Plans for Funeral Adjusted
SmoothIyto FamiIy's Wishes

The complex and moving
blend Of religious and military
pageantry that marked the Ma
tons farewell to John F. Ken
nedy was planned within hours
after his death.
Once initial White House de-
cisions had been made. the ac-
tual assembly and co-ordina-
ton of the events presented no
major problems, according to
some of the people who helped
in the work.
The reason it could all go so
smoothly, they said, was that
the fam ly chose traditional
religious and military rites
the sort of things that have
been done for dead leaders for
centuries.
Clear Presidents

The people at st. Matthews
Cathedral, the Military District
of Washington, the Metropoli-
tan Police Department. the
State Departm ent and the
Capitol had planned and car
ried out such funerals before or
had clear precedents to follow.
1t remained only to adjust
troublesome details-the seat
ing at the cathedral and the
Secret Service security require
ments, for instance, to the spe-
cifie variations requested by
the Kennedy family.
The machinery started NOV
ing as soon as the White House
staff knew the President was,
in fact, dead. Calls went out to
people who would do the plan

Guerrilla Forces Beret
Put on Kennedy Grave

A green beret, the priced
symbol of the Army guerrilla
warfare specialists in the Spe-
cial Forces, was placed at Pres
ident Kennedy's grave in a
simple, impromptu ceremony
yesterday afternoon at Airing
ton Cemetery.
An officer of the LIST Battalion,
Sd Infantry (Old Guard, said
the beret was laid at the foot
Of the grave at 3:45 pm, fol-
lowing the graveside services
for the slain President.
A detachment of Special
Forces men had flown to Wash
lngton at the Kennedy family's
request to serve in the special
honor guard.
First 1t. Ian Sutherland, a
former Special Forces soldier
now attached to the Old Guard,
said the highest tribute that
can be paid by a Special Forces
soldier to someone outside that
service is to permit him to wear
the groups distinctive green
beret.
Two sergeants of the Special
Forces honor guard unit, acting
in behalf of the whole unit,
marched side-by- side to the
foot of the presidential grave,
to place the beret.
Sometime during the waning
afternoon or during last night,
two other military tributes
were placed at the grave. One
was a Sd Infantry shoulder
cockade, a brass ornament
worn only by members of the
Old Guard, and the other a
buff shoulder strap, another
uniform accessory worn only by
Old Guard members.
When the cemetery gates
were opened this morning at 8
O'Clock, 10 persons were waiting

five children. had arrived at
$3.50 am. after driving all night
from North Carolina.
BY $3.50 am, the mourners
standing outside the white
picket fence enclosing the grave
numbered nearly 100.
No one knows how many will
visit the grave in the next
few days, but as far as the
cemetery is concerned, all are
free to visit the final resting
ground of the late president
during the normal visiting
house. These are:
Weekdays: 8 am. to 5 pm.
saturdays, Sundays and
Holidays, 9 am. to 5 pm.
Surrounding the grave will
be a 20-by-20-foot white picket
fence, 21a feet high. The public
must stay outside this fence,
but otherwise will have free
access to the area, according to
John c. Metzler, cemetery
superintendent.
No parking restrictions are
planned. and parking is avail
able along most of the roads
ir the cemetery.

that President Kennedy's buri-
al be more Of a national event.
The other major details of
the three days. the lying in
state in the White House and
Capitol, were traditional and
required no difficult decisions.
Once the outlines were set,
the many planners. co-ordsnat-
ed by John ]. Mentally, jr., of
the White House staff, under
Mr.. Shriver's direction, filled in
the details.
There were only soIvable
problems left: How to move the
expected thousands Of MOURN
ers past the casket in the
Capitol rotunda, how to well
come and care for the foreign
dignataries, how to fit an ex-
pected 1000 persons into a ca
thedral that norma ally seats
300.
Thousands of such d details
were handled without visible
confusion by people with long
experience IN the segments of
the ant for which they
were responsible.
There were questions, for in
stance, Of reconciling security
and religious requirements at
the cathedral. In retrospect,
the people involved say, there
were easy answers. Secret
Service agents were everywhere
at all times. but they were so
un o b trusive that the busy
priests at st. Matthews stopped
noticing them.
Seating Plans Changed
Possible conflicts were settled
quickly and pleasantly. The
White House suggested, for in
stance, that some of the funer.
al guests be seated inside the
altar rail. The priests said that
was not customary and both
priests and secular officials
worked out a seating plan
which finally did take care of
all Of the needs.
Actually the seating was
C h ang e. as late as Sunday
night when hundreds Of wood
en- seats we're moved out and
smaller metal seats moved into
the cathedral. About 1.150 per-
sons attended the funeral cere-
mony Monday noon.
The Secret Service repeatedly
combed the Capitol, the Cathe-
dral, Arlington Cemetery and
surrounding areas during the
free days.
They went completely through
the Cathedral, from dome to
basement, into every niche and
room at least four times-all
this while normal and special
masses we're being carried out
and thousands of persons visi-
ted the church.
City police and military units
also provided security and as
Sistance in the flow of events
in such a way that religious,
military and state requirements
were met without ever, some of
the participants say, creating
confusion or friction.
Last minute small changes
such as the addition of the
eternal flame to the traditional
military burial, were accom-
plished by specialists in q way
that seemed to the other PLAN
ners to be normal and routine.

The basic purpose Of thu

Two basic decisions had to
be made, the place of the flu

burial.

the familys wishes became
known to the planners. Report
edly it was Mrs. Kennedy's own
decision to have the service at
st. Matthews and the burial at
Arlington Cemetery.
st. Matthews apparently was
chosen because it is close to the
White House. The alternative
was the great shrine at Catho-
lie University, with a far great
er seating capacity, but posing
problems of movement of the
people who would participate.
Arlington was chosen over

The flame that burns softly
over the grave Of the fallen
President was an intuitive in
spiration of Mrs. Jacqueline
Kennedy. Sargent Shriver said
last night.
Mr.. Shriver, husband of the
late Presidents sister, Eunice,
had charge of the funeral ar
rangements for the family.
Mrs. Kennedy and the Presi-
dents brothers, Attorney Gen.
eral Kennedy and Senator
Kennedy all helped light the
flame during graveside services
yesterday afternoon.

Mr.. Shriver said that on Sat-
urday night Mrs. Kennedy con-
sidered various aspects" OF
personal commemoration, and
decided that a flame would
represent her continuin 6
devotion to him and his ideals. >
An Army officer, told to exc

He said he expected tn,

which now may be in Mrs
Kennedy's mind" However, h
said he had heard no mention
of any specific design so far.
Only One at Arlington
As far as the family was abb
to determine. said Mr.. Shriver
there was no Eternal Flame

yesterday. Such flalmes d
