gWyXysssZyssssXyxmm^^ In his brother’s steps I

By United Press International Robert Francis Kennedy diedj while trying to pick up the torch his older brother, John, dropped when he was murdered in Dallas four and one-half years, ago. He had, first with apparent reluctance and then with the gusto that typified the Kennedy clan, taken the mantle of leadership that came hand-in-hand with tragedy to the brood of Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy. He followed both of his older brothers—Joe Jr., and John—to violent deaths, Joe in a World War II plane crash and the late president in Dallas. It was his duty, in the Kennedy scheme of things, to pick up where they left off. Kennedy would have been 43 years old on Nov. 20, the same age of his brother when he was elected president. Bobby, a tough and wily campaign manager for his brother, played a key role in that election and only two nights ago— at his California victory celebrationsaid he now realized just how valuable campaign aides were. One Son Survives Despite much critical comment about the Kennedys and their supposed “divine right” to the presidency, the senator, in the 21/2 months as a presidential candidate, made it clear he did not see the nation’s highest office as inevitably his, or his younger brother, Ted’s. Sen. Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, DMass., is the youngest and only sUrvivor of the four Kennedy sons. During his campaign, Bobby repeated over and again that he believed the presidency should not be a matter of succession, but should be won by hard work and sacrifice. One of his hardest sacrifices came only 10 days ago when, ir the Oregon primary, he suffered the first defeat in the Kennedy clan’s 22-year skein of election campaigns.

At his death, Robert Kennedy had been in public life for a decade and a half, gaining early recognition as a racket-busting chief counsel of the Senate’s select Committee on Labor and Management Practices. , He was named attorney general after John Kennedy defeated Richard M. Nixon in 1960. Robert became the president’s closest adviser during the 34 months of the Kennedy administration. The senator, in some of his recent campaign appearances, acknowledged that he was prfly to blame for giving his brother advice that led to the Bay of Pigs fiasco in Cuba in 1961. Kennedy bore a remarkable physical resemblance to his older brother. Both had big shocks of unruly hair, although Robert parted his on the right, John on the left. Both were athletic and insisted that everyone around them keep in top physical shape. Both were expert boatsmen and excelled at touch football, the Kennedy clan’s family sport. Bobby was educated at Milton Academy in Milton, Mass., Harvard College and the Virginia Law School. Served in Navy Like President Kennedy, he served in the Navy, interrupting his college years to enlist as a seaman. After finishing law school, he went to work for the Justice Department as a lawyer and he managed John Kennedy’s first successful Senate race in 1952, then returned to Washington as assistant counsel for the Senate permanent invesgitations subcommittee. In 1954, he was named one of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce’s "10 outstanding young men in the United States.” After the president’s assassination in Dallas, Robert Kennedy ran for the Senate in his adopted state of New York. He

defeated popular Republican Sen. Kenneth Keating, in 1964, helped greatly by the Lyndon Johnson landslide. Kennedy never really fit into the Senate. He spurned the role of the quiet freshman, and frequently spoke out on the issues that meant so much to him—the war and the crises of the nation’s poor. His strong advocacy of welfare programs won him the adoration of poor whites, Negroes, Indians and other oppressed minorities. He also was a vigorous backer of gun control legislation. Kennedy was married in 1950 to Ethel Skakel of Greenwich, Conn. They had 10 children and were expecting an 11th. Pierre Salinger announced the body of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy would be flown from here before noon today to New York City to lie in state in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The body will be taken during the weekend to Washington for burial in Arlington National Cemetery. Terms killing "senseless act" INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—Governor Branigin termed the shooting of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy today a “senseless act” by “a cowardly fanatic” and expressed the “profound shock” of Hoosiers. “I join all Hoosiers in expressing our profound shock at the senseless act in Los Angeles last nigh t,” said Branigin. “Senator Kennedy is at the crest of his political career, attracting thousands across the land to his banner. That he should be stricken down at the hands of a cowardly fanatic brings grief to us all. “It is our fervent hope and prayer that he may recover quickly to continue the campaign for his principles and a life of service for' the country he loves so much.”

