F. Deans, conditionally passed
Pvt. McEwen. An official OF

forming. The promotion will

ing to detective.
Pvt. McEwen, his 10 over
weight colleagues and % other

nent newspaper lzvestia said
the American system shared
the blame.
A Portuguese newspaper, Di-
ario de Lisboa, said the climate

French and Italian newspapers

Warns Of Civil War
London's Daily Sketch warned
that Kennedy's Staying could
touch off another American Civ
il War-''a disaster Of unparal-
leled magnitude for the West"
The Paris newspaper Liberia
ton accused the Dallas police
Of Withholding Information.
It gave this version Of the
events in Dallas:
There Is no doubt President
Kennedy fell into a trap. He
was the victim Of a plot, and
49,. it Is evident that the Dallas
police, protectors Of gangsters
like Ruby, played a role you
can only describe as questiona-
bic. They created a defendant
then allowed one Of their stool
pigeons to kill him."
The newspaper gave no
source for its information.
Paris Jour and Milan's Cor
riere Lombardo said Tuesday
the old Italian surplus rifle said
to have killed Kennedy could
not have fired the three shots
that struck him and Texas Gov.
John Connally in such rapid
succession.
Maybe It was not Oswald
who fired three shots at Ken
nedy," 1t said.
"Didn't Fire Alone"
Oswald did not fire Alone"
Paris Jour said. EITHER the RI
file was not the murder weapon
or there was someone with Os-
wald, perhaps more than one."
The Daily Sketch said Oswald
was told on his trip to Mexico
two months ago that the United
States planned to kill his hero,
Cuban Premier Fidel Castro.
"Was this the moment when
the murder of the President
was planned?" 1t asked.
