'Ancestral Land' to Welcome Mrs. JFK OS She Joins Husband on Trip to France PRINTED PATTERN (Editor's Note: In a sense, Mrs. Kennedy's trip to Paris next week witii tlie president will be going liome. Of French descent, slie spealts tlie language fluently and has studied at the Sorbonne. Frances Lewine, who covers the distaff side of the First Family for the Associated Press and will be going to Paris with the Kennedys, examines Mrs.

Kennedy's ties with France in the following article.) the tastes and interests of the 31-year-old First Lady. Mrs. Kennedy, just a little more than four months in the White House, already is eclipsing the official foreign travel records of most of her prede cessors, with the obvious exception of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

And, she will be the first lady since Mrs. Woodrow Wilson to accompany her husband on an official visit to Paris. Mrs. Kennedy has the benefit of knowing what to expect French take to Jacqueline Canada, the Kennedys' "rhL rssrr -capita, 1 AA LT country with many French- nedyhasTed irptifaTa inhabitants, Mrs. Ken- iac Hcdy won high praisB from top dent and has traveled France: fjj, admiring as a devotee of French art and literature.

Kennedy undoubtedly will create wide interest abroad. She proved in Canada that she has something of the drawing power and popularity of a movie star. Mrs. Kennedy was last in France on a visit in August 1959. She first went there years ago, and spent her junior year in college studying at the Sorbonne.

Traces Ancestry On her father's side, Mrs. Kennedy traces her ancestry back to France. A great-great- great grandfather, Andre Eustache Bouvier, came from the neighborhood of Grenoble in southeastern France. When John F. Kennedy was elected president last November, Mrs.

Kennedy received congratulations from officials in several French towns, indicating the Bouvier family came from their community. But, the White House" has been canny about pinpointing the hometown of Mrs. Kennedy's ancestors, noting that there are many with the family name of Bouvier and that the actual origin of the first lady's family is obscure. There's no chance that Mrs. Kennedy will make any nostalgic journey to family seats on this trip.

White Kniqht Is Winner for Lisa Lane By Mary Campbell NEW YORK Every college girl dreams of meeting a white knight. Lisa Lane did. Now, four years later, Lisa's romance is still as bright as that white knight moving across her chessboard. Lisa is U.S. Women's Chess Champion, an animated 23- brunette in 3-inch heels and a size 8 dress who can play chess, study chess, talk chess and still have plenty of energy left to checkmate popular misconceptions about the game and the people who play it.

For one thing, Lisa says, all chess players aren't elderly. The U.S. Men's Champion, Bobby Fischer, is younger than Lisa. They aren't all anti-social "I have a social life. I have my chess friends we have 30-30 parties (30 moves in 30 minutes) and non-chess friends we go to movies and plays." They aren't all patient "If I go anywhere and have to wait in line, I can't stand it." Or all brilliant "I'm not a genius.

What chess really takes is a logical mind." But, says Lisa, it is true that most chess players are men: "If a man knows how to play chess he'll usually teach it to his son. It's not likely that he's In Whirly-Giri language, quired take off weight to 120'for meeUng EXTBA-EAST! Two main pattern parts for dress, two for Jacket.

Learning to fly a helicopter isn't easy, says Jean Ross Howard, even if you already are a licensed pilot. "Some things are just the opposite. You're busier, working both hands and feet.

Hovering is the hardest. My instructor said it was like baking a cake. Obviously he had never baked a cake, because I had us all over the state of Texas. It needs only the lightest touch, and there I was, beating batter.

Stuffing a cosmetic case into an evening bag is a feat successfully accomplished by relatively few girls. The whole thing usually ends up with odds and ends being handed to an mpatient escort for pocket storage. The first step in transferring articles from a daytime bag to an evening bag is to make up your mind to be ruthless. You don't need your check book and you don't need your wallet.

Tuck some folding money in, to be sure. Take your key from ts key ring. Take only your lipstick and a powder case. Tuck in one of those inexpensive, smart little plastic cases that combines nylon comb and mirror. Such a case is sufficiently flat and compact to take up very little room.

And the whole unit can be slipped from your evening bag when you want to run a comb through your hair. Things to be left out of your evening bag are make-up base, eye make-up. eyebrow pencil and rouge. All of your make up should be so carefully applied that, with the exception of lipstick and powder, you need not remove it during the evening. When you shop for an evening bag, keep this in mind: it can be small and chic but it still should be designed to hold more than a single lipstick.

Boat Blocks Intersection ROCHESTER, UP) During a heavy rain here, police got a complaint that a boat was illegally parked at a West Side intersection. Patrolmen, envisioning a flooded street, rushed to the intersection. They found a rowboat illegally parked. It was mounted on a trailer. story gardening, learning languages or designing and making their own clothes.

Whatever the interests, it is beyond the personal and petty problems of everyday living. And usually, such women have more than one interest. At parties, their conversation does not revolve about the price of meat, the behavior of their children or the latest gossip. They are eager to know, to see and to discuss what they have learned. Quite naturally, they attract other people.

This is the chief reason why some women, who never seem to possess any claim to beauty, are great magnets. They draw to themselves men and women of every age. Their faces reflect very clearly their enchantment: with the world about them. If you're curious to see how this works, try it. Get interested in something and discover everything there is to know about it.

Then go on to something else! You're on your way! What's the next move? contemplates. Federation rated her an expert (next highest to master). And in 1959 she became queen of the nation's chessboards by winning the U.S. Women's Championship Tournament. Lisa and Mrs.

Foreign Rivals Lisa is already getting butterflies about the Challengers. "I know I'm the best woman player in the U.S. but I have no idea how I'll stack up in international competition." The U.S. Chess Federation would like to arrange a match fall.

Finances are a problem for Lisa, too, since she doesn't want to take time away from her chess books right now to get a job. (Lisa moved here in February to be near more good chess players, but finds she spends most of her time studying.) She Looks Ahead She has received a $1,000 grant from the PeopIe-to-Peo- ple Sports Foundation, works as a part-time editor for Chess Life Magazine and gives exhibitions for clubs and schools, where she plays 15 to 20 people at once, running from board to board. "One of my best assets is my power of concentration," Lisa says. "What you really need to be a good chess player is to be able to visualize what will occur after you make moves.

You should consider three or four or five moves ahead and keep all the little pictures of the various positions in your mind." In a contest where Lisa is usually pitted against a man, how does she feel about losing? "If I lose I really feel crushed, no matter who I 'm playing. I'm a poor loser. At first I can't even look at my opponent." And winning? "When I beat a man, I don't know what to say to him. It must be very humiliating. I feel sorry for him.

"But I never feel this way during a game." you. It's mental, so you compete on the same level. "And playing chess is a good way to meet men. Look at the ratio at the last U.S. Open there were 180 men and 12 women." Lisa first saw a chess game in 1957 while a freshman math major at Temple University in her home towm, Philadelphia.

She'd gone to a coffee house on a date and the boy sat down at a chessboard. Not long after, he told her that if she really wanted to study she could be the next U.S. Women's Champion. The Next Move Right away Lisa started playing in tournaments. In March she became Philadelphia women's champion.

In August she did so well in the U.S. Open that the U.S. Chess TIME SAVER Small racks holding measuring cups and spoons hung over or near a counter where baking or other food preparation is done. Prisoners Send Posies for Deputy's Twins NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio Sheriff Charles Malterer apparently has a way of making friends even when he makes an arrest. There were 17 prisoners in Tuscarawas County Jail, many taken into custody by Malterer, when the deputy's wife gave birth to twins.

The inmates took up a col- lection and bought flowers for their captor's wife.
