Walker said Thursday Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of as sassinating President Kennedy, was slain "to erase a Marxist Communist conspiracy." Walker told newsmen "many things" led him to his opinion about why Oswald died. But Walker, to support his claim, would point out only that Oswald was about three blocks from the home of nightclub op erator Jack Ruby minutes after the assassination. Ruby shot Os wald to death two days after Kennedy was killed. Walker, who was relieved of his division command in Ger many because of alleged politi cal indoctrination of troops, said he thought it was Oswald who fired a shot at him through the window of his Dallas home ear lier this year. Impossible To Tell An FBI report given to Dallas police concluded it was ballisti cally impossible to tell if the same rifle was used to fire at Walker and the President. "What it says is that the bul let could or could not have been fired from the same rifle," Dal las Detective Chief M. W. Stev enson said Thursday night. "In other words, it's inconclusive." The bullet fired into Walker's home was badly distorted, hav ing smashed through a window frame and into a wall. It was reported that Oswald's widow, Marina, told federal of ficers that her husband boasted to her that he was the sniper who fired on Walker.

Main its attention was given lo state laws and practices restricting j the right to register and vote, i "Many election laws and ad-' ministrative practices are un reasonable, unfair and outmod ed," it said. "They obstruct the path to the ballot box, disfran chising millions who want to vote. "An unexpected business trip or a broken ankle can deprive a citizen of his right to vote. He may lose his vote by mov ing across the street. And he may discover that because he failed to vote two years ago he cannot vote now. j The commission cited figures showing heavier voter turnouts! in other countries. It said state, turnouts in the United States' ranged from 25.5 per cent of the civilian population of voting age : in Mississippi to 80.8 in Idaho : in the 1960 election. It said the most obvious way to combat voter apathy was through Uie register-and-vote campaigns conducted by politi cal parties and by civic, busi ness, labor and other groups. But it also urged the press, ra dio and television to assume re sponsibility and said these me dia "hold the key to adult edu cation." The report also criticized schools for "not doing the job." "The teaching of citizenship times substituted for realistic in our elementary and second- instruction in government and ary schools needs a major over- politics. . . haul," it said.
