last act
WASHINGTON OP)-Nearly 60,000 people made the pil-
grimage Sunday to the grave of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in
Arlington National Cemetery.
Ethel Kennedy, expecting her 11th child, came to kneel at
the foot of her husband's grave.
Mrs. John F. Kennedy came with her two children, to pray at
the grave of her assassinated husband, then to walk the few
steps to the resting place of her assassinated brother-in-law.
Tourists with cameras came, and mourners with flowers.
They stood six abreast and waited in a burning June sun.
Only a small, white cross marks the grave of the New York
senator, shot in Los Angeles early Wednesday as he celebrated
a California primary victory in his campaign for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
From dawn until dusk Sunday people came. An evening
cloudburst drove many to shelter, but many ethers ignored the
rain to continue their procession past the grave.
It was the day President Johnson had proclaimed a national
day of mourning for the 42-year-old senator who challenged him
for the White House.
Two weeks after Kennedy announced he was running for
president, Johnson said he was not.
Veiled and carrying a single flower, Ethel Kennedy came at
mid-morning for her first visit to the completed grave. Mrs. Ken-
nedy and other members of the family left the cemetery before
the casket was lowered into the grave, 26 minutes before Satur-
day midnight.
A massive array of flowers sent to the cemetery Saturday
formed an arc on the hillside above the gravesite.
The cemetery gates closed at midnight after Kennedy's
burial, but nearly 100 people stayed outside, to wait the eight
hours until the morning's opening.
By then some 300 were waiting and they filed up the hill,
their ranks swelled by arriving thousands.
Uncounted crowds saw Kennedy to that resting place from the
funeral conducted Saturday morning at St. Patrick's Cathedral in
New York.
, In throngs, they stood along the 225-mile route of the funeral
train which bore Kennedy's family and his body, in an African
mahogany casket, from New York City to Washington.
A man and a woman, waiting near the edge of the platform
at Elizabeth, N.J., to see the Kennedy train were swept onto the
tracks and killed by a train heading northward.
In Trenton, N.J., an 18-year-old youth was critically injured
when he stood on a box car for a better view and touched a live
wire. /
With the crowds and the accidents, a-journey which was to
have taken four hours required more than eight.
