TO: Honorable Carr Waggoner, Attomey General, State of Texas
Complicity of Lyndon B. Johnson in the Murdors of John F. Konnedy and Lee Howard Oswald
As a postscript to my letter of November 26th concerning investigation of these two murders, I suge
gost a careful scrutiny of the complisity of Mr. Lyndon Johnson, now acting as President, in those crimos,
within the area of my conclusion that these murdors were plotted by Vatican-Jesuit Forces. I offer the
following additional Factors bearing on the situation:
1) Lyndon B. Johnson was a co-conppirator with Kennedy and the forces of the Vatican In the Fraudulent
election of 1960, and is equally guilty with Kennedy For every crime committed. He accepted without
protest, the Pope's soditious orders that all Roman Catholics vote for Kennedy; engaged In every political
froud which brought Kennedy to power; was responsible For the mamonoth Frauds perpetrated in Texas by
his own political machine; made the "pligrimage to Canossa" to yield allegiance to the Pope, Involidat-
ing his oath to the Constitution; and after Kennedy's Inauguration became a willing accessory to every
executive crima. Kennody's inauguration being Fraudulent, and by adhering toenemies of the United
States, troason, Johnson's Inauguration was identical, and he is no more a legal President than would
have been the lowliest "wino" snatched from Skid Row and hastily sween in as President.
2) Johnson's purpose to continue the seditious policies of Kennedy was made plain In his address to Con-
gross: his adherence to the Kennedy policies In Viet Nam, involving the murder of Buddhist monks, and
the subsequent murders of Diem and Nhu, all under the inspiration of the CIA; adherence to support of
the Wall Street "Shark" which has bankrupted the United States, in its raids against the "Sardines" of
Latin America, under the guise of an already aborted Alliance For Prograss; reliance on H-bomb diplo-
macy as the ultimate International Instrument; piedge of loyalty to the United Nations, controlled by
nations enemies of our Constitution, but not one word spoken of loyalty to the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights ( In the Kennady precedent in his Inaugural) talking out of both sides of his mouth, a very
gom of Josuitical double-talk, undoubtedly written by a Jesuit.
3) Johnson's coockodile tears over the murder of Kennady, but not one word of responsible executive
purpose to uncover every hidden criminal who helped plot the assassinations, prefering - like the police
of Dallas - to announce by silence that the record of Oswald is now closed and I repeat, # Like Hell
it Isl".
4) As a long-time Texas politician, acquainted with every political outlaw, and having access to all
Facts or rumors prior to assassinations, and more surely subsequent thereto, remaining mute though the
world sbudders at the open knowledge of murder of Oswald to cover for the real criminals, indicating
clearly that Johnson possesses guilty knowledge, or is himself a particpant In the crims. Had anenoth-
Ing to conceal no would, himself, have taken the initiative for Full investigation.
5) In any murder a compelling question Is: "Who had the coost to gain?". The obvious answer Is
Lyndon B. Johnson, for all his tearful regrets.
6) Participating In the Four days of vulgar Vatican bally-hoo, turning a fraud and criminal Into a
saint, squetzing every ounce of political and clerical advantage out of the cadaver of the dead Kennedy,
as had been done during life, Including the exploitation of his entire family.
7) Undoubtadly prepared to accept Robert Kennedy as vice-presidential candidate for the 1964 elec-
tions, as already hintod, to permit the Pope to play both ends against the middle: accession of John
Mc Cormack If Johnson dies ( as was predicted along with Kennedy) or Robert Kennedy If Johnson
lives, to keep a Fobt In the crack of the door to perpetuate the fallen Kennedy dynasty.
8) Were the communists Involved in these murder s, Johnson and the Vatican would have exploded
thoir full propaganda against the USSR. The Fact that they have remained mute indicates that they real-
Tzo their own Involvement, know where the dodies are buried, and rely upon the sdultious, faisifying,
mobster press controlled by the Vatican and Wall Street, to cover their crimes.
In view of the above I demand that Johnson be questioned under oath, and his actions supflicaxed
the sama thorough Invastigation demanded of other suspects. The Constitution cannot be defended otherwise.

would have been glad to do if afforded the privilego 02 opportunity
to do 1t. The only thing wrong with what he did was that it was too

He should have been slowly tortured to death for XXX taking the life
of our great President, John F. Kennedy and thus leaving his most
gracious and attractive wife without a husband and his two omall
children without a father much less the fact that our American
Nation has lost its duly elected leader.
If this nation lives for a thousand years or longer the IXI
City of Dallas, Texas and each and everyone of its rocidents will
live forever under the stigmas of infamy, UNLESS Mr. Jack Rubonstein
is allowed to go scott free of killing Oswald. If you through your
Prosecuting Attorney demand any stiff penalty or even death in the
electric chair for Mr. Rubenstein, it will only make millions of
Americans wonder if your Dallas Police Force and Courts condone and
abet the actions of a vicious and ruthless killer such as Oswald who
not only kálled our beloved President but one of your own beloved
policemen. In fact if Mr. Rubenstein were in need of funds for use
in his defense, I would gladly contribute towards it and I am certain
many other Americans would also.
Heres, sincerely hoping that the great City of Dallac, Texas will
go on record before the entire world and let everyone know that the
entire citizenry is enraged at the cowardly act of Lee Harvey Oswald,
and eliminate any stigma from its environs for the assassination of
President Kennedy; by finding some legal way to free Mr. Jack
Rubenstein from any serious charges including the death penalty for
the slaying of a ruthless monster such as Lee Harvey Oswald.
The name of Mr. Jack Rubenstein will forever live in tho memory
of myself, my wife and children as a most oqurageous and a very brave
American.
I would greatly appreciate it if a copy of this letter could be
forwarded to the relatives of or to Jack Rubenstein himsolf to let
him know what a goodly number of us feel towards him for his great
act of heroism.
Very truly yours,
C. E. Parsons
This is not a orank letter. I have been a strict Law abiding

