Millions Bid Farewell

The caSket was placed on a plat form above the grave.
 The honor guard presented arms in a salute, then pointed their rifles toward the ground and marched away.
 As he had done so often since his brothers death. Attorney Gen. eral Robert Kennedy, his face mir bring his own grief, stood at the widows side.
 Among those ushered near the grave were French President De Gaulle. Chancellor Erhard and Elm peror Halle Selassie.
 Cardinal Cushing recited the Lords Prayer, and the mourners echoed his booming, chanting voice with the same prayer.
 The prayer over, the 2l-gun sa- ute began sounding.
 As the 2l-gun salute sounded, President Johnson stood impas- sively, his tall figure completely surrounded by Secret Servicemen.
 Cardinal Cushing then asked again that the Lord grant eternal peace to the soul of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
 The Cardinal then sprinkled Holy Water on the casket, crossed himself, and prayed again.
 Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and the two Kennedy brothers then ap- proched the casket. Riflemen fired three shots, and a bugler sounded taps.
 The flag was folded a minute later.
 A member of the honor guard handed the flag to an official and saluted.
 Mrs. Kennedy received the flag, and. with the flag under her arms, she approached the grave and lit an eternal flame. It was 3:12 pm.
 Mrs. Kennedy then stepped away.
 The honor guard stayed at at- tention by the casket, which still had not been lowered into the earth.
 The burial service was over.
 The car carrying Mrs. Kennedy left the cemetery grounds at 3:18 pm.

The broad avenue leading from the Lincoln Memorial to the ceme- tery was lined with troops from the armed services.
 The section of the boulevard starting on the Virginia side was manned by blue jackets, standing 12 feet apart with hands folded behind them and facing the road way.
 Crowds lined the route about six deep.
 They ranged right up to the en- trance of the cemetery.
 Twenty-six smartly dressed Irish cadets opened the ceremony at Ar lington National Ceremony with display of precision drilling near the grave of President Kennedy
 While the funeral ceremony at St. Matthews Cathedral was still in process, the cadets marched briskly up the road winding through the military cemetery and halted near the grave.
 Several hundred Congressman and friends of the family had al- ready gathered and watched the cadets presenting arms and going through other low keyed maneu- verS.
 The cadets from the Irish Mill tary College had performed for Kennedy when he visited Ireland last July. The Kennedy family had asked that they take part in the funeral ceremonies.
 The hillside at the site of the Presidents grave was covered with people - waiting, as they did all over Washington, to say goodbye to the President.
 The entire slope above the grave was covered with flowers which arrived by the truckload. Despite Mrs. Kennedy's request that mourners omit flowers, the hillside at Arlington National Cem-

etery looked like field of flowers.
 And there was an Irish flag.
 A woman who identified herself as an army surgeons wife, Mrs. Walter Kostecki, put it there before the funeral procession arrived. She said she was IriSh-maiden name, Sullivan - and that her mother had known the Presidents mother.
 The caisson bearing President Kennedy's casket reached the grave site at about 2:45 pm.
 An honor guard representing all the US. military services flanked the caisson, standing at attention.
 The Kennedy party stepped from their limousines and waited quietly to let other dignitaries catch up. The funeral cortege was several miles long.
 A band struck up The Star Spangled Banner" The military guard flanking the Presidents cas- ket saluted.
 Mrs. Kennedy stood impassive, flanked by Robert and Edward Kennedy, the Presidents brothers
 As soon as the last notes of the National Anthem faded, the US. Air Force bagpipes began to play. The band of bagpipes moved closer to the grave.
 The casket was lifted from the caisson, and carried slowly toward the grave as clergymen walked ahead of it.
 Richard Cardinal Cushing, Arch bishop of Boston who had cele- brated the funeral mass, stepped in front of the casket, and the honor guard carried it toward the grave site.
 There were two Negroes in this, the last honor guard for the Pres ident
 The bagpipes played as the guard moved slowly onward.
 At that moment, there was a roar as 50 jet planes - one for each state - flew over in a salute from the nations air arms. There were 30 Air Force fighters and 20 Navy.
 The Presidential aircraft - known as Air Force One - also passed over the cemetery.

Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, announced at the
hearing today that he will vote
against the foreign aid bill
again this year unless the pro-
gram is drastically revised.
This prompted Charm a n
Fulbright to remark that he
also has been troubled about
the program. While recogniz-
ing the past need for it, SEN
ator Fulbright said develop
ments in Western Europe since
January, especially the atti-
tude Of France, "have not been

Presumably, the chairman

force.
Reds Reappraising
Secretary Rusk said the So
Wet Union is reappraising its
foreign aid program because 1t
has had some disappointment
in several areas, including
Africa and Indonesia. Other
highlights of the Secretary's
opening testimony were:
He asked for. repeal of the
provision in the reciprocal
trade law aimed at preventing
trade with Yugoslavia and
Poland.
He asked for restoration of
flexible authority for the Presi-
dent to expand most-favored-
nation treatment to countries
in Eastern Europe when it
