Poge 2 The Newt-Review Sot. Nov, 23, 1963 iOack coy For cittioini ESeccH??edl By Reporter EDITOR'S NOTE: Mtrriman Smith, UPI Whit Hous re porter sine 1941, was on tho cen in Dallas Friday when President Kenrwdy was assas sinated. Smith wot In tho mo torcade not far from Kenne dy when the (hooting took place. He followed the Presi dent's car to the hospital and the death. He was there for the swearing-in of President Johnson in an Air Force let and came on back to Wash ington aboard the aircraft bearing the new President and the bod,' of the slain Kennedy. He was the only news agency reporter on the aircraft. , By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI)-lt was a balmy, sunny noon as wo motored through downtown Dal- Ji.s behind President Kennedy The procession cleared the cen ter of the business district and turned into a handsome high' way that wound through what appeared to be a park. I was riding in the so-called White House press "pool car. a telephone company vehicle equipped with a mobile radio telephone. I was in the front scat between a driver from the telephone company end Mai colm Kildurff, acting White House press secretary for the President s Texas tour. Three other pool reporters were wedged into the back scat, Suddenly we heard three loud, almost painfully loud cracks. The first sounded as III it might have been a large fire cracker. But the second and third blasts were unmistakable, Gunfire. ,The President's car, possibly as much as ISO or 200 yards ahead, seemed to falter briefly. V'o saw a flurry of activity in the Secret Service follow-up car behind the Chief Executive's bubble-top limousine, Fourth In Line Next in lino was the car bparing Vice President Lyndon B, Johnson. Behind that, an other follow-up car bearing agents assigned to tho vice- presidents protection. We were behind that car. Our car stood still for prob ably only a few seconds, but it seemed liko a lifetime. One sees history explode beforo one's eyes and for even the nlost trained ousel vor, there 1b a limit to what ono can com prchend. I looked ahead at tho Presi dent's car but could not sco him or his companion, Gov. John B. Connally of Texas. Both men had been riding on tho right side of the bubble-top limousine from Washington. I thought I saw a flash of pink which would have been Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy. Everybody in our car began shorting at tho driver to pull up closer to tho President's car. IHit at this moment, we saw tho big bubble-top and a motorcycle escort roar away at high speed. Wo screamed at our driver, "get going, get going." We ca reened around the Johnson car and its escort and set out down the highway, barely able to keep in sight of tho President's car and tho accompanying Se cret Servico follow-up car. Then Saw Hospital They vanished around a curve. When wo cleared tho sumo curve wo could sco where we were heading Parkland Hospital, a largo brick struc ture to tho left of tho arterial highway. Wo skidded around a sharp left turn and spilled out of the pool car as it entered tlio hospital driveway. I ran to the side of the bub ble-top. The President was face down on the back scat. Mrs. Kenne dy made a cradle of her arms around the President's head and bent over him as If she were whispering to him. Gov1. Connally was on his hack on tho floor of tho car his head and shoulders resting in llie arms of his wife. Nellie, who kept shaking her head and shaking with dry sobs. Blood ooicd from the front of the governor's stilt. I could not sec tho President's wound. But could sec blood spattered around the Interior of the rear sea' and a dark stain sprcad ingdown tho right side of the President s dark gray suit. Radioed First Report From the telephone car, I had radioed the Dallas bureau of VP I that three shots had been fired at tho Kennedy mo torcade. Seeing the bloodv scene in the rear of the car at the hospital entrance. I knew 1 1 about 200 yards from the presi had to get to a telephone im- dential aircraft, Kilduff spotted mediately. I us and motioned fur us to bur- Clint Hill, the Secret Service ry. We trotted to him and be agent in charge of the detail said the plane could take two assigned to Mrs. Kennedy, was pool men to Washington; that leaning over into the rear of the car. "How badly was he hit Clint?" I asked. 'He's dead," Hill replied curt ly. I have no further clear mem ory of the scene in the drive way. I recall a babble of anx ious voices, tense voices Where in hell aro the stretch crs . . . get a doctor out' here .he s on the way . . .come on easy there." And from some where, nervous sobbing. I raced down a short stretch of sidewalk into a hospital cor ridor. The first thing I spotted was a small clerical office, more of a booth than an office. In side, a bespectacled man stood shuffling what appeared to be hospital forms. At a wicket much like a bank teller's cage I spotted a telephone on the shelf. "How do you get outside?" I gasped. "The President has been hurt and this is an emer gency call." "Dial nine," he srid, shoving the phone toward me. Dictated Fast Bulletin It took two tries before I sue cessfully dialed the Dallas UPI number. Quickly I dictated bulletin saying the President had been seriously, perhaps fa tally, injured by an assassin's bullets while driving through me streets or