 When the distritt attorney left his offices he was asked whether he could make any statement. He said he did not deem it proper to do so. He said he expected to work on the case tonight. An afternoon newspa- per man asked him whether he arl- tcipated any developments that might warrant an extra edition. He hesi- tated but finally said that he did not.
 Dick Parsons, the automobile rental agent who supplied Burch with car several times before Kennedy's death, told the officers today that Burch had q woman companion on some of his trips. Parsons was asked to visit the jail and see whether Mrs. Obenchain was that companion but had not made the call late today.
