• LONDON (UPl)—Gavin Sci
da, one of the Americans
stranded at Gatwick Airport for
w four days when a charter flight
company failed, slept through
most of the fuss.
She was the only stranded
• passenger who did not worry
about where the next meal was
coming from. Gavin is the four
week-old daughter of psycholo-
* gist Joan Scida, Boston.
She and 119 other Americans
waited in the Gatwick Airport
, lounge, some sleeping on the
marble floor with suitcases as
pillows, until two British
companies Wednesday paid for
* a luxury free flight home. The
return flight was expected to
leave today but no time was
set.
The U.S. Embassy said a
high-level meeting in the State
Department was considering
, the case Wednesday while other
negotiations were going on
among British businessmen.

NEXT TO WATER WORKS
Finally British Caledonian
Airways and Wimpies, a British
hamburger restaurant chain,
offered a free flight home with
a five-course meal on the way
and free bar throughout the
trip. A British hotel chain
chipped in with a free dinner
and free beds for all the
passengers on their last night
in Britain.
The problem began Sunday
when passengers for charter
flight DA2O9 from London to
New York arrived at Gatwick
at the end of extended
European tours. Most had just
a few dollars left.
Airport authorities told the
would-be passengers their flight
did not exist. Daedalus Travel
Agency of New York, organiz
ers of the non-existent flight,
issued a statement saying
another flight would be ar
ranged.

Eunice Kennedy adds touch
By RAY McHUGH
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - When she
was a little girl, the Kennedy
family used to say “Eunice
should have been a boy.”
Eunice grew up to be a very
attractive woman, but she nev
er lost a tomboy’s keen zest for
tough competition. Any fight
involving a Kennedy was auto
matically her fight.
Her brother John, to whom
she was perhaps closest, once
remarked to friends at the
White House:
“Sometimes I think Eunice
should have this job instead of
me.”
She frequently substituted
for Jacqueline Kennedy as
White House hostess during her
brother’s presidency.
She is now ready to plunge
into another campaign, this
time at the side of her husband,
R. Sargent Shriver, vice presi
dential nominee of the Demo
cratic Party.
Mrs. Shriver and the viva
cious and intelligent Mrs.
George McGovern now add a
dimension to the 1972 campaign
that is worrying some Republi
can strategists.
“We don’t underestimate
their appeal to women voters,”
acknowledged an official at the
headquarters to reelect Pres
ident Nixon.
“They are attractive, ener-
getic women and effective
speakers.
“Os course, we have a couple
of pretty effective gals, too, in
Pat Nixon and Judy Agnew.
The country won’t forget what
a beautiful job Mrs. Nixon has
done as first lady and how she
conducted herself on the trips
to Peking and Moscow.”
Mrs. Shriver promises to be a
center of attention in the early
days of the campaign. Her
Kennedy background adds an
element of excitement for
many Democrats.
Her strong resemblance to
her slain brothers, John and
Robert, gives her instant iden
tification.
At 51, Eunice is the mother of
five children (her oldest, Rob
ert, is 18). She still plays touch
football with them. A staunch
Roman Catholic, she is vehe
mently opposed to abortion, an
issue that McGovern is finding
troublesome because of Catho
lic opposition to his oft-stated
liberal views. She is also said to
have strong opinions about le
galization of marijuana. Her
son Robert and the oldest son of
the late Sen. Robert F. Ken
nedy were arrested two years
ago on charges of possessing
marijuana.
She has preferred the polit
ical background since return
ing from Paris in 1969 where
Shriver served as ambassador,
Page 15
but frequent visitors to the
Shrivers’ Timberlawn estate in
suburban Maryland say her in
terest has never waned.
“She’ll be a hard-hitting
campaigner,” one predicted,
"and she’ll put forward her
own ideas, particularly on chil
dren’s programs. That’s where
her interest really lies.”
Money has never been one of
Mrs. Shriver’s problems. Her
father, Joseph P. Kennedy, was
a millionaire by the time he
was 35. The family fortune he
amassed is now administered
quietly from offices in New
York’s Pan American building
and some estimates put it as
high as S4OO million. Eunice,
like her brothers and sisters
and their children, enjoys a
personal trust fund established
by her father which brings her
an estimated SIOO,OOO-a-year
income.
Eunice came in the “middle”
of the five Kennedy daughters.
The oldest, Rosemary, lives
quietly in a nursing home; the
second, Kathleen, who intro
duced Eunice to Sargent
Shriver, was killed in a 1948
plane crash. Patricia, the
fourth, is best known as the di
vorced wife of actor Peter
Lawford. Jean, the youngest, is
married to Stephen Smith, a
New York lawyer-financier
who handles the family fortune.

Shriver married the boss’
daughter.
A Yale-educated lawyer and
heir to an old, but depression
hit family in Maryland, Shriver
went to work for Joseph P.
Kennedy in 1946 after serving
in the Navy during World War
