Yuma Daily Sun, The (Newspaper) - May 23, 1962, Yuma, Arizona EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK Happy Birthday Jack By JONES OSBORN John Fitzgerald Kennedy will have a birthday next week and with it will become richer by three million dollars Thanks to his dad Joseph P Kennedy began trust funds for each of liis children back in 1926 The combined value of i h e trusts comes to about s and so each of the en Kennedy dren would be worth more than millions Tile President received direct ownership of of his trust funds when he reached the age of 40 Now turning -15 he pre- will receive another one- fourth bringing the total to well over 55 millions From these trusts he is ing about a year after taxes In addition he receives an- other from his personal invest merits As President he receives OUU a year which is however subject to tile income tax But he also receives a ance for travel and entertainment of a year plus a taxable allowance of a year I wonder how many persons in our capitalistic society which pays ardent lip service to the idea of personal gain resent the dent's personal Before any conclusions are drawn however it might be well to consider Kennedy is ably not our richest President Herbert Hoover is enormously wealthy So well fixed in fact that he gave his salary to char- ity The too both wealth Teddy left an estate of about and FDR one of about a- million Eisenhower is supposed to be worth more than a million And although and ry Truman were relatively while in office both made sub- stantial money by writing after leaving the presidency Coolidge also served on the board of a large insurance company Others have not fared so well Woodrow Wilson is a notable example Physically broken when he left the White House unable to develop new sources of income he was aided by some of his porters who chipped in to pay off the mortgage on his personal dence Personally I cannot envy those who encounter good fortune The presidency of the United States is a task whose responsibilities not lie matched by any amount of money 45 Killed as Jetliner Explodes CENTERVILLE Iowa A continental Airlines jet airliner crashed and disintegrated during a violent electrical storm Tuesday night All
