Advisers Near

By Bruce L. Paisner

Kennedy's advisers have narrowed their choices for the Kennedy to two riverfront locations, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, Special the President, told the CRIMSON last night.

, who met with President Pusey in Cambridge Wednesday to consider proposed locations, revealed that the library housing Kennedy's official will be built either on a corner of Soldiers Field at the bend in the Charles the Eliot Bridge, or on a site across the River from Dunster House the Business School.

asserted that "both areas are perfectly satisfactory" but said that he prefers the Soldiers Field site "because of its commanding location."

The President himself is known to favor the Soldiers Field location, because Longfellow Park, directly across the River from the site, would create an impressive mall, leading from the library to Longfellow House.

Unfortunately, the Federal Government must overcome legal and technical hurdles before the site can be used for the Kennedy Library.

Long Legal Preparation

The Soldiers Field site was given to the University by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow under a deed which limits its use strictly to "meadows or College buildings." Schlesinger said that "the Federal government might be able to construct a library on the land since the building would be used for scholastic purposes," but he indicated that "long legal preparation would be necessary."

Schlesinger also said that swampy land on the site may present some engineering problems. He maintained, however, that "the Administration has not given the Kennedy Library project very high priority, because the problem does not have to be solved until after 1963."

Kennedy will not turn over his papers to the library until after his term of office. The library will be supported by private donations.

Schlesinger is now working closely with Wayne Grover, the archivist of the United States, and Edward Hanify of the Boston law firm of Ropes and Gray.
