Catholics,
Mr.. Kennedy and his wife
attended mass there many
times on holy days. @
Mrs. Rose Kennedy, the
Presidents mother, was an
even better-known figure at
the cathedral. She attended
mass there because she regu-
larly stayed at a nearby hotel
when she was in town.
The cathedral itself Is well
known because it is the organi-
rational center Of church activi-
ties for the approximately
$685. 900 Roman Catholics in the
113 parishes in the Washington
Archdiocese.
The cathedral, at IT'S Rhode
Island avenue NV, had its
start as a chapel of st. Antho-
ny of Padua on June IA, 1898.
Its copper-green dome and ag-
ing red-brick exterior have
been a landmark of the Con-
necticut avenue area for many
years, even though the building
now is overshadowed by taller
office buildings.

The cathedral will be closed
to the public for the mass to-
morrow, with the White House

Mr.. Kennedy's
Three Projects
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS


IRON THE TINE of his
first month in office,
President Kennedy took a
personal interest in a project
that in spite of all his
other magnificent accomp-
hshments - will certainly
constitute one of the most
notable monuments to his
memory.
And this, with great under
standing, he recognized.
When his friend, William
Walton, once apologised for
bringing a problem involv-
ing Lafayette Square to his
attention at a busy moment,
Mr.. Kennedy smiled and
said, in two sentences that
strike a toll Of sadness in
ones heart:
Don't apologize, Bill. After
all, it may be the only mon
ument Wen be able to leave"

AS A SINGLE ACT, pres
ervation Of Lafayette Square
at first may seem to be of
minor Importance in COM
parison to the truly awe
some variety of this much
beloved mans achievements
during less than three years
in office.
Yet, as House Speaker Nc
Cormack so aptly said last
Friday, John F. Kennedy
was a man of keen vision
who looked ahead.
He perceived clearly the
significance of preserving
this historic square across
from the White House, and
of enfolding it in the Ma
tion's warm embrace.
Blessed with a sense Of
humor and a certain de-
tachment, he yet was broadly
committed to the idea that
history deals in unexpected
ways with the acts of men
Transforming seemingly in
consequential matters into
formidable ones, as like as
not, and filing away some
more prestigious work in the
dusty pigeon holes marked
for miscellaneously paltry
things.

TO HIS NATION and the

TO HIS NATION and the
world, President Kennedy
appeared to epitomize the
man of action-the man Of
ready smiles and hand
shakes, Of wit, of a willing
ness to break new trails, to
plead for boldness, to travel
by any means so long as it
was fast.
Yet for all this outgoing
energy-a kinetie image that
still denies as incredible and
unreal the tragedy Of last
Friday - Mr.. Kennedy was
also the reflective figure
mirrored in a fine prose
style, with a penchant for
tradition, and a respect for
the physical arts Of the
world around him.
Decisively, and at the cost
of much personal effort, he
committed himself to lead
ing a drive for $50 million
with which to build a Ma
tional Cultural Center in
Washington.
AS a universal act reprov-
ing the hatred that cost his
life, a sorrowing Nation
could now quickly overSub-
scribe this goal so that a
befitting memorial he so
much deserves may soon be
built to commemorate his
martyrdom.
