Johnson Attacked While World Mourns
(Compiled from UPI Dispatches)
Save for a bitter attack from the Red Chinese and a warning from Fidel Castro of Cuba, the world mourned the loss of a great world leader over the weekend.
West Germanv
BONN — Chancellor Ludwig Erhard called an extraordinary cabinet meeting yesterday to honor President Kennedy.
The cabinet confirmed that President Heinrich Luebke will lead West Germany's delegation to the Washington funeral. Other members will be Erhard, Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder, Defense Minister Kai-Uwe Hassel and West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt.
Ehrard was to have conferred with Kennedy in Washington today and Tuesday. Ehrard now has no plans for any political talks in Washington, federal press chief Karl-Guenther Von Hase said today, but there may be a brief private meeting with President Johnson.
Former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer does not plan to attend the funeral, according to intimates.
At this morning's extraordinary meeting, all members of the cabinet rose while Erhard delivered a eulogy to the slain American leader.
"A distinguished man and a good friend has been lost." Erhard declared. "It is a loss to the whole world. It shows that he commanded not only military and technical, but also great moral power."
Madame Nhu
ROME — Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu yesterday sent a telegram to Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy saying the President's death must be particularly unbearable "because of your habitually well-sheltered life."
Mme. Nuh suggested that the assassination of President Kennedy was an act of God. She termed it "that ordeal which God has bestowed on you."
She compared Kennedy's murder with the slaying of her brother-in-law, President Ngo Dinh Diem of Viet Nam, and her husband. She said "even the wounds inflicted on President Kennedy were identical" to those of Diem and her husband.
Red China
TOKYO — Communist China launched a bitter attack against President Johnson yesterday and branded him as a supporter of the slain Chief Executive's "trickery policy."
"Since the emergence of the Kennedy regime, Johnson has positively supported various reactionary policies of the Kennedy administration and participated in formulating and promoting such policies," the new China news agency said.
"Johnson has supported Kennedy's trickery policy and has called for the maintenance of such a policy in a series of his speeches."

insured her most famous son Saturday.
"We mourn him as a friend," said President Nathan M. Pusey,
"This was almost like the death of a relative," said Franklin Ford, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences.
Eight candles glowed on the altar of the Memorial Church in Harvard Yard as bells tolled for 30 minutes earlier today in memory of the sixth Harvard graduate to hold the nation's highest office.
Fellow graduates of 1940 were among the mourners who entered, some of them carrying copies of the Harvard student paper, the Crimson, which published an "extra."
Russian
MOSCOW — U.S. Ambassador Foy D. Kohler and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko saw off Russia's 7-man delegation to President Kennedy's funeral.
Gromyko said the death of Kennedy was "a loss not only for America but for us all." He said it was also a great personal loss "for me because I met him so many times."
Gromyko was asked about reports that Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marxist and had been to Russia.
"We did not know him," Gromyko said, throwing his hands up in the air.
Cuba
MIAMI — Premier Fidel Castro said Saturday Cuba may face "an even worse policy" from the United States as a result of President Kennedy's assassination.
Cuba may be confronted with a new U.S.-backed invasion under President Lyndon B. Johnson, he said.
Speaking in a special Havana radio and television address which was monitored here, Castro called Kennedy's slaying "grave and bad news" for Cuba.
But the Cuban leader, who has continuously attacked, insulted and berated Kennedy, even before he won the 1960 presidential election, said his assassination "has no justification."
Then he went on to state that "there are partisan currents for a greater intervention by the United States and for a greater utilization of forces and arms against our country. There are those who want a new invasion."
London Bobby
LONDON — The tall London policeman waved down a car with foreign license plates on Oxford Street last night.
The driver, certain he had done nothing wrong, pulled over to the side as the grim-faced bobby approached."

"I just thought you might be," the bobby said. "You know it's an unspeakable thing, a terrible thing that he's gone. I think everyone over here feels just as awful as you do."

Then the towering policeman said, "On your way now," and turned away trying to conceal sudden tears over the death of President Kennedy.
"I was wondering if you're an American," the policeman said. The American journalist said he was.

908 Mass. St. — Lawrence, Kans. —
In the 137-year-old church where Kennedy's Great Grandfather Patrick was baptized, they heard the local curate preach a brief sermon. "Never again will we see Jack Kennedy's smiling face, hear his voice or shake his hand. Almighty God has called him to himself," the curate said.
Ireland
New Ross and Dunganstown itself, scene of hilarious jubilation last June when Kennedy met his Irish cousins, was silent and detected.
The life of the town, which had been sustained by the glamor of the White House, had gone out.
Viet Nam
The decision to send an Irish honor guard came after a personal request from Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy was relayed Saturday night by U.S. Ambassador Matthew McCloskey to Premier Sean F. LeMass.

SAIGON — A special Buddhist service in memory of President Kennedy was held at the main Xa Loi
Pagoda here. Sunday, a Buddhist spokesman said.
The spokesman said the service was attended by several thousand Buddhist faithful.
Chief speaker was the President of the General Buddhist Association and chairman of the intersect committee which led the nearly four-month fight against the defunct Ngo family regime, the Reverend Thich Tam Chau.
'Kennedy's Corps'
MANILA — The Philippines Herald suggested in an editorial that the U.S. Peace Corps be named after the later President Kennedy.
"The Peace Corps perhaps best symbolizes the late President's great love for peace and dedication to its cause," the Herald said. "Nothing could be more fitting, therefore than that its name should now be changed to Kennedy's Corps, by way of tribute to Kennedy's labors for peace."
