Assassinatecl A FINAL SALUTE- There was a sound of laughter: in a moment, it was no' more. And, So, she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a wit in a man neither young nor old: but a wit full of an old man's wis- dom and of a child's wisdom. and, then, in a moment it was no more. And, so she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a man marked with the scars of his love of country,, a body active with the surge of a life far, far from spent and, in a moment, it was no more. And so, she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands. There was a father' with a little boy, a little girl and a joy of each in the other. In a moment it was no more, and so she took a ring from her finger and placed it ln his hands. There was a husband who asked much and gave much, and, out of the giving and the asking, wove with a wom- an what could not be broken in life, and, in a moment it was no more. And so, she took a ring from her finger and placed it in his hands, and kissed him and closed the lid of a coffin. A piece of each of us died at that moment. Yet, in death he gave himself to us. He gave us of good heart from which the laughten came. He gave us of a pro- found wit, from which a great leadership emerged. He gave us of a kindness and a strength fused into human courage to seek peace without fear. He gave us of his love that we, too, in turn. might give. He gave that we might give of ourselves, that we might give to one another until there would be no room, no room at all, for the bigotry, the hatred, prejudice and the arrogance which converged in that moment of horror to strike him down. In leaving us-these gifts, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States, leaves with us. Will we take them, Mr. President? Will we have, now, the sense and the responsibility and the courage to take them? Slain by Sniper Un Downtown Street in Dallas Presidents Body lies In While House WASHINGTON KUPD -- The body of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, lay in repose today in the East Room of the White House. A gray Navy ambulance car- ried the body of the slain Chief Executive from Bethesda Naval Hospital through the streets of the nation's capital in the dark hours before dawn. Hundreds watched in silence as the am- bulance entered the White House gate. Behind closed curtains, with him in death as in life, was his young wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, heavy laden with the burden of her grief. She was still wearing the pink suit she wore in Dallas Friday. Six Military Pallbearers Accompanied by the Presi- dent's brother, Atty. Gen. Rob- ert F. Kennedy, she walked be- hind the six military pallbear- ers who carried the flag-draped coffin into the East Room of the White House. The casket was placed on a catafalque in the center of the room. A military honor guard took up its position and two priests knelt to pray the night through for Kennedy, the na- tion's first Roman Catholic President. .Ic1ckK enned y ls Buried Un ArIingtonHill WASHINGTON IAPJ - A mourning nation buried John F. Kennedy today on an open hillside sacred with history after a formal farewell from statesmen, country- men and family. The youthful President, who sought peace in an age of hot and cold wars, finds his own peace beside the nation's he- roes in Arlington National Cem- etery-in a grave overlooking the memorial of another mar- tyred president, Abraham Lin- coln. But with the prayers for the dead there were hopes for the new President, Lyndon B. John- son, who briefly laid aside the awesome problems he inherited to lead 26 presidents, prime ministers and kings in paying respect to the assassinated Ken- nedy. Not since the burial of the Unknown Soldier 40 years ago has there been such a gather- ing in Washington. And many, if not all, of the 100 or so dignitaries-including French President Charles de Gaulle, Prince Phillip and Prime Minister Alec Douglas- Home of Britain, Chancellor 'A' 'A' :I Ludwig Erhard of West Ger- many joined the grieving Mrs. Kennedy in a sombre proces- sion behind the horse-drawn caisson bearing Kennedy's body to St. Matthew's Roman Cath- olic Cathedral. The low pontififical mass was celebrated by Richard Car- dinal Cushing, archbishop of Boston and an old friend of the Kennedy family. Because of the space limita- tions, only those with invita- tions were allowed up the 13 steps and into the dark-red brick church. But in a moving display of sorrow and affection, Ameri- cans mighty and humble paid their respects to their slain leader by the hundreds of thou- sands. They choked the sidewalks- along Pennsylvania Avenue and flooded the capitol grounds Sim- tContinued on page 5-Bl. Col. D 'A' 'A'
