Entered
Politics at 2o

John Kennedy entered poll
tics at the age of 90, when he
was elected to Congress. That
was in 1916.
After winning reelection
twice to the House of Repre-
sentatives. he ran for the SEN
ate in 1852 and defeated Sena-
tor Lodge.
He won by 10000 votes de-
spite the fact that Mr.. Eisen-
hover. the Republican presi-
dental candidate, swept nor
mally Democratic MasSachu-
sets by 10000 in that COP
landslide year
Even the Democratic leaders
had considered Mr.. Lodge un-
beatable. Mr.. Lodge himself
was so sure he was safe that
he devoted much of his en-
ergieS to Mr., Eisenhower. When
he started looking after his
own campaign, he found Mr.
Kennedy had a highly efficient
organization.
Mr.. Lodge lost, and later on
President Eisenhower ap-
pointed him United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tons.
Mr.. Kennedy's political stock
was enhanced further when he
won reelection in 1858 by the
largest plurality ever piled up
for a Senate seat in Massachu-
setts-almost 900, 900.
In 1853 Mr.. Kennedy and

Nearly Won
SO Nomination

While a freshman Senator,
not yet 40 years old, Mr.. Ken
needy was a strong contender
for the Democratic nomination
for Vice President in 1856.
He had gone to the national
convention that year unpre-
pared to seek the nomination.
He had said he was not a
candidate, but would accept
the nomination If it were Of
fered him. His candidacy came
about almost spontaneously
and he had almost no oppor-
tunity to push it.
Nevertheless, in the ballot
ing he challenged the late
Senator Estes Kefauver of
Tennessee. who four years
earlier had made a spirited bid
for selection as his party's
standard bearer. Senator Ke-
fauver again had been a can
didate for the presidential
nomination in 1856, but even
tually withdrew and concen-
trated on gaining second place
on the ticket.
The wide-open floor fight
between supporters of the two
Senators developed into a tug
of-war that supplied the most
dramatic moments of the en-
tire party conclave. Senator
Kefauver raced out in front on
the first ballot, but the second
was a different story. Mr..
Kennedy at one point had a
lead of nearly 100 votes.

Stationed Back
In OttoWo

In the spring of 1861, Presi-
dent Kennedy strained his back
when he tossed several spade
fuls of dirt at a ceremonial tree
planting in ottawa, Canada.
Though in pain, he rushed
off to Europe for a series Of
conferences with other world
leaders. After his return, he
had to hobble around on
crutches for a time. This
trouble was reported not to be
connected with his others.
The President wore a corset
like brace for his other back
injuries and had a quarter
inch lift in the heel of his left
shoe to compensate for a slight
difference in the length of his
legs. He slept with a board
under his mattress.
Born in Brookline, Mass,
May 90, 1917, Mr.. Kennedy
received his bachelor of science
degree cum laude from Harvard
in 1910 and then studied at
the London School Of Eco
Monies.
His father set up a Million
dollar trust fund for each of
his nine children when they
were in early childhood. The
Kennedy wealth was amassed
from such widely diversified
interests as banking, liquor,
motion pictures, theaterS, Wall
Street and real estate. Once
when questioned about his
fathers wealth, John Kennedy
conceded drily: He has some
resources.

An operation in l945 was per-
formed to relieve the pressure
of nerve fibers on his spine.
While preparing TO make his
first race for the Senate in 1852.
Mr.. Kennedy suffered a re-
newal of the pain. Later, this
became more pronounced. He
bought a rocking chair and in
stalled couch in his office.
In october of 1854 he decided
on another operation. This time
doctors performed a spinal flu
sion operation in which bones
in the affected area were fused
with the help of an inserted
metal plate. An infection devel-
oped and Mr.. Kennedy lay near
death for a while. He spent
eight months in convalescence
but failed to recover completely.
Another operation was per-
formed in 1855 to remove the
metal plate, to which the infec-
ton apparently was related.

Took Stand
On Issues

Several times over the years
Mr.. Kennedy expressed the
opinion that being a Catholic
was not a hindrance to a presi-
Dental candidate. THE people
today are more interested in
a mans talent and ability than
his religious convictions" he
said on one occasion.
In an article in Look mag
azine early in 1859, Mr.. Ken
nedy said that religion and
government must be kept sep
arated. He declared himself
strongly opposed to Federal aid
for any church or religious
school, and against appoint
ment Of a United States am
bassador to the Vatican.
Whatever ones religion in
his private life may be-" Mr..
Kennedy said, "for the office
holder nothing takes preced-
ence over his oath to uphold
the Constitution and all its
parts = including the First
Amendment and the strict
separation of church and state.
Il believe as a Senator that
the separation of church and
state is fundamental in our
American concept and heritage
and should remain so.

