Vigorous Weekend For Kennedy Clan

WASHINGTON LR - It was a vigorous weekend on the New Frontier. President Kennedy took his wife on three short hikes and Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy walk ed 50 miles in IT hours all in the cause of physical fitness.
 Ethel Kennedy, the Attorney Generals wife, added to the aura of vitality by declaring she'd vel come twins to the busy routine of her family of seven.
 But Ethel, who is expecting her eighth child in June, added there is no medical evidence to indicate twins are in the ofifng
 The one discordant note was sounded by Joan Kennedy, wife of Sen. Edward Kennedy. Joan wrote in Look magazine that the Presi- dent, because of persistent back trouble, can barely pick up his 2-year-old son, John Jr.
 Reporting that young John now weighs about 35 pounds, the White House said 'the Presidents back is improving but his son is getting heavier"
 If President Kennedy's back is slowing him down, this wasn't evil dent Sunday during his three walks with the First Lady.
 Kennedy set such a brisk pace that it almost seemed he was train ing for a 50-mile wike of his own.
 Fifty miles became a magic number on the New Frontier after Kennedy learned about 1908 ex- ecutive order in which President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed this distance an appropriate fitness test for Marine officers.
 At the Presidents suggestion, 20 Marines will take the Roosevelt test at Camp Lejuene Tuesday. On Friday, volunteers from the White House staff and press corps will. embark on a similar expedition. Robert Kennedy jumped the gun on these endeavors Saturday by walking 50 miles rom Washington toward Thurmont, Md. The 37- year-old Attorney General was accompanied by four aides who faltered before the finish line.
 The Attorney General reached his destination at II p.m., attend ed am. Roman Catholic mass the next morning, and then went ice skating.
 President Kennedy and the First Lady started their walking binge in New Yirk, where they spent the weekend of theater-going, fancy eating and partying.