Sir:
The undersigned Officer was assigned, along with two
United States Secret Service Agents, at the JAMES HERBERT
MARTIN residence, 11611 Farrar, for security purposes on
December 21, 1963. Mrs. MARINA CSWALD is presently living at
this address. The following report, regarding occurances
during this tour of duty, is submitted for your information.
At 10:40 a. m. Mrs RUTH PAYNE. aka MRS MICHAEL R.
PAYNE, was observed at the front door. Mr. MARTIN was told
by Secret Service Agents that Mrs PAYNE had been informed
that she would not be permitted to see Mrs. OSWALD. Mrs.
OSWALD went to the back of the house and remained out of
sight while Mrs PAYNE was there. Mr. MARTIN opened the front
door and Mrs. PAYNE entered without being invited into the
house. She brought some packages which she stated were for
the MARTIN children and a package which had come to her
address through the mail for Mrs. OSWALD. Mrs OSWALD'S
package was given to Secret Service Agents after she left
for examination but the packages for the MARTIN children
were not checked. Mrs PAYNE stated that she wanted to get
aquainted with Mr. MARTIN, he reminded her that he had come
to her house in Irving and picked up Mrs OSWALD'S possessions.

confidential source that approximately two weeks prior to the assassination
of President of the United States John F. Kennedy, SUBJECT made application

Mr. Morrow stated that approximately six or seven days prior to the
assassination of the President of the United States John Fitzgerald Kennedy
SUBJECT came to the parking lot asking for a job. Mr. Morrow stated that
while talking to him about the job, SUBJECT asked him how high the parking
lot building was and if it afforded a good view of Dallas. Mr. Morrow stated
that at the time SUBJECT was applying for employment he was dressed in a
dirty white T shirt and blue jeans, and was carrying a newspaper, and that
it was during the early morning hours. Mr. Morrow stated that the last time
he saw SUBJECT he was waiting to talk with Mr. Claude Hallmark another one
of the managers. Mr. Morrow states that the reason he remembers SUBJECT so
well is that he wrote SUBJECT'S name down, and that he thought the name was
Osburn, but that when he called SUBJECT Mr. Osburn, SUBJECT corrected him
and told him that the name was Oswald. Mr. Morrow related that two of the
employees also observed SUBJECT while he was at the parking lot. These
employees are: Frmett Montgomery, C/M and Charlie Dabbs, C/M. Emmett
Montgomery is still employed at the parking lot, but Charlie Dabbs is no
longer there. Mr. Morrow did not know the residence addresses of these
two employees and the personel files were not available at the time of this
interview.

Dear Chief:
I have received a request from Mr. J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel
for the President's Commission on the assassination of President
Kennedy, who makes a request in behalf of the Commission for infor-
mation from Texas as follows:
il It would be helpful to the work of this Commission if you
would obtain from the Cities of Fort Worth and Dallas,
for the Commission's review, copies of any documents it
has in its files relating to Lee Harvey Oswald. We are
particularly interested in obtaining Oswald's educational
files. In this connection, we are informed that Oswald
attended the following Texas schools: Riglio Elementary
School, Fort Worth, 1947 to 1952; Ridge West Elementary
School, Fort Worth; Arlington Heights Elementary School,
Fort Worth; Arlington Heights High School, Fort Worth,
September 5, 1956 to September 28, 1956; and Crozier
Tech High School, Dallas, January 14, 1963 to April 8,
1963.
In addition, the Commission would like to review any re-
lated psychiatric reports, any records maintained by the
Fort Worth or Dallas Police Departments and any other
information in any State or local agency's possession
which would assist the Commission in learning as much
as possible about the background of Oswald.
The Commission of course realizes the confidential char-
acter of much, if not all, of this information and hastens
to assure you that it and the members of its staff will be
accordingly governed in its use.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. 11

to eat. This was the last time I saw Oswald."
"During the Presidential parade, I was standing by
a window on the lower floor at the front of the building
watching the cars pass when I heard this shot. It shook the
window and I moved away from the window and looked at the
clock. It was exactly 12:25 P. M.. Some more shots were
fired @ I destinctly heard three shots in all. Some one said
they were coming from the railroad tracks, I said no they
are coming from the top of the building".
"I did not see Oswald leave the building. Oswald was
very quiet and had nothing to say much to the other em-

THE ASSASSINATION
n November 21, 1963, President and Mrs. Kennedy and Vice President and Mrs. Johnson,
accompanied by Governor and Mrs. Connally and other Texas political figures, aides, and mem-
bers of the press, began a tour of Texas.
Governor Connally had opposed the Texas tour, thinking it politically unwise." The Demo-
crat Party in Texas was in great turmoil, torn by internal dissension. A recent special election
had revealed astonishing Republican Party strength in Dallas. Factions and personalities of the
Democrat Party, jockeying for position and prestige, were blaming each other because Texans
generally seemed to be in a mood to repudiate new frontierism at the polls in the next elections.
Neither the growing strength of conservatism nor the factional strife among liberals in the
Democrat Party created any special danger for the President in Texas. There was no extraordi-
nary anxiety about his safety, but Governor Connally did feel that a Kennedy visit at this time
would create more and deeper cleavages in the ranks of the Democrat Party.
President Kennedy, however, decided to come to Texas as a "peacemaker" for his own politi-
cal party.
The tour began in San Antonio. The crowds were large, friendly and orderly. It was the same
in Houston and in Fort Worth. The presidential entourage arrived at Love Field, Dallas, at 11:37
a.m., Friday, November 22, greeted by a large, friendly gathering of Dallasites. The President and
the Governor, and their wives, got into an open limousine for a parade through Dallas. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kennedy sat in the rear seat, the President on the right side. On jump seats in front
of them were Governor and Mrs. Connally, the Governor directly in front of the President.
The motorcade formed with the presidential car immediately behind the lead car, the Vice
President and other dignitaries and members of the press following. It made a 12-mile drive in-
to and through downtown Dallas, along a route which had been widely publicized for days -

as a maid in a home for people whom she believed to have had an

EXHING
TRANSFER:
Certificate of High School Credits
From: Warron Easton High School of New Orleans, Louiciana,
September 18, 1956.
Principle H. To Garland.
September, 1954 to June 1955 - - - Beauregard.
September 8, 1955 to October 10, (1956), corrected to 1955.
To:
Arlington Heights Senior High School, 4501 W. Rosedale,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Note: The above date of October 10, 1956 on the transfer from New
Orleans must be incorrect as Lee Oswald transferred to, and
attended school in Fort Worth, Texas -- Arlington Heights
High School -- in September, 1956, and left the same month
to go into service of the U. S. Marine Corps. Therefore,
he could not have attended school in New Orleans in October,
1956. This would be after he had already transferred to
Fort worth. To further substantiate this correction, note
that the dates on the transfer are September 8, 1955 tc
October 10, 1956. This would be thirteen months and two days,
when a school year 1s only nine months. Therefore, it is
believed that the correct date on the transfer should be
October 10, 1955, instead of 1956.

