The President also announced

Senator Byrd said he would
consult Secretary Of the Treas

starting public hearings next
week.
Asked whether Congress
could complete action this year.
Senator Byrd replied, Il don't

Expired Last Night
The life Of the Civil Rights
Commission expired last night.
But existing law gives the
agency so more days in which
to wind up its affairs, and if
congressional leaders can get
the extension bill to the White
House within a few days there
would be no serious Interrupt
ton to the commissions work.
Senate leaders late yesterday
offered the one-year extension
as an amendment to a private
relief bill, which has already
passed the House.
II the Senate adopts the
amendment, the House could
complete action by accepting
the amendment.
The bill TO which the Civil
Rights Commission measure is
being attached would pay a
death benefit claim to Mrs.
Elizabeth G. Mason, Of Houlton,
Me-, the widow Of Mai. Theo-
dore P. Mason, who was killed
in Belgium during World War
II.

Senators took the floor to OPP

indications are the will not try
to prevent action today. They

the building, Chief Curry said,
thought nothing of it at the
time because, to them, Oswald
belonged there. Later, however,
police decided to investigate
him because Of his quick de-
parture, and a radio lookout
was broadcast.
He theorized that Pvt. Tip
pitt, 39-year-old father Of
three, may have recognized
Oswald on the street from the
description and tried to ques-
ton him.
Witnesses said Oswald fled
one block on foot after shoot
ing the policeman in the FORE
head and was trapped in the
Texas Theater where he had
taken refuge. -
Meanwhile, Oswald's family
rallied to his support. His
blond. 22-year-old Russian-
born wife, Marina, carrying
their infant daughter in her
arms, gave every indication she
is standing by her husband
when she was brought to the
FBI field office here for ques-
tioning.
Russian Wife Questioned
Although there is reason to
suspect she speaks English bet
ter than she admits, FBI
agents had to bring in an in.
terpreter to question the young
mother. Even so, her answers
were noncommital and defen-
sive, it was reported.
Mrs. Oswald would not even
tell questioners why she and
her husband had been living
apart for the past several
weeks-the suspect in a fur
nished room in Southwest Dali
las and his wife and child in a
home in the nearby town Of
Irving.
The suspects mother, Mrs.
Marguerite Oswald, a practical.
nurse who lives in Fort Worth.
and his brother, Robert Lee
Oswald, indicated to District
Attorney Henry Wade that they
were seeking a lawyer for Lee
Harvey Oswald.
H. Louis Nichols, president
OF the Dallas Bar Association.
who met with Oswald this af,.
ternoon, said Oswald told him
ne would like to be represented
by John Abt of New York CITY.
A well-known New York LAWYER
named John Abt has defended
many Communists on various
charges.
If he could not get Abt, Mr..
Nichols said, Oswald would like
a lawyer from the American
CiVil Liberties Union, of which
he is a member.
Mr.. Nichols said he went to
see Oswald because he had
heard that Oswald had been
unable to get legal counsel.

Oswald rented an So a week
room-a barren 5 by IL foot
room. He usually retired by
10 pm. He kept his room clean,
according to his landlady, and
never spent the week ends
there.
During the Friday noon hour,
the housekeeper was watching
a television report Of President
Kennedy's shooting when she
said Of Oswald:
HE came in running like the
dickens, and 1 said to him,
you sure are in a hurry but
he didn't say anything-just

I walked up the aisle and

stood up and raised both hands.

Then he hit me a pretty good
one in the face with his fist.
I saw him going for his gun
and I grabbed him around the
waist. We struggled and fell
around the seats for a few Sec

butt of his pistol. But he had
his hand on the trigger. I was
pulling the gun toward me,
and I heard the hammer click.
The primed (Which detonates
the bullet) was dented, and it
didn't fire. This might have
saved me. I got the pistol out

Bob Carroll, reached me and
took the pistol from me. I held

Chief Curry was asked If

killed President Kennedy may
have been aiming at Texas

not think so because the Presi.
dent was hit twice while the
Texas Governor suffered only
one wound.

The paraffin test disclosure,

In early 1862, he wrote q
letter to Senator Tower, Re-
publican of Texas, asking his

the letter on Friday night. The
text; with Oswald's spelling
and punctuation, follows:

About the same time, HI
wrote a letter to John Con-

whom he wounded on Friday
The letter was addressed II
Mr.. Connally as Secretary Of
the Navy, a job he had by thai
time turned over to Fred A
Korth.
The Pentagon yesterday re-
leased the text of that note
which protested his "undesire-
able discharge" from the Ma
rine Reserves on September
30, 1860. The discharge fol-
lowed stories from Moscow

