valid worked in the building
from which the shots thai
killed President John F. Ken
nedy were fired a month later,
a housewife with whom Mrs
Oswald lived, said today.
Mrs. Ruth Paine, of nearby
Irving, Tex, told the Associat-
ed Press that she told two FBl
agents that Oswald, accused of
asSaSSinating the President
worked in the Texas School
Book Depository.
Mrs. Marina Oswald, widow
of the accused man, lived with
Mrs. Paine in her home until
the day of the assassination
Pay Courtesy Call"
The two agents were max
ing what they called a 'cour-
tesy cali on Marina" Mrs,
Paine said. II understand they
visit all immigrants from be-
hind the Iron Curtain and in
vite them to tell of any at
tempts at blackmail or other
threats against relatives left
behind in Europe"
Mrs. Paine said she inter-
preted for Oswald's Russian
born wife on the two occasions
FBI agents visited her. During
the course of conversation, she
said, she told the two agents
where Oswald worked and that
he had rented a room in the
Oak Cliff section of Dallas.
They did not seem particu-
larly interested in Lee" she
added. They seemed to want
to help Marina If any Of her
family was threatened after
she come to this country"
Made Second Visit
Mrs. Paine said the agents
visited Oswald's wife sometime
after October 4 and again
sometime after October l6." 1t
was on the second visit, she
said, that she told of OSwald's
employment location and where
he lived in Dallas.
II first assumed they were
here to see Lee" she said, but
that was not the case"
Meanwhile, the Dallas Morn
ing News today said that off
GERS are convinced" Oswald
fired the rifle shot that mar
rowly missed former Maj. Gen,
Edwin A. Walker last spring.
The News said an entry in a
notebook and a statement by
Oswald's widow proved the
convincing factors. A sniper
hiding in q dark alley behind
Gen. Walkers home shot at
him April 10 as he was inside
working on an income tax re-
turn.
The story said Oswald scrib-
bled a notebook entry with
Gen. Walkers name and phone
number. Investigators found
the notebook in Oswald's room
after his arrest in the Kennedy
shooting.
Federal agents repeatedly
have been told by Oswald's
Russian-born wife that her
husband came home the night
of April 10 and boosted he had
shot at the former general.

The search for facts sur
rounding the assassination OF
the late President Kennedy to-
day was narrowed down to q
single Federal investigation
after the Attorney General Of
Texas decided to postpone his
Texas court Of inquiry.
The postponement came al
the direct request of Chief JUS
tice Earl Warren, chairman OF
the special presidential COM
mission created to make known
the true facts Of the assassina-
ton to the American people.
In a letter to Attorney Gen.
eral Waggoner Carr Of Texas
the Chief Justice said the COM

inquiry in Texas at this time
might be more harmful thar

ence in the Justice Department
late yesterday.

The Withered Branch"
Senator Russell said he
hoped Senator Clark would
make a more determined effort
to get his rules study approved
before citing what happened
yesterday as evidence that
Congress is a withered branch.
The Clark resolution as re-
commended by the Rules Com
mittee would have set up a
Joint committee to consider
how Congress could expedite its
work, but forbade the Joint
committee from considering
the rules Of procedure of either
| the House or Senate. The fight
is not against the joint COM
mittee, but against a Clark
amendment which would allow
the joint group to study the
rules of the House and Senate.
Although denying that he
staged any filibuster this week,
Senator Russell says he has no
apology to make to anyone for
defending the ability Of the
Senate to make its own rules
without joint action by the
House.

The Senate apparently has
sidetracked for the rest Of this
year the effort by a group of
liberals. led by Senator Clark,
Democrat of Pennsylvania, to
set up a joint committee to
overhaul the rules and proce-
dures of Congress.
The decision of the leader
ship to adjourn" last night in
stead of "receSsing" until Mon
day had the effect of wiping
out the motion to take up the
Clark proposal.
It is doubtful II the Senate
will get another chance to con-
slider this issue before the
Christmas adjournment be-
cause Of the stack Of ap-
preparations and other major
bills awaiting action.
When Congress returns in
January it may have a short
time to consider the Clark reso-
luton before it plunges into
the battles over the tax and
civil rights bills.

It Is hard to escape the

FORD: Decline and Rebirth,
1S33-1962. BY Allan Nevins
and Frank Ernest Hill.
(Scribner's; $3.50
OF all the hundreds Of
auto companies that marched
across the first six decades
Of this century in America,
probably none has attracted
so much praise and contro-
versy. and seen so much en-
lightened labor relations or
brutality at one time or an
other than Ford.
Historians Nevins and Hill,
backed by Columbia UNI
versity and aided by the adj
mirably nonmeddling atti-
tude Of Ford Motor Co.,
have dug into company files
and produced an impressive
final volume to their trilogy
on Ford's past.
A Definitive Work
It is q definitive work,
with all the virtues and
faults Of that phrase. The
authors, unlike previous Bos-
wells Of Henry Ford. display
q calm detachment. The
story Of the brilliant tinker
er from Dearborn who gave
us the assembly line and the
standardized, interchange
able parts in q cheap, sturdy
peoples car-all this is fol-
lowed by an equally frank
account Of Harry Benefits

1930s and the crumbling
Ford organization Of the
early 1940s, as well as de-
tailed chapters on the COM
pany's astonishing rebound

worth more than three para
graphs.
But these flaws are un-
derstandable In such q hero
ic undertaking. Messrs. New
ms and Hill have completed
a huge and exacting task,
and given the public at least
a fair appraisal Of an enig-
matte, often misunderstood
industrialist, whose final 20
years sadly blurred the
bright image Of his youthful
