nedy Memorial Center for the
Arts. Such a monument would
be suitable testimony to John
F. Kennedy, the man, live,
vibrant, and intellectual.
Indeed, such a rededication
would be small compensation
for the terrible finality Of his
death. Yet we can see no
more fitting tribute.

I am in wholehearted
agreement with your sugges-
ton to dedicate the National
Cultural Center to the late
President Kennedy. There
can be no more continuing
and permanent monument to
his memory than in the pres
entation there of music and
the arts. 1t is my hope that
this letter and the numerous
others you will receive will be
brought to the attention of
those In whom the final de-
cision rests, and be Of some
help in the successful COM
pletion Of this noble idea.

There will be many sug-
gestions for paying tribute to
our. late PreSident-fr o m
streets and schools to sports
stadiums. None, 1t seems to
me, would be more fitting
and proper than to proceed
with the modern National
Cultural Center and dedicate
it as the John Fitzgerald
Kennedy memorial.

1t would seem most fitting
to dedicate the Cultural Gen.
ter for this purpose. 1t would
be a monument to which
everyone could contribute. It
would give impetus to the
work already started. Since
this was a project Of great
interest to both President
and Mrs. Kennedy, it would
have enormous appeal. The
idea thrills me.

Knowing that the late
President Kennedy was
deeply interested in the
building of a National Cul-
tural Center in Washington,
the thought occurs that If
everyone in the United States
who could would contribute
81 in memory of Mr.. Ken
needy. the Cultural Center
could soon become a reality
and a truly great memorial
to our 35th President.

The proposals concerning
the rededication of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Stadium
and the National Cultural
Center could best be resolved
by supporting the dedication
Of the stadium to the late
President, John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, and dedication of
the National Cultural Center
to his widow, Jacqueline Bou-
vier Kennedy. who has given
all Of us such an incompatible
example in her bereavement.

In response to your edi-
torial, "A Kennedy Memo
rial" I, too, feel that dedi-
eating the National Cultural
Center to the late President
is an excellent idea. This
would be a most appropriate
way of paying tribute to this
great man.

The memorial of a Ken
nedy Cultural Center is COM
mendable and befitting and
will, no doubt, become a real
ity.
Let us. however, realize
there is a greater need in our
Nations Capital that should
and must be met. To this
need let there be erected a
memorial to the little girl
and the salute of a three
year-old boy. This should be
a home for our homeless,
parentless, poverty-bred Dis
trict of Columbia babes and
children. Let there stand at
its portals two children, one
a little girl with a ribbon in
her hair and outstretched
arms and a younger boy sa-