Dallas. Litters bearing the President and the governor rolled by me as I dictated, but my back was to the hallway and I didn't sec tl.cm until they were at the en trance of the emergency room about 75 or 100 feet away. I knew they had passed, how ever, from the horrified cxnres sion that suddenly spread over the face of the man behind the wicket, Outside the door of the emer gency room, I watched a swift ml confused panorama sweep before me. Kilduff of the White House press' staff raced up and down tho hall. Police captains barked at each other, clear this area Two priests hurried in behind a Cccrot Service agent, their nar row purple stoles rolled up tightly in their hands. A police lieutenant ran down the nail with a largo carton of blood for tho transfusions. A doctor camo in and said ho was responding to a call for "all neurosur geons." Civan Lost Sacrament The priests came out and said tho President had received the Last Sacrament of the Roman Catholic Churr'j. They said ho was still alive, but not con scions, Kilduff and Wayno Hawks of tho White Houso rtaff ran by me, shouting that Kilduff would mako a statement shortly in tho so-called nurses room a floor above and at the far end of the hospital. I threw down the phone and sped after them. We reached the door of tho conference room and there were loud cries of "Qulctl" Fighting to keep his emotions under control, Kilduff said "President John Fitzgerald Kennedy died at approximately ono o'clock." I raced into a nearby office. Tho telephone switchboard at the hospital was hopelessly jammed. I spotted Virginia Pay ette, wifo of UPI's Southwestern Division manager and a veter an reporter in her own right. I told her to try getting through on pay telephones on the floor abovo. Frustrated by the inability to get through tho hospital switch- hoard, I appealed to a nurse, Sho led me through a maze of corridors and back stairways to another floor and a lrnc pay booth. I got tho Dallas office. Virginia had gotten through be fore me. Selected for Pool I rar back through the hospi tal to the conference room where Jiggs Fauvcr of the White House transportation staff grabbed me and said Kilduff wanted a pool of threo men im mediately to fly back to Wash ington on Air Force One, the presidential aircraft. "Ho wants you downstairs, and he wants you right now," Fauvcr said. Charles Huberts of Newsweek magazine, Sid Davis of West inghouso broadcasting and I Implored a police officer to take us to the airport In his squad car. As we plied out of the car Johnson was about to take the oath of office aboard the plane and would take off immediately thereafter. I saw a bank of telephone booths beside the runway and asked if I had time to advise my news service. He said, "but for God's sake, hurry.' Then began another telephone nightmare. The Dallas office rang busy. I tried calling Wash ington. All circuits were busy, Then I called the New York bureau of UPI and told them about the impending installa tion of a new President aboard the airplane. Aboard Air Force One on which I had mado so many trips as a press association re porter covering President Ken nedy, all of tho shades of the larger main cabin were drawn and the interior was hot and dimly lighted. Kilduff propelled us to the President's suite. Room Was Crowded I wedged inside the door and began counting. There were 27 pcoplo in this compartment, Johnson stood in the center with his wife, Lady Bird. U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes, 67, a kindly faced woman stood witli a small black Bible in her hands, wait ing to give the oath. Mrs. Kennedy, who was com posing herself in a small bed room in the rear of the plane, appeared alone, dressed in the same pink wool suit she had worn in the morning when she a p p o a re d so happy shaking hands with airport crowds at tho side of her husband, Sho was white-faced but dry eyed. Friendly hands stretched toward her as she stumbled slightly. Johnson took both of her hands in his and motioned her to his left side. Lady Bird stood on his right, a fixed half- smile showing the tension Johnson nodded . to Judge Hughes, an old friend of his family and a Kennedy appointee. 'Hold up your right hand and repeat after me," the woman jurist said to Johnson. Outsido a let could be heard droning into a landing. Takes Solemn Oath Judge Hughes held out the Bible and Johnson covered it with his large left hand. His right arm went slowly into tho air and the jurist began to in tone the constitutional oath, "I do solemnly swear I will faith fully executo tho offico of Pres ident of tho United States. . ." Tho brief ceremony ended when Johnson in a deep, firm voice, repeated after tho judge, . .and so help mo God." Johnson turned first to his wife, hugged her about the shoulders and kissed her on the cheek. Then he turned to Ken nedy's widow, put his left arm around her and kissed her check. As others in the group some Texas Democratic House mem bers, members of the Johnson and Kennedy staffs moved to ward the new President, he seemed to bnck away from any expression of felicitation. The two minute ceremony concluded at 3:38 p.m., EST and seconds later, tho President said firmly, "Now, let's get airborne." Col. James Swindal, pilot of the plane, a big gleaming silver nnrt lilna fnn.inr nt nn (hit efnt. board engines immediately.

