Jackie Can’t
Outspeed
Wed Rumors
ST. AGATHE, Que. (UPD—
Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy flew
here by jet Wednesday but not
fast enough to outspeed persis
tent rumors she intended to
marry former British ambassa
dor to the United States, Lord
Harlech, possibly today.
The former First Lady came
to this skiing resort with her
two children, John Jr., and
Caroline, for a four-day holiday
as the guest of the Jules
Timmins family, owners of
Timmins Aviation. Thsy said i
she would return to New York
Sunday night.
Earlier, in New York, Mrs.
Kennedy’s secretary denied a
Women’s Wear Daily report
that quoted "very reliable
sources” as saying Mrs. Kenne
dy and Lord Harlech would be
married later today.
The secretary, Nancy Tucker
man, said the report published
in a brief front page item "is
absolutely not true.”
“Mrs. Kennedy is not getting:
married,” she added.
In London today, Lord Har
lech, who served as ambassador
in Washington during the
Kennedy administration, denied
the marriage rumors.
“There is no truth at all in
the rumors,” he said at his
home. "I am not seeing Mrs.
Kennedy in the near future.
There is no question of an
engagement or anything like'
that.”
Rumors of a pending mar- ■
riage between the two began
when Lord Harlech accompa
nied Mrs. Kennedy to Cambodia
last November. Since then he
has spent much of his time in!
the United States lecturing and
on business trips.
