Mass Background
Vatican City (UPD Record
ed guitar music in some in
stances provides a fine back
ground for the mass, a group
of United Slates priests here
for the Vatican Ecumenical
council told a news confer
ence Saturday.
Their comments came as
the council ended its third
week of discussion with a de
bate on sacred music and the
instruments which may be
used in church.
The music and instru
ments come under the
broad topic of the liturgy, or
public worship. The present
rules governing the music arc
almost a half-century old.
The U. S. priests, taking
their key from the wider
council debate, said organ mu
sic most often found in west
irn churches can be impracti
cal for missions and outposts
in jungles and other places
where even a compact "camp''
organ is hard to carry.

Distinguished Group
Pays Final Tribute
At Roosevelt Rites
Hyde Park. N. Y.-H'PP-Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt, the shy and
self-imagined "ugly duckling"
orphan who in womanhood
found true beauty through
service to humanity, rests in
death beside her husband in
the rose garden they had tend
ed together in life.
Under a heavy November
sky, with a light rain that
started with the Lord's Prayer
and continued through the
lowering of the casket, the
"First Lady of the World"
was buried Saturday after
noon alongside the grave of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
32nd president of the United
States. They had been parted,
until now, by Franklin Roose
velt's wartime death in office
in 1945.
Distinguished Mourners
President Kennedy and for
mer Presidents Eisenhower
and Truman headed a group
of distinguished mourners who
came through the autumn
seared mid-Hudson hills to the
ancestral Roosevelt estate,
country home of the late
President's family since 1819.
The 78-year-old Mrs. Roose
velt, niece of President Theo
dore Roosevelt, died Wednes
day in New York after a battle
of more than two years with
anemia and tuberculosis.
After a heavy early morn
ing rain, the sky began clear
ing blue with floating
patchy clouds shortly be
fore the funeral service start
ed at 2:10 p.m. in the quaint
115-year-old stucco St. James
Episcopal church.
A gentle breeze ruffled the
huge pine trees overlooking
the grave and fluttered the
bright flowers in the 40
wreaths set on stands behind a
great white oblong headstone
bearing the names of both
Franklin Delano and Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt.
The stone was still wet and
glistening when the Rev. Dr.
Gordon L. Kidd, for 16 years j
Mrs. Roosevelt's rector at St. j
James, delivered a graveside
eulogy saying that the world
had suffered an irreparable
loss.
Shortly before 2 p.m., the
President escorted Mrs. Ken
nedy up the short walk to the
church. She was wearing a
black suit and black mink
hat and he wore a dark blue
suit.
Following them were the
tribute

man Daniel, New York Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller, Adlai
E. Stevenson, Mayor and Mrs.
Robert F. Wagner of New
York, Chief Justice and Mrs.
Earl Warren, and Justice and
Mrs. Arthur Goldberg.
Others included Assistant

mer Treasury Secretary Hen

man, former Postmaster Gen
eral James A. Farley, and
U.S.I.A. Director Edward R.

Overflowing
Vice President and Mrs.
Lyndon B. Johnson and the
Trumans occupied a pew sec
tion with the Kennedys dur
ing the 30-mlnute service in
the red-carpeted, stained-glass-windowed
church. Across
from them in the dark oak
pews sat Eisenhower and
Rockefeller, among others.
The church has a seating ca
pacity of about 200 and it was
filled to overflowing.
Members of the family ar
rived at 2:10 p.m., led by Mrs.
Roosevelt's daughter, Mrs.
Anna Roosevelt Halstcd, and
her husband, Dr. James Hal
sled. Franklin, Jr., directed
the others to scats'; James, the
oldest son, bowed his head,
son John and wife knell mo
mentarily, and Elliott fol
lowed. The intermittent sun faded
and the weather turned blust
ery as the coffin was rolled
from the church at 2:45 p.m.
The funeral cavalcade moved
off under lowering skies.
Hundreds of children stood
along the road with their par
ents. More than 3,000 persons
lined the route to the Roose
velt estate.
Bugle Sounded
The coffin was carried to
the grave, the four Roosevelt
brothers following it. Mrs.
Kennedy bit her lip while
Truman. Kennedy, and Eisen
hower stared at the ground.
Rain fell. Somewhere be
hind the tall hedge a lone bu
gle sounded taps. Many wom
en in the crowd wept when
the final note of the call died
away over the Hudson.
Truman and Eisenhower
looked at each other, smiled,
and shook hands. Kennedy
walked over and shook hands
with both.
The mourners at the grave
included Comedian Danny
Kaye, in a tan raincoat and
hat. A burly man stood in
front of the crowd throughout
the grave service, holding a
hat, unnoticed by almost all.
He was Mike Reilly, head of
the White House secret ser
vice during the FDR years. He
aid he "Just had" to come to
the service.

