Assassination Investigators Due To Receive FBI Evidence Date Set For Pope Paul's Historic Holy Land Visit WASHINGTON (UPI) The special commission investigat ing the assassination of Presi dent Kennedy may get its first important piece of evidence before the weekend the FBI report on the slaying. Extension Agents Called Teachers Douglas County Agent J. D Vertrees told the Douglas Coun ty Farm Bureau Federation at its meeting this week that ac tually extension agents in his department are all members of the teaching staff at Oregon State University. He said their purpose is to disseminate education of sub jects developed at Oregon State. One of the strongest subjects is agriculture. He was the featured speakerl at the meeting at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. The meet- ing was preceded by the an nual turkey dinner for mem bers and guests. Reports were given by the delegates who attended the state Farm Bureau convention in Salem. At that convention, Mrs. Blaine Johnson of Azalea was elected state women s chairman and will be the rep resentative at the. National As sembly in Chicago Dec. 10. Also during the meeting, Alda Brumbach, county women's chairman outlined the cligibil ity for the annual 'dairy prin cess contest, and L. R. Oeum paugh, growth committee chair man, stressed the importance of bringing membership up to quota. He said each new mem ber will receive a metal sign for his driveway.' The seven-member panel headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, met for more than two hours Thursday behind closed doors and under heavy guard. It is scheduled to meet again this afternoon. After Thursday's session, Warren called in newsmen and read a brief statement saying the commission had discussed the organization and future plans but had reached no con clusions. He Said that no infor mation had been received as yet from any government source. But after the meeting it was learned that the FBI had turned in its formal report on the as sassination to Deputy Atty. Gen. Nicholas D. Katzenbach, Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy's top aide. The report is expected to be forwarded to President Johnson soon, and the Warren commis sion may receive it before the weekend. Sources say the FBI has concluded that the man ac cused of the President's mur-i der, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone and not as part of a con spiracy. The commission, which must also investigate the circum stances surrounding Oswald's murder, may take months to complete Us report. Sources say the panel s members are acute ly aware that any report they make could compromise Dallas night club owner Jack Ruby's chances for a fair trial. Ruby is charged with killing Oswald. Warren said the commission would ask Congress for the power of subpoena. The bipartisan board of in quiry is expected to have no trouble getting subpoena powers. Sen. Kenneth B. Keat ing, R-N.Y., introduced a bill Wednesday to grant such au thority "to compel the produc tion of live testimony and doc umentary evidence." A similar bill has been introduced in the House by Rep. Louis C. Wy-1 man, R-N.H. Nicholas J. DeMarsh Private funeral services for Nicholas J.

Court Martial Board Hears Testimony EVREUX, France (UPI) A 10-man court martial board re convened today to hear more testimony about the death of an American airman killed in fight involving Negro and white servicemen. The victim, Airman I.C. Rob ert Padgett, 23, of Woodlawn Va., was white. He died of a fractured skull Sept. 6 follow ing the brawl in an Air .Force barracks at the U.S. base near here. Thursday a string1 of wit nesscs testified they heard shouts of "dirty nigger" and other insults during the fight in which Padgett and four of his buddies were beaten up. The other airmen were not serious ly injured. On trial on charges of unpre meditated murder were two tie grocs, PFC. Raymond C. Bost Jr. of Pittsburgh and PFC. Rob ert Burrell of Philadelphia Four other defendants, includ ing one white, will be tried on the same charges at a later date. Attorneys for the two Negroes have contended that racial in sults precipitated the fight. Air Force official?, however, have called the incident merely a drunken barracks brawl. In Thursday's testimony, sev eral witnesses said they saw a group of Negro soldiers the et timates ranged from six to a dozen or more raid, the air men's barracks. The witnesses said the raid ers carried iron bars and sticks but none testified they actually saw Padgett being hit. Airman 2.C John Delzenero of Fall River, Mass., told the court he saw Bost and Burrell among the soldiers who raided the barracks. Delzenero was beaten during the fight. Delzenero said Bost "looked like a mad dog" and was shout ing that someone had called him names. The trial, in which Bost and Burrell face possible maximum sentences of lffe in prison if they are convicted, may end this weekend, The Pope also may pay a brief visit to Lebanon during the peace pilgrimage, Vatican sources said. Commenting on cn invitation from the Lebanese government. the sources said the pontiff! probably would want to accept. If he does, they added, the visit probably will be restricted to a brief stop at the Beirut airport. Lebanon is the most heavily Catholic country in the Middle bast, with an estimated 42 per cent of the population believed to belong to that faith. Vatican sources today ex pressed gratification over the welcome the world has given to tne plans for the trio announced by the Pope as he closed the second session of the ecumeni cal council on Wednesday. 'The worldwide response is really heartening," one source said today. But the Vatican maintained a tactful silence to. suggestions that the Pope step into tne israeli-Arab dispute. The Holy Land, where Christ and Christianity were born, is now divided between Israel and the Arab state of Jordan. Today's official announcement of the dates of the Pontiff's visit did not include the stops on his "peace pilgrimage." But Pope Paul said he would go to pray where Christ was born, lived, died, and was rcsur reeled. The Lebanese Arab newspa per Al Shaab said the Pope's visit "must be the occasion for destroying the foundations of Is rael. But Vatican sources have em phasized (hat tho visit will seek to ease rather than heighten po litical tensions in the area. Vatican officials were caught by surprise when the Pope made his announcement Wednesday at the closing 1963 session of the Ecumenical coun cil. It will be tho first trip abroad by a Pope since 1812 and the first time sinco the days of St Peter nearly 2,000 years ago that a Pope has been in the holy land.

Eugene Iva nov set off Britain's sex scan dal, had pleaded guilty to a charge of perjury and one count of obstructing justice. Her pleas and the sentence came on the second day of her trial for lying about the beating she received last April. She had said Negro jazz singer Aloysius (Lucky) Gordon, one of her boyfriends, had beaten her. Her roommate and house keeper said the same thing, and Gordon went to jail. But tho new evidence freed him and she was indicted. At today's proceedings her roommate, Paula Hamilton Marshall, was sentenced to six montlls for perjury and thrco months . for conspiracy to ob struct justice with both terms also to run concurrently. Mrs. Olive B r o o k e r, the- housekeeper, was conditionally discharged. - Last April, Miss Kceler was beaten in the apartment she shared with Miss Hamilton- Marshall and Mrs. Brooker, 56. Both entered similar guilty pleas today.
