I UPI) Ambulance Driver At Hospital Recalls JFK (Editor's note Ambulance driver Aubrey Rike, 25. and his partner, Dennis McGuire, had just delivered an emer gency p a t i e n t to Parkland Hospital in Dallas when Presi dent Kennedy, an assassin's bullet through his brain, was rushed into the hospital. This ii bis story.) By AUBREY RIKE As told to United Press International DALLAS (UPI) - We had just brought our patient in and were at the emergency desk at the hospital when these two men came in. One was carrying briefcase and the other a big rifle. It looked like a machine gun to me. The one with the briefcase yelled, 'We need some stretchers right now. The one with the gun Aldous Huxley, Famed Novelist, Dies of Cancer HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-Aldous Huxley, whose satirical novel Brave New World assured him literary immortality, died Friday of cancer. He was 69. Private funeral services were held this morning in Los An geles. Death came to the novel ist at his home in the Holly wood hills. Huxley was noted primarily as a philosophical novelist. In his more than 20 books, he used characters largely to rep resent far-ranging ideas in his fiction works. The satirical classic, "Brave New World," published in 1932, envisioned a world of babies mass produced in laboratories, brain-washed slave workers and vision-inducing drugs. Huxley predicted later that his imaginary world would be come a frightening reality in less than 200 years. I envisaged industrial regi mentation occurring much far ther in the future," he said ear lier in predicting a mechanized society within 600 years. "But now, with sleep teaching, brain washing, hypnosis and condi tioned reflex experiments, we are close to a rigid caste sys tem where people are trained for only one function. me next great revolution, Huxley predicted, would be led by scientists and medical men. He said future society would exist without poverty but also without love, freedom and thought. He was the son of Leonard Huxley and grandson of biolo gist Thomas Huxley, credited with popularizing t h e evolu tionary theories of Charles Dar win. He was the brother of biologist-writer Julian Huxley and grandnephew of poet-essayist Matthew Arnold. Huxley was born In .Goldalm- Ing, Surrey, England, on July 1894. A serious eve disease that nearly blinded him at the age of 17 shattered his olans to become a physician. In 1937, Huxley's eyesight be gan failing rapidly again and he moved to California near a specialist who practiced a unique method of visual re-education. The physician halted further loss of Huxlev's eye sight. In the past few vcars hefnre his death, Huxley had to resort to using a masnifyine l ass when he worked on his 40-year-old typewriter. A friend of the author said Huxley was saddened by the loss of papers and manuscripts in a brush fire that sweot his hillside home several years ago. me incna quoted Hux cv as saying, "I can understand full well what scholars felt like when the library at Alexandria was destroyed." Other books by Huxley includ- Dennis the 3 5 kfjh j fo.THiShirUN! Until my AVw walks in. MEDKORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, said, 'All right, everybody clear out of here.' They made us move our pa tient, and then I got behind the desk. I looked up and the first man I saw coming in was Vice Presi dent Johnson. From the way he was walking and because he was so pale, I thought he had suffered another heart attack. They brought in Governor (John) Connally. I recognized his face.

There was too much blood for a stabbing and it was too localized for an auto accident. Then they wheeled in this stretcher with a man's body on it.

That's when the call came over the loudspeaker for us to report Im mediately to our ambulance. We rushed back to the ambu lance and there was a man in a suit and carrying a gun there with a Dallas policeman. They told us to stay with the ambu lance,, not to leave and not to talk to anyone. ' They said we might be need ed to rush a patient to another hospital. After a while Mr. (Vernon) ONeal funeral home owner) drove up in a hearse with a casket. We took the casket into the room where the President's body was. He was covered with a sheet. We waited while priests prayed and gave the last rites or something. Then Mrs. Ken nedy came in. She looked at us and smiled. and started pulling on her ring finger. After a minute, she went across, lifted the sheet and put the ring on his fineer. She was crying. when she left, we picked up the President's body, put it in the casket and closed the lid. Then we started out. Someone stopped us and told us not to leave yet. We went back to the room. ' Then they came and told us to go. When we got about half way across the emergency room, a priest stopped us, put a cross on the casket and prayed. We took the casket to the hearse and loaded it in on one side. We let down the seat on the other side so Mrs. Kennedy could ride with the body. She smnea again and thanked us. She never did break down then. When we closed the hearse. the Secret Servicemen took over. They drove it to the air port. We got it back there after the airplane left. it was hard. We nicked ud the body and I kept thinking 'this is the President.' The feel ing was the same one I get when we have to pick up some little child that has been hurt or killed, or maybe a relative. I never cried, but I had to choke back the tears. Dennis was about the same way. He's quiet anyway, but this time he didn t nave anything to say. Now I'm sorry I live in Dallas. I was born and raised here, but now I'm ashamed. Hoy 0ri tt - ':- hvunr.h Renicli oak all dtmsntleni XuLa' farmtra Kxchantto UK W Main, Xtrm. O. PR or fltnftll FirtRWOOLV JiiT.jred, m rick. fr I'.B.

IT( i;n Lw mm 1 iMiifu Lincoln Proclaimed Thanksgiving Day A Century By PETER J. CRONIN United Press International PLYMOUTH, Mass, (UPI) -Disease and famine plagued the Plymouth colony that chill au tumn nearly three and a half centuries ago, but a new and better day appeared to be dawn ing and it seemed appropriate to pause and say thanks to God. At that first thanksgiving, a three-day Dutch treat cookout, the 48 surviving pilgrims said thanks for the meagerest of blessings the means to sus tain life. Their example of faith and thankfulness may seem al most incredible to Christians of the present day, 342 years later. For the most part Americans will sit down next Thursday be fore generous platters of turkey to reflect on their general abun dance. ' , It was exactly 100 years ago, in 1863, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving holiday and es tablished the last Thursday of November as the time of the observance. Before 1863, Thanks giving was celebrated on dif ferent dates in tne various states, spread across eight months. Cries Of Outrage ' In 1939. President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved up Thanksgiv ing to the third Thursday, giv ing rise to cries of outrage from traditionalists who continued to FBI Seals Off : All Principals DALLAS (UPI) - All princi pals connected in any way with the assassination of President Kennedy were sealed off by the FBI Saturday.

Day For Feasting The 48 pilgrims indeed had cause for giving thanks, and, according to Dr. Gleason L. Ar cher, former counselor-general of the. Society of Mayflower Descendants, Gov. Bradford set aside a day for prayer and feasting. In their exuberance, the Pil. grims invited Indian Chief Mas sasoit to participate in the cele bration.
