SEN. ROBERT F. KENNEDY '48 IS BURIED

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 8--Amidst hysterical sorrow and calm remembrance, the ceremonies planned for the funeral of Robert F. Kennedy '48 were duly carried out today.

The church service was short. When it was over, after Edward M. Kennedy '54 had delivered an emotion-choked eulogy, the mourners spilled out into the brilliant sunshine of New York City.

Hundreds of guests, including President Pusey and the late Senator's long time Harvard supporters, moved toward Pennsylvania Station through silent crowds and boarded the train for the long ride to Washington.

On The Train

The four-hour journey took eight hours. In one small town along the tracks, Colonia, family held up a bedsheet with the words "We'll miss you Bobby" scratched upon it. In Menuchen, an elderly Negre fell on his knees touching the ground with his forehead and stretched out his arms, hat in hand, toward the train. Everywhere, men and women pressed their fists to their mouths, their faces hard with grief.

In Washington now, the cortege wound its way past more crowds, through the nighttime capital to the burial ground.

The moon was dazzling from behind the clouds that had shrouded it all evening, the huge TV spotlights flooded the scene.

The flag draping the coffin was handed to the Senator's widow, and it seemed like we had seen it all before.

The Harvard University Band played "America the Beautiful" and it was over.
