There was little opposition
expressed in debate on the re-
solution, but Rep. B. F. Sisk
(D-Calif.) argued it could ac-
complish little.
"For God's sake, if you have
any respect for the dollars of
taxpayers, let's vote this reso-
lution down," Sisk said.
"TO ME, IT IS almost unbe-
lievable that we should be here,
close to October, even discuss-
ing this issue. People are run-
ning around, just plain witch
hunting."
A spokesperson for Downing
estimated the inquiry would
cost from $200,000 to $250,000
for the rest of the year. The
House must approve money for
the investigation separately.
Downing said it would be kent
rigorously nonpartisan, that
there would be "no witch hunts"
and no efforts to blame those
who conducted earlier investi-
gations without the benefit of
information now available.
KENNEDY'S assas-
sination was investigated by a
snecial commission headed by
the late Chief Justice Earl War-
ren. One of the members was
President Ford, then minority
leader of the House. The com-
mission reported finding no evi-
dence establishing that anyone
other than Lee Harvey Oswald
was involved.
But Downing said, "match vi-
tal information was withheld
from the Warren Commission."
He said the CIA withheld in-
formation about its involvement
in plits against Cuban Presi-
dent Fidel Castro and that the

murders of two persons he de-
scribed as Mafia figures re-
cruited by the CIA for its anti-
Castro plots remain unexplain-
ed.
"A THREATENING NOTE
by Lee Harvey Oswald to the
FI was torn up and flushed
down a toilet,' Downing said.
He said medical notes on the
:autopsy performed on Kennedy
were burned and information
about ties between Jack Ruby
and the Mafia and Cuban fac-
tions was unexplored.
Ruby killed Oswald two days
after the Kennedy assassination.
Both Downing and Fauntroy
said polls show a majority of
Americans are not satisfied
with the findings of the earlier
investigations.
FAUNTROY HAS DECLINED
to disclose the new information
he says is available on the King
assassination, but it is under-
stood to include allegations in-
vol-ing the removal of a black
noliceman and two firemen
frrm their posts in Memphis
shortly before King's death
there.
One allenion is that Edward
Redditt, a black police sergeant
who was in charge of security
for Kitig wss sent home by
Memphis Fire and Police Di-
rector Frank Ilolloman a short
ti-e before King was shot Ap-
rfil 4, 196'8 on the ground that a
threat had been made against
bis life. Another alIlegation is
ttir'r two black firemen assigned
to a fire station opposite the mo-
tel where King was shot were
transferred.

PALMDALE, Calif.-The first
space shuttle, a squat craft re-
sembling a regular airliner was
unveiled yesterday and hailed
as the forerunner of a transpor-
tation system that will take "or-
dinary" people out of this world.
The 122-foot-long shuttle or-
biter 101 is the next stage of the
U.S. space program. The craft
is described as "part spacecraft,
part launch vehicle and part
airplane."
THE ORBITER was to have
been called the Constitution.
President Ford changed the
name to "Enterprise" after a
letter-writing campaign from
fans of "Star Trek," a long-
running science fiction television
program. "Enterprise" was the
name of the television starship
dispatched i n t o intergalactic
space.
The Space Shuttle is designed
to go no farther than earth
orbit. But it will carry four
passengers in addition to its
crew.
This will enable "not just as-
tronauts and cosmonauts but all
people" to enter space, National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration head James Fletcher told
about 2,000 spectators at Rock-
well International's Space Divi-
sion plant yesterday.
SEVEN members of the "Star
rrek" series, including Leonard'
Nimoy, were at the rollout. Ari-
zona Sen. Barry Goldwater ijok-
ingly mentioned "a new kind of
astronaut - one with pointed
ears"'- a reference to the char-
acter played by Nimoy, the alien
assistant starship commander
Mr. Spock.
Initial tests of the orbiter are
scheduled for early next year
with the first space flight plan-
ned for March 1979. Unlike pre-
vious spacecraft, it is designed
to make at least 100 round trips
into space before overhaul.

SHAMPOO

A complete triumph, a sex farce that doesn't let its seriousness
stand in the way of its humor or eroticism. Rich in both dra-
matic and cinematic performance, SHAMPOO makes us laugh
and think. "SHAMPOO is the most virtuoso example of sophis-
ticated kaleidoscopic farce that American movies have ever
come up with."-Pauline Kael. "The LA DOLCE VITA of the
70's"--Judith Crist. Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn, Julie Chris-
tie, Lee Grant and Jack Warden.

LINA WERTMULLER'S 1975
LNASWEPT AWAY 1975
A rich beautiful capitalist (Mariangela Melato) is marooned on an
island with a Communist deckhand (Giancarlo Giannini). A social
comedy along the lines of male-female conflict of Bogart and Hepburn
in THE AFRICAN QUEEN but with a biting satirical edge. "By for the
lightest, most successful fusion of Miss Wertmuller's two favorite
themes-sex and politics."--Vincent Canby. In color, in Italian (with
subtitles).
