An alarm was sounded and 11 minutes later police stopped the car on a county road 2 or 3 miles south of Portage. The car yielded Weil, the gun and $6,908. The Federal Bureau of Investigation took him into custody at Lake County Jail at Crown Point, Ind. He admitted the holdups.

The Other Kennedy Women Spotlighted

EDITORS NOTE: This is the fourth of five profile - interviews of “the other Kennedy women” —the President’s sisters and sis-ters-in-law. Today’s subject is Jean Kennedy Smith, the President’s youngest sister and the wife of one of the powerful behind the scenes men in the Kennedy campaigns. By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — A 9-by--12-inch photograph of the President of the United States sits on a small occasional- table in a handsomely furnished duplex on Fifth Avenue. The photograph, in black and white, is inscribed: “For Jean. Don’t deny you did it.” It is signed “John.” Jean Kennedy Smith, youngest sister of the President, explained that her brother’s inscription refers to her role in the 1960 campaign for the presidency. Jean is the quietest of the Kennedy clan. And the inscription is a joking exhortation to her never to admit that she didn’t elect John F. “It’s just part of a family joke about the campaign,” said Mrs. Stephen E- Smith, “and the help I gave on it.” Actually, she said, she wasn't very active in 1960 although she and her sisters, Eunice and Patricia, pitched in on the Wisconsin and West Virginia primaries, two key ones which were a powerful factor in her brother’s winning the Democratic nomination. Husband in Politics Jean Kennedy Smith, mother of two small boys, may lay down her role in campaigning for the masculine members of the family. But her husband’s role is a major one, usually behind the scenes. Smith, a handsome, personable 35-year-old New Yorker, currently is handling a new assignment from his White House relative. His job reportedly: To smooth over splits in the Democratic party, especially in the key electoral vote states of New York, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania where the Democrats took a lacing in the 1962 contests for governor. Smith has been active in the Kennedy political fortunes since 1958 when he quit as vice president of his family’s tugboat and barge firm to- run the Boston headquarters of John F.’s Massachusetts Senate campaign. Smith opened the first Kennedy for President headquarters in 1959 in Washington. He showed up in Boston last summer to help with Ted Kennedy’s campaign for the Senate. Move to New York Now, the Smiths have given up the rented house in Washington and moved into a spacious cooperative duplex apartment on New York’s Fifth Avenue. Mrs. Smith said thy have lived in New York since last September, but her husband still goes to Washington a couple of days a week. He is on the go to other parts of the country the rest of the time. The dpy this reporter called on Mrs. Srnith she was in the midst of arranging circus tickets for the older son, Stephen Jr., or “Stevie”, and one of his friends.

grade. William, who is two and one-half, was home —and letting everyone know it when Mrs. Smith came down the red-carpeted stairs into the drawing room. He was protesting with healthy cries some maternal decisionSaid his mother. “He doesn't see why he can't come down and be interviewed too.” She explained that a nurse, cook and maid are her staff in the New York apartment, but she usually takes the children on a daily afternoon visit to Central Park, which faces the apartment. Won’t Tell Age Jean Kennedy Smith won’t tell her age—“ Just say I’m the youngest sister,” she laughed. She attended schools in England when her father was ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, and was graduated in 1949 from Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart, at Purchase, N.Y. She majored in English and history. She and Smith w’ere married in 1956, with Francis Cardinal Spellman of the Archdiocese of New York officiating. Like the rest of the Kennedys, she is athleticsminded, shoots golf in the 90s, and joins the others in touch football and skiing. Brunette, blue-eyed Jean is the smallest of the Kennedy sisters, with a height of five feet seven and one-half inches to Pat’s five feet nine and Eunice’s five eight and one-half. She weighs 128 pounds and gets a beauty salon to streak her casual, short bob into a sun-bleached effect. i She rarely wears a hat and for church her head covering is a mantilla, similar to the head-dress often worn by her sister-in-law, Jacqueline Kennedy. Os the First Lady, Jean Smith says “She has done quite a remarkable j0b...1 can't think of any mistakes she has made. She has no airs...” Likes Casual Clothes Mrs. Smith prefers casual clothing and her wardrobe is full of suits. “I don’t buy -from any one special designer,” she said- “I just wander around.” At the moment, she was wearing a pale gray and white suit in nubby wool from the Paris designer Yves St. Laurent. Mrs. Smith is active with the Kennedy Child Study Center, New York, which helps retarded children. It is one of several centers supported by the foundation her father established in memory of her brother, Joseph Jr., who was killed in World War 11. She sees no reason for criticism of three brothers in high federal office and lets slide by references to a “Kennedy dynasty” except to say “I think it is wonderful... inspiring.” Next: Ethel, Bobby’s wife.