Sir:
The following report is submitted for your information.
On December 11, 1963, this officer received information
from a confidential source that a friend of the source had
been to a coffee shop and a mechanic at that location had
stated that LEE HARVEY OSWALD had been driving JACK RUBY'S
automobile for approximately two months and that he (the
mechanic) knew this because OSWALD had brought RUBY'S car
to his garage for repairs. The source did not know the lo-
cation of the coffe shop and did not want her name used.
Source also stated she would not give the name of the friend
who had heard the mechanic making the statement, unless it
was absolutely necessary. A report (Int. 2965-11) was made
on this information because it was felt a possibility existed
of locating the mechanic or garage thru bills and receipts
confiscated from the vehicle of JACK RUBY. When photostatic
copies of the contents of RUBY'S vehicle were received by
this office, they were searched with negative results in
regards to mechanical work.
Detective F.A. Hellinghausen was later sent to contact
the original source and was given the name of SUBJECT and
his place of employment, the SUBJECT being the person source
had received the information from. SUBJECT could add only
the information that the COFFEE HOUSE DRIVE IN was the name
of the cafe where SUBJECT heard the mechanic make statemnt
listed above, and the description of the mechanic as being
a short white male wearing greasy blue work clothes. Detec-
tive Hellinghausen then went to the COFFEE HOUSE DRIVE IN,
5060 W. Lovers Lane, and found that this place had gone out
of business during the latter part of December, 1963 or the
early part of January, 1964.

cident but he could not add any additional information to

The Joesten Report
The Truth About the Ascassination
of President John F. Konnedy
Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin of President Kennedy.
He did not kill Patrolman Tippit either. Oswald was wrongfully accused
and "convicted" on both counts in the worst judicial frameup in history.
All the charges against him were trumped up. Material evidence was doctored,
faked, or insofar as it would have favored the accused, suppressed. Wit-
nesses were intimidated or hushed up. In some cases, statements which
they had never made were put into their mouths by the police. And then the
defenceless accused was railroaded to death.
These are the basic findings of a painstaking private inves-
tigation which I undertook early in December 1963, on the spot in Dallas,
on behalf of a leading German magazine. Since then, I have written a book
of about 100, 000 words on the case which sets forth in detail why Oswald
could not possibly have murdered President Kennedy or the policeman. The
book will first be published in Paris (probably in May or June of this
year), later also in Germany and Britain, among other countries.
My investigation also brought out, beyond a shadow of doubt,
that Oswald never was a genuine Communist. His "marxism" was nothing but
a pose, his propaganda for Castro a sham, his "defection" to Russia a flim-
BY cover for an intelligence assignment, which he bungled. Oswald went to
the Soviet Union as an agent for the C.I.A., was found out and neutrali-
zed at Minsk where he worked practically as a slave laborer. Upon his re-
turn to this country, he became a stool-pigeon and agent provocateur for
the F.B.I. on whose instructions he set up his phony "Fair Play for Cuba
Committee" in New Orleans. At the same time, he was being trained for
another intelligence mission, this time to Cuba, which he botched again.
This double failure as a secret agent made Oswald "expen-
dable" in the eyes of his employers. And when some of the intelligence
figures who had manipulated Oswald joined the conspiracy to assassinate
President Kennedy, they arranged for him to be sacrificed as the most con-
venient scapegoat.
Oswald, demonstrably innocent of both the killings that
have been attributed to him, was not a victim of judicial error. The way
his case was handled by the Dallas police and district attorney excludes
any possibility of an innocent mistake having been made by overzealous
or inept prosecutors. The Dallas police chiefs and District Attorney Henry
M. Wade knowingly and deliberately framed this innocent man because they
thomselves were in league with the real assassins of President Kennedy.
They callously sacrificed Oswald in order to shield the real perpetra-
tors of "the crime of the century."
These are not "wild charges. The shocking fact that Os-
wald's accusers were themselves implicated in the plot to assassinate the
President of the United States is brought out in my book and in the present
report in minute, carefully documented detail.
Expect no solid grains of truth from the Warren Commission.
Its performance to date clearly shows that the mandate it has received from
President Johnson is not to uncover, but to hush up the true facts about
the assassination,

The Joesten Report
From all present indications, the Varren Report will be nothing
but a glorified coverup heaped on top of the F.B.I.'s shoddy coverup for
the crimes committed by the Dallas police.
Why, it may be asked, should President Johnson wish to keep the
lid on the true circumstances of his predecessor's death? Legitimate as
this question my sound, it is in fact a bit naive. Who put Lyndon Johnson
in the White House? Not the ballots of the American people. The bullets
of a powerful gang of fellow-Texans did.
I do nót 8 uggost that Johnson personally instigated the plot or
that he actively took part in it. At this stage of my inquiry, I do not
think that he was in any way directly involved. But he is the beneficiary
of a crime conceived and executed by the power elite of his home state,
Texas.
Thanks to the Bobby Baker scandal, Johnson was on his way out of
the White House, when the Texas gang forcefully put him back with a few
well-placed shots. Other factors that contributed to the decision to kill
Kennedy were the resentment of the big oil interests of Texas at the late
President's tax reform proposals; the wrath of the Cuban adventurers in-
side and outside the C.I.A. at Kennedy's moderation in the matter; the
hate of fanatical segregationists of the Beckwith and General Walker stripe.
The John Birch Society, rehearsing a factual version of "Seven Days in May.!
The assassination of President Kennedy was more than "the crime
of the century. 11 The way it has been presented to the American people -
the most gullible on earth -constitutes the most monstruous fraud ever
perpetrated by officialdom and connived at by a supine, cowardly press.
It Was the most blatant attempt to fool all the people all the time this
country has ever witnessed. so far it has achieved complete success. Histo-
rically, the perfect crime was committed on November 22, 1963.
The present report, which for the first time spells out the
whole, awesome truth about the assassination, will not make glaring head-
lines. It is not likely ever to see the light 4a in this country - as a
printed book. But it will make its way, I am sure, onto some library shel-
ves where scholars of the future, endeavoring to shed some light on 20th
century obscurantism, then will find the source material which the powers
that-be and the controlled news media of 1963-64 strove desperately to
withold from the public.
I am not writing this for the general public which has been 80 -
curely lulled into uncritical acceptance of the preposterous Oswald Hoax.
My report is destined for the few discerning and independent minds who
have sensed all along that something was terribly wrong in the official
version but who had no way of getting at the facts. More power to these
earnest truth-seekers!
Notice to the Assassins: You can kill me, too, but you can no longer stop.
the truth. Every fact that will be brought out in the present report, every
name that will figure in it, every hidden aspect uncovered therein, is al-
ready contained in my 320-page book manuscript due to be published in Paris
soon. Numerous copies of it have been placed in safe hands throughout
Europe. Anything that may happen to mo will only enhance the worlwide re-
percussions of my expose.
P.S. Libel suits will be particularly welcome.