Swindal roared the big ship up to an unusually high cruising altitude of 41,000 feet where at 625 miles an hour. ground tow sonal assistant; Kenneth P, O'Donnell, appointments secre tary and key political adviser; Lawrence O B.-ien, chief Ken nedy liaison man with Congress and Brig. Gen. Godfrey Mc- Hugh, Kennedy's Air . Force aide. Makes First Statement As the flight progressed, John son came up to the table where Roberts and I were trying to re cord the history we had just witnessed. "I'm going to make a short stateent in a few minutes and give you copies of it," he said. "Then when I get on the ground I II do it over again." It was the first public utter ance of the new Chief Execu tive, brief and moving: "This is a sad time for all people. We have suffered a loss that cannot be weighed. For me it is a deep personal tragedy. I know the world shares the sor row that Mrs. Kennedy and her family bear. I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help and God's." When the plane was about 45 minutes from Washington, the new President got on a special radio-telephone and placed a call to Mrs. Rose Kennedy, the late President s mother. "I wish to God there was something I could do," he told her, "I just wanted you to know that." Then Mrs. Johnson wanted to talk to the elder Mrs. Kennedy Gives Love And Prayers "We feel like the heart has been cut out of us," Mrs. John son said. She broke down for a moment and began to sob, Recovering in a few seconds, she added, "cur love and our prayers are with you." Thirty minutes out of Wash ington, Johnson put in a call for Nellie Connally, wife of the seriously wounded Texas governor. The new President said to the governor's wife: , "We are praying for you. darling, and I know that every thing is going to be all right. isn't it? Give him a hug and a kiss for me. It was dark when Air Force Ono began to skim over the lights .of the Washington area The plane touched down at 5:59 p.m. EST. Roberts and I stood under a wing and watched the casket being lowered from the rear of. the plane and borne by a com plement of armed forces body bearers into a waiting hearse. V'c watched Mrs. Kennedy and the President s brother, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, climb into the hearse beside the cof fin. Roberts and I were given seats on another 'copter bound for tho White House lawn. In the compartment next to ours in ono of the large chairs be side a window sat Theodore C. Sorenscn, one of Kennedy's closest associates with the title of special counsel to the Presi dent. Ho had not gone to Texas with his chief but had come to the air base for his return. Sorenscn sat wilted in the largo chair, crying softly. The dignity of his deep grief seemed to sum up all of the tragedy and sadness of the pre vious six hours. As our helicopter circled in the balmy darkness for a land ing on tho White Houso south lawn, it seemed incredible that only six hours before, John Fitzgerald Kennedy had been a vibrant, smiling, waving and ictivo man. Toll Is High In Tragic Ohio Blaze NORWALK (UPI) Sixty five elderly men and women perished in a rural rest home fire today in the worst fire in this country since 95 persons died in a Chicago school fire in 1958. ' State Fire Marshal Fred Rice said there were 86 residents and three employes in the Golden Age Nursing Home 10 miles from here and "65 didn't get out." Rice, after an on-the-spot in spection with Gov. James A. Rhodes, confirmed that three employes and only 21 of the elderly residents, many of them invalids, escaped from the one story building which quickly became an inferno as winds whipped through the structure. The tragedy was the second disastrous rest home fire in the United States this week. On Monday, 26 elderly persons diedi in a fire at the Surfside Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J., a resort hotel used as a convalescent home in the off-season. School Firs Worse The Chicago school fire on Doc. 1, 1958, claimed 95 lives. The tragedy, however, was far from the worst in Ohio's his tory, three fires each having claimed more than 100 lives. A fire at the Ohio Penitentiary on April 21, 1930, killed 320. "This is the most devastating thing I havd ever seen," the governor said as he looked at! the smouldering ruins which disclosed i n occasional charred skull and piece of human flesh. Rhodes ordered all assistance at the state's