Senator Hill argued that the
bill is $77.3 million under last

$264.8 million under the Presi-

Senator Proxmire argued,
however. that some functions

He also pointed out that the
National Institutes Of Health
last year turned back nearly
500 million Of funds appropri-

for this. Senator Proxmire said
the new bill is an increase Of

Walker said Thursday Lee
Harvey Oswald, accused Of as
sassinating President Kennedy,
was slain ITO erase a Marxist-

Walker told newsmen "many
things led him to his opinion
about why Oswald died.
But Walker, to support his
claim would point out only that
Oswald was about three blocks
from the home of nightclub OPP
orator Jack Ruby minutes after
the assassination. Ruby shot Os-
wald to death two days after
Kennedy was killed.
Walker, who was relieved Of
his division command in Ger
many because Of alleged politi-
cal indoctrination of troops, said
he thought it was Oswald who
fired a shot at him through the
window Of his Dallas home ear
lier this year.
An FBI report given to Dallas
police concluded it was ballisti-
cally impossible to tell if the
same rifle was used to fire at
Walker and the President.

civilian population of voting age

Urges Vote Campaigns
It said the most obvious way
to combat voter apathy was
through the register-and-vote
campaigns conducted by politi-
cal parties and by civic, bust
ness, labor and other groups.
But it also urged the press, "a
dio and television to assume re-

schools for mot doing the job"
"The teaching of citizenship

to happen to him.
McLarry, 81, admitted the
threat but said it was a joke.

a Secret Service man as saying
he was glad Kennedy was dead,

then that Is the extent of it,
Federal attorneys said no link

McLarry's father described
his son as "a patriotic boy

made certain threats to take

to John Kennedy, then the Pres

"He said he would be work

McLarry admitted he made
