By HELEN THOMAS
United Press International
Washington - lUTO - Life on
the New Frontier just would
not be the same without Mrs.
Robert F. 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)

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

propaganda colors.
Thousands are arriving ev
ery day for the "Buona Pas
qua", and St. Peter's Square
will be crowded with pil
grims who have come for the
Pope's blessing. The church
will be ablaze with candles
in the innumerable chande
liers, and the rich red colors
of the hangings.
