This morning for tile third lino Mrs. Kennedy paid her third visit to the coffin in the Rotunda. She and her brothers In-law knelt briefly at one end of the coffin as sho hud twice Sunday. She did not kiss the casket today as she had on the two previous occasions. The widow of the nation's 35th President boro heroically the burden of her grief, but found it difficult lo surrender his earthly remains. Sho has. not been able to sop arale herself from him.

Going Into Seclusion After today's rites sho is ex pected to go into seclusion where she can mourn alone and unobserved. Cherishing history and know ing their place In it, .Mrs. Ken nedy took her children, John Jr and Caroline, to the Capitol Sun day to fix in their memories the national homage paid to their father. They rode behind tho horse drawn caisson and the riderless black horse lo the sound of muf fled drums. They saw the crowds, the uniforms, the flags and the sorrow. The 34-ycar-old widow must have remembered tho previous joyous trip to the Capitol In the. inaugural parade not quite three years ago. Today is John-John's third birthday. Instead of a celebra tion for the little boy, it will be a national day of mourning for his father. Mrs. Kennedy walked be hind the casket of her slain hus band in a funeral procession from the white House to St Matthews' Cathedral, six blocks away. For a widowed First Lady to walk behind the caisson in a final tribute to her husband is unprecedented. N Goes to Arlington From the church she went to Arlington National Ceme tery for tho burial of tho man she married 10 years ago. This afternoon at the White House she planned to meet the heads of state and potentates, the greatest array of dignitaries ever to pay solemn homage to a dead American president. Among them will be President Charles dp Gaulle of France, who once said "the only thing he wanted to take back from Amerira was Jacqueline Kenne dy." To the admiration of millions. she has shown strength and de termination. She has remem bored others in her sorrow. She has been doing what must be done packing up to leav; the White House. She has considerately offered her help to her successor, Mrs. Lyndon B, Johnson, in the Job! which won her personal acclaim ! On Jan. 20, 1961, inauguration! day, the world rc.ioiced with her. Today the world weeps with her. n Final Journey For Kennedy Follows Inauguration Route He Took 34 Months Ago By BRUCE ACNEW WASHINGTON (UPI) The body of slain President Ken nedy began its last journey through the capital at 10:48 a.m., EST. It was a sombre retracing of the route Kennedy had followed in triumph after his inaugura tion 34 months ago. A crowd of 20,000 jammed the Capitol Plaza, bareheaded and silent, as the coffin of the 35th President of the United States was carried down the long Capitol steps by its uni formed bearers. Waiting at the bottom were Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline, her face hidden by a black veil, and his two brothers, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The band began to play, Hail to the Chief." The young Chief. The dead Chief. The crowd stood silent in a hushed city. "Hall To Chief Many of them had waited in Page 2 The Newt-Review Mon., Nov. 25, 1963 Nation Pays Final Tribute To (Continued From Page 1) stroyed in his youth an "eternal flame" will burn at the head of his grave. It is reminiscent of the eternal light which burns under tho Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Another burns in Gcttys burg in memory of Civil War soldiers. This one was lighted on this brilliantly sunny afternoon by Mrs.. Kennedy. Then the flag was presented to the widow. President Johnson escorted her to the waiting Urn ousine. Conducts Mast The pontifical requiem Mass preceding burial on a grassy slope in Arlington National Cem etery, was conducted in the 65- year-old St. Matthews Cathe dral by Richard Cardinal Cush-! ing of Boston, the friend and pastor who had performed the Kennedys' marriage ceremony in 1953 and baptized their chil dren, Caroline and John Jr. ( Caroline will be 6 on Wednes day. The slain President's be loved "John-John" was 3 today the day of his father s fu neral. , 1 . The last journey for the man who always will be remembered by his countrymen as the jaunty and bouyant and deeply dedicat ed JFK began at 10:48 a.m EST. That was when his flag draped casket left the great Kotunda of the Capitol where three other martyred presidents also had lain in state. It was drawn by seven gray horses to the Whito House and thence to St. Matthews. Widow Follows Casket The slain President was fol lowed all the way on his last journey by his lovely 34-year-old widow, who three times had knell in prayer beneath the Capitol dome beside his casket. Flanked by her brothers in law, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken ncHy and Sen. Edward M. Ken nedy, she walked the six blocks from the White House to the old brick cathedral with its 200-foot high copper-covered domo. She walked erectly, firmly, resolute ly. : A church bell tolled, a choir on the grass outside the White House sang hymns, drums play ed a soft tattoo. Caroline and John Jr. rode to the old red-brick church in a car. When they joined their mother, John-John, bewildered by tho solemnity, cried for a moment. His mother spoke softly to him, and his tears stopped. All along the way from tho White House to tho cathedral and In the streets around the cathedral tens of thousands of Americans stood in silence. No words came from these countrymen of the man who died at a sniper's hands on Fri day. Only an occasional sob. Among those in the vast and glittering cathedral, with its magnificent red and-white mar ble altar, was I woman who had been weeping for Jacque line. She was Mrs. Eisenhower, whose eyes were wet and red A moment before the Mass began.

