Death News Because Plot ; WASHINGTON DPI - Fear that President Kennedy's assas sination might be part of "worldwide conspiracy" to kill all officials in line for the presi dency prompted President Johnson to order news of Ken nedy's death withheld for a timo. Assistant Whit House Press Secretary Malcolm KUduff said in a radio interview Monday that Johnson ordered word of Kennedy's death withheld at least until he could leave Dal las' Parkland Hospital Nov. 22. Kilduff quoted Johnson as saying there was no way of telling whether the death of Kennedy was the beginning of a chain of assassination at tempts aimed at himself and the next two men in line for the presidency. Speaker John W. MoCormack, IKMass., and Senate President Pro Tempore Carl Hayden. R-Ariz. As a security precaution against this threat, Johnson felt that he should get back to the presidential plane "Air Force One" at Dallas' Love Field be fore the news of Kennedy's death was rcleated, Kilduff said. Quotes Johnson He quoted Johnson as saying, "we don't know whether this is a worldwide conspiracy, wheth er they are after me as well as they were after President Kennedy, or whether tlwy are after Speaker .McCormack, or Sen. Hayden." Kilduff caid that when John son first learned of Kennedy's death, the new President's thoughts turned to the circum stances surrounding the assas sination of Abraliam Lincoln 98 years before. On the night Lincoln wias shot by Jolin WUkes Booth, other assassins broke into the home of Secretary of State William H. Seward and wounded him severely, but failed in an at tempt to kill him. The conspira tor assigned to kill Vice Presi dent Andrew Johnson lost his nerve and fied. At that time, Seward was next in line of suc cession to the presidency after Johnson. Kilduff said that when John son was discussing the possibil ity of an assassination conspir acy he mentioned the attempt on Seward's life.

Li w I ! I $f 11 THE MOST! Withheld Feared cial White House spokesman on the trip to Dallas, he asked Johnson for permission to re lease the news that Kennedy was dead. "No," Johnson told him, "I think we had better wait for a few minutes. . .and I think 1 had better get out of here and get back to the plane before you announce it." A Secret Service guard was assembled and Johnson was es corted to a waiting car for the trip to the airport. Before the car left, Kilduff said he told Johnson lie was going to make the announcement as soon as the new President left. Kilduff said that once John son's car pulled away he ran back into the hospital and told newsmen that Kennedy was dead. In line with John son's security order, however, he 6a id he refused to discuss the new President's "where abouts or destination." ' Kilduff said that Jolinson did not need any time to consider his decision to withhold the news of Kennedy's death. He termed Johnson's answer "im mediate."
