i 28, I964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY . 28, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Authorities Answer Questions on 4 - 4 By JACK LANGGUTH DALLAS - Two months after the shooting of President John F. Kennedy, questions about the as- sassination still await/satisfactory' public answers. Nevertheless, federal authorities remain convinced that Lee Harvey Oswald shot the President, and that he acted alone. Here are 12 questions some- times asked and the most authori- tative answers now available: Had Oswald served at some period as a paid informer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation? A spokesman for that agency denied today that Oswald was at any time employed by the bureau in any capacity. Newspaper and magazine art- icles have speculated that Oswald was in the service of the FBI, in- filtrating leftist organizations at its request. The bureau's denial is categorical. Quiz Oswald Agents did meet with Oswald, however, several times after his return from the Soviet Union in mid-1962. The last interview was on Aug. 10, 1963, after he had been arrested in New Orleans for a scuffle with anti-Castroites. The spokesman said that Oswald, as a defector, had been under FBI in- vestigation. In the fall of 1963, agents called twice at the home of Mrs. Ruth Paine in Irving, Tex., where Os-, wald's wife and children. were staying. Mrs. Paine told them in the first interview that Oswald was living in Dallas and working at the Texas School Book Depository. "It's a sore point with the FBI that the fact that Oswald was employed along the motorcade r WorI By The Associated Press TOKYO - Soviet stubbornness over Berlin and German reunifica- tion all but kills chances for a treaty between NATO and the Communist Warsaw Pact powers, Secretary of State Dean Rusk was reported to have told the Japanese yesterday.

Did Oswald receive a series of $10 and $20 money orders from an unknown sender through the Dal- las Western Union office?, This report first appeared in a Dallas newspaper shortly after the shooting of Oswald. An unnamed Western Union clerk was quoted as remembering him as receiving the money orders because he was so unpleasant to deal with. w Confusion Suspected An extensive check of Western Union recbrds discloses no such transactions. Investigators are now convinced that the clerk confused Oswald with other customers. Oswald did repay his debt to the State Department through West- ern Union money orders, however. He had borrowed $435 through the American Embassy in Moscow to bring his family back from the So- viet Union in 1962. Was a large sum of cash, as much as $5000, found in Oswald's room?8 Nt, even the figure of $150 that was first released by Dallas po- licemen proved to be high. A little more than $100 was found in the room. Oswald had been working at his $50 a week job at the textbook depository since Oct. 16. Given his frugal habits and the fact that he was not contributing to the sup- port of his wife and children in Irving, he could have saved that amount. Was a map found in Oswald's room with the Presidential motor- cade route and a bullet's trajec- tory drawn from a window of the textbook depository? The map of Dallas found in Os- wald's room was a job-hunting guide he had prepared. Neither the motorcade route nor a bullet's trajectory had been added. Metal Cases Mrs. Paine, who was shown the map for identification by the FBI said that the textbook depository was marked with a line of about a quarter of an inch, which may have accounted for the initial con- fusion about the map's purpose. Similar confusion has surround- ed seven metal cases that police- men took in custody Nov. 22. They have been reported erroneously as filing cabinets filled with the names of pro-Castro political workers. The cases were taken from Mrs. Paine's house in Irving. She said that three of them contained let- ters she had received in the period before she met the Oswald's; three were filled with folk-dancing rec- ords; and one case contained a motion picture projector. Investigators took the bulk of material pertaining to Oswald on three occasions: From Mrs. Paine and Oswald's wife in Irving on Nov. 22; from Oswald's room in Oak Cliff on the same day; and fi om the Paine garage on Nov. 23. Did one bullet strike the Presi- dent from the front indicating an accomplice? The number of bullets reported, their direction and damage have been matters of wide dispute., investigators are now satisfied that the first of three bullets hit the President in the back of his right shoulder, several inches be- low the collar line. That bullet lodged in his shoulder. The seconJ bulet wounded Gov. John B. Con- nally of Texas. Third Bullet The tnird bullet, according to an autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hos- pital in Maryland, ripped away a portion of the back of the Presi- aent's head on the right side Fragments from the bullets cut a wound in the President's throat and damaged the windshield of the Presidential limousine. Doctcrs at Parkland Hospit'il have explained tha early and cn- flicting reports were owing to the fact that they could not make a detailed examination of the Pies- ident's wounds. The President's body was lying face up from the time he was brought to Parkland until the time the body was removed, Dr. Malcolm O. Perry said. As a re- sult, only throat and head wounds were initially reported. Some reporters on the scene have also questioned whether shots from the rear could have produced the hole they observed in the windshield. Close examination has disclosed, however, that the dam- age was not the result of a shot fired from in front of the car. Was it possible for Oswald to shoot three times fro m the sixth floor of the depository building and run down to the second floor by the time a policeman observed him there? The entire procedure-firing the rifle, running to the second floor and then out of the building, a bus and taxi trip to Oak Cliff and a chase that ended at the Texas Theater - has been timed by the Secret Service and the FBI. So far as possible, they have duplicated conditions on the day of the assas- sination; they have allowed extra time for the crowds on Nov. 22. The reconstructions had demon- strated that Oswald had ample time for the action ascribed to him. Mrs. Oswald's Father Is Mrs. Oswald's father a Soviet Army intelligence officer in Minsk? Marina Oswald's father died when she was two years old. Her stepfather was an electrician. This report refers to her mother's brother, a lieutenant colonel, whose duties include ordering sup- plies for the Soviet Army. A check has provided no indica- tion that he is engaged in espion- age or intelligence activities. Did Mrs. Oswald know that her husband had a rifle? Yes. Mrs. Paine, a Quaker, has said that she did not know that Oswald owned the rifle and would not have permitted him to store it at her home. Mrs. Oswald knew of her husband's weapon. But Mrs. Marguerite Oswald, Oswald's mother, has said that her daughter-in-law told her on the night of Nov. 22 that the drifle that policemen showed to her did not seem to be the one she remembered her husband as own- ing. It is understood that Oswald's wife has since resolved her doubts. Until she testifies before the War- ren Commission, this point will remain clouded. Where Oswald obtained the pis- tol with which he allegedly shot Patrolman J. D. Tippit has not been established.
