Boy, 7, held on plan to harm President Elect Kennedy
A 7 year old man with wavy white hair faced a $100000 bond in Palm Beach on charges he planned to turn himself into a human hazardous device to kill President elect John F Kennedy. Pavlick, a former Belmont New Hampshire postal worker, was arrested after officers found seven sticks of dynamite blasting caps wiring and other paraphernalia in his car and motel room. He spoke unclearly about the plot saying money bought the White House and the presidency while insisting he wanted to stop Kennedy from becoming president. He said he planned to take his life and Kennedy but not others. He had been treated at a mental hospital and had traveled through Hyannis Port Massachusetts where the Kennedys live. He claimed no political interest and said he might be registered as a Republican in New England.