The Joesten Report
The Truth About the Assassination
of President John F.Kennedy
As publication of this report in book form appears unlikely
in the United States in the foreseeable future (at any rate during
the Johnson règime), it will be made available to a select group of
American readors in the form of a limited mimeographed edition. It
is to be published in successive instalments in the spring and summer
of 1964, with some possible additions later.
This 100,000 to 150,000-word report will be divided into
three main parts as follows:
Part I - The Frameup of Lee H. Oswald (in three volumes)
Part II - Oswald, Secret Agent ( two volumes )
Part III - Why Kennedy Had to Die (two or three volumes)
In view of the tremendous amount of work involved in the
preparation, writing and mimeographing of this report and the cem-
paratively small number of copies that can be produced and sold in
this non-commercial operation - I prefer, for obvious reasons, not
to rely on any outside help - I an compelled to charge a fairly high
price. Each volume will be priced at #10 a copy. Accordingly, Part I
will cost $30 a copy, Part II $ 20 a copy and 80 forth.
However, in order to make acquisition of this documentary
possible to as many public and college libraries as may care to give
their clientele an opportunity to scan the uncensored facts about
the assassination, a special library rate amounting to a 40% discount
will be available to them. This discount will not be available to
any government agency.
All orders should be addressed directly to the author and
publisher, at his legal residence, as follows: Joachim Joesten,
87-70 173rd Street, Jamaica 32, New York City (Phone: OL 8-3105).
Publication of "The Frameup Af Lee H. Oswald" is expected
to take place in late April or early May, 1964. The three volumes of
this part of the work will aggregate. about 50,000 words. Tentative
chapter headings: (1) That Self-Betraying Detour; (2) "Ambush Buil-
ding Chosen with Care"; (3) Image of Texas Justice: Prosecutor H.M.
Wade; (4) Trial by Television; (5) Presumption of Guilt; (6) The Sae

Mrs. Tippitt:
I know that you have received many letters since the death of your husband, but I
know that you probably have not received one like mine, since in spite of your country's
being the most advanced in the world in all respects, it is at the same time the most
backward in learning how God operates. You may say that what will be will be, but I will
attempt to clearly explain.
With the assassination of the beloved and immovable President Kennedy your husband
was also assassinated by the presumed assassin of the president. Have you not stopped
to think that it's a little strange that, since practically all the police were concentrated in
the place where the president would pass, and then finding your husband in a spot that he
evidently considered likely for the suspect to pass (that is, if in those few moments,
they had given a description of the suspect) and he immediately went to the Tenth St.
to apprehend him, and being alone in the patrol car, apparently against a regulation
requiring two patrolmen in each car. How did it happen that he was in it by himself
(instead of giving him a medal for merit, he should have been chastised for not
following regulations)?
You cannot find the explanation of what would have happened if someone else had been
with him, and perhaps he would not be dead at this moment. Would you like me to
give you a different version from that created by infantile and juvenile minds of your
nation? Perhaps your husband wanted to go alone (the thing that I cannot explain is
how he managed to be alone), since he was being paid to take into custody, which at
that time and hour was to be taken out of the country, for example to Mexico, for
which they would give him a large sum of money (all the money that they sent to you
by those who think that your husband was a great man would burn my hands.) If they had sear
reason to believe this, he would indeed be a supurb policeman. But your husband, upon
learning by radio what had happened did not want to be implicated in such a terrible
situation such as aiding and removing from the scene the assassinof the president and
for that reason when Oswald arrived first, they entered into conversation (just like the
lady that saw them said) and when your husband told him that he was not going to take
him anywhere, but instead was going to turn him over to the authorities, this is when
your husband was shot and killed 80 that your husband could not inform on Oswald.
Well, Oswald killed him, but also for money, since this did not bother his conscience
at all, because as the saying goes in my country, "for money, the dog will dance".
And for the same reason Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, thinking that the important
man or societies behind him would get him out one way or another, even though the
courts would delcare him innocent for reason of insanity, the same insanity that
Oswal'd had to kill the president since the insanity would bring the luxury of money
since their intelligence in any other field would not make them rich in the right way.
It is 80 easy to gain wealth with a little luck and a very little work in your country,
aided by your cours and government. Don't believe that I do not have compassion for
your unhappiness. Here in Spain there is a saying that goes 'Discount whatever you
don't want to believe". But if everything is true th has been said since November
22 of that immortal month we * are going to have to change that saying and say "I
do not believe anything that the Americans say since they believe that if they are told
that a burro will fly, they will believe it and it does not seem strange to me DEXED
your country that burros will fly."
DATEU-27-64
Mr.
Mra. Tippitt - P

