JFK Library Fund Tops $10 Million
The dimes and dollars of more than four million people remembering John Fitzgerald Kennedy have already topped the fund total needed for the construction of the Kennedy Memorial Library and the establishment of the Kennedy Institute.
The announcement came as a surprise to leaders of the KU drive to raise funds for the memorial library which started yesterday. Bill Manning, Wichita junior and chairman of the drive, said, "We didn't know when the goal of the drive would be reached, but we knew it would be soon."
The late President's brother, senator-elect Robert F. Kennedy, announced Sunday that more than the estimated $10 million needed has been collected.
ALL STUDENT and faculty members who wish to sign one of the signature books are urged to do so by leaders of the drive. The signature books will be bound in volumes, and permanently displayed in a student room at the library. They will be from colleges all over the country.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe made the first donation to the campus drive yesterday, and was first to sign the signature book.
Manning said the drive would continue to collect funds and signatures for the library today and tomorrow. "All college students and faculty members should have an opportunity to contribute to the drive, since John Kennedy was especially close to them." Manning said.
COLLECTION TABLES for the KU drive have been set up in Murphy, Summerfield and Strong Halls and the Kansas Union. A collection table in Watson Library bookstore will be used in the afternoons.
Collection tables have also been placed in the lobbies of the large residence halls. Collections are being made in the small residence halls and fraternity and sorority houses.
Italian Lawyers Begin Big Strike
ROME —(UPI)— Italian lawyers called a 24-hour strike yesterday. The action closed all courts except those handling urgent cases.
The strike was designed as a protest to a government measure doubling the price of stamp paper.

Although the fund drive of $10 million has been topped, the extra money that is collected will be used to endow the Kennedy Institute.
THE INSTITUTE will provide lectures by professors, politicians and public servants; scholarships for students of the presidency; and literary and public service awards. Its purpose will be to assist young people everywhere in understanding and practicing democratic political life.
Sen. Kennedy said the family hoped the library would be a place of study for "especially young people" interested in practical politics.
"WE ARE ALL pleased that this project can now take concrete form," Kennedy said.
The memorial library will rise on the banks of the Charles River in Boston, Mass., overlooking Winthrop House where the late president lived as an undergraduate while at Harvard University.
The library will be designed by Ieoh Ming Pei, a world-known New York architect.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUILDS A TOUGH ONE
IT SWIMS
Ford Motor Company's new military truck floats, Air-inflated seals and internal air pressure keep the body and mechanical components dry. Its water speed is 2.5 mph.
IT CLIMBS STEPS
Climbing over a 27-inch high step or negotiating a 60% grade when fully loaded is no problem for this Ford vehicle. Proof that it can go over rough cross-country terrain.
IN FACT,
THE ARMY'S NEW
TRUCK
GOES
ALMOST ANYWHERE
Early in 1963, Ford Motor Company received a contract from the U.S. Army to design and develop a 5-ton cargo truck for use in tactical military operations. Before the end of that year, the first test unit had been designed and built. This new vehicle, called the XM656 cargo truck, was sent to the Aberdeen Proving Ground for 40,000 miles of testing twice that required for military acceptance. The vehicle was tested against road conditions that might be found anywhere in the world: swamps...loose sand...hilly backcountry...and highways. During the test, the truck carried
a 10,000-lb. payload and, half the time, towed a 13,000-lb. load. Outstanding characteristics of the truck's design are its floatability, improved cross-country mobility, light weight, reduced need for maintenance and a multi-fuel power plant that will run on anything from diesel oil to gasoline.