Funeral arrangements will be announced later by Wilson's Chapel of the Rosas. line all night in hopes of pass ing through the Rotunda under the Capitol dome where the President lay in state only to be turned away when time ran out. "Hail to the Chief" ended and the band began a hymn "Oh God of Loveliness." The bearers carried the coffin down the stairway, flanked by a color guard. A lone sailor carrying the President's colors followed behind. The casket was placed atop its caisson, a piece of military equipment older than Kennedy was. It was the same caisson which carried the body of Franklin D. Roosevelt through the same saddened Washington streets 18 years before. Last Procession Starts At the foot of the marble stairs, across from Kennedy s widow and brothers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the com mandant of the Coast Guard stood at attention. Then, with muffled drums Kennedy bore the casket into the cathe dral, they removei their hats. The cardinal, in the resplendent robes of his office, sprinkled holy water on the still flag-cov ered coffin. Behind Mrs. Kennedy in the cathedral sat the leaders of Congress and the Cabinet and the chiefs of state from other lands. Mrs. Rose Kennedy, the Presi dent's mother, and Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jacqueline's mother, heard the magnificent words uttered by Cardinal Cush-; ing.- No flowers were on the altar. Luigi Vena, a Boston tenor who sang at the Kennedys' wedding, came here to sing the Ave Maria at his funeral. Echoing under the great vault of the church came the words "Requiescaf in pace'1 Rest, in peace The "Rest, in Peace" Mass for America's first Roman Cath olic President was offered in the presence of 1,200 persons who had come from near and far to make a final gesture of love or respect. "Life is not taken away life is but changed," intoned white-haired Cardinal Cushing, Hi he offered the ancient Catho lie prayer for the departed: "Be merciful, we beseech Thee, O Lord, to the soul of thy servant, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, whom You have just called out of this world He put his hope and trust in You: Do not then let him un- dcrgo the pains of hell, but bring him to happiness without end." By the side of the grief- numbed young widow was Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, the lato President's brother and closest lo him of all in the closely knit Kennedy family. Among the mourners were such diverse world leaders as Prince Philip of Britain; Anas- tas I. Mikoyan, first deputy pre micr of Russia: President Charles de Gaulle of France; Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany; King Baudouin of Belgium; President Eamon Do Valcra of Ireland; and Sir Alec Douglas-Home new prime minister of Britain. One of Kennedy's favorite hymns, the Ave Maria, was sung before the Mass by Luigi vena, a Boston tenor who also sang at the late President s wedding. The cathedral choir then sang the ancient funeral hymn "Li bera Me" (which begins with the words, "Deliver me, oh Lord, from everlasting death ') In a new setting by the Italian composer Perosi. The service conducted by Car dinal Cushing was what is known technically as a "low" Mass, which means that it was the simplest type of Mass, spok en rather than sung, with a single priest officiating rather than the three who would have been required had the family chosen a Solemn High Mass There was no eulogy. Insofar as the service itself went, the deceased son of the church be fore the altar might have been an unknown laborer rather than the President of the United! states.

