Dallas Staying was completed
and q presidential commission
began studying the case. A bill
to make assassination Of a Pres
ident q Federal crime was de-
layed, pending Commission find
ings.
The accused killer Of President
Kennedy was, variously, one who
tried to kill Mai. Gen. Edwin A.
Walker last April; an innocent
"scapegoat," according to his
mother; one who loved dogs as a
child: a schizoid personality at
Is; an ATHEIST; a bookworm; a
classroom teaser; a Marxist; a
quick learner, and a moody, hos
tile recluse.
Such is the kaleidoscope and
jumbled picture emerging from
recollections of scores of persons
interviewed since the November %
assassination in Dallas.
The world may never know
what really made Lee Oswald tick,
for society was robbed Of the
chance to study him two days
later by night club operator. Jack
Ruby, who killed him with one
shot.

Fair Trial

But the case against Oswald
now contains q mass of circum-
stantial evidence. The American
Civil Liberties Union last week
claimed he could never have re-
ceived q fair trial, having been
tried on TV and In the press
within hours Of his capture. But
even if the case we're shifted TO
Afghanistan. a defense attorney
would have to contend with these
facts:
. An Italian-made rifle was Or
dered from a Chicago mail-order
house under an assumed name
but In Oswald's handwriting. The
serial number was the same on
the gun found at the book ware
house window in Dallas after the
shooting. Ballistics tests proved
bullets from the gun killed the
President.
. Oswald's fingerprintS were on
the murder gun. A snapshot of
him holding q rifle Of this type
was found by police.
. A map found In his room
showed q line drawn from the
book warehouse to the spot where
the bullets struck. Witnesses said
he was on the sixth floor Of the
building during the Staying.
Q A bus driver said a man with
OSwald's description boarded his
vehicle soon after the shooting
and announced the President had
been shot, then laughed.

Typical Bargain

But this Is the kind Of bargain
Lyndon johnson has made for
years. II he can get the bill to the
floor, he probably can find
enough votes to assure its enact
MEANWHILE permitting opponents
to make peace with their con-
sciences.
On the House side last week,
pressure Of q different sort pro-
duced results. Chairman Howard
w. Smith Of the powerful Rules
Committee has the civil rights bill
In his clutches. Judging from past
performance, he could be depended
upon to (a) vanish into the
countryside for weeks. or (b) SIM
ply say no to demands for report
ing the bill to the floor.
A Dixie conservative, Mr.. Smith
has INSTRUCTED similar measures
for years. But this time, he failed
to reckon on President johnson.
The first broad hint came in
the Presidents speech before q
joint session Of Congress Deem
Der 1, In which he urged lawmak-
ers to pass the rights bill without
delay.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-08
Logjom Broken

BY Thursday. the johnson pres
sure had broken the logjam. Mr..
Smith announced that he would
begin hearings on the rights bill
in January, making the petition
unnecessary. That means, accord
ing to @. o. P. Minority Leader
Charles A. Halleck, the bill proba-
bly, will be passed by the end of
January at the latest"
No one in @. o. P. ranks ever
considered President johnson as
less than q formidable and eff
cient politician. and many agree
that he earned points in last
weeks activity. But q small voice
might have asked: What was
changed by it ALP No one really
believed either rights or tax bills
would reach o vote in 1868 any
how, and the net effect of the
bargains" was to save face all
around.
The Southern conservatives
could tell their constituents, I'VE
stalled this rights bill for q whole
year" The budget-cutterS could
claim the same on the tax meas
ure. The White House could
point at its catalytic force. In this
game, everybody was a winner.

Memorials:
A Long List

Proposals to rename public
sites after President Kennedy
Swelled Congressional mail
sacks last week. If the trend
continues, a commission may be
required to screen suggestions.
The public's urge to put its
sorrow and affection for John F.
Kennedy into some kind of
permanent. concrete memorial, to
make visible its sentiments, is
showing UP In letters to Capitol
Hill.
Very soon after the Dallas
assassination. President johnson
quickly agreed to a suggestion to
rename Cape Canaveral for him.
Congress followed suit with bills
to name the National Cultural
Center here the John F. Kennedy
Memorial Center. and to assure
speedy construction by Federal
matching funds.
But the idea soon began snow
balling and the volume of SUCCESS
tons now seems unprecedented,
a mark of the intimate, fond
regard the Nation had for its
youngest President.
In addition to naming the new
Maryland-Delaware Northeast Ex-
preSsway after him-a move with
some logic, since the President Of
ficially opened it this fall-author-
tiles have begun suggesting post
offices and hospital wings as likely
tributes.

