(Copyright 1960, Fairchild publications from UPI Telepholo) Mrs. Kennedy Changing Roles for Inauguration By PATRICK YOUNG United Presg International Washington-IUPII- Mrs. John Kennedy will watch her hus band take the oath of office as the 35th president of the United States on January 20, only eight years after she cov ered the first inauguration of President Eisenhower as a combination reporter- photog rapher-artist. Her name was Jacqueline Bouvier then and she was working for the Washington Times-Herald. A warm winter sun flooded the inauguration day crowd as she moved through the streets, recording her impres sions with ink drawings. The following day, her story and art work appeared and graph ically captured the inaugura tion day spirit. Her drawings included a woman eating a box lunch, a dancing Indian and a digni'icd, homburg wearing diplomat buying a hot dog. Jackie" was only 23, but in the year she had been working for the paper, her inquiring camera girl fea ture had become well known in the capital. Strange Events It seemed strange that the girl who had been voted the "most beautiful debutante" of 1948 in Newport, R.I., and New York, would become a cub reporter. But Jacqueline wanted to become a writer, even at $42.50 a week. As inquiring photographer, she asked some questions which were to become impor tant to her in later years, They included: "Should a can' didate's wife campaign with her husband? Do you think in auguration day should follow closer upon election day? How does a candidate's looks in fluence your vote?" Among the people she in terviewed were Vice Presi dent and Mrs. Richard M. Nixon, Mrs. Morrij Cafritz. Washington hostess, two of Mamie Eisenhower's nieces and the man she later married Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Senate's then most eligible bachelor. Her camera and note pad recorded the views of Nixon and Kennedy in 1953 when she asked them about the Sen ate pages. The also asked the pages about the senators.

"I notice that they are very quick boys, most of whom have a definite interest in pol itics. I've often thought that the country might be better off if we senators and the naces traded jobs," Kennedy said. Said Jerry Hoobler, a page, "Senator Kennedy's always being mistaken for a tourist by the cops because he looks so young. The other day he wanted to use- the special phones, and they told him, 'Sorry, mister, but these are reserved for senators." Jacqueline also interviewed Nixon's daughter, Patricia, shortly after her father was elected vice president. "What do you think of Sen ator Nixon now?" was the question. "He's always away," an swered Miss Nixon, then six. "If he's famous why doesn't he stay home?" Jacqueline ended her repor torial career shortly before her marriage to Kennedy with coverage of Queen Elizabeth's coronation in June, 1953. She returned to the United States and on September 12, 1953, she married John F. Kennedy in one of the biggest society weddings of the year. A short time ago, a reporter asked Mrs. Kennedy if she had really written the column herself. "Listen, I wouldn't sign my name to anything I didn't write," she said flatly. Californians Visitors Here Mr. and Mrs. Walter Ander son and three sons, Virgil, Russell and Jimmy, San Ber nardino, Calif., have left for their home after spending Christmas here with Mrs. Anderson's mother, Mrs. Opal Cox, and her two sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Parrack, 1305 Woodland avenue, and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Gemaehlich, 402 North Ross lane.

"Preserve or Be Engulfed" Anthropologist Declares w By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York IUPD To some, the bulldozer is a symbol of progress.

The relaxed mail lot looks outstanding in silk knits or silk-like synthetics. Some swimsuits feature draw string waistlines which soften bodices. Others are styled like rompers and are tied casually with string belts. Velvet and corduroy have moved into the fashion fore front. In Paris, corduroy suits are top of the list for popular ity. In London, it is velvet suits and evening coats with fur trimming. Shirt-style sweaters are a new addition to the style shops frequented by our Brit ish cousins. The sweaters but ton half-way down the front and reach to hip level. The covered-up look is new for evening, balanced by new ways to the . air-conditioned look.

PHONE SP3-S474 FOR RESERVATIONS SPECIAL FILET MIGNON-New when used discriminately. But he would like to see the, pres ervation of some of our natural heritage for us and future generations to con template and enjoy. Outhwaite is research con sultant to the Nature Centers For Young America, Inc., a recently formed organization to encourage villages, towns and cities to set aside - "while there is still time" - some part of the natural setting nearby for use, not as a for mal park, but to preserve the native flora and fauna ... a big slice of the area as it was before organization set in. Preserve Or Be Engulfed "The bulldozers have level ed the life out of the hills and the fields," says the center's brochure. Outhwaite adds, "If we don't start preserving soon, we'll be engulfed." "In so many parts of Ameri ca already," Outhwaite con tinued, "you drive 25 to 30 miles outside the city limits . . . still past nothing but housing developments." "There is no time to waste," he continued, in an interview. And the urgency with -which the anthropologist talked cre ated visions immediately of a land one day bare of the things we used to take for granted - fields, trees, grass, native flowers, streams and wildlife. "The centers would be used for both relaxation and edu cation," he said. "A way to teach children botany, zool ogy, conservation-better than they ever could learn them from books." Looks For Locations The anthropologist recently completed a 14,000-mile mo tor trip around the nation looking for likely locations for nature centers, for zoologi cal parks and museums. He said many communities already are aware of how urbanization is cutting back nature and are doing some thing about it. Stamford, Conn., is one of the pioneers arid has set aside close to 100 acres of streams and wood land. Outhwaite was secretary to the President's Committee on Demobilization after World War II and wrote the commit tee report which became the "GI Bill of Rights." At pres ent, he also is a member of the advisory board of RCA's advance design center.