vantages it might have in

Six others were scattered about

jackets. The young skipper
worked for As minutes to tow
his seriously burned engineer
to the bow half. 1t took three
hours to collect all of the men.
The watertight bulkheads
kept the bow of the PIT boat
afloat and on this the survivors
drifted. About 2 pm. Mr.. Ken
nedy decided to abandon the
bow section, which was about
to sink, and try to reach a
small island three miles away.
He swan to it, towing one
man by holding in his teeth

plank and swan in a group.
1t took about five hours to
reach land. Two days later
the men had eaten all the
coconuts on the islands two

larger island where there were
plenty.
This island was close by the
cone mountained Japanese
base of Kolombangara.

Destroyer Cut
Boat In Two

Early Monday morning, Au-
gust 2, 1943. a japanese de-
stroyer appeared suddenly out
of the darkness and sliced the
patrol boat diagonally in two.
1T happened so fast there
wasn't a chance to do a thing, 4"
the young skipper said later.
THE destroyer hit our star

sliced right through. I was in
the cockpit. l looked up and
saw red glow and streamlined

the water about 20 yards

He remembered later think
ing, at the moment the de-
stroyer hit, this is how it feels
to be killed" Two of the crew
were lost.

wrenched, and three of his men
were on the still floating for

Differed
With Father

In 1910 he wrote why Eng
land Slept" an analysis of
England's attitude before the
start of the war. At that time
he was only % years old.
Mr.. Kennedy's father served
as Ambassador to Britain ust
prior to and during the early
part of the war. He vigorously
opposed the United States en-
try into the conflict unless
this country was attacked. He
also was against passage of
the lend-lease bill to provide
supplies to Britain, and he
denied the argument expressed
in some quarters that Eng
land is fighting our battle"
AS a result of his stand, the
elder Kennedy was tagged with
an isolationist label. He was
also a controversial political
figure. A rift developed be-
tween him and President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
When John Kenne d y
launched his Senate career, his
father said he was lin complete
disagreement" with him on for
eign policy. II couldn't possibly
have a worse argument with
anyone about foreign policy
than I have had with my son, -
he said.
The former Ambassador said
in a speech in 1852 that he was
an isolationist because I don't
think the kind of help we're
giving foreign countries) has
produced anything like the re-
suits it was supposed to pro-
duce."
Young Kennedy was an out
standing advocate of interna-
tionalism and strongly sup
ported aid to Europe after
World War II.
1t was in that conflict that
he distinguished himself as a
junior grade naval lieutenant in
command of a PIT boat in
Blackett Strait. off the enemy
infested Solomon Islands.

Stressed
His Youth

The millions Of television
viewers saw the image of a
young, vigorous candidate,
poised. cool, highly informed,
quick on his feet and, above all,
possessed of a reassuring self
confidence.
When critics made an issue Of
his youth, Mr.. Kennedy re-
torted that the new problems
of a new age required youth
and vigor to deal with them.
Mr.. Kennedy was so young
when he first went TO Congress
that he frequently was mistaken
for a pageboy. Even as a fresh
man Senator he once had a
similar experience. AS he
started to board the miniature
subway car which runs between
the Senate Office Building and
the Capitol, guard bawled at
him:
Stand back! Wait till the
Senators are seated, PLEASEl"
Mr.. Kennedy waited.
Mr.. Kennedy was boyishly
handsome carrying slim ITS
pounds on his 6-foot frame
topped by a shock of unruly
chestnut hair that was almost
a trademark. He had a blue
eyed open-faced look, a friendly
smile and a demeanor. He
talked with conviction. usually
in machine-gun staccato.
His World War II record and
his authorship Of a best-selling
book, "Profiles in Courage"
added to his stature.
This book which was.
awarded the 1857 Pulitzer Prize
for biography, dealt with de-
cisive moments in the lives of
selected American public fig
ures, some well-known, some
obscure. He wrote it in long
hand while recovering from
dangerous spinal operations.

