Mrs. Kennedy Told of Third Violent Death
M rs. Rose Kennedy

Xavier Church in Hyan-

HYANN1S POIT\ Mass.
(AP) — Mrs. Rose Kenne-
dy was awakened early
Thursday to be told for the
third time in her life that
one of her sons had died
violently while in the serv-
ice of his country.
This time it was Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.
Y.) who died of an assas-
sin’s bullet just as did his
brother, the late President
John F. Kennedy, nearly
five years ago. Her oldest
son, Joseph P. Kennedy
jr„ was killed in action
while flying a navy bomb-
er in World War II.
Her niece, Miss Ann
Gargan, who makes her
home with the family,
went to Mrs. Kennedy's
room at 6 a.m. to tell her
that her son Robert had
died an hour earlier.
Mrs. Kennedy went to
the 7 a.m. mass, a high
mass of requiem for the
dead senator, at St. Fran-
cis Xavier Church in near-
by Hyannis. Even as attor-
ney general, Robert sever-
al times stepped in and
acted as altar boy at the
little white church during
summer vacations.
More than 100 persons
attended the mass.
A member of the fam-
ily's staff drove Mrs. Ken-
nedy to the church from
the Kennedy compound of
summer homes on the
shore of Nantucket Sound.
She sat alone in a pew
near the front on the left
side of the church. She
wore a white coat and a
white lace mantilla, which
came down close over the
sides of her face.
Her only surviving son,

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy
(D-Mass.), and a son-in-
law, Stephen Smith, were
at the bedside of Robert
when he died in a Los An-
geles hospital, had been in
touch with Mrs. Kennedy
by telephone until well af-
ter midnight.
It was left, to later in 1he
morning for Edward Ken-
nedy to telephone news of
the latest family tragedy
to their ailing father, for-
mer Ambassador Joseph
P. Kennedy, who has been
incapacitated since he suf-
fered a stroke in 1961.
There was an air of
quiet about the seaside vil-
lage of Hyannis Port as
the word spread of Robert
Kennedy's death. The Ken-
nedy family has resided
here summers since the
Kennedy children were
small.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s
death has removed in a
tragic manner the chief
challenger to Vice Presi-
dent Hubert H. Hum-
phrey's quest for the Dem-
ocratic presidential nomi-
nation.
With the New York sena-
tor’s death, the fateful 1968
election year turned a fa-
tal corner and left w'hat
many observers see as an
uneven race between
Humphrey and his fellow
Minnesotan, Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy.
Although the Humphrey
name has not appeared on
any primary ballots, he
claims to have built up a
long lead by picking up
delegates in the tour back-
stage battles in the non-
primary states while Ken-
nedy and McCarthy were
haitling it nut in primaries.
Many observers felt only
the Kennedy mystique and
dash could overcome
Humphrey's strong base of
Democratic ‘'establish-
ment” support among par-
ty leaders and labor
unions.
Humphrey and his aides
had refused to speculate
on the political impact of
the Kennedy shooting and,
along with McCarthy,
clamped an indefinite mor-
atorium on campaigning
even before the senator’s
death.
"We think it’s not only
inappropriate to specu-
late,” said a Humphrey
aide, “we think it’s offen-
sive.”
After the Kennedy shoot-
ing, a strategist said,
Humphrey aides sent ap-
peals to supporters asking
that planned caucuses of
Ohio and Michigan delega-
tions, where the vice presi-
dent hoped to nail down
more support, be post-
poned.
And, the strategist said,
Humphrey called off plans
to begin campaigning in
New York for the Empire
State's primary. He can-
celed a schedule calling
for him to open his Califor-
nia campaign June 13.
McCarthy, returning to
Washington Wednesday
night, said he would confer
with President Johnson
and the vice president "be-
fore taking on other politi-
cal activities of any kind."
A Humphrey aide had
said the vice president
would welcome a meeting
with his old friend and po-
litical ally from Minneso-
ta.
Even while competing
for the Democratic nomi-
nation, Humphrey and
McCarthy have reportedly
continued to have private
chats.
Kennedy's death came
at a critical turning point
in the pre-convention cam-
paign.
With their primary
showdowns concluded,
Kennedy and McCarthy
were preparing to wrestle
Humphrey for votes in
states that pick their dele-
gates in caucuses and con-
ventions — or by non-bind-
ing primaries.
After his victories Tues-
day in the California and
South Dakota primaries —
which he had proclaimed
only moments before being
shot — Kennedy had 274',i
votes in the Associated
Press tabulation of Demo-
cratic National Convention
delegates already selected.
Humphrey has 3O8V2 and
McCarthy 234>/a in the AP
tabulation.
Humphrey has said he
has more than 600 pledged
delegates. But he has also
said it would be insulting
to the delegates to claim
he had the convention
locked up.
The delegate-rich states
of Illinois and New York
have yet to select their
delegates.

I cle by now. There are many Read-
ing Dvnamics graduates who
could read this page with full
comprehension in less than Si
\ seconds.
But don't be embarrassed about
vour slow reading. The simple tact
is that you don't read slowly by
average standards; but by the
standatdsof Reading Dynamics
you poke along at a snail's
pace—probably reading between
250 and 400 words per minute.
You are not alone. Most of your
ftiends and neighbors and many
highly placed professional peo-
ple—can't lead any faster than
I you. Many undoubtedly read at *
' considerably slower pace.
Most Reading Dynamics gradu-
ates can read an average novel in
less than the time it would take
theta to watch the Ed Sullivao
Show on Sunday night. And they
lead with full comprehension and
I complete enjoyment. You can,
too, once you have acquired the
extraordinary skill of Dynamic
Reading. .
Most Reading Dvnamics jfMdn-
■tes have now finished ibis ankle*
but please keep going.
Jn recent years over 350,000 peo-
ple have graduated Irotn Reading
Dynamics Institutes throughout
I the nation and abroad. All of these
people took the course with the
guarantee that their reading effi-
I ciency would at least tuple in the
short span of eight weeks. In vir-
tually everv case, when the student
attended class sessions and did the
required practice, this exciting
promise came true. Reading Dy-
namics makes you the same aston-
ishing guarantee: Vi e guarantee to
increase your reading efficiency at
least J times. We will tefund the
entire tuition to any student who,
I after completing minimum class
and study requirements, does not

efficiency combines speed and
comprehension, not speed alone^
Many people have already benefit.
