Aiding on Full
Oswald Report
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG
star STAFF Writer

~eSPOA " 4IOIu many EeQeral
agencies are funneling into the
Justice Department as it pre-
pareS to assemble the full story
behind the assassination of
President Kennedy and the
murder of his accused assassin.
To the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation has fallen the prime
role IN the inquiry ordered by
President Johnson.
But the Justice Department
Is also collecting answers from
the Secret Service, Immigra-
ton and Naturalization Service. !
State Department, Defense De-
partment and Central Intelli- |
gence Agency.
President johnson directed /
the other Federal agencies to |
cooperate in an Investigation |
designed to answer the innu-
merable questions posed by the |
assassination and the subSe-
quent murder as well as to lay
to rest the baSeless rumors
heard since the Dallas tragedy. |
An Leads Checked
In the final days of the in
vestigation, the FBI is laboring
to separate the chaff of rumor
from the wheat of fact. Every
lead-including the ones CROP
ping up in news stories-is
being run to earth.
Hopes of getting the final
report assembled and into the
Presidents hands this week
dimmed as more questions were
raised and had to be checked
out.
The report is aimed at DEM
onstrating to a reasonable man
beyond a reasonable doubt
what actually happened at
Dallas-and why. In essence,
the entire American public will
be the jury, rather than the IL
who would have sat in the Jury
box If Lee Harvey Oswald had
lived to be tried as the slayer of
President Kennedy.
As Government officials now
view it, the problem in the in
vestigation is not who pulled
the trigger. They are now sa-
tisfied that the evidence con-
clusively points to Oswald.
Conspiracy Doubted
The problem, rather, is In
establishing that the asSassina-
ton was the work of a fanatic
acting alone. So far in the in
vestigation, no evidence has
been developed to indicate a
conspiracy, particularly a con-
spiracy of international scope.
At this time, there is also no
evidence of any connection be-
tween Oswald and Jack Ruby,
the mig h t-club operator
charged with his murder. Gov
eminent spokesman, however,
are keeping a tight lid on their
findings, and making no public
comment until every clue has
been explored, from home mo-
vie film to overheard snatches
Of conversation. Any of them
could change the whole COM
pleXion of the investigation,
but as it stands now, the very
irrationality of the act and Os-
wald'S equally irrational beha-
vior after the shooting seemed
to isolate him from any group.
The reports being channeled
to the Justice Department from
other agencies are helping to
establish the chronology and
background so vital to an I'M
derstanding of the events of
last Friday.

1864, If the Negroes arguments
should prevail.
There are compelling reasons
for finally implementing, with
out further delay, the right Of
school children to obtain de-
segregated education which was
declared in this very case more
than nine years ago." the JUS
tice Department said.
The Negroes appeal is from
a 81 decision of the United
States Fourth Circuit Court
voiding an injunction against
State tuition grants for private
schools in the county and
multiplying an order which
called for reopening Of the
public schools.
Source of Funds
The reopening order, how
ever. did not specify where
funds would come from to
run the schools and the Viz
ginia Supreme Court last week
ruled there is no constitutional
obligation for Virginia to re-
open schools in the county.
Today's brief filed by the
Justice Department with the
United States Supreme Court
said the State court ruling does
not make the case moot. The
brief said Federal constitu-
tional questions in the case
do not depend upon any point
decided by the Virginia court.
The Justice Department said
that public support of 80

Opinion Cited
The department cited the
high courts 1858 opinion in
the Little Rock, Ark. school
case that State support Of

denies equal protection of the
laws.
The department said the
question of framing "a proper
remedy" in the Prince Edward
case is not an insurmountable
problem. 1t said there Is ample
precedent for compelling as
sessment of local taxes.
Public schools in Prince Ed
ward County were closed in
1859 after the county board of
supervisors refused to levy
school taxes fof the 1959-6O
school year because Of a pend

Vatican II

Today in Rome the second session
Of the Second Vatican Council convenes.
What the late Pope John XIII rightly
regarded as his most important work
now moves forward under his successor,
Paul vi.
It is clear, as Johns council recon-
venes, that the movements he set going
for ecclesiastical reform and toward
Christian unity are to be continued. It
is also clear that the force Of those
movements had been gathering within
the Catholic Church for decades before
John, in some cases even for centuries.
European theologians of all persua-
sionS are accustomed to speak Of the
scandal" of Christian diSunity. As
Americans we have never thought of
Christian variety as especially scan
dalouS. Not only has our entire ma
tional history been lived In religious
pluralism; our civil society, our state
and our churches are all better off for
having been spared the practical union
Of church and state that has charac-
terized the past of almost every nation
in Europe.
On the other hand, everyone even
aware Of Christianity from a distance
has been scandalized by the automatic
opposition, even animosity, that has
prevailed in Catholic-P Protestant rela-
tions for some 400 years. The personal
style OF Pope John, including his in
vitation to non-Catholic observers to
attend the Council, did much to end
that scandal.
Signs have multiplied that Roman
acceptance Of American-style pluralism
is going to be one of the most Signifi-
cant results Of Vatican II. The pres
ence Of Protestant and Orthodox OBJ
servers at every Council meeting was
the first such sign. The most recent
has been Paul WIS statement about the
position Of Catholic bishops. Until re-
Gently thought of as Vatican regional
administrators, it is clear that they are
to regain much of their ancient au-
tonomy, a position quite close to that
occupied by, for example, bishops of the
Episcopal and Orthodox Churches.
Pluralism and decentralization also
seem present in Counciliar thought on
the reform Of the liturgy and the re-
sponsibilities Of the Christian layman.
Here again, the Roman Church is
accepting what have been considered
Protestant values.
The new Christian unity that may
emerge from the Council will be moth
ing at all like the organizational unity
Of the Middle Ages. But 1t may we'll be
more fitting to the dignity and integrity
Of mature Christians and their churches
in a democratic age.
We wish the Vatican Council the
guidance Of the Spirit in its high task.

The HIoqicoI French

The French are said to be uniquely
gifted in the field Of logic. Sometimes,
however, this Judgment Of their many
undeniable talents has more legend
In 1t than solid fact.
What is logical, for instance, about
President de Gaulle's position on the
atom2 He has been arguing for many
months that France must develop and
build its own nuclear force completely
independent of the "Anglo-Saxons"
(meaning the Americans and the Brit
ish). The French have every right to
do this If they think that 1t gives them
an extra margin Of safety In an age
when they must reckon with the con-
ceivability-as General de Gaulle has
argued-that the United States might
not come to their defense in the event
Of Soviet attack.
But this constitutes an unjustifiable
estimate of Americas solemn commit
ment to oppose by all necessary means
any armed aggression against any
member Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Gaullist logic is without
basis when 1t argues to the contrary.

During a considerable number of
years in which we have watched the
World Series on TV, 1t never once
crossed our minds that grown men
would some day build entire conversa-
tions on the catchy theme, How are
va fixed for blades2"
1t has come to pass.
What's more, 1t has done so with
no benefit at all to the liberal and
princely giver Of all that sporting life.
Quite the contrary. A foreign competitor,
a Mr.. Wilkinson Of England, is reaping
the harvest with his Sword" razor
blade.
The thing is hard to get. You find
Wilkinsons at Garden Supply Shop, for
example. You wait in line, and you take
1t as personal favor that the man will
sell you single package. More than
one, he won't.
We went through all this with
Scotch in the twenties and nylons In
World War II-and here 1t is again.
You can't sit down at Washington
table or lean on convivial bar without
some character Dragging about his new

depends on America.

not shine too brightly here. Indeed,
1t does not shine at all.
