ROBERT WEAVER'S SON KILLS SELF

NEW YORK (AP) -- The 22-year-old adopted son of Robert C. Weaver, President Kennedy's housing chief, shot himself in the head late Tuesday and died more than four hours later.

Robert Weaver Jr., apparently believed the gun would not fire when he put it to his right temple and pulled the trigger.
