The chief executive relaxed . in comfort with a growing number of early season arrivals at this Florida Coast resort where the bathing beach long ago gave way to lavish estates. He may put aside reports and papers for two excursions into town to attend Feast of the Im maculate Conception Services at St. Edward's Church, and possibly to look over the house where he and his family will spend the Christmas holidays. Andrew T. Hatcher, acting press secretary, said Kennedy had no schedule, official or social, for the day. He announced no appoint ments, and Hatcher listed his only guest as David F. Powers, a po litical supporter from Kennedy's first congressional campaign and now White House receptionist. Whether Kennedy would return to Washington late today or Satur day was uncertain.