Great Plains Farmers Fear New Dust Bowl By JOSEPH H. CARTER United Press International KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) — Farmers in the Great Plains remember the 1930 s and look anxiously at the sky There is talk of another dust bowl. The topsoil is dry and cracking. The dust blows in Kansas. Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. The word on the lips is ominous: Drought. Some oldtimers predict they may be in for six years of it. It was drought that changed the face of the nation in the dust bowls of the 19305. Today, it has wider implications. It may have great bearing on the national wheat referendum May 21 on the government’s wheat price support program, regarded as a major test of the Kennedy administration’s farm policy. “When times and crops are good, farmers don’t think they need the government’s help,” said a crop expert. “When things get rough, they’reconsider.” And things are rough in the Plains where the wheat should wave golden. For weeks, there has been little or no rain. The winds are warm and dry. Suburban homeowners see the effect in the cracks in the lawn, the earth pulling away from the foundations of their homes. The farmers see it in the cracked and dusting topsoil, in the behind-schedule plantings, in dollars lost beyond recovery. “One good day's rain,” is what they are asking. Wheat crops already had been hard-hit by winter kill and cutworms. Only the rain could save them. A survey of farm leaders across the wheat belt showed all of them worried. “They are plowing up a little wheat due to the dry spell this spring,” said Charles Fischer of the Texas experimental station near Lubbock. “These are the payoff months for wheat —where rainfall either makes or breaks a wheat crop.” Dr- Raymond Olsen, head of the agrdnomy department at Kansas State University, says a lot of wheat could be saved—“if we get rain within the next few

Four Persons Drown In Slate Wednesday By United Press International The hot summer season of drownings in Indiana is still weeks away, but the state recorded an unusual toll of four water deaths in a period of a few hours Wednesday. Two young boys fell from a log near a pier in Hermit’s Lake near their Crown Point area home. A Louisville man fell out of a motor boat and vanished in the Ohio River. And a hospital patient drowned in White River at Indianapolis. The Lake County brothers who drowned were Timothy Scanlon, 10, and Daniel Scanlon, 7. Their 4-year-old brother, Theodore, saw the boys slip from the log. He ran for help. Authorities said relatives told them the boys were good swimmers. But it appeared they were overcome by the shock of the cold water and could not make it to safety. Firemen pulled the bodies from the water some time later. Charles Vincent White, 27, and Kermit Duvall, Louisville were testing White’s outboard motorboat in the Ohio River near Jeffersonville when White fell overboard. Duvall told authorities White was in the stern working bn the engine when he tumbled into the water. Coast Guard boats searched until dark for the body but failed to find it and scheduled a new search today. At Indianapolis, Richard Shirley, 39, Indianapolis, a patient in a Veterans’ Administration hospital, slipped away from his bed in the institution Wednesday night, walked across the street in his pajamas and disappeared in White River. His body was recovered this morning. Baking Hint One cup of sifted flour to 14-cup of shortening is the standard proportion of flour to shortening in pie crust. However, as little as V 4 -cup of shortening may be used, especially when soft wheat or cake flour is used. days.” In eastern Colorado, Agriculture Commissioner Paul Swisher said, “If we don’t get some rain out here pretty quick, we’ll be in a real mess.”

More Birth Control Research Is Urged

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Presi dent Kennedy favors more government support for research on human reproduction. But he refused Wednesday to take a stand on a proposal for federal research on birth control. The President would not commit himself on a Roman Catholic doctor’s program to develop methods of birth control acceptable to all religious groups. Kennedy’s views on the explosive question were sought at his news conference shortly after the National Institutes of Health disclosed that it plans to expand its research program in reproduction biology. The NIH now is spending about $2.4 million on reproduction research and in the coming fiscal year will provide about $4 million more for studying the biology of human reproduction. Hie National Academy of Sciences, in a report last week, urged U.S. participation in an international effort to deal with the “problem of uncontrolled population growth.” In a book published this week, Dr. John Rock, a Roman Catholic MAN IN NO HURRY—For mer Argentine dictator Juan Peron has a smile for sightseers ogling his residence-in-exile, Madrid, Spain.

physician who pioneered development of the oral contraceptive, pleaded for a sharp increase in NIH research on birth control. He predicted that this would lead io perfection of- the rhythm or “safe period” method, the only one morally acceptable to the Roman Catholic Church- He said it also might lead to the discovery of other "natural” methods of birth control which would be safe, effective and acceptable to all religious groups. At his news conference, Kennedy was asked how he felt about the academy’s suggestions and Rock’s book. Kennedy said the NIH is already supporting “very useful” research on human fertility, and this work “should be continued.” He said the United States is already participating in United Na- • tions studies of fertility. “If your question is, can we do more, should we know more about the whole reproduction cycle, and should this information be made more available to the world so that everyone can make their own judgment. I would think it would be matter which we could certainly support. “Whether we are going to support Dr. Rock’s proposal, which is somewhat different, is another question,” Kennedy said. Midwest Grainmen In Plea For Help WASHINGTON (UPI) — Midwester grainmen complained bitterly today that the railroads which serve them are being forced to subsidize eastern rail lines. The delegation from Kansas and Nebraska, flanked by senators and congressmen from those states, were scheduled to appeal to the Interstate Commerce Commission this afternoon for immediate help. Midwestern railroad boxcars, needed for grain shipments, are being held and used by eastern lines. They find it cheaper to pay the average $2.88 daily rental than invest the $9,000-835,000 required to build a car, or to repair those now out of service. The Burlington Railroad estimates it- has the use of only about 70 per cent of its boxcars now, compared to the 90 per cent it requires to handle demand. The on-line supply was even smaller earlier this year but indirect pressure from Congress and the Association of American Railroads was credited with prompting the return of some cars. Bills have been introduced in both House and Senate which would authorize the ICC to set the daily rental at a fee intended to encourage railroads to build their own cars. Eleven railroads serving the central part of the country support that proposal.