The police of Dallas and especially the chief of police who allows the assassin of
your president to be killed saying that everything was all over. With the police
of this country, they would have to have given all of the protection of that city.
The day following the death of the president, they could have told the truth, but not
the truth that everyone would have liked to have heard, and they would have had the
suspect well protected not at the mercy of what happened to him by Ruby, since the
police took so few precautions to such an important suspect as this one who killed
the president. It appears to me that they allowed this to happen for fear that all the
people would know what was behind it since they certainly would have all been in it
up to their necks for their part in it, even though they say otherwise.
And if the Americans of the United States believe that the rest of the world are going
to believe this story about the famous "city without law and if what you have there is
law that jpermits everyone to come in this area armed and without searching them
it is no better than a jungle, and since the world seems to believe this, then they will
also believe that I am the president in Washington.
But let us return to our previous subject. Let us suppose that your husband was a
very honorable and able policeman aware of his duty, the best in the the country,
which is supposing a great deal. Don't swell yourself up with pride for all the letters
and donations you have received because of the death of your husband. Think of
what would have happened if this would have happened by some juvenile that happens
all the time in his profession. He would still be just as dead and you would not
have received one letter except for close friends and family and from the bossess
of your husband. Actually, all that you have received is not because of any great
act by your husband except that it happened more or less at the time of the confusion
at the time of the assassination which was the most tragic and cruel that has ever
occurred in history. For the same reason, all that you have received is out of
sentiment of the hearts of Americans for the dead president, since that could not
send it to the president's wife because she has inherited a great deal from her husband and
they sent this to you instead. Well, Mrs. Tippitt, if you have read this entirely, this
is enough.
Affectionately yours,
Maria Luisa Marin

SUBJECT stated that he met LEE HARVEY and MARINA OSWALD at

nied GEORGE de MOHRENSCHILDT and MR. and MRS. JOHN HALL to the OSWALD
address. Shortly after this meeting, the OSWALDS came to Dallas.
LEE HARVEY stayed at the YMCA while looking for a job, and MARINA
lived with SUBJECT and his wife, ALEXANDRIA, the daughter of de MOHREN-
SCHILDT for two or three weeks. SUBJECT and ALEXANDRIA were divorced
a few months after this and he has since remarried.
SUBJECT said that MARINA left his home approximately the first

on Elsbeth in Dallas. During his association with them, SUBJECT lived
at 3519 Fairmount, Apt. 12.
SUBJECT stated he visited the OSWALDS on Elsbeth several times.
The last time he saw LEE HARVEY was during the latter part of 1962 and
MARINA in July, 1963. He said that OSWALD mistreated MARINA and gave
the appearance of being a weak type of individual. He was dissatisfied
with the world and seemed to feel that it owed him something.

WHO IS DAN SMOOT?
Born in Missouri, reared in Texas, Dan Smoot went to SMU in Dallas, getting BA and MA degrees in 1938 and
1940. In 1941, he joined the faculty at Harvard as a Teaching Fellow in English, doing graduate work for a doctorate
in American Civilization.
In 1942, he left Harvard and joined the FBI. As an FBI Agent, be worked for three and a half years on communist
investigations in the industrial Midwest; two years as an administrative assistant to J. Edgar Hoover on FBI headquar-
ters staff in Washington; and almost four years on general FBI cases in various parts of the nation.
In 1951, Smoot resigned from the FBI and helped start Facts Forum. On Facts Forum radio and television
programs, Smoot spoke to a national audience, giving both sides of controversial issues.
In July, 1955, he resigned and started his present independent publishing and broadcasting business — a free-
enterprise operation financed entirely by profits from sales: sales of The Dan Smoot Report, a weekly magazine;
and sales of a weekly news-analysis broadcast, to business firms, for use on radio and television as an advertising vehicle.
The Report and the broadcast give only one side in presenting documented truth about important issues — the side
that uses the American Constitution as a yardstick. The Report is available by subscription; and the broadcasts are
available for commercial sponsorship, anywhere in the United States.
If you think Dan Smoot is providing effective tools for Americans fighting socialism and communism, you can
help immensely — by helping him get more customers for his Report and broadcasts. WAO

WHAT YOU CAN DO
Washington officialdom uses your taxes for programs that are creating vast cesspools of waste and corruption
- and dragging our Republic into the quicksands of socialism. What can you do about it?
You can help educate and arouse the people who elect men responsible for harmful programs of government.
When enough other Americans know and care as you do, political action to restore our Republic will come.
If The Dan Smoot Report was instrumental in bringing you to the point of asking what you can do about

DAN SMOOT
A STRANGER IN THEIR MIDST
P resident John F. Kennedy was murdered by a communist in Dallas. Dallasites, both lib-
eral and conservative, were more completely thunderstruck by the crime than any other people in
the world, because many were actual eyewitnesses; all had a feeling of closeness to the deed. Yet,
all over the world, Dallasites were accused of hate-mongering fanaticism, of having molded the
twisted mind of Lee Harvey Oswald, a stranger in their midst.
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 18, 1939. His father died
before he was born. His mother works as a practical nurse.¹
A part of his boyhood was spent in Fort Worth, Texas, where he went to public schools. In
1953, he and his mother moved to New York. Oswald attended a junior high school in the Bronx
for a few weeks. He was arrested for truancy and given a psychiatric examination. Psychiatrists
recommended that he be committed, saying he was a potentially dangerous schizophrenic. He was
not committed. He and his mother also lived briefly in North Dakota.
Oswald said he became interested in marxism when he was 15, after reading a pamphlet about
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (American communists, executed as spies).
In 1956, at the age of 17, Oswald enrolled as a freshman in Arlington Heights High School,
Fort Worth. He dropped out after 23 days, and joined the Marine Corps. In boot camp, he
qualified as sharpshooter on the rifle range; but he never adjusted to life in the Marines, as he
never adjusted to life anywhere else. He was forever in trouble. He served in the Philippines and
in Japan as a radar operator, with the rank of Private First Class. He was twice court-martialed
while in Japan: the first time for carrying an unregistered pistol; the second time, for swearing at
a non-commissioned officer.

