These singers are members of the large group of University Sing ers, which will be in this area on tour in March. Risinger, who originated and organized the lecture-recital se ries, gave a talk on the Uni versity Music School's curricu lum and physical make-up. He emphasized the quality of its personnel and the adequacy of the school as a higher education music facility. He noted that they are never able to graduate enough music students to fill the music teaching positions open. The series just completed was the second annual adult educa tion course brought to the Rose burg Woman's Club members. This series was attended by a number of advanced music stu dents of school age as well.

Police had urged her ts have Oswald's body exhumed and moved from Rose Hill Ceme tery, on Fort Worth's eastern edge, to protect it from ghouls ana vandals. The body, she said, will stay where it is even "if it takes all the policemen in the state of Texas to protect it." Chief Estimates Cost Fort Worth Police Chief Cato Hightower complained earlier it is costing the city $3,000 a month to keep an around the clock guard on the grave. Mrs. Oswald said she had been getting a "constant stream" of telephone calls ask- ing if she planned to move the oody. 'They have even asked if 1 planned to have the body cre mated and the ashes scat tered," she said. Mrs. Oswald, 56, met report ers at the Port Worth Press Club. She had on a black dress with checkered shawl and her white hair was drawn back in a bun. i am convinced my son js innocent," Mrs. Oswald said. Police charged hen son shot President Kennedy and then fled from the Texas School Book Depository building where! he worked. Officers contend he went to his rented room, picked up a pistol, shot policeman J.D. Tippit and finally was captured in a movie theater. Mrs. Oswald said this is what happened: "Now Lee had his job at the depository. Lee , hears three shots, so he runs, knowing he is a defector and will be picked up. So he panics, and runs, home and gets a gun to protect Himself," she said. A newsman asked. '!whv did ne stop to get a Coca Cola?" She did not reply directly, but answered, "I'm not saying this is a true story, but it could be logical." I have to face the fact he is the accused assassin," she said, 'even though I think he is in nocent." She said she had not seen her son for more than a year before Kennedy was assassinated. She said she saw him in jail. l m a practical nurse, she said. "And I do a lot of living in. I am not the type of mother children come home to. I never have been. I don't have a home for them to come and stay in when they visit me. This is a thing I want to emphasize again and again: women with children are foolish to work when they don't nave to. it is important that a mother be home when her chit dren get home." " . s- ' t HEAD HELD HIGH, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and Caroline arrive by White House limousine at the home of W. Averell Harrimon, undersecretary of state, in Washington, Friday.
