The curious and mourners still
come.
An unidentified woman and
her teen-aged daughter, dressed
in black, knelt in the snow Sun
day to lay a wreath near the
spot. Many bowed their heads
in prayer.
The weather has changed
from a balmy, sunlighted 68 de
grees Nov. 22 to a sub-freezing,
snowy pre-Christmas gloom.
Dallas, aware of the futility
of grieving, braved the slippery
footing that followed the trag
edy and worked to redeem it
self. The Methodist churches
Dallas started a $100 days of
love" campaign. Bishop William
C. Martin urged citizens in full
page newspaper ads to "carry
the spirit of Christmas charity,
good will, love into the new
year."
This conservative, Republican
city felt a political change. The
Dallas Morning News said Sun
day: "On Nov. 22, ironically, it
suddenly became socially ac
ceptable to be a Democrat.
"Although there is little doubt
the GOP is still the stronger or
ganizing force in the county,
the ever-present hand of fate
already has begun etching signs
of change."
Christmas decorations in the
city were gay, but there were
reports that retail sales were
off. "I guess it was partly the
warm autumn," one merchant
said, "and that terrible thing."

Dec. 30 at the LBJ Ranch in
Texas. It concerns future pur
chases of (he solid-iuel Jlinute

will permit the President to ex

money requests for new Army
weapons by as much as $1 bil

$3.2 billion.
Other big money cuts for the
new defense budget are being
aimed at weapons for the stra

no more bombers being built
and the heaviest missile ex
