Kennedy, is one of the most despised in their country. Is this true ? If so, why? R.T.S., Berkeley, Calif. A. "Despised" is too strong a word. Papers recently released from official British wartime files show that in 1939 when loseph P. Kennedy was U.S. Ambassador to Britain his support for appeasement and U.S. in World War II made him a significant danger to Britain's war effort. As Ambassador, Kennedy was so pessimistic about Britain's chances of survival against Hitler's Germany that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to send "Wild Bill" Donovan, a trusted friend, to England for a more objective assessment of the war. Robert Vansittart, chief diplomatic adviser to Lord Halifax, the British Foreign Minister, wrote in 1939: "Mr. Kennedy is a very foul specimen of double-crossand defeatist. He thinks of nothing but his own pocket. I hope that this war will at least see the elimination of this type." After World War II British opinion of Joseph P. Kennedy mellowed, especially since he lost his oldest son, Joe, in a highly dangerous secret mission over the French coast, and another son, John, fought courageously in the Pacific. Today in Britain it makes a great deal of difference which Kennedy one discusses. The sons are admired, the father is not. Q. Friends departs the Nixon Administration, will he head for All Souls College in Oxford? Ben Walters, Cambridge, Mass A. Kissinger once investigated the possibility of a visiting fellowship at All Souls but that was when he was still at Flarvard. At this writing, Kissinger doesn't know specifically where he will go when he leaves the Administration. Most probably he will accept a publisher's hefty advance for his memoirs and write them in an environment of maximum conduciveness where the girls are. Q. When Fienry in England tell me Lyndon Johnson die at the LBJ ranch or en route to San Antonio in a helicopter T.S , Austin. Texas. ambulance? A. Most probably at the LBJ ranch in his bedroom. He suffered a heart seizure, called for Mike Howard, his Secret Service agent. Howard and two other Secret Service agents applied a resuscitator, heart massage, every emergency procedure they knew all to no avail. There was no sign of life while LBJ was oeing flown from his ranch to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Q. Where did THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER MAGAZINE MARCH 11, 1973 2 JAMES MCCORD CORDON LIDDY P. er the public been told the whole truth about this case or has much of it been swept under the rugfR R , Bethesda, Md. A. Since John N. Mitchell, the former Attorney General, and Maurice Stans, the former Secretary of Commerce, are on record as having personally approved the disbursement of $199,000 to one of the convicted defendants, it is probably true that the whole truth concerning Watergate will not be told until Mitchell, Stans, Herbert Kalmbach, the President's lawyer, Charles Colson, - Donald Segretti, Dwight Chapin, and others are called to testify by Sen. Sam Ervin's Special Senate Committee which is investigating the case. Q. Now that he has lost his only son, to whom will Aristotle Onassis leave his billion-dolla- r fortune ? Will it go to his wife Jackie, to his daughter Christina, or to his son's girl friend Fiona Baroness Thyssen? Theo Karakis, Sea Girt, N.J. A. When Alexander Onassis, 24, died as a result of an air crash, he had already broken off with Fiona Baroness Thyssen, 40, once Great Britain's loveliest model under her maiden name, Fiona Campbell-WalteAristotle Onassis was opposed to his son's love affair with the older woman and therefore it is unlikely that he will leave her anything in his will. Most of his vast fortune estimated at between $500 million to $1 billion will probably go to Jackie Kennedy Onassis, his daughter Christina and charity. r. MARK SPITZ AND FIANCEE SUSAN WEINER read recently that Mark Spitz, the Olympic swimming champion, is having his nose and chin through plastic surgery. Is this because he plans to become a film star, or his fiancee Susan Weiner made him do it? Madeleme Schwartz, Los Angeles, Calif. A. Spitz and his fiancee are both satisfied with his face as it is. No plastic surgery is about to be performed on Spitz. Q. I ed Q. The Watergate scandal in which two officials.