command made available and 'then flew to Washington to join other offi cials in paying their respects; to the slain President Kennedy this afternoon. Rhodes ordered a complete investigation of the tragedy by the Highway Patrol under Capt. A. B. Cook. I rrw tW& vvr r , m.IH III ' , 3?: 4 SENATOR SPEAKS Sen. Walter Pearson of Portland told members of the Western Oregon Livestock Association Friday that state basic school support should be cut. He "is shown above with two other tax panelists, George J. Ann ala of Portland, left, and Loren J. Smith of Corvallis, center. (News-Review photo) Patrolman Left Wife, 3 Young; No Insurance DALLAS (UPI) The other man killed by gunfire in Dallas Friday was a city policeman who left a wife and three chil drenand no life insurance. ' He was Patroltan J.D. Tippitt, 39, an 11-year veteran of the force. He was shot and killed trying to apprehend the man accused of assassinating Presi dent Kennedy. A spokesman said Dallas po lice are not covered by a city insurance policy, but Mrs. Tip pitt will receive some money from the police retirement fund The dead policeman's children arc Charles Allen 13, Brenda Kay 10, and Curtiss Glenn 4. Sales Tax Not Complete Answer To State Problem The sales tax isn't the pan acaea many people think it might be in solving the state's money problems. This was the conclusion drawn by two tax experts in a Western Oregon Livestock As sociation convention in Rose burg Friday. But the association decided it would help any way, so it drafted a resolution favoring a sales tax. The resolution called for in vocation of the tax as an off set to property and income tax es. The experts were Sen. Walter Pearson of Portland and George Annala, manager of Oregon Tax Research. Pearson insisted that one of the answers was to cut back on the basic school sup port fund and change the struc ture of control of it. Annala felt that closer con trol over state expenditures de served consideration before a sales tax is adopted. The third member of the panel, Loren J. Smith, chairman of a Benton County Agriculture Tax Com mittee, however, left the con clusion that a sales tax was good to more equitably distri bute taxation. In other action during the con vention, Myron Harper of Sa lem was elected president. His city will host next year s con vention. Other officers elected were Bob Reed of Warrenton, vice president; Al Oliver, Cor vallis, treasurer; and Dean Frischknecht, secretary. DC Demo Head Says All U.S. Suffers Loss The Fullerton IV PTA will hold its regular meeting at the school Monday at 7:30 p.m. Ac cording to Mrs. Gene Rushton, publicity chairman, many im portant items of business arc on- the agenda and all patrons are urged to attend Reports on the recent PTA rummage s a committee take care Dr. Jason Boe of Reedsport, chairman of the Douglas Coun ty Democratic Central Commit tee, urged each citizen to re flect deeply during this period of mourning for the President. Tins is not a time for hasty and heedless recriminations and expressions of hostility;" he said. "In the death of the Pres ident, every American, regard less of his political beliefs or concepts, regardless of his po litical principles or policies, has suffered a tragic loss." "President Kennedy's death, however, need not, must not and will not represent the death of democracy," he said. "The danger in this moment lies in our not rising above our own feelings of loss and frustration. "This is tlie time that wo the people must rise above our pot ty grievances and firmly grasp the basic principals of democ racy. 'Ve cannot allow the as sassin s deed to prevail. The free world will not then be free, Fear must not replace reason. Tiller Man Jailed For Firing Pistol A 39-year-old Tiller man was arrested by Roseburg city police Friday afternoon on a charge of discharging firearms in the city limits. , Police said Jack Harry Lehn lierr of Tiller was lodged in the city jail after he was arrested following a complaint of a gun being fired in a vehicle at a drive in restaurant on W. Har vard Boulevard. Police said Lehnherr told thorn the gun, a .22 caliber automatic, had gone off accidently, hit the jockey box of the vehicle and had gone out through the floorboards. Ralph Ellison Reynolds, 27, of 1297 W. Ellen St., Roseburg, who was also in the vehicle when police arrived, was ar rested on a charge of being drunk in a public place.

