Kennedy was taken from this land of freedom like Abraham Lincoln -- too soon to truly help those who suffer most, the lack of freedom. I am sick with the horror at this senseless tragedy." John J. Reilly, leader of the county Republican Party, said he felt the President "gave his life to preserve freedom and to better the lot of all mankind. His efforts will be memorial- ized in the pages of history." Another Republican, Assem- blyman Joseph F. X. said the President "gave his life for this country as surely as Nathan Hale did. It is almost incomprehensible that this could happen in this country in this day and age." During a recess, Supreme Court Justice Frank S.

I share in the grief borne by his widow and the people of the United States." Fa.m.ily Court Judge John F.

Democratic chairman, said the "people of America will react with the Vigor that President Kennedy so uniquely transmit- ted to this nation during his brief but brilliant leadership. 'Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country' should be uppermost in the minds of the American people. The people of Orangetown will see to it that the program of the late Presi- dent of the United States will be carried on." William F.

Kennedy: Pride and By United Press International John Fitzgerald Kennedy On a bitterly cold and snowy day in January, 1961, when he was inaugurated 35th president of the United States, John Fitz- gerald Kennedy sounded a call to action that in many ways summed up his own remarka- ble career. "Let the word go out from this time and place, to friend and foe alike," he said, "that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a cold and bitter peace." Kennedy was all these, and he bore the torch of world lead- ership in a society where the old order was changing fast. On that January day, no man had ever flown in space. On that day Negroes in southern cities such as Jackson and Bir- mingham were not yet demon- strating. On that day the world had not come consciously close to nuclear destruction as it did in the great Cuban crisis of 1962. Big Job" "Sure it's a big job," Ken- nedy once said. "But I don't know anybody who can do it any better than I canfor four years. It isn't going to be so bad. You've got time to besides, the pay is good."' He later found out--and con- it was a bigger job than he originally believed. But it is mostly unlikely that he ever once wavered in the belief that no one could handle it as well as he could. To think other- wise would have been a nega- tion of his whole life. The presidency of John Fitz- gerald Kennedy was born in the fierce pride of an Irish grant family. It was carefully nurtured in the training stages by a multi-millionaire father, and brought to fruition by the man himself through a career in the House and Senate and on the campaign trials of America. In a manner typical of his family, Kennedy started at the top in many things. He was a product of Choate, Harvard and the London School of Economics. He produced his first book, "Why England Slept," in 1940 at the age of 23. On his second literary try in 1956, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his widely acclaimed "Pro- files in Courage." He also started at the top in politics. There was nothing up- from-the-precints in his career. He started after the war by . winning a seat in the House of Representatives from his native state of Massachu- setts. After six years in the House he ran for the Senate. That year 1952 -- was a bad year for Democrats because of the Eisenhower landslide. But Kennedy defeated Henry Cabot Lodge, a scion of an old New England family whose Brabmin roots were so vastly different from those of the Kennedys. Hero In War Kennedy's World War II record became a national conversation piece. The saga of PT109, how Kennedy commanded" a 'mat in the -Solomons that was rammed by a Japanese destroy- er, was celebrated in books, a motion picture and countless re-_ telling by magazines, newspa- pers and television. Kennedy coupled this illustri- ous background with a headlon drive for the presidency that has been seldom matched for vigor, tenacity and expense. But despite this, he barely made it to 1600 Avenue. With the largest voter turnout in history, he defeated Vice IHE: ROCKLAND COUNTY, JOURNAL-NEWS Confidence Sp NYACK. N. Y., SATURDAY, 23. 1963.5. arkedHis Career JOHN F. KENNEDY -- As a Lieutenant (1943), President Richard M. Nixon in 1960 by scarcely 100,000 ballots. Kennedy's 34,227,096 popular votes gave him an Electoral College edge of 330 to 219 over Nixon, who got 34,108,546 popu- lar votes. Not many hours before Ken- nedy took office, the family patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy, voice deep satisfaction that one of his four sons had made it to the American pinnacle. But the elder Kennedy, one of the wealthiest men of his time, knew his older son faced problems as no other president has confronted. "He's got to be good from the very start," said Joe Ken- nedy to a friend. "Not only be- cause of his youth, but because the world has reached a point where the American president can make damn few mistakes and get away with it. This means Jack must make a go of it right from the and it means he'll need all the support he can possibly get." Kennedy entered office on a surge of towering personal pop- ularity. The new President, his strikingly attractive wife, Jac- queline, and their children made one_of the most appealing and photogenic families ever to oc- cupy the White House. Their styles, their tastes, their preferences in sports from touch football to waterskiing, swept the nation in a Jack-and- Jackie fad. Motion picture fan magazines dropped cinema si- rens for months and emblazoned their covers with alluring pic- tures of the First Lady in bath- ing suits, riding costumes and T-shirts. Newspaper and feature writ- ers, night club and television comedians, recording stars and composers combined to spread the doings of the Kennedys. A great cult of personality swept the nation. Not since the early days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal did a president and those around him become such an object of interest to the _en- tire nation. Undisputed personal populari- ty did not protect Kennedy, however, from the lash of se- vere criticism that accompan- ied some of the efforts of his administrationCongress to the extent that the lawmakers fell over themselves to get his programs passed. In fact, his New Frontier leg- islative proposals were often embattled. His defeats in this area sometimes were impres- sive, his victories frequently nar- row.

War. Overseas, there was the ever- present threat posed by the So- viet Union, the troubles in Southeast Asia, and over and over again -- Cuba. The Kenne- had barely unpacked their bags in 1961 when the image of the bright young American President was tarnished by the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion. The plan to land exiles in Cuba in an attempt to overthrow Fi- del Castro was conceived in the Eisenhower administration, and executed by the Kennedy men. The disaster--for which Ken- nedy accepted full responsibil- ity'--lay like a pall on the ad- ministration for months. But if April, 1961, was a fiasco, Octo- ber, 1962, was an unprecedent- ed triumph.- The _Cuban missile crisis was a test of all the_ skill and cour- age that Kennedy could com- mand. By ordering a blockade but not sinking any ships,'by taling softly but carrying the big 'stick of nuclear retaliation, he forced the Soviet Union to withdraw .the missiles it had placed in Cuba and thereby scored one of the greatest West- ern triumphs of the cold war. Just as the Bay of Pigs was the low-water mark of the first years, the Cuban crisis was the high tide. Born Near Boston The man at the troubled U.S. helm through this vast sea of difficulty was born at his fam- ily's Brookline, Mass., home outside Boston May 29, 1917. had an older brother, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., who was killed in, World War II. John's birth, four girls, Rosemary, Kathleen, Eunice and Patricia, followed before the third son, Robert F. Kennedy, was born in 1925. He became attorney general in his brother's adminis- tration. After Robert, there was another girl, Jean, and then Ed- ward F., the last of nine chil- dren, born in 1932. The young- ster of the family continued the tradition of successful politics by being elected U.S. senator from Massachusetts in 1962 at the age of 30. After the war, Jack Kennedy dabbled in newspaper work, 'then decided to try for a Boston congressional seat being vacat- ed by the incumbent. Only 29, he campaigned hard, talked pocketbook issues and won the nomination over a field of nine other Democrats. Running in a normally Democratic district, he easily defeated his Republi- can opponent in the election.

In that 1952 campaign, the en- tire Kennedy family of brothers and sisters and in-lawsmoved in to help with "coffee hours" and other political innovations. They were to be used again later in Kennedy's 1960 cam- paigns in state presidential pri- maries.

But many of his later economic proposals won business support. The state of the economy, he felt, was the nation's No. 1 do- mestic concern.