that particular position on the
general election ballot.
Redden was declared offi

tabulation found Dumas to be

in a series of bank robberies
on the east coast. Wilcoxson's
alleged partner, Frederick
Nussbaum, was seized in Buf
falo, N. Y., a week ago.
Acting on a tip, some 30
FBI agents staked out Wilcox
son's home Friday. Because
Jacqueline Rose's 14-month-old
son was inside, the agents
decided not to move against
the home itself for fear the
boy might be hurt.
Their patience was reward

Confirmation By
Defense Officials
Expected Soon
U.S. Inspects Four
Ships With Missiles
Washington - (UPD - U. S.
Surveillance operations have
counted all 42 Soviet missiles
listed by Russia on ships out
ward bound from Cuba, in
formed sources said Saturday.
A formal Defense depart
ment announcement of this
was expected soon, possibly
today.
The sources said the mis
siles were now aboard Soviet
ships and at sea.
The Defense department
has said that six Soviet ves
sels have been "inspected" by
Navy warships and that four
of them apepared to be carry
ing missiles.
In addition, newsmen flew
over another Soviet ship Sat
urday afternoon the freight
er 1 v a n Folzunov and
counted five cigar-shaped
rockets on board.
The destroyer Vesole inter
cepted the Ivan Polzunov at 2
p.m EST and visually in
spected the missiles in the
second such known encounter
of the day. Another one took
place early in the morning.
Vasily V: Kuznctsov, the
special Soviet negotiator on
Cuba now in New York, has
informed the United States
that all of the Russian mis
siles which he put at 42
would be on their way out of
the Caribbean by Monday.
The ship Inspected at dawn
Saturday was the Soviet
freighter Anosov. An "along
side inspection" of its cargo
was maae oy tne destroyer
Barry, which intercepted the
vessel Friday night and tailed
it throughout the dark hours
until daylight.
There was one complication
with the Anosov. It bluntly
refused the Barry's request
that is uncover all of the mis
siles lashed lo the deck. To do
it said, would be against
the instructions of the Soviet
government.
But the Pentagon later in
dicated that the freighter had
complied sufficiently to sat
isfy the terms of the limited
inspection. It said the surveil
lance had been completed
without incident."
Final removal of all of the .
missiles would end the major
part of the military threat
posed by their placement in
Cuba. It appeared the next
steps, in the Cuban crisis
might turn into a political
chess game that may take
weeks to resolve.
There were somo indica
tions the next move will come
Monday, the deadline prom
ised by Kuznctsov for com
pletion of the missile with
drawal. In New York, Carlos
Lechuga, Cuba's ambassador
to the United Nations, told a
reporter that despite a week
ofl ntensive diplomatic activ
ity there, "nothing of impor
tance probably will happen
before next Monday." He did
not elaborate.
Talks between Soviet First
Deputy Premier Anastas
Mikoyan and Prime Minister
Fidel Castro on Russo-Cuban
relations in the wake of the
missile withdrawal have been
temporarily recessed.
