With the father at the time

There was no immediate
word on how the 75-year-old
patriarch of the Kennedy
family reacted.
His wife, Rose, went to early
mass and then had breakfast
with her husband before the
sad news was broken to him.
The Kennedy family chauf-
feur told newsmen today how
Mrs. Kennedy first learned of
her sons assassination.
My wife and I heard the
bulletin on the radio yester-
day." Frank Saunders said.
Mrs. Kennedy had just re-
turned from the golf course
and was having lunch" he
said. "and / ran across the
compound into the main house
and told Mrs. Kennedy's maid"
The maid. he said, told Anne

ROCKING CHAIR
GOT NEW FLAIR
IN WHITE HOUSE
By the Associated Press

by the Associated Press
The old-fashioned rock
ing chair came into its own
again when President Ken
nedy installed one in his
White House office in front
Of the fireplace. 1t had
been one Of his most cher
ished possessions for five
years.
DR.. Janet Travel, his
personal physician, believed
that rocking in a good high
backed chair was q fine
way to relax. and was hap
by that the President liked
his so much.
She said she had not
prescribed the rocker. how
ever, but that Mr.. Kennedy
had seen one like it in her
New York office when he
first went to her for treat
ment OF a back injury in
1855. He found It exceed
ingly comfortable and at
his request I ordered one
just like 1t for his Senate
office" DR.. Travell ex-
planned. He took it along to
the White House when he
became President.
As o result Of news
stories about the Presi-
dents rocker, DR.. Travell
was swamped with inquir-
les from people who want
ed to know where they
could get the kind Of chair
that went out OF fashion
years ago.

Kennedy Seemed
Dead When Given
Rites, Priest Says

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. % iAP)
President Kennedy appeared
to be dead when a Catholic
priest administered the last
rites of his church, the priest
says.
81 didn't see any sign Of life."
the Rev. Oscar Huber. C. M,
pastor Of Holy Trinity Church
in Dallas, said last night.
IT couldn't tell If 1t was real
death so I administered the
last rites conditionally." he
said. Real death doesn't come

leaves the body. We don't know
when that happens"

At stake are some Of the
most fundamental problems Of
the mid-century: how to deal
with the Soviet Union. how to

Other New Governments
Britain has what probably is
q lame-duck cabinet. New and
relatively untried governments
are cropping their way In West
Germany and Italy. Now q new
President takes over in WASH

The question being asked is:
Must the Western Alliance fall
apart for lack Of strong leader

apart by a France which Is ma
tionalistic and which conceives
Of the partnership more or less

areas where it still is not deep

States. worlds most stable and

it is a safe bet that a shudder
went through many delegations
from Latin. Middle Eastern.

bloc countries. when word of
the Dallas tragedy reached
here.

Johnson Inherits a Policy

The test ban forced Soviet
leaders to promote the idea in
Russia that the United States
Government could be trusted:
that President Kennedy was a
reasonable man who favored
peace.
By signing the test ban, the
Russians worsened their split
with the Chinese, but they OBJ
viously felt that the agreement
with the West was to their ad-
vantage since it gave them
time to build up their economy,
which has been running at a
very slow rate because of high
military expenditures.