STANDARD Nf ATING OILS throbbing, John Fitzgerald Ken nedy was borne on his last pro cession through the capital of the nation he had led. ' Behind the caisson, a walking soldier led the black, riderless horse with boots reversed in the stirrups, which traditionally follows the body of a fallen leader. As it did Sunday, the black horse jerked its head against its bridle, and drummed its hooves on the pavement in nervous distress The caisson left the Capitol grounds and, at 11:10 a.m turned sharply onto Pennsyl vania Avenue, The crowds packed densely along the cortege route were dressed warmly against the chill weather. Many had shiv ered through the night, waiting. Three clergymen marched slowly in front of the horse drawn caisson, leading it to ward the cathedral, where Rich ard Cardinal Cushing of Boston waited to perform the final fu neral rite. The great government build ings along Pennsylvania Avenue cast long shadows, so that the caisson passed from light to dark, and then to light again, as it moved past the watchers. In the sunshine, tho wooden spokes of the wheels glistened as if wet. As the procession moved to ward the White House, the great of the nation and the world already were assembling. World Leaders Wait Waiting at the White House were French President Charles de Gaulle, Britain's Prince Philip, and the other world leaders who would follow on foot as Mrs. Kennedy walked behind the coffin of her hus band from his home to the ca thedral. Others gathered at the ca thedral. Former President Harry S. Truman arrived at 11:30 a.m. His daughter Margaret had to help him up the steps. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roose velt who had succeeded to the presidency when William Mc Kinley was assassinated in 1901 entered the still incompleted cathedral, a 65-year-old church drab on the outside but a glit tering jewel within. New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and his wife were there just a few minutes be fore former Vice President and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon. An Arab diplomat arrived in flowing desert robes black and white, the colors of mourning. There was a delegation of House members, also Alabama Gov. George Wallace, his bitter disputes with Kenned yforgot- tcn. West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt. . .AFL - CIO President George Mcany . . . astronaut John Glenn. . .the Rev. Billy Graham, world leaders and diplomats, filing two by two in to the church physical evi dence that a world mourned. Mrs. Kennedy followed her husband's body from the Capitol to the White House in a black limousine. But she wanted to go the rest of the way on foot. At the White House, she left the car, was met by State De partment protocol chief Angicr Riddle Duke, and escorted to the side of the columns in front of the north portico. The navy choir sang a hymn. Third Birthday Anniversary Caroline and John Jr. were taken to the limousine by Secret Service agents. It was the third birthday anniversary of the little boy whose daddy called bin. "John-John." Caro line will be six on Wednesday. The procession moved off to ward the cathedral. j The widow of the President marched firmly and resolutely.! To her right, Robert Ken nedy. To her left, Sen. Edward Kennedy. j The procession moved slowly: down the curved Whito House driveway toward the northwest gate. This time they walked to the wail of bagpipes. Behind tho Kennedy family on foot came the mighty of the world. De Gaulle marched solemnly. wearing the olive drab uniform of a French marshal. At one point he removed his hat and carried it. H walked straight and stiff, looking down at his feet. Queen Frederika of Greece was one of the marching mour ners.

Nation's New President Plans To Receive Many Of World's Great Leaders WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi dent Johnson led his fellow citi zens and the mighty of the earth today in mourning a fall-l en comrade, John ritzgerald Kennedy. The new Chief Executive of the United States, ramrod straight, his face etched with sadness, joined with millions around the world in paying his last respects to the slain Presi dent. . But within hours after the last, sad rites for his former chief, Johnson must take up anew the great burdens of the office so suddenly thrust upon him. He planned a reception for the many foreign heads of state attending the funeral, the great vest and with grief in his eyes, followed the caisson. As the caisson left the White House grounds, a woman stand ing on the curb dropped a hand kerchief at her feet. She let it lie there. It was not a time to move. Walking behind the caisson, to the sobbing skirl of Scottish bagpipes, East and West, Com munist and free, the representa tives of the world's nations were momentarily united. The new President, Lyndon B. Johnson, and his wife walked. Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan walked. West German Chancellor Lud wig Erhard walked. Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pear son walked. King Baudouin of the Belgians walked. Mrs. Kennedy, still erect and veiled head held high, arrived at the church at almost noon. The children arrived a mo ment later and joined hor. John John who Sunday at the Capi tol wanted a flag to take home for his daddy apparently was beginning to understand part of it. He cried for a moment. His mother conforted him. The foot pilgrimage to the cathedral took only about 10 minutes. Richard Cardinal Cushing met Mrs. Kennedy and the chil dren at the church entrance. He put his arm around Mrs. Ken ney's shoulder., He bent down and kissed Caroline. He patted John-John on the head... Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York also stood on the church steps. The late President's closest White House aides, and his full cabinet, walking behind the casket, arrived at the cathedral and entered. Bells Chime Softly Mrs. Kennedy's mother, Mrs. Hugh D. Auchinloss, arrived with Mrs. Kennedy's half-sister, Janet, and Mr. Auchincloss. Bells chimed softly from other churches of other faiths as the last of the President's close friends entered the church. A plane flew overhqad. An auto horn honked in the dis tance. Almost the last minute now. The Rev. Martin Luther King, a late arrival, hurried into the cathedral at 12:09 p.m. The small chiHren of Robert Ken nedy hustled in. At 12:10 p.m. the military honor guard moved t6 the casket. They unbuckled the straps that had held it to the caisson. A Marine unlatched a wooden barrier from the rear of the caisson. An Army band broke the si lence with ruffles and flourishes and then, again, "Hail to the Chief." Cardinal Cushing and the other prelates walked down the cathedral steps.