Verl Dean Tandy. 33, of Wald-iM tTBB Film SilOWMa Mrs. Workman Interjects Lighter Note At Session In what could have forgivably been a "flag at half mast" speech in the light of the trag ic news of President Kennedy's death Friday, renowned Scotts burg author Gladys Workman rose to the occasion and inter jected briefly a brighter note into the day of some 65 wom en attending a luncheon in con nection with the convention of the Western Oregon Livestock Association. The luncheon, a special event for wives of association mem bers, and their guests, was held at noon Friday in the In dian Room of the Umpqua Ho tel. Mrs. Marion Krebs was mistress of ceremonies. Dates Mixed Up Mrs. Workman flew from Los Angeles especially for the occasion. She began a half hour speech by telling the story of how she "almost didn't get here." In what has become known as typical "Workman" style, she told how she wouldn't have been here at all if she had re membered "who to call to say she wasn't coming." Enlarging on this incident Mrs. Workman said she had, as usual, accord ing to her account, gotten her dates mixed and was planning to arrive here to give her speech on Nov. 24. A last-min ute reminder by her tour man ager forced her to catch a plane in such a hurry she left a "special new dress" hanging in the closet of a Los Angeles hotel. Mrs. Workman was sched uled to return to Los Angeles to continue a speaking tour immediately. Developing a theme picked from one of her anecdotes, she said it was a good idea never to go to bed at night without hav ing made at least ono person happy during the day. What fol lowed was a demonstration of how a highly-developed sense ol the ridiculous can draw amus ing happenings into the life ol a much-demanded speaker in her travels from coast to coast. Mrs. Workman as revealed in her stories, has blazed a trail of fun from New York to Cali fornia.' Pancakes Removed In closing, she told a storv from her latest book about a man involved with others in a collision with a garbage truck and, because of pancakes plas tered over h,is eyes, thought he was Diina and Degged to be "let die." "Take the pancakes off your eyes," Mrs. Workman said "and learn to see the funny side of things." Organ music during the luncheon hour was furnished by Mrs. Ray Hill. Introduced also from the speaker's table was Mrs. Vi Golden of Klamath Falls, president of the Cow Belles, auxiliary to the Oregon Cattlemen's Association. Mrs. Krebs, Mrs. Phil Strad er and Mrs. Howard Hatfield were in charge of arrangements for the luncheon and entertain ment for the women attending the convention. Connolly Making Good Recovery DALLAS (UPI)-Tcxas Gov. John Connally, out of danger and recovering satisfactorily from an assassin's bullet, learned from his wife today that his personal friend. President Kennedy, was killed. "It was in the back of his mind" all the time, the gover nor said. His administrative assistant, Bill Stinson, said the assassina tion had been kept from' him until today. "It was pretty well resolved in his own mind that the Presi dent was dead," -Stinson said. Connally remained conscious after the shooting until placed under heavy sedation. He roused slightly Friday night, but did not frame the question. He asked it today, bis first question on waking. President Johnson called this morning to check on the governor's condition. It was satisfactory doctors said, and ho rested well during the night. "All vital signs are good," a spokesman suid. Connally, Kennedy's Navy sec retary before he resigned to run for governor last year, was riding with Kennedy when the bullets struck. Klamath Falls Man Held On Murder Count KLAMATH FALLS (UPI) -Eugene Beicrle, 48, was being held on a charge of first de gree murder at the city jail here today.