Salinger said plans still were being formulated but added “I suspect the senator will be buried in the plot of the late President John F. Kennedy.” Salinger had served as the late President’s press secretary and was active in the senator’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. “Some of the times I’m announcing are not as precise as I’d like them to be,” said Salinger. “The senator’s body will leave Los Angeles between 10 and 11 a.m. this morning on a jet provided by the White House. “The plane will fly to New York City and the senator’s body taken to St. Patrick's Cathedral where on Friday morning it will lie in state between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Saturday morning, there will be a Requiem Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Following that the body will be taken by train to Arlington National Cemetery where he will be buried. “We expect the route of travel from Union Station ir Washington will pass the Senate office building where he served in the U.S. Senate and the Justice Department where he served as attorney general,” Salinger said. “Aboard the plane carrying the senator’s body will be members of the family, friends and staff members.” Salinger, grim-faced and redeyed for lack of sleep, said among friends accompanying the body and family on the plane would be Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr., widow of the assassinated civil rights leader. Salinger said the Saturday Mass was planned for 10 a.m. The train carrying the senator’s body to Arlington would leave New York City at 12:30 p.m. The train’s arrival in Washington was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. with burial an hour latex in Arlington, Salinger said.

Predicts big rush of candidates

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) - Democratic state chairman Gordon St. Angelo predicted a “big rush of candidates next week” for party state convention nominations to be made June 21. As of Wednesday, only eight candidates had filed for 15 offices at stake, and two contests were assured. For nine offices no Democrats had made a formal statements of candidacy. In contrast, the Republicans have 30 official candidates and Linn trial awaits ruling BEDFORD, Ind. (UPI)—The trial of John J. Linn on firstdegree murder charges in the shooting deaths of his three small children was in recess today for interpretation of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on exclusion of jurors opposed to capital punishment. Judge H. Wayne Baker of Lawrence Circuit Court postponed continuance of the trial until next Tuesday after Prosecutor Robert Colker and defense attorney Robert N. Skinner agreed the transcript of the high court’s ruling should be studied. A jury was seated late in May to try Linn, then dismissed for more than a week during the Memorial Day holidays. When it returned to resume the case Tuesday, Baker told the jurors “an unusual thing has happened,” that the Supreme Court issued a decision which could affect “the conduct of this trial.”

U.S. 40 top 1967 killer

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) - U.S. 41 and U.S. 31 may have been the deadliest highways in Indiana from a standpoint of total traffic fatalities in 1967, but they ranked fourth and third, respectively, in terms of deaths per mile of roadway. Indiana Highways for Survival, Inc., said U.S. 40 was the worst killer with one death for every 3.94 miles, and U.S. 30 was the second worst with one every 4.46 miles. For U.S. 41 it was one for avery 5.73 miles and for U.S. 31 one for every 5.10 miles. Total deaths were 49 for U.S. 41, 48 for U.S. 31, 38 for U.S 40 and 33 for U.S. 30. The most deadly state highways were Indiana 46, with 21 deaths or one for every 7.56 miles of roadway, and Indiana 3, with 28 deaths or one for every 9.38 miles of roadway. The report said motorists who travel interstate highWays are “four times less likely to be killed.” It said the interstates handled one-third as much traffic as primary routes last year j but the primaries killed nine times as many motorists.

contests for all offices but three. GOP state chairman Buena Chaney attributed the interest ol his partyte candidates, to be nominated June 18, to “the smell of victory.” This prompted St. Angelo to respond “I hope they enjoy the aroma now. It will disappear on election day in November.” The top race at the moment on the Democratic side is between Lt. Gov. Robert L. Rock. Anderson, and Rep. Richard C. Bodine, Mishawaka, for governor. Both have been campaign, ing at a whirlwind pace for weeks. Cyprus talks BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI)— Preliminary talks to try to enc 4V2 years of strife between Greeks and Turks on the island of Cyrpus got under way Monday and the Greek representative, Glafkos Clerides, said he hoped regular negotiations could start on Cyprus in three weeks.
