George Walsh said at tempts were being made to find the source of the mes sages with a minimum of pub licity, but confirmed the basic details of Prine's interview w ith a newsman. Walsh said there was no ev idence yet to ink the messages with the killer. Miss Kupcinet's body was found by friends Saturday night who found her door unlocked. She had apparently been dead since early Thursday morning, according to the coroner. The coroner's office said Mon day it appeared she had been strangled by a left-handed per son who had used such force he broke a bone in her neck. The body of the attractive daughter of Chicago newspaper columnist Irv Kupcinet was flown home Monday. She had achieved considerable success in smaller roles, mainly on tel evision.

Coverage Assailed By Walker DALLAS lUPIi Former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker praised his hometown Dallas newspapers Monday for Uieir coverage of the presidential as sassination but blasted all the rest. He said out-of-town papers made Dallas a "target of abuse." The controversial general, once the victim of an unsuccess ful assassination attempt him self, was out of town the week end President Kennedy and his accused assassin were shot. He returned to Dallas Mon day. He said tlie first he heard of a state board of inquiry into the assassination was a report in the Communist newspaper, The Worker, Nov. 26. "I did not hear about such a court of inquiry from any other news media until tlie 29th," he said. (The federal investigation, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, was announced Nov. 29 while the Texas inquiry was an nounced Nov. 26 by Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr.) Walker said the good cover age of the assassination by Dal las papers "did not extend to newspapers of other cities." "Dallas, Texas, and the na tion rebel at tlie thought of as sassination. Anyone who know ingly projects or diverts the true image of accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marxist Communist, betrays the spirit of Dallas, Texas, and the na tion's political system." Walker, who resigned his Army commission to become a champion of "pro-blue" Ameri canism and ultra-conservative causes, was fired at by a snip er last spring as he worked on his income tax at his Dallas home. He was not hit. the main majority and minority reports on the bill published several weeks ago. The seven lawmakers were: William M. McColloch, Ohio; John V. iLaindsay, N.Y.: Clark MacGregor, Minn.; Charles McC. Mathias Jr., Md.; Wil liam T. Cahill, N.J.; James E. Bromwell, Iowa, and Garner E. Shriver, Kan. Their report came as backers of the civil rights bill were try ing to force the Southern-led House Rules Committee to clear for 128 Holiday Seasons M A $ M J WW yWi & PACE-3 Stockdale Fall Listed As Suicide MIAMI (UPH - The last con versation of former U.S. am bassador to Ireland Grant Stockdale before he plunged to death from his office window Monday was about how he cried when his close friend John F. Kennedy was killed, a secre tary said. Detectives tentatively record ed the death as suicide and said Stockdale had been in almost constant despondency since the assassination of the President Nov. 22. Mrs. Mary Ruth Hauser, who works in an office across the hall from Stockdalc's on the 13th floor of a downtown build ing, said she talked with Stock dale a few minutes before he fell from the window of his of fice. "He told me he w as in his of fice when his wife called to tell him the President had been shot. He said he just got down on his knees and prayed," Mrs. Hauser said. "He said he was still on his knees when the phone started ringing w ith news that Kennedy was dead. But lie said all he could do was blubber." The secretary said it was only minutes later that she heard "this terrible thud." Stockdale fell eight stories to his death, to the roof of a five story building. Police made a preliminary ruling of suicide pending result of an autopsy and further investigation. Oswald's Mother Plans To Write 'True Facts' FORT WORTH (UPD-Mrs. Marguerite Oswald, mother of accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, said Mon day the world should know the "true facts" about herself and her son. She intends to write a book containing them. Mrs. Oswald came out of se clusion, although she is still un der police and federal guard, and gave an interview in her small duplex apartment. The 56-year-old, unemployed practical nurse said her son, himself slain by Jack Ruby in the Dallas city jail basement two days after the President was shot, "was innocent until proven guilty." "That is the American way," she said, "and he did not have tlie opportunity to defend him self." "When the true facts are Rights Plea the measure (or action.

Texans Assemble Board For Assassination Inquiry DALLAS (UPD Texas as sembled a blue ribbon panel of legal minds today for a court of inquiry into the assassina tion of President Kennedy and surrounding events. Texas Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr conferred with wounded Gov. John Connally about the investigation Monday and an nounced the names of two law yers who would help interro gate witnesses. Leon Jaworski, a Houston at torney .who was trial judge ad vocate in the Nuremburg trials following World War 11, and Dist. Atty. Henry Wade of Dal las were named to tile panel which Carr will head. Carr said the state's investi gation would open shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investi gation (FBI) files a report with President Johnson, presumably late this month. The state investigation, Carr said, would openly interrogate witnesses in the assassination, the slaying of policeman J. D. Tippit and the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. The findings will be turned over to a feder al commission appointed by President Johnson. Carr said the state investiga tion would contrast both tlie FBI's undercover work and the federal commission's considera tion because witnesses would be subpoenaed and questioned un der oath either in Dallas or at Austin, Tex., tlie state capital. The three-pronged approaches to the crimes was called an "unprecedented example of co operation between local, state and federatl government to de- known, my son will not have died in vain." She blamed federal and local officers for both the death of President Kennedy and her son. Since the Federal Bureau of Investigation knew he was a de fector, she said, tliey should have put him under surveillance during the President's visit. Oswald tried to become a Russian citizen in October, 1959, and renounce his American cit izenship. He lived in the Soviet Union nearly three years with out becoming a citizen and re turned to the United States, ap parently disillusioned, with a Russian wife. Concerning the death of her son, Mrs. Oswald said she could not understand how Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner with a police record, could get within five feet of her son when she was not permitted to see Nm. When asked if she thought her son was guilty of the assassina tion of the President, she said "I have no thought of that." Logging Mishap Fatal To Man SHERWOOD, Ore. IUPD John Bricklcy. 66. Salem, was killed in a logging accident here Monday. Bricklcy was crushed while unloading logs from a truck at Hie Bricklcy Sawmill. He op peraled the mill with his broth er. rr. unucrr ituight nviim whisut m moot "jy j termuie the facts and make them public." FBI information will be giv en the Texas court of inquiry, which will forward its findings to the federal commission head ed by Earl Warren, chief justice of tlie United States Supreme Court. Carr said he did not know if Jack Ruby would be questioned by the state court of inquiry. He said he "didn't want to in terfere" with the murder case that charges Ruby with Os wald's shooting. Tlie Texas attorney general said he planned to select anoth er attorney to aid in the state's inquiry and planned to set the time and place of the probe soon. Carr said the presidential commission would not call witnesses, but was depending on other sources for its infor mation. "It is my understanding tlie commission will take evidence assembled by the FBI and oth er agencies and evaluate this evidence and reach conclu sions," Carr said.