Popular Vote
Margin Narrow

Mr.. Kennedy polled SOL per
cent of the major party vote;
Mr.. Nixon 49.9. OF the total
vote. Mr.. Kennedy's percentage
was 49.7; Mr.. Nixon's 49.6 and
others or.
He was the 14th President to
poll less than so per cent of
the total vote. Harry S. Tru-
man and Woodrow Wilson
we're others in this century.
Mr.. Kennedy, descended on
both sides from Irish immi-
grants of the mid-l9th CEN
tury, had an inherited back
ground of politics and a rec
ord of accomplishments in
public affairs. He was also a
war hero and a successful
author.
One grandfather, Patrick Jo-
seph Kennedy, a saloonkeeper
and Democratic ward leader in
East Boston, served in both
branches of the Massachusetts,
legislature.
The other, John F. Honey
Fitz) Fitzgerald, was mayor Of
Boston for two terms and a
Representative in Congress. He
ran for the Senate in 1916, but
was defeated by Henry Cabot
Lodge, whose grandson and
namesake John F. Kennedy
defeated in 1852 for reelection
to the same office.
The younger Lodge, as Re-
publican nominee for Vice
President, opposed Mr.. Kennedy
again in the 1860 election.
Mr.. Kennedy's father. Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, who amassed
a fortune that a 1857 survey by
Fortune Magazine placed in
the 5000 to S400 million cate

Commission and of the Mari

Brood Bill
On Rights

After much wrangling and
maneuvering. a Civil Rights
bill was reported out of the
House Judiciary Committee
with bipartisan support. Pros
poets of House adoption APP
peared good. but there was OPP
position in the Senate and a
matter of time that cast a
shadow.
The tax reduction program
also had critics who contended
it should be coupled with a
budget reduction. The House Of
Representatives adopted a bill
which gave individuals and
corporations tax relief in two
step program beginning in
January. 1864. Its supporters
commended that less in revenue
to the Government would be
offset partly by revenue-raising
revisions and reforms in the
tax structure.
1t was on a freezing January
20. 1861, that John F. Kennedy
was sworn in as President in a
ceremony Of moving dignity.
He took the oath of office with
his hand on a Bible that had
been in his mothers family for
generations.
His inaugural speech was de-
voted almost entirely to foreign
affairs.
He set himself two goals
survival of liberty at home and
peace in a world shiVering in an
uncertain balance of terror. ;
He invited the Communist
world to join in a new begin
ming of the quest for peace"
before the dark powers Of de-
struction unleashed by science
engulf all humanity in planned
or accidental self destruction. +"
Let us never negotiate out
Of fear, but let us never fear to
negotiate" he said.
Inaugmated with Mr.. Ken
nedy was Vice President Lyn-
don B. johnson of Texas. They
had served together in the
Senate, where Mr.. Kennedy
spent eight years. Previously
he had served six years in the
House.
Mr.. Kennedy at 43 was the
youngest man ever elected
President. He succeeded the
Oldest man ever to hold that
office. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
who was past 70 when his term
expired.

Prepared
For 4 Years

Senator Kefauver was op-
posed by many delegates of his
native South because of his
liberal views on racial integra-
ton. Tennessee itself had sup
ported its junior Senator, Al
bert Gore, until the end of the
second ballot. Then it shifted
to Senator Kefauver, and that
proved the turning point of the
contest.
While defeated, Mr.. Kennedy
actually was a winner because
Of his surprising popular
strength. He was encouraged
to raise his sights to the presi-
dental nomination.
During the next four years he
prepared his drive toward that
goal. He raced around the coun-
try like a whirlwind, forever on
the go, making speeches, meet
ing with politicians, exposing
himself to potential delegates
and voters, making friends. Mr..
Kennedy visited every State
and averaged two speeches a
week.
When he felt he was ready,
he announced early, thereby
breaking with tradition. Then
he mapped hard schedule by
tering seven presidential
preferential primary elections.
Some were calculated risks and
some outright CANDLES = par
ticularly the one in West Vir-
ginia.
Many political experts were
sure that Mr.. Kennedy's going
into West Virginia's primary
was a blunder. They figured
his Catholic religion was an in
superable obstacle in a State
with only a 5 per cent Catholic
population.
Mr.. Kennedy insisted a mans
religion should not be a factor
in deciding his fitness for Of
flee. Before the voting, he said:
II would hate to think I lost
this election the day I was
baptized"
He told friends he had to 60

Religion
An Issue

while Theodore Roosevelt
was about nine months younger
than Mr.. Kennedy upon be-
coming Chief Executive, he
reached that office from the
Vice Presidency as the result
of William McKinley's assas-
sination.)
Mr.. Kennedy also was the first
Roman Catholic President. The
Democrats had had a standard
bearer of that faith in 1928
Gov. Alfred z. Smith of New
York-but he had been defeated
overwhelmingly by Herbert
Hoover.
In the 1860 campaign, as in
the one a generation earlier, re-
ligion was much discussed. By
a coincidence, the Republican
nominee each time was a
Quaker. Both Mr.. Hoover and
Richard NJ. Nixon, the 1860
candidate, disavowed religion
as a campaign issue. But it re-
manned q very live one.
Mr.. Kennedy was elected
with a comfortable electoral
majority-303 to 219, with only