'USSR Relations

Z ! Premier Khrushchev earlier in
the week had given his first ten
7tative blessing to Mr.. JohnSon's
views on United States-Soviet
relations. The Soviet leader said.
2tnsa statement published in Rus
sian newspapers and broadcast by
Moscow Radio, that I'VE note with
satisfaction" Mr.. Johnson'S de-
,ciSred intention to follow Mr.. Ken
snedy's policy Of seeking improved
relations between the two coun-
tries.
Diplomatic observers were quick
to. conclude that the Khrushchev
declaration. together with the new
Presidents avowals, meant that
the Soviet Union and the United
States had preserved the continu-
ity Of their relations in the wake
of Mr.. Kennedy's assassination.
On the Western (alliance)
front, Mr.. johnson last week
moved to emphasize his personal
interest In and support Of NATO
and his desire to know more init
nnately his opposite numbers. He

Little Time Left

= AS Prof. Henry r. Graft, chair
man Of the history department at
columbia University and an ex-
pert on the problems Of the inter-
regnum in American politics. has
pointed out, the new change in
command at the White House has
come later in a presidential term
than ever before.
y Harry s. Truman had nearly
three and three quarter years to
serve Of his predecessors term;
Calvin Coolidge had only q year
and seven months, but times then
we're much more peaceful and I'M
complicated; Theodore Roosevelt
had three years and Andrew
johnson nearly four years. Lyn-
don Johnson, however, has only
"A months and he faces q nomi-
mating convention in eight and an
election in IL.
Accordingly, we probably will
not really see the LBJ brand on
the White House unless and until
Lyndon Johnson wins o new term
on his own next fall. Meanwhile.
he is welded to the Kennedy i'm
age and is wearing the JF.K label
With enthusiasm.
This Is generally very welcome
news abroad. both to friend and
foe. Mr.. Kennedy had been pursu-
ing q detente with the Soviet
.UAion and his policies were popu-
lar in Western Europe everywhere
save for France. Non-CommuniSt
Latin America, Africa and the Far
East also generally approved.

Agency on Friday confirmed this.

days in the White House. includ-
Ing his address to the joint ses-
sion Of Congress, was highly ia

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-08
The Reason Why

Assuming this would be enough
to convince jury. a number Of
riddles remain. The biggest is SIM
ply: Why2 What did Oswald hope
to gain? Did he think he could es-
cape? How could he plan the kill
ing with such detailed skill but
leave an amateurish trail Of EVIL
dence and bungle his escape so
badly that he was captured within
hours?
A special commission appointed
by President johnson is now look
ing into the whole tragic affair.
Aided by a thorough report from
the FBI, which stresses that Os-
valid acted alone and not as a
member Of a gang. the panel
hopes to find some answers.
The commission, headed by
Chief Justice Earl Warren, will
ask Congress for power to sub
pena persons an6 papers. Among
questions the FBI probably viii
lay to rest: Jack Ruby had 40
connection with Oswald. End no
motive for silencing him other
than a rash whim to assure quick
justice.
Through a fluke in the law, the
killing Of any Federal officers
guarding the President would
have been a Federal crime, but
not the President himself. A bill
to broaden Uncle Sans authority
to the Chief Executive is now in
the Senate Judiciary Committee,
but it faces delay.
Committee members said last
week they will defer action until
they receive recommendation by
the commission. The chances are
that the final law will also cover
the Vice President and all others
in line Of succession, including
Cabinet members.

Tax Bill PIedqe

The tax cut, Senator Byrd told
the President in . private White
House luncheon Thursday, is
progressing In an orderly fash
ion" and will be reported to the
floor by regular procedure. after
Congress receives knowledge Of
the new Federal budget.
Translation: Mr.. johnson will
get the tax cut bill he seeks early
in 1854, providing he lets Harry
Byrd take an advance peek at the
Nations spending plans next year.
This the President assured me
was satisfactory to him." said the
economy minded Senator.
The pact does not carry any
promise by Senator Byrd to vote
for the tax cut. He signalled his
personal distaste for the whole
idea earlier this year by schedul-
ing 131 witnesses on the measure.
q move almost guaranteed to stall
action until Congress adjourned.
And when 9 floor vote finally
comes, Senator Byrd probably will
go on record against 1t, on the
grounds that taxes should not be
reduced without corresponding
cuts In Federal spending.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-08
Why the Delay?

