DALLAS (UPD -Officials of two Dallas schools have de nied charges that students cheer ed when they heard of the death of President Kennedy and two persons who made the charges were hiding today. The Rev. William A. Holmes of Northaven Methodist Church, who made the charges on a na tional television network (CBS) moved out of his home with his wife. Police guarded the house. . The Rev. Holmes, described by associates as "highly respect ed" and "definitely no crack pot," had received several tele phone threats after he made the statement. Joanna Morgan, a young teacher at Lake Highlands Ju nior High School, also could not be reached. She was quoted as saying students at her school al so cheered when told of the as sassination. Profound Grief nan Lair, nrincioal of the Lake Highlands School, said ihera was no cheering, "only profound grief," at his school.

POLISH LEADERS DISCUSS 1964 ECONOMIC PLAN WARSAW (UPD Poland's lop Communist leaders, forced ear lier thil year to raise prices on such everyday needs as milk prod ucts and fuel, met today to discuss the nation's economic .plan for 1964. The meeting, the 14th Plenum of the Ruling Central Committee : of the Polish United Workers (Communist) Party was being held behind closed doors. No Immediate announcements were expected. Dr. Charles Baxter, assistant professor of surgery and direo tor of student health science, arrived at this time. Mrs. Ken nedy still was in the room. Bax tcr glanced at her and said "I believe you had better step out side." There were five staff menv bers hovering around Kennedy at uie time. Whenever one made an observation, the oth ers immediately agreed. Mrs. Kennedy turned to a White House aide in the com dor and said: "Call a priest." The aide relayed the message to Steve Landregan, assistant to hospital administrator C. J. Price. Landregan immediately called the nearby Holy Trinity Catholic Church. More doctors rushed to Ken nedy's side. There were 15 In all. Besides Perry, Carrico, and Baxter, there were Drs.

He said "We have always been proud of the type of stu dents in our school, and nothing has happened In recent days to change that feeling." Newsmen tried to contact Miss Morgan at the school Wed nesday afternoon and were told she had left two hours before the school closed for the Thanks giving holidays because she was "feeling very bad." Interview Refused Lair had previously refused to allow Miss Morgan to be inter viewed duing school hours and later attempts to contact her were futile. The other school involved was the University Park Elementary School, target of the Rev. Holmes' charge. Mrs. Genlvieve Cleveland, chairman of fourth grades at the school, and prin cipal H. G. Williams both difflied the charges. Williams called It a rumor and said he had no idea how it not started "Classes were dismissed at the regular time and there was no cheering," he said. He said the assassination never was announced to the children. Over-the-Counter Western Stocks nv united Preii lnternitlorat Bill Aikrd Rank America .......

Assassination Part of Plot, Castro Declares MIAMI (UPD - Cuban Pre mier Fidel Castro said Wednes day night the assassination of President Kennedy was part of "plot" by more than a single killer, and aimed partly at Cuba. Castro, In a nationwide radio and television speech monitored in Miami, also said the accused killer, Lee H. Oswald, was him self slain by nightcl'ib operator Jack Ruby "to m.'ke sure that the supposed assa3i .n would noi talk." Castro spoke for about two hours and 30 minutes. Far Right Blamed In a talk Saturday night, the Cuban leader took the line of o'Jier Communist bloc coun tries that "ultra-reactionaries" of the far right were to blame for the slaying of Kennedy in Dallas. Wednesday night, speaking at Havana University, Castro said he would "refer briefly to the assassination of the President of the United States." "Slowly being unmasked are all Ihe double-dealing and dirty maneuvers that were behind this episode which is a plot against the peace and a sinister conspiracy . . . those responsiole in (the United States) are be coming more and more de fined," said Castro. Price of Plot As part of the plot, Castro said, "the reactionaries of the United States wanted to make our country the victim of an aggression even though the as sassination of the president of their own country was the price." He did not elaborate, except to sav that the "intellectual au thors" of Ihe assassination had 'Dlans acainst peace, Cuba, the Soviet Union, humanity and the progressive and liberal sectors of the United States. . ." it will be difficult for those who are guilty to maintain themselves and this mystery in secret," Castro said.

Hunt, anesthesiology fellow; Don Curtis, oral surgery resident, and Kenneth Salyer, surgery resident. Remembered Deficiency Carrico remembered reading that Kennedy suffered adrenal deficiency and immediately ad ministered hydro-cortisone. Jones began a "cut-down on Kennedy's left arm to insert a catheter a device to force more blood into a vein and keep the passage open. Curtis com pleted the same procedure on the left leg. Lactated Ringer's solution (a crystaloid solution sometimes called white blood and used un til whole blood can be obtained) was pumped in. In seconds, a technician from the blood bank arrived with "0" negative blood (universal donor) and it was started. To feed the blood faster, hand pumps were used. fiy now, the cart had been elevated at the loot to help the blood get back to the heart. Then one of the doctors no ticed a frothing of the blood in the neck wound. "He's bubbling air," the doctor said. This means a hole in the lung. Re-Expand Lungs Peters and Baxter immediate ly inserted a tube into the right upper part of the chest, just be low the shoulder, to re-expand the lungs and keep them from collapsing. Perry and Jones at the same time inserted a simi lar tube on the left. Doctors and nurses raced In and out. Each time the operat ing room door opened, Mrs. Kennedy tried to look in. What is happening," she would ask. "How is he?" Clark, the Neurosurgeon, had run all the way from the medi cai school. He was one of the last of the team to arrive. He raced through the emergency room door not more than five minutes after the President was brought in. Clark looked down at the President. The eyes were open, staring back, sightless. "His eyes are fixed and di lated," Clark said. No Hope Any first year medical stu dent knows this means that there is no hope for the pa tient. Clark had a "torpedo" hooked up immediately to Ken nedy. This is a small machine with a scope that shows a heart beat in waves as a little green light travels from one side to an other. The green light moved straight across with a hopeless ly steady line. Clark looked up at Perry. "It's too late, Mac," he said. But Perry grabbed a stool, placed his knee on it to give him leverage and began giving Kennedy closed chest massage using his fist in a rocking, pressing motion over the breast bone to provide, if possible, a 60-70 per minute beat. He and Clark took turns. A more sensitive cardiotachy scope was brought in by Bash our. This was his machine. He specializes in cardiology. Before coming to the United States, he was head of cardiology at Bei rut, Lebanon. Electrodes from the machine were attached to Kennedy's left arm. But the green pinpoint of light on the scope did not wav er the tiniest fraction of an President Was Dead An attendant was standing by with two rods that sometimes can shock a faltering heart into beating. He put them away. The President was dead. He had been dead for minutes, probab- inch. ly before he got to the hos pital. Jenkins, monitoring the oxy gen equipment, turned the valves off. The President was dressed only in his trousers, shorts and brace, for his ailing back. Baxter got a fresh sheet. He and Jenkins tenderly pulled it across the body and up over the face. Kennedy's coat, shirt, undershirt and tie h:d been folded and put on one of the stec! shelves lining the wall. The floor was litteied with em pty bottles, bloddy bandages, boxes that had contained sterile dressings, bits of tubing. At the foot of the cart, among the lit ter, were the Pesident's shoes. A doctor picked them up and placed them with his coat. "The priest is outside," some one said. 0 H S t I Heard the Bells en Christmas Day Their eld, familiar carets play, And wild and sweet The words repeat ' Of peace on earth, goodwill to men I , , , tonsftlow THIS CHRISTMAS, GIVE THE PRECIOUS GIFT ' OF BETTER HEARING.
