Father Bears Up Well
When Told of Slaying
HYANNIS PORT, Mass., Nov. 23 (AP).—The grief of a
father who has lost a son came today to 75-year-old Joseph
P. Kennedy, 21 hours after the rest of the world knew of the
President’s assassination.
The tragic news had been withheld from the elder Kennedy
until today because of his poor physical condition from a
stroke he suffered in Decem
ber. 1961.
, The younger of his two sur
viving sons Senator Edward
M. Kennedy. Democrat of Mas
sachusetts— broke the news to
his ailing father in an upstairs
bedroom of the main house in
the Kennedy Cape Cod com
pound.
Wife With Him
With him at the time were
his wife. Mrs. Rose Kennedy.
73, and a daughter. Mrs. Eunice
Shrlver, wife of Sargent Shriv
er, head qf the Peace Corps.
Also present was Dr. Russell
8. Boles. Jr., a neuro-surgeon
summoned from Boston to be
near the patient if needed.
Dr. Boles said Mr. Kennedy
took the news of his son’s
death “very well.’’ The elder
Kennedy displayed “tremen
dous courage," the doctor told
reporters.
Asked if the late President’s
father would be able to travel
to Washington for the funeral.
Dr. Boles replied: “Physically,
he's okay: he was in Chicago
three weeks ago.”
The family had been expected
to fly to Washington today, but
as an Intermittent drizzle be
came heavier, the family plane
Caroline remained parked at
Hyannis Airport.
Late in the afternoon a
source close to the family an
nounced Mrs. Rose Kennedy
would attend 7 a.m. mass Sun
day in Hyannis and other
members of the family the 8 or
9 o'clock masses.
May Fly Here Today
This source indicated the late
President's mother, Senator
Kennedy, sister Eunice and
possibly others Including Anne
Gargan, a cousin, would fly to
the Capital about noon Sunday.
In midafternoon yesterday,
the Rev. John Cavanaugh, for
mer president of Notre Dame
University, a longtime friend
of the elder Kennedy, arrived
at Hyannis Airport from Wash
ington aboard a Military Air
Transport service plane.
Mr. Kennedy first learned
of his son’s assassination about
10:10 a.m. (EST).
A moment later, the flag
outside Mr. Kennedy's home
which had flown at full stafl
from daybreak, was lowered to
half staff. Onlookers took it
to mean the father had been
given the sad news at that
time.
Wife Takes Walk
At about 11 am., Mrs. Rost
Kennedy took a lonely wall
outside the house. She walkec
about 100 yards in a drlzzli
and then returned indoors.
In apparent deference to th<
family in its hour of grief
there were no spectators out
side the cluster of three Ken
nedy summer homes on thi
seashore. «
* The mother of the late Pres
ident attended the 7 a.m. Masi
at St. Francis Xavier Catholii
Church in Hyannis in the com
pany of a niece, Anne Gar
fan, and the family chauffeur
•Frank Saunders.
‘ She stayed for a seconc

pathy. Four nuns also spoke
briefly to Mrs. Kennedy.
As she was leaving, her son,
Edward, and her daughter.
Mrs. Shrlver, expecting her
fourth child, arrived to at

when he was on Cape Cod.
Attired in Black
Mrs. Kennedy was attired in
mourning black. Mrs. Shrlver
wore a dark wool plaid suit.
At the church. Mrs. Kennedy
asked newsreel and television
cameramen not to take her
picture. ,
"I know you have to do it."
, she said, “but I wish you would

I This was the third Kennedy