WHO IS DAN SMOOT?
Born in Missouri, reared in Texas, Dan Smoot went to SMU in Dallas, getting BA and MA degrees in 1938 and
1940. In 1941, he joined the faculty at Harvard as a Teaching Fellow in English, doing graduate work for a doctorate
in American Civilization.
In 1942, he left Harvard and joined the FBI. As an FBI Agent, he worked for three and a half years on communist
investigations in the industrial Midwest; two years on FBI headquarters staff in Washington; and almost four years
on general FBI cases in various parts of the nation.
In 1951, Smoot resigned from the FBI and helped start Facts Forum. On Facts Forum radio and television pro-
grams, Smoot spoke to a national audience, giving both sides of controversial issues.
In July, 1955, he resigned and started his present independent publishing and broadcasting business a free-
enterprise operation financed entirely by profits from sales: sales of The Dan Smoot Report, a weekly magazine;
and sales of a weekly news-analysis broadcast, to business firms, for use on radio and television as an advertising ve-
hicle. The Report and the broadcast give only one side in presenting documented truth about important issues the
side that uses the American Constitution as a yardstick. The Report is available by subscription; and the broadcasts
are available for commercial sponsorship, anywhere in the United States.
If you think Dan Smoot is providing effective tools for Americans fighting socialism and communism, you can
help immensely - by helping him get more customers for his Report and broadcasts.

SUMMARY
Lee Harvey Oswald attended school in the Fort Worth Public School
District beginning in the First Grade, January 27, 1947, and com-
pleted the Sixth Grade, May 29, 1952. Reference is made to Ex-
hibits #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6, (copies of School Records).
After this time, nothing can bo found in the filos or records of
this School District until September, 1956. A Transfer Certifi-
cate of High School Credits was received by the Arlington Heights
Senior High School from New Orleans Public High Schools, reference
to Exhibit #7, (Copy of Transfer), at which time Lee Harvey Oswald
made application for registration at the Arlington Heights High
School, reference to Exhibit #8, (Copy of Application for Regis-
tration). Loe Harvey Oswald was classified by the Fort Worth
High School Department in Class 10 at this time, dated August 30,
1956, reference to Exhibit #9, (Copy of Classification Card). Lee
Oswald attended Arlington Heights High School, Date Entered: Sep-
tember 5, 1956, to Date Withdrawn: September 28, 1956, Reason:
Marines. (Due to his short attendance of only a few days -- approxi-
mately 18 school days -- at this time he did not receive any credits.)
Reference 1s made to Exhibit #10, (Copy of Permanent High School
Record.) From the date withdrawn, September 28, 1956, from Arling-
ton Heights High School, no other record is available of Lee Harvey

Johnson in the Murdors of John F. Konnedy and Lee Howard Oswald\nAs a postscript to my letter of November 26th concerning investigation of these two murders, I suge\ngost a careful scrutiny of the complisity of Mr. Lyndon Johnson, now acting as President, in those crimos,\nwithin the area of my conclusion that these murdors were plotted by Vatican-Jesuit Forces. I offer the\nfollowing additional Factors bearing on the situation:\n1) Lyndon B. Johnson was a co-conppirator with Kennedy and the forces of the Vatican In the Fraudulent\nelection of 1960, and is equally guilty with Kennedy For every crime committed. He accepted without\nprotest, the Pope's soditious orders that all Roman Catholics vote for Kennedy; engaged In every political\nfroud which brought Kennedy to power; was responsible For the mamonoth Frauds perpetrated in Texas by\nhis own political machine; made the \"pligrimage to Canossa\" to yield allegiance to the Pope, Involidat-\ning his oath to the Constitution; and after Kennedy's Inauguration became a willing accessory to every\nexecutive crima. Kennody's inauguration being Fraudulent, and by adhering toenemies of the United\nStates, troason, Johnson's Inauguration was identical, and he is no more a legal President than would\nhave been the lowliest \"wino\" snatched from Skid Row and hastily sween in as President.\n2) Johnson's purpose to continue the seditious policies of Kennedy was made plain In his address to Con-\ngross: his adherence to the Kennedy policies In Viet Nam, involving the murder of Buddhist monks, and\nthe subsequent murders of Diem and Nhu, all under the inspiration of the CIA; adherence to support of\nthe Wall Street \"Shark\" which has bankrupted the United States, in its raids against the \"Sardines\" of\nLatin America, under the guise of an already aborted Alliance For Prograss; reliance on H-bomb diplo-\nmacy as the ultimate International Instrument; piedge of loyalty to the United Nations, controlled by\nnations enemies of our Constitution, but not one word spoken of loyalty to the Constitution and the Bill\nof Rights ( In the Kennady precedent in his Inaugural) talking out of both sides of his mouth, a very\ngom of Josuitical double-talk, undoubtedly written by a Jesuit.\n3) Johnson's coockodile tears over the murder of Kennady, but not one word of responsible executive\npurpose to uncover every hidden criminal who helped plot the assassinations, prefering - like the police\nof Dallas - to announce by silence that the record of Oswald is now closed and I repeat, # Like Hell\nit Isl\".\n4) As a long-time Texas politician, acquainted with every political outlaw, and having access to all\nFacts or rumors prior to assassinations, and more surely subsequent thereto, remaining mute though the\nworld sbudders at the open knowledge of murder of Oswald to cover for the real criminals, indicating\nclearly that Johnson possesses guilty knowledge, or is himself a particpant In the crims. Had anenoth-\nIng to conceal no would, himself, have taken the initiative for Full investigation.\n5) In any murder a compelling question Is: \"Who had the coost to gain?\". The obvious answer Is\nLyndon B. Johnson, for all his tearful regrets.\n6) Participating In the Four days of vulgar Vatican bally-hoo, turning a fraud and criminal Into a\nsaint, squetzing every ounce of political and clerical advantage out of the cadaver of the dead Kennedy,\nas had been done during life, Including the exploitation of his entire family.\n7) Undoubtadly prepared to accept Robert Kennedy as vice-presidential candidate for the 1964 elec-\ntions, as already hintod, to permit the Pope to play both ends against the middle: accession of John\nMc Cormack If Johnson dies ( as was predicted along with Kennedy) or Robert Kennedy If Johnson\nlives, to keep a Fobt In the crack of the door to perpetuate the fallen Kennedy dynasty.\n8) Were the communists Involved in these murder s, Johnson and the Vatican would have exploded\nthoir full propaganda against the USSR. The Fact that they have remained mute indicates that they real-\nTzo their own Involvement, know where the dodies are buried, and rely upon the sdultious, faisifying,\nmobster press controlled by the Vatican and Wall Street, to cover their crimes.\nIn view of the above I demand that Johnson be questioned under oath, and his actions supflicaxed\nthe sama thorough Invastigation demanded of other suspects. The Constitution cannot be defended otherwise.\nBy chuthority OF The Constitution or The United States:\nDATE 12-9-4\nINT2965-6\nINITIALS\nS\nHerbert c.

