LOS ANGELES (AP) Sen. Robert F. K e n n e d y ,
felled like his President brother by an assasin's" b u l l e t ,
died early today.
His mourning family prepared to take his body home
to New York, across the nation Kennedy had hoped to
led as president.
And on Saturday, the senator is to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery, at the
hillside plot which is the resting place of his brother, the
late John F. Kennedy.
Robert Kennedy, 42, never
regained consciousness, never showed signs on recovery
after a savage burst of revolver fire sent a bullet plunging
into his brain at the pinnacle of his own campaign for
the White House.
KENNEDY, HIS P R E G NANT wife, Ethel at his bedside, died at 1:44 a.m, PDT,
(4:44 a.m. EOT) little more
than 24 hours after the assault
at the Ambassador Hotel.
Kennedy's body was to be
flown from Los Angeles to
New York later today on a jet
airplane provided by t h e
White House. It was to arrive
in New York at 5:30 p.m.
Pierre Salinger, former presidential press secretary, said
the body would lie in state Friday at St. Patrick's Cathedral
in New York City from 8 a.m.
to 10 p.m.
A Requeim Mass will be
held there Saturday morning.

An editorial
Vofe FOR school levy tomorrow I
Elyria voters will make a very important
decision tomorrow.
They will decide whether Elyria children
will get a top quality education, by today's standards, or one that is below top quality. We say
"by today's standards" because some opponents
of the 6-mill levy seem to be judging school
needs by the standards of their own school
years, possibly a generation ago.
Those standards may have been adequate
for those days, but the young people in school
now must be prepared to compete in a world
that is and will be different in many ways. Education is more important today than ever before. It will be even more important in coming
years.
We have studied the arguments for and
against passage of the levy. The weight of the
evidence is strongly on the side of passage. We
are thoroughly convinced Elyria schools need
this money to continue quality education for the
community's children.
We strongly recommend: Vote FOR the
levy. The need is urgent.
