Kennedy assassination
(Continued from page 1, col. 6)
frame of the Zapruder film — »here
this shot clearly occurs — the Presi-
dent’s head is unmistakeably snap­
ped with considerable energy to his
left and rear, as if hit from the right
and in front by a marksman standing
somewhere on the grassy knoll. This
head snap is so obvious on a
reasonably good print of the film
that its significance was brought to
the attention of authorities by
numerous citizens who sa» it.
While the head snap of the
Zapruder film indicated a frontal
shot, the official theory report
prepared by m ilitary doctors in
Bethesda. Maryland — after the
Parkland surgeons’ preliminary-
examination — concluded the op­
posite.
According
to
the
Bethesda doctors, whose findings
were subsequently accepted by both
the Parkland doctors and the W arren
Commission, Kennedy had been
struck by two bullets from behind.
Medical experts convened by the
House Assassination Committee, in
examining the medical evidence con­
tained in the National Archives, had
also concluded that it was incom­
patible with the theory of a frontal
wound of entrace.
Since 1964, experts in fact have
disagreed about the significance of
the head snap and have put forward
both ballistic and neuromuscular ex­
planations to reconcile a snap to the
rear with the theory of a shot from
the rear
Nonetheless, the fact that the
Commission knew of the head snap
yet never dealt with it reinforces
questions about how open-endedly it
pursued the possibility that a second
gunman was involved, shooting from
a position other than the School
Book Depository.
In general, the Warren Com­
mission’s evasiveness concerning the
case for a gunman on the grassy
knoll may well have been counter­
productive. Critics immediately
asked why many witnesses had never
been interviewed who in previous
statements had supported the grassy
knoll theory. They attacked as
misleading an Appendix to the
Report which strengthened the case
against Oswald by ruling out the
possibility of a gunman on the
railway bridge, without revealing
that most of the witnesses it cited had
actually argued in favor of a gunman
on the grassy knoll. Allegations of an
official cover-up in this area began
within months of the publication in
September 1964 o f the Warren
Report. They were strengthened as
bootleg prints of the Zapruder film
were screened, at first to college
audiences but eventually on national
television and to Congressmen and
their staffs.
Meanwile over the years
assassination researchers listened
carefully to private copies of the of­
ficial tapes of the two Dallas police
radio
channels
during
the
assassination. It was one of these
tapes on which a researcher claimed
to have detected as many as seven
shots that was forwarded to the
House Assassination Committee and
its acoustics experts. Although this
tape was eventually ruled to have no
evidentiary value, the Committee's
inquiries to the Dallas police depart­
ment resulted in the provision of
tapes and dictabelts of better quality
for analysis.
It was from acoustical analysis of
this material — analysis using simple
and straightforw ard techniques
available in 1963 — that experts now
have concluded, with 95 percent
probability, that a shot was indeed
fired from the grassy knoll.
Acceptance of this analysis may
well represent the most powerful im­
pact the science of acoustics has ever
had on human history.
(Peter Dale Scott. a professor o f
English at the University o f Califor­
nia-Berkeley, has authored or edited
numerous articles and books on
covert politics, foreign and domestic,
including m ost recently "The
Assassinations: Dallas and Beyond"
(Random House, ¡976/ and "Crime
and Cover-up" (West works, ¡977).

dent researchers on the history o f the
Kennedy assassination. /