grand Jury next Wednesday or
on Monday, December 2.
If the grand jury returns in
dictments against Oswald, the
Prosecutor said he expects to
be able to go to trial no later
than January. Oswald will be
tried for the murder Of Mr..
Kennedy first, District At
torney Wade declared.
He said Oswald, who now is
being held without bond for
the grand jury, is entitled to
appear himself or present wit
nesses Of his own to the secret
panel. However, he said the
suspect is not required to dc
this.
If indicted, Oswald Is en-
titled to a habeas corpus hear
ing to determine If he can be
held without bond, but Mr..
Wade pointed out that Texas
law provides that no bond be
set in cases involving capital
crimes.
Mr.. Wade said he will de-
mand that Oswald be found
guilty and demand his death
in the electric chair for the
crimes Of which he is accused.
Oswald was not represented
by counsel on either occasion
last night when he was given
preliminary hearings on the
two State murder charges
against him.
Charged as Kennedy's Killer
Both times. five hours apart,
Justice Of the Peace David
Johnston apprised Oswald of
his rights, read the charges
and then ordered him held
without bond.
The complaint, filed by
Capt. Will Fritz of the Homi-
eide Squad at 1926 am. CEST)
today, read:
Lee Harvey Oswald, here
after styled defendant, here
tofore on or about the twenty
second day of November AID,
1868, in the County of Dallas,
State of Texas, did then and
there voluntarily and with
malice beforethought unlaw-
fully kill John F. Kennedy by
shooting him with a gun"
Mr.. Wade said he had talked
with OSwald's relatives and
understood from them that
counsel was being sought for
the youth. 1t Oswald does not
obtain counsel Of his own
choosing, the prosecutor said,
Texas Jurisprudence provides
that a court-appointed lawyer
enter the case.
He reiterated that he con-
siders Oswald to be perfectly
sane" But he said the suspect
will soon be given a pSychiatric
examination to establish his
mental condition. He said Os-
valid may even have himself
examined by a pSychiatrist of
his own selection if he wishes.
Chief Curry told reporters
today detectives had found a
quantity of Communist books
and pamphlets in the room
Oswald occupied in the Oak
Cliff section near the movie
theater in which he was CAP
tured. He said Oswald appar-
emily had left the book build
ing Immediately after the
and had gone home
to change his clothes.
Chief Curry said ne did not
know why Oswald wanted to
change his attire nor have po-
lice established Just how the
travelled the two miles
from the assassination scene in
downtown Dallas across the
Trinity River to his home. He
said it is possible someone in
advertantly gave Oswald a lift
away from the scene or that
Oswald may simply have taken
a bus.
Police first became aware of
Oswald when they learned he
had been seen leaving the
building Immediately after the
President was shot from one of
its upper windows. People in

ously wounded Gov. Connally.
The two bullets that mortal
ly wounded the President in
the head and neck are con-
sidered to be in relatively good
condition for ballistics testing
techniqueS. One Of the bullets,
as was learned, was found on
the stretcher that bore Presi-
dent Kennedy from his car
into the Dallas Hospital where
he died. 1t apparently had
fallen clear after penetrating
the Presidents body.
Dallas police said they ex-
pect to receive reports on the
laboratory tests late today or
tomorrow but already are on
record as saying they consider
the evidence against Oswald
to be ample"
The rifle and three expended
cartridge shells were found on
the sixth floor of the Texas
School Book Depository build
ing overlooking the roadway
where Mr.. Kennedy was shot.
Oswald was employed as a
wrapper in the book company.
In other developments dis
closed today:
l. It was learned police have
located a man who drove
Oswald to work yesterday
morning and said the suspect
was carrying a long package
that could have concealed an
object the size Of the rifle.
2. Police Chief Jesse E.
Curry revealed that detectives
are questioning another man
in connection with the assas-
Sination of Mr.. Kennedy.
Quiz Fellow Worker
The second man being ques-
toned in the case is described
by police as a fellow worker
of Oswald at the book COM
pany, Of Latin origin.
Chief Curry said the only
reason for interrogating the
second man was that his name
has turned up among a list
of those in the Dallas area who
have attended left-wing Or
ganization meetings.
Earlier Chief Curry declared,
and then retracted the state
ment that the FBI had ques-
toned Oswald in recent weeks
and had not notified the Dali
las police that he was in the
area. The FBI promptly de-
MED this statement, and said
it's agents had interviewed OS-
valid only once more than a
year ago when he got into
some trouble in New Orleans.
81 didn't mean to accuse
the FBI of not cooperating"
the chief said. Somebody told
me last night they had talked
to him, but I don't know who it
was. 1 don't know if they
knew he was in Dallas or not"
FBI sources indicated OS-
valid came to Dallas from Fort
Worth about two months ago
but said the suspects presence
here was not known to them.
Rejects Lie DetectOr Test
Meanwhile, District Attorney
Henry Wade told reporters this
afternoon Oswald had been
asked if he wished to submit
to a lie detector test but that
he had declined. He said Os-
valid continues to deny any
knowledge of the shooting of
President Kennedy or Police
man j. D. Tippitt.
Mr.. Wade said the State has
at least Is witnesses in connec-
ton with the two murder
charges against Oswald includ-
ing some persons who saw him
fatally wound the 39-year-old
policeman in the forehead two
miles away and so minutes
after President Kennedy was
slain.
Mr.. Wade said I'VE have suf-
ficient evidence to prove he
killed the President"
He said he expects to present
the evidence against Oswald to
