He could not understand why he should be hated. 1 spoke ofhaving been a short time in Mississippi. There I was told by individuals who had been threatened with violence by the extremist groups that the safety of the President nor his brother Robert, the Attorney General, could be guaranteed if they came into the state. The impression was so deep-rooted that acts of desperation could not be prevent~ ed, Some of this I had put in my column. “Yes, I saw that," the President said. "But I don't want to believe it. I can't believe that that can be true. “Of course, we get a lot of letters in here that are pretty strong. They're violent even. And I'dbe glad to have you see sam~ ples of those. But hasn't there always been that sort of thing?” Wetalked briefly of the attack on Adlai Stevenson outside the the hallin Dallas where he spoke on United Nations Day. Stevenson was hit over the head by a sign-carrying rightist and spat on by a student as extremists shoved in at him when he left the hall following his speech. “He told me," the President said, “that the ovation he got in the hall from sev eral thousand people was one of the warmest he ever received, Yet it was the 50 or so outside who made the headlines. That's often the way it is --the people onthe fringe get all the attention. " Still another characteristic was evident as he talked. Mr. Kennedy thought of himself as more conservative than the liberals who supported him in his own party. He said: “You know when I first ran for Congress in 1946 I believed pretty much the line that the centralization of our government had gone so far that it was a great danger and that we were likely to spend ourselves into bankruptcy. So I can understand these people. And if they don't read anything else, and you know in a lot of places the newspapers carry nothing but this sort of thing, how can. they reach a judg ment on what the situation really is.“ When we got into the coming campaign year he was full of zest and seemingly without any serious concern over a struggle that would make such heavy demands on his time and energy. With all of the South gone, he said, and then amended himself to add, or most of it, we'llhaveto go after states we didn't carry last time. He laughed about Senator Barry Goldwater, saying, “Let him go, let
him alone. Barry's doing just fine." This was a highly competitive man who wanted to win not only every game but every inning of Didn’t See' they gave was that rabid hatred . GRAND OPENING...The expanded SPD shopping center holds its grand opening beginning today, celebrating the doubling of space in Nevada City's largest center. Specials are featured in all departments, and the center has added furniture and men's wear departments. every game. With this went a spirit of derring-do, bravado almost, that often led him to defy danger. On his trip to New York a week before his death he declined a police escort, taking his chances on the tangle of traffic in the city to the consternation of the New York police force. Although the two major pieces of his program, the tax and the civil rights bills, were bogged down in Congress, he seemed undaunted. His mood wasin marked contrast with that of a visit I had with him in the oval study upstairs somewhat more than a year after he had taken the oath of office. Speaking of his 14 years in the Congress and his 15 or so months in the Presidency he said ina somber vein that he had begun to wonder if the country was governable at all. Now on this bright, clear evening he seemed a seasoned man, a man who had met the initial test and who had no doubt of his ability to meet the challenges still ahead. He had mastered the most difficult job in the world and if he had any qualms about the future he gave no sign of it. That is the terrible irony of the moment when the bullet of a madman snuffed out his life.
