Tuesday, June 11 1968 Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Tw~ THE MICHIGAN DAILY An American tragedy's 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. . -Associated Press Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and Caroline visit the graves of the Robert and John Kennedy --Assudiited Preas Sen.
