Kennedy. The exuberant, good-looking wife of the attorney gen eral sets a fast pace for other Kennedy women and their se lect circle of friends. The mother of seven chil dren and with another baby on the way, the 35-year-old Mrs. Kennedy manages to keep one step ahead of her heavy commitments to her family and the outside world. She takes children in a gay stride, as she does life itself. In fact, the more the merrier. Her attitude was hap pily expressed when she went on a world tour with her hus band last year. She met the wife of a noted Indonesian painter and learned that the artist was the 10th of 21 chil dren. Sets The Pace "Your mother-in-law had 21 children!" she exclaimed. "Well, she set quite a pace, Isn't it wonderful." A little thing like pregnan cy can hardly stop "Ethel," as she is known to all offi cial Washington. In the area of people, she is considered a real "sport" outgoing, informal, spon taneous and gregarious. Her impulses are all positive and partisan. She says what she thinks and lets the chips fall where they may. She is de fensive about any criticism leveled toward the Kennedy operation. In her view peo ple are either for or against you. when it comes to the Ken nedy family, she is a "team" player as contrasted to her sister-in-law, Jacqueline Ken nedy, who prefers solo flights. Both women tackle sports wit ha vengeance. But Ethel Kennedy wants all the troops around when she is water skiing or leading the pack in a game of touch football. Her competitiveness was perhaps typified once when her daughter, Kathleen, 11, asked her mother: "Which is it better to be, on the offen sive or the defensive team?" Likes Offense Bast Well," her mother replied, "both are good, but Mommy likes offense best. That way you can make touchdowns. She accepts a challenge In fact there is no stopping her. Last year she performed over a complicated series of 10 jumps at the horse show. She confessed later that she had not been In a show ring for a dozen years. She has a lithe, trim fig ure and wears simple, sleeve less, expensive clothes. She also leans to sharply dramatic pink and chartreuse colors. She makes no intellectual pretenses. At a time when a higher premium Is being put on "culture, Ethel Kennedy remains devoted to show tunes, plays with happy end ings and zooks that don't depress. She is much more "help" politically that the First Lady and carries her load willingly for the party. She wen cam paigning in 1980 to help icr brother-in-law, John F. Ken nedy, win the White House. She charmed a lot of voters with her natural friendliness. She has a wary, quick wit and flings about such words as "terrific," "marvelous," and "fantastic." She speaks French well and is pushing her chil dren to learn languages. She gives the appearance of a young woman In a hurry. She is always rushing to a tea, to a luncheon or to a re ception where her presence means a lot to the sponsoring group. She gives much of her time, her devotion and often her home to charity. It has often been said that Ethel is more of a "Kennedy" than the Kennedys them selves. She is "everybody's fa vorite Kennedy and outdoes them," according to a close friend. In social-climbing Washing ton, people vie for invitations to her home, "Hickory Hill" at McLean, Va., almost as much as for White House bids. Sister Introduces Couple Ethel was introduced to Robert Kennedy by his sister, Jean, her roommate at Man hattanville college, while they were on a skiing party. They are a close couple, seem to share many interests and en joy each other. Their Hickory Hill menage can stand another child. But can it take another animal Many who have tried to count the pets have given up. But among them is a donkey, horse, five ponies, many dogs and cats and rabbits, guppies cockatoos and grasshoppers. After Kathleen the oldest, the children range down like this: Joseph, 10; Robert, 9 David, 7; Mary Courtney,, 6 Michael, 4 and Mary Kerry, 3 UssassaS Washington - Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy, exuberant wife of the United States attorney general and sister-in-law of the President, is shown taking her mount over a hurdle in iha Washington International Horsa show held last fall. Mrs. Kennedy is said to "out-Kennedy the Kennedys." (UPI) Wedding Set For Saturday Montague - Miss Loraine Gamma, who is to become the bride of Roger Burch, Satur day, April 27 at 11 o'clock morning rites in St. Joseph's Catholic church, was honored at a bridal shower given re cently by Mrs. Homer Swain and Mrs. Gene Andrews.

V mi - Vidi Visits Ashland - Melvin Hoy of Thompson Falls, Mont., visit ed recently In Ashland with his daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Laws, and with his son's family, the Bruce Hoys. 1 Rome-Italy is in the throes of another election, and Rome is again inundated with leaf lets, tossed from cars in promiscuous heaps, flutter ing and skimming along ave nues and streets. Loud speak ers blast propaganda all day long. The 40 foot high bill boards urge voters to "vota Communista", "vota Monarch ista", vota for 16 different parties. Huge banners span the wide avenues. Christian Democrats is the largest party in Italy; Com munist is the second. A mil lion and one-half Italians are still carrying the torch for Fascism. Their posters, are red, while and green in the form of a flame, and carry the letters M.S.I. Their claim Is, that they are the last ditch defense against Communism. It is not against the law to be a Fascist; it is, however, to glorify Mussolini. Recently this incident hap pened. The son of a rich chain store owner, who is In parlia ment, stood up in a meeting, pulled off his coat, under which was a black shirt - of the party, and shouted, "I de fended you In the war; I will not let you down now." Al though he was pulled down, nothing happened to him. Television Is being used for By MARGARET SCHULER the first time in Italy by poli ticians as election propaganda, to persuade the 35,000,000 voters. It is interesting be cause It seems to follow the American pattern. They start ed with press conferences. The candidates were question ed by journalists of all color ings. It comes on television between nine and 10 at night, the hours when most people watch, and now candidates talk as long as an hour. Par liament regulates the amount of time given to each party and propaganda is supervised by a special commission. Communists have been try ing to stir up feeling against the Americans because of the nuclear missiles. The Italian government is a supporter of the U.S. and their plan for NATO. But anti-Americanism is not a strong election weap on, as Americans are more popular here than in most of Western Europe, it is said. The general opinion is-, that the Christian Democrats-Fan-fari's party, will again win. The banners somehow seem Ironic at Easter time, in the great Eternal City. And it is pathetic to see several of the narrow downtown streets with white Easter decorations competing, with the blatant -.-SSr'.W IAUNMOMA1 TtWAJTt k V I BaafjBfl I I - IB VerJ area aarj J IUm NPwl BWaB.
