Other thousands came in the early dawn--families hud- died with children and blankets. Through the night, other thousands had walked through the Capitol to see the draped coffin and pay last res- pects to the fallen president. Po- lice estimated the total at around 240,000. At least 2,000 were waiting in line, hoping to get in, when the doors were closed to the public at 8:30 a.m. As, the hour approached for the president's body to leave the Capitol, the rotunda filled with members of Congress, sen- ators, governors of states and other officials. . It was a beautiful and clear. Members of the Senate filed into the rotunda shortly before Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, veiled and dressed in black, came out of the north portico of the White House at 10:25 a.m. and entered a_ limousine for the drive to the Capitol.

Guards outside the door sa- tuted as the coffin was borne flag-/out the door and down the steps. An officer called "'atten- tion," a salute was fired and a band broke into Hail to the Chief, The huge crowd in the Capitol plaza was silent and stood al- most motionless.

"The grants are undue sub- sidies to certain provinces at the expense of others. . Equalization in its present form is basically wrong and unfair," he said. Another British Columbia sug- Ed- gestion aimed directly at On- tario and Quebec was for re- ductions in tariffs, quota re- strictions and dumping duties designed to protect the big manufacturing provinces. Mr. Lioyd said his provincial submission also dwelt on the question of tax sharing with the federal government but he would not elaborate on what changes he would like to see.

The block in front of the ca- 'thedral was cleared of spectat- ors but thousands pressed against restraining limes in nearby streets. As part of the security precau- tions, policemen were posted atop buildings across the street from the cathedna! Many of the black limousines bringing invited guests bore na- tional colors. They stopped at the cathedral steps and un- loaded ambassadors and other diplomats. The army band, its drums draped in black, formed on the sidewalk beside the cathedral. Also among the early arrivals at St. Matthews were Mr. and Mrs. John Glenn. ; There was a momentary stir as a window in a building next to the cathedral shattered and showered down on police and troops. Secret service men and police wushed to the sixth floor.of the -loffice building and were seen peering out of the window shortly afterwards. A secret serviceman told a re- porter a man trying to ppen the window had broken it acciden- tally.