May God forgive these men for their hatred of\nThe President of the United States has just been shot.\" Within\npatriotic Americans who wish nothing more than to save\na matter of a few minutes the Captain announced: \"The Presi-\nthis country for our children's sake.\ndent of the United States, John Kennedy, has just died.\"\nThen, out of the shock and disbelief, a terrible fear grip-\nThe shock of this terrifying announcement paralyzed ev-\nped my heart. Within one hour after the President had been\neryone aboard the airplane, as it did millions and millions of\nshot in broad daylight on a Dallas street, anti-communists had\nother Americans in the same moment. Utter disbelief was\nalready been accused of the crime, without a shred of evi-\nwritten on every face. My first thought, like that of everyone,\ndencel My mind went back to the books I had read on the\nwas \"Who? Why?

As\ncancelled the Marathon, contacted our Public Relations De-\nan anti-communist leader, I know only too well the vicious-\nness of \"managed news\" and global thought-control. I knew\npartment in Tulsa to cancel the tour, and made arrangements\nthat even the THOUGHT of this dastardly deed's having been\nto return to Tulsa yet that afternoon. After prayer in my hotel\nroom, I made these decisions.\ncommitted by even a so-called anti-communist could be used\nas a psychological front to suppress all freedom of speech, and\nThen, I turned on the television set and sat transfixed be-\nto take our country into an absolute dictatorship.\nDATE\n12-10-64\nfore it, hearing and seeing the awful happenings in Dallas,\nand their aftermath. I was numb with shock.\nFrom the terrible insults and abuse which I\nally suffered the last two years at the hands of the left wing\nBut not for long. I switched the TV set to another channel,\npress, it was frightening to imagine what these men would\nthe local NBC affiliate, and the first thing I heard was Bill\ndo if they could brainwash the public into believing that this\nRyan of NBC-TV News, blaming the conservatives of Dallas\nheinous crime was a product of the right-wing. I thought of\nINT2965-7\nthe thousands of people line myself who had dedicated them-\nthrough a hate campaign directed at The by the liberals and\nselves to protecting \"due process of law\" and to preserving our\nleft-wing element, and having seen the degree to which they\nConstitutional concepts, and how this long labor, and its pen-\nwill go to destroy anyone who stands in their way, my heart\nalty of personal abuse and misunderstanding, would be in vain\ntold me that their hatred knew no limitation and their ven-\nif the American public accepted this lie before the true facts\ngeance knows no bounds.\nwere known, It would begin a witch hunt that would exceed\nall similar actions in history.\nI know - and you know-that no true conservative in\nthe United States would stoop to taking the law into his own\nThese thoughts brought me out of my state of shock, and\nhands.

A recent special election\nhad revealed astonishing Republican Party strength in Dallas. Factions and personalities of the\nDemocrat Party, jockeying for position and prestige, were blaming each other because Texans\ngenerally seemed to be in a mood to repudiate new frontierism at the polls in the next elections.\nNeither the growing strength of conservatism nor the factional strife among liberals in the\nDemocrat Party created any special danger for the President in Texas. There was no extraordi-\nnary anxiety about his safety, but Governor Connally did feel that a Kennedy visit at this time\nwould create more and deeper cleavages in the ranks of the Democrat Party.\nPresident Kennedy, however, decided to come to Texas as a \"peacemaker\" for his own politi-\ncal party.\nThe tour began in San Antonio. The crowds were large, friendly and orderly. It was the same\nin Houston and in Fort Worth. The presidential entourage arrived at Love Field, Dallas, at 11:37\na.m., Friday, November 22, greeted by a large, friendly gathering of Dallasites. The President and\nthe Governor, and their wives, got into an open limousine for a parade through Dallas. The Presi-\ndent and Mrs. Kennedy sat in the rear seat, the President on the right side. On jump seats in front\nof them were Governor and Mrs. Connally, the Governor directly in front of the President.\nThe motorcade formed with the presidential car immediately behind the lead car, the Vice\nPresident and other dignitaries and members of the press following.

S. Marine Corps. Therefore,\nhe could not have attended school in New Orleans in October,\n1956. This would be after he had already transferred to\nFort worth. To further substantiate this correction, note\nthat the dates on the transfer are September 8, 1955 tc\nOctober 10, 1956. This would be thirteen months and two days,\nwhen a school year 1s only nine months.

The source did not know the lo-\ncation of the coffe shop and did not want her name used.\nSource also stated she would not give the name of the friend\nwho had heard the mechanic making the statement, unless it\nwas absolutely necessary. A report (Int. 2965-11) was made\non this information because it was felt a possibility existed\nof locating the mechanic or garage thru bills and receipts\nconfiscated from the vehicle of JACK RUBY. When photostatic\ncopies of the contents of RUBY'S vehicle were received by\nthis office, they were searched with negative results in\nregards to mechanical work.\nDetective F.A. Hellinghausen was later sent to contact\nthe original source and was given the name of SUBJECT and\nhis place of employment, the SUBJECT being the person source\nhad received the information from. SUBJECT could add only\nthe information that the COFFEE HOUSE DRIVE IN was the name\nof the cafe where SUBJECT heard the mechanic make statemnt\nlisted above, and the description of the mechanic as being\na short white male wearing greasy blue work clothes. Detec-\ntive Hellinghausen then went to the COFFEE HOUSE DRIVE IN,\n5060 W. Lovers Lane, and found that this place had gone out\nof business during the latter part of December, 1963 or the\nearly part of January, 1964.\nINDEXED\nOn April 2, 1964, Detective L.D.

WHITE told the officers\nthat he had not heard SUBJECT talk of the incident but he\ncalled in MR. JOHN P. SCHNITZIUS, an employee of the same\nfirm. MR. SCHNITZIUS said SUBJECT had told him about the in-\ncident but he could not add any additional information to\nthe event other than that received by Detective Hellinghausen.\nThe undersigned officer then went to MR. BOB DAVIS, a\nmember of the TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S STAFF, who is assigned\nto aid the WARREN COMMISSION in the investigation of the ass-\nassination of PRESIDENT KENNEDY.

