Goldwater Told While At Muncie MUNCIE, Ind. (UPI) — Sen. Barry F. Goldwater expressed shock and grief at President Kennedy’s assassination Friday and then went into seclusion at a relative’s home under the guard of a special police detail. Goldwater, who had been considered a potential rival of Kennedy in the 1964 presidential election, issued a statement through his Washington office calling the President’s assassination “shocking and dreadful,.” He retreated into the privacy of Mrs. John Drum’s home, where he arrived Friday for the funeral of his mother-in-law. Mrs. Drum—a cousin of Mrs. Goldwater—said “he will not come to the phone—he is not taking any calls.” A four-man special police detail met Goldwater when he arrived at Muncie airport in his private plane and stood guard around the Drum home. Detective Jim Peters said the special guard was a precautionary measure, undertaken by city police without prompting from the federal government agencies, and that there were no known threats on Goldwater’s life. The Arizona Republican came here for the funeral of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Davis Johnson. The 79-year-old woman-died Tuesday night in Phoenix, Ariz. A Goldwater aide said the senator would return to Washington Saturday afternoon immediately after the funeral. “It is both shocking and dreadful that a thing like this could happen in a free country,” the senator's statement said. “The President’s death is a profound lons to the nation aod the free world. He and I were personal friends. It is also a great loss to me. _ “Mrs. Goldwater and I offer our heartfelt sympathies to Mrs. Kennedy and the President’s family.’ Temporary Office Set Up In Hospital DALLAS (UPI) — Gov.

Grieftorn (Continued from Page Three) strong for a couple of days.” WASHINGTON (UPI) — The world which had toasted Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy on many a yesterday wept for her Friday. This once most fortunate of lovely ladles came home from Dallas, Texas, bearing a burden of grief too heavy for utterance. The crowds had been huge, their cheers deafening as they rode side by side through the city. Moments later she was cradling his wounded body in her arms, crying, “Oh, no.” Less than an hour later he was dead. They had been married 10 years, two months, and 10 days. “Somehow the assassin’s hastily fired bullets had missed her seated inches away on the President’s left. It was the second time in three and a half months that she had seen death strike

a loved one while sparing her. On Aug. 7, 1963, she had given birth prematurely to Patrick Bouvier Kennedy. Two days later he died. She made a brave recovery. On Oct. 1 she left for a two-week recuperative vacation in Greece and the Mediterranean. Back in the White HoUse, the 34-year-old Jackie changed her mind about something. She had shied away fro mpolitical travels with her husband. She changed her mind, she 'told a friend, because she felt that this time “he needs my help.” So she went on the Texas trip and planned to travel with him on other political journeys in the course of his campaign for reelection. She had never wanted to be first lady. But her husband’s career was hers, too, in away. She told an interviewer some months ago that “all the problems that arise for my husband I feel with him-, all through their development.” Stuckey Is Named To Falcon Club Randall Stuckey, 412 E.
