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

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."

At 3:47 p.m., EST, tho wheels

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

5:59 p.m. EST.
Roberts and I stood under a
wing and watched the casket
being lowered from the rear of.

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.

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.

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.
