrated far beyond our
poor power to add or
ldetract. :" But, Senator
Hart added. "a eulogy day
gives us a chance to pour our
grief into a common pool
where it can be shared more
readily and therefore borne
more easily"
His own eulogy, Senator
Hart continued, is a pledge to
support President johnson in
his appeal for civil rights, tax
and other legislation as a
memorial to Mr.. Kennedy.
Senator Inouye. Democrat of
Hawaii, sounded a similar note.

himself then. One reason, he
said, was a murder trial in Los

else" he said.
