WASHINGTON (AP) This is the top order of succession to the presidency as established by law in 1947: good will can resolve their differences. "Let us reason together," was one of his favorite admonitions to his colleagues. Johnson ran virtually a one-man show, serving as the Democratic floor leader, chairman of the Democratic conference, chairman of the party steering committee and chairman of the policy committee.

He was always a man on the move, nervous, fidgety and impatient.

Kennedy, who is growing weak as his body fails. I "Cherish and revive the soul i which thou didst create, so that purified and made whole by his suffering, he may find himself 'restored by Thy healing through Christ our Lord." In the rite, the priest anoints with oil the eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands and feet, praying that any sins committed through the organs of sense or i limbs of the body may be forgiven. The oil, the movements, the words are regarded as physical, earthly symbols of spiritual action, as promised by Christ, who also performed His ministry through physical means, but with meaning on a higher plane.

James Hospital, Pontiac, was Vernon Shiflett. News Breaks Strike ducted Saturday morning in Los Angeles. Huxley was the son of Leon By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP RELIGIOUS WRITER According to his faith, President Kennedy's death Friday was a meeting place between him and his God. As the moment of death approached, a Roman Catholic priest standing over him uttered these words, as set down in the church rites: "Go forth, Christian soul, out of this world, in the name of God, the Father Almighty, who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, who suffered for thee 11 It is an interval of mystery, as the church sees it, a time of pain and sorrow, but also of assurance, because Christ already has joined men in it in His Crucifixion, and wrought victory over it for His own.

As administered to the dying President in a Dallas hospital emergency room, the rites of Extreme Unction, or anointing of the sick, sought his restoration, in the widest sense. The rite is a plea for physical recovery, in part, but in the extremity of death, as was this case, it is also a preparation for encounter with God. "Heal, Redeemer, the infirmities of this sick person," the priest prays, forgive him his sins. In that crucial and final hour, when a man comes to his direst agony, the sacrament is considered an occasion when he receives ultimate forgiveness, and is readied for entry into divine companionship. It is linked to Christ's resurrection, for only in finally surmounting the inevitability of Saunemin TOLEDO.

The permission was extraordinary because, according to Catholic practice, funeral Masses and Requiems, or Masses in commemoration of the dead, are not permitted on Sunday or Holy Days.

The car was more than 21 feet in over-all length, a spokesman said. It was equipped with exterior retractable steps for six secret service agents to ride on. Inside the car were two-way radio telephones to keep the President and his guards in constant communication with staff members along any parade route. CINCINNATI (UPI) The car in which President Kennedy was assassinated Friday was custom built here in 1961 to rigid secret service specifications, but was not bullet proof. The "Presidential Continental" had more specially designed features than any car ever before used for government duties.

It was delivered to the White House in June, 19G1. But Ford motor company, which owned the car and leased it to the White House, said that it was not equipped with a bullet-proof top or bullet proof glass. Baines, 16. Johnson was elected to the House from Texas in 1936. In 1948, at the age of 40, he was elected to the Senate.

Four years later the Senate Democrats chose him as their leader. In 1960 he lost the Democratic presidential nomination to Kennedy, who then chose him for second place on the ticket.