There are many explanations
for the delay. Some claim a DELHI
crate plot by Southern conserva-
tive committee heads to stall on
money bills to defeat civil rights
legislation. Others cite frank
statements by budget cutters on
the Hill, e.g., Chairman Cannon
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee: The longer these bills are
delayed, the more the possibilities
of further reducing them. and in
consequence, the less the drain
on the Treasury"
Whatever the reason. it was
another week of leisurely action.
Some of the bills that did move
included:
0 A $50 billion authorization for
foreign aid, approved by Senate
House conferees. It is about $500
million less than what the ad-
ministration asked, but 500 more
than the amount voted by the
House.
Q House approval Of a cotton
subsidy for United States textile
mills to help reduce the price Of
domestic textiles and make them
more competitive with foreign
imports.
0 Senate extension Of the Mex
lean farm labor program, which
recruits help from south Of the
border, to December 81, 1864. The
measure now goes to the White
House.
Q Temporary assistance to Mrs.
Kennedy in the form Of $4,000
for office space and staff, Secret
Service protection, and free post
age privileges. approved by both
House and Senate.
Yesterday President johnson
gave reporters a glimpse at next
years budget. He announced plans
to cut the Defense Departments
civilian payroll below l million
workers lowest level In Is years.
but added the budget will still hit
Sl02.3 billion, an increase Of $4.S
billion from estimated Federal
spending for the current fiscal
year.

THE FOREIGN SCENE
Steady Line Is Seen
In NATO Future

President johnson last week
scheduled forthcoming meetings
with British, Italian and West
German leaders.
Premier Khrushehev on Tues
day said the Soviet Union was
pleased with Mr.. Johns0n's
pledge to continue the tension
lessening policies Of President
Kennedy.
During his campaign for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton in 1860, Lyndon Baines John
sons battle cry was "All the Way
with LBJl"
Now that brutal events have cat
apulted him into the White
House from the Vice Presidency.
Mr.. johnson has edited the slogan
to fit the situation and has sacri-
feed neither the rhyme nor the
meter. He has taken pains for
Americans and all the world to
know that it is now "All the Way
with JFKW-meaning, Of course.
that he is firmly pledged to carry
out the late John F. Kennedy's
policies at home and abroad.
While 1t has been said that Mr..
johnson had participated In every
discussion Of major United States
policies under Mr.. Kennedy and
shared the latter's devotion to
them, 1t also makes tactical sense,
both from domestic and inter-
national political viewpoints, for
him to continue them.

Congress-:

Setting an unenviable post

finished last week with action
on 8 Of the IL annual ap-
preparation bills still incomplete.
It managed to move along other
measures, however, on Mexican
labor and cotton, and reached .
S3.6 billion compromise on for
eign aid.
Five months after the 1854 fis-
cal year began Congress Ii still
dallying with the money bills nee

cies such as the VA, the Space

makeshift device called q con-
tinuing resolution. This permits
them to spend at the same rate
as they did a year earlier, but
cripples new programs.

The Flame

Probably the best memorial
already had been planned by Mrs,
Kennedy. With a flair worthy Of
LEnfant himself, she originated
at his grave. In q direct line with
the Custis-Lee Mansion and Wis
ible from the Lincoln Memorial
across the Potomac. it is thronged
daily with great and humble
visitors.
To bring some order to the
scores of other suggestions,
however, Senator Humphrey Of
Minnesota with several CO.
sponsors has introduced Q bill
that would set UP Q memorial
commission. The House and
Senate would be represented with
four members apiece, plus five
private citizens named by the
President.
In screening ideas, the
commission would consult with
the Kennedy family and submit
its report to Congress within six
months. Those sites that finally
are honored with the name Of the
Nations martyred 35th President
would thus be assured Of the
careful, patrician taste associated
with his administration.
But the commission will be un-
able to do much about enthusiasm
abroad. Around the world, streets.
squares, schools and other land
marks already have been named
for the President.

While the new President will &C.
nent his personal relations with
these leaders for foreign policy
purposes, he will reap bonus fall
out on the domestic scene by
building the image that he has
taken hold of the leadership Of
the free world alliance.
Nothing was said officially last
week about a heavily limited meet
ing between Mr.. johnson and
President Charles de Gaulle Of
France. White House sources said
simply that discussions were still
under way on It. Reports from
Paris, however. indicated that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-08

Gen. de Gaulle was In no hurry
and that he might even wait until
after next November's election be-
fore meeting with an American
head Of state-Mr. johnson or
whoever 1t might be.
One reason cited for such O pos
sibIe delay Is that the general
does not believe that either side Is
ready to make any accommoda-
ton Of conflicting views as to the
future Of NATO or Of Europe at
this time. Later on In 1864, after
the French have more of their nu-
clear strike force in being. new
discussions might be more ap-
propriate. in the French view.
