Dallas Principal Denies Minister's Charge That 4th Graders Cheered
DALLAS i LTD - An elemen
taiy si'hool principal Wednesday
denied nalionally televised
'CBS i charges by a local mini
ster who said fourth graders
"cheered" when Ihey heard
President Kennedy was assas
sinated. H. G. Williams said there
was no announcement about the
shooting or death of the Presi
dent In the youngsters.
He said an announcement was
read over a public address sys
tem instructing the students to
go home immediately, but not
telling them why.
Williams said (lie children
may have cheered at the an
nouncement to go home, like
normal youngsters would.
Classes were dismissed be
cause of the assassination.
Police todav guarded the
home of the Rev. William A.
Holmes, the pastor who made
the accusation. He and his wife
went to an undisclosed place
after threatening telephone
calls were received.
A fourth grade teacher who
said she understood University
Park Elementary School was
the one Rev. Holmes had in
mind, denied children there
cheered at the President's
HERALD AND XKWS, Klamath Kails. Oregon Thursday, November 28, 1963 PAGE 3C
death.
"I am chairman of fourth
grades at the school," Mrs.
Genevieve Cleveland said. "And
we had no such thing in any
of the classes."
"I was shocked and grieved
to hear such a statement," she
sail
"It is a grave injustice."
The minister was not imme
diately available for comment.
Mrs. Cleveland said the chil
dren were not told of the Presi
dent's death but some heard
about it in the corridors and
asked her if it were true.
"1 told them it was but the
reason we had not told them
was that we wanted the news
ti. come from their parents,"
Mrs. Cleveland said.
"They were sober then and, I
felt, even more serious when
they came back alter the weekend."
Rev. Holmes said the demon
stration by the children w as one
of three reasons why Dallas
should accept the blame for
President Kennedy's assassina
tion. He said the other two were
the attack and abuse of United
Nations Ambassador Adlai E.
Stevenson last month by pickets
and the jeering and shoving of
Lyndon R. Johnson and his
wile, Lady Bird, in h downtown
Dallas hotel several ears auo.
