Miss Lillian lifted eyebrows
last weekend in Nashua, N.H.,
when she talked about the risks
of a Kennedy candidacy.
She said she expected
Kennedy to support her son in
1980, "but if he does run I wish
him all the luck in the world and
I hope to goodness nothing hap-
pens again."
She referred of course to the
history of the 1960s: One Ken-
nedy brother killed in the presi-
dency. one in seeking the presi-
dency.
After that. Rose Kennedy
hoped that Edward would be
content to remain in the Senate.
"I don't want my son to run,”
she said. "Why should I, after
all I’ve been through?"
That's why Kennedy's dis-
closure of his mother's support
made news. Sen. Howard Bak-

Roloff claimed the reorgani-
zation makes the church legal
custodian of the homes and
should stop state officials from
pursuing the license require-
ments because of constitutional
questions involving church and

"We are doing what we be-
lieve is the right thing to do."
Roloff said. "We believe the
church is free to take care of
widows and children.''

job?
Franklin D. Roosevelt's
mother, Sara, did her best to
keep him out of politics, espe-
cially after he was crippled by
polio. She lost, but it was a
battle.
Harry Truman recalled in his
memoirs, “My mother never
tried to give me any advice as
president... She thought it was
just the natural thing. It did not
give her any ideas of grandeur.
She was just the same mama
she had always been."
In 1960, Richard Nixon
quipped that his mother was
probably the only one in Amer-
ica who didn't think her son
might one day be president. But
Hannah Nixon said that wasn't
so.
She recalled that in 1934 she
looked at a college picture of
Richard and his classmates and
told her husband, "In all that
group he looks more like a
president than any other.”
