Attorney General Robert Ken
needy did request the grave site,
but not the large extra tract.
It is Vance's intention to ex-
plain all this in the so-called
fact sheet" It would point out
that several years ago the Army
decide to exclude graves from
this choice Arlington area. But
an exception was made for the
assassinated President.
Vance is expected to recon-
mend to President johnson that
the Kennedy grave be made a
national shrine, ard that ap-
proximately one acre be used
for that purpose.

the time seems highly appropriate for
a new dedication to the principles Of
Christianity. The United States, Of all
the countries in the history of the world,
today enjoys more blessings and more
Of the good things Of life than any other
nation. Yet, we live in troubled times.
AS nation, we must hope and pray
that we will survive the modern crisis as
we have those in the past, and there is
every reason to believe that we will.
Meanwhile, as we pause briefly to OBJ
serve and enjoy the Christmas holiday
season, it is we'll to renew our hope that
there will, some day, somehow, be peace
on earth and goodwill among all men.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10 The
State Department is uneasily
bordering what to do about ad-
hitting rev large influx Of
"Old Believers this time
from Russia.
Some 1900 want to come to
the U. S. to join the $50 men,
bers Of their sect who were al
lowed to migrate from Turkey
earlier this year by a ruling by
Attorney General Robert Ken
nedy.
The so-called "Old Believers"
split from the Russian Orthodox
church in the 18th century and
settled in Turkey. Last summer,
a number of their descendants,
through the Tolstoy Foundation
of New York. sought admission
to the U. S. on the ground they
were under heavy pressure BY
Soviet agents to return to that
country.
Around 1900 did go back to
Russia in September. Now they
are fed up and want to get out.
They have asked for readnit-
lance to Turkey, but it doesn t
want them.
So Turkey, In turn. is propos-
irg the U. s. allow these 1900
"Old Believers" to join the $50
admitted last summer.
This time Attorney General
Kennedy is passing the buck to
the State Department specifi-
cally, Abba Schwartz. controver-
sial head of the Bureau of Sc
curly and Consular Affairs. He
was a prime mover in arrang-
ing the entry Of the original
band Of $50.
Kennedy is holding that the
decision is up to the State De-
partment because the 1900 "Old
Believers" are living behind the
Iron Curtain and determination
of their case is outside of JUS
tice Department jurisdiction
Last summer. the attorney
general ruled in favor Of the
$50 "Old Believers" on tn e
ground they came under Section
212tD) of the immigration Act
granting temporary Abundance
under emergency conditions.
Now Kennedy apparently does
