Robert Kennedy To Speak Here Saturday Morning

Point Pleasant will greet the second member of the Massachusetts Kennedy family family Saturday morning when Robert Kennedy arrives for a 11:00 A. M. speech at the Mason County Courthouse.

Needless to say, Kennedy will be speaking on behalf of the candidacy of his brother, Senator John Kennedy, now engaged in a neck-and-neck campaign in West Virginia with another presidential hopeful, Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Wisconsin.

Saturday's visitor, almost as well known as his older brother, is chief counsel of the U. S. Senate Rackets Committee, and author of the book "They Enemy Within" which deals with corruption in labor unions.

His appearance is being sponsored by the local Kennedy-For-President club, headed by Vallie Toney.

The youngest of the Kennedy brothers, Ted, was a visitor in Point Pleasant two weeks ago.