Konnedy\nLee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin of President Kennedy.\nHe did not kill Patrolman Tippit either. Oswald was wrongfully accused\nand \"convicted\" on both counts in the worst judicial frameup in history.\nAll the charges against him were trumped up. Material evidence was doctored,\nfaked, or insofar as it would have favored the accused, suppressed. Wit-\nnesses were intimidated or hushed up. In some cases, statements which\nthey had never made were put into their mouths by the police. And then the\ndefenceless accused was railroaded to death.\nThese are the basic findings of a painstaking private inves-\ntigation which I undertook early in December 1963, on the spot in Dallas,\non behalf of a leading German magazine. Since then, I have written a book\nof about 100, 000 words on the case which sets forth in detail why Oswald\ncould not possibly have murdered President Kennedy or the policeman. The\nbook will first be published in Paris (probably in May or June of this\nyear), later also in Germany and Britain, among other countries.\nMy investigation also brought out, beyond a shadow of doubt,\nthat Oswald never was a genuine Communist. His \"marxism\" was nothing but\na pose, his propaganda for Castro a sham, his \"defection\" to Russia a flim-\nBY cover for an intelligence assignment, which he bungled. Oswald went to\nthe Soviet Union as an agent for the C.I.A., was found out and neutrali-\nzed at Minsk where he worked practically as a slave laborer. Upon his re-\nturn to this country, he became a stool-pigeon and agent provocateur for\nthe F.B.I. on whose instructions he set up his phony \"Fair Play for Cuba\nCommittee\" in New Orleans. At the same time, he was being trained for\nanother intelligence mission, this time to Cuba, which he botched again.\nThis double failure as a secret agent made Oswald \"expen-\ndable\" in the eyes of his employers. And when some of the intelligence\nfigures who had manipulated Oswald joined the conspiracy to assassinate\nPresident Kennedy, they arranged for him to be sacrificed as the most con-\nvenient scapegoat.\nOswald, demonstrably innocent of both the killings that\nhave been attributed to him, was not a victim of judicial error. The way\nhis case was handled by the Dallas police and district attorney excludes\nany possibility of an innocent mistake having been made by overzealous\nor inept prosecutors. The Dallas police chiefs and District Attorney Henry\nM. Wade knowingly and deliberately framed this innocent man because they\nthomselves were in league with the real assassins of President Kennedy.\nThey callously sacrificed Oswald in order to shield the real perpetra-\ntors of \"the crime of the century.\"\nThese are not \"wild charges. The shocking fact that Os-\nwald's accusers were themselves implicated in the plot to assassinate the\nPresident of the United States is brought out in my book and in the present\nreport in minute, carefully documented detail.\nExpect no solid grains of truth from the Warren Commission.\nIts performance to date clearly shows that the mandate it has received from\nPresident Johnson is not to uncover, but to hush up the true facts about\nthe assassination,\nINDEXED\nLATE\nLATE4-2714\nINITIALS\nINT\nThe Joesten Report\nFrom all present indications, the Varren Report will be nothing\nbut a glorified coverup heaped on top of the F.B.I.'s shoddy coverup for\nthe crimes committed by the Dallas police.\nWhy, it may be asked, should President Johnson wish to keep the\nlid on the true circumstances of his predecessor's death? Legitimate as\nthis question my sound, it is in fact a bit naive. Who put Lyndon Johnson\nin the White House? Not the ballots of the American people. The bullets\nof a powerful gang of fellow-Texans did.\nI do nót 8 uggost that Johnson personally instigated the plot or\nthat he actively took part in it. At this stage of my inquiry, I do not\nthink that he was in any way directly involved. But he is the beneficiary\nof a crime conceived and executed by the power elite of his home state,\nTexas.\nThanks to the Bobby Baker scandal, Johnson was on his way out of\nthe White House, when the Texas gang forcefully put him back with a few\nwell-placed shots. Other factors that contributed to the decision to kill\nKennedy were the resentment of the big oil interests of Texas at the late\nPresident's tax reform proposals; the wrath of the Cuban adventurers in-\nside and outside the C.I.A. at Kennedy's moderation in the matter; the\nhate of fanatical segregationists of the Beckwith and General Walker stripe.\nThe John Birch Society, rehearsing a factual version of \"Seven Days in May.!\nThe assassination of President Kennedy was more than \"the crime\nof the century. 11 The way it has been presented to the American people -\nthe most gullible on earth -constitutes the most monstruous fraud ever\nperpetrated by officialdom and connived at by a supine, cowardly press.\nIt Was the most blatant attempt to fool all the people all the time this\ncountry has ever witnessed. so far it has achieved complete success. Histo-\nrically, the perfect crime was committed on November 22, 1963.\nThe present report, which for the first time spells out the\nwhole, awesome truth about the assassination, will not make glaring head-\nlines. It is not likely ever to see the light 4a in this country - as a\nprinted book. But it will make its way, I am sure, onto some library shel-\nves where scholars of the future, endeavoring to shed some light on 20th\ncentury obscurantism, then will find the source material which the powers\nthat-be and the controlled news media of 1963-64 strove desperately to\nwithold from the public.\nI am not writing this for the general public which has been 80 -\ncurely lulled into uncritical acceptance of the preposterous Oswald Hoax.\nMy report is destined for the few discerning and independent minds who\nhave sensed all along that something was terribly wrong in the official\nversion but who had no way of getting at the facts. More power to these\nearnest truth-seekers!\nNotice to the Assassins: You can kill me, too, but you can no longer stop.\nthe truth.

You may say that what will be will be, but I will\nattempt to clearly explain.\nWith the assassination of the beloved and immovable President Kennedy your husband\nwas also assassinated by the presumed assassin of the president. Have you not stopped\nto think that it's a little strange that, since practically all the police were concentrated in\nthe place where the president would pass, and then finding your husband in a spot that he\nevidently considered likely for the suspect to pass (that is, if in those few moments,\nthey had given a description of the suspect) and he immediately went to the Tenth St.\nto apprehend him, and being alone in the patrol car, apparently against a regulation\nrequiring two patrolmen in each car. How did it happen that he was in it by himself\n(instead of giving him a medal for merit, he should have been chastised for not\nfollowing regulations)?\nYou cannot find the explanation of what would have happened if someone else had been\nwith him, and perhaps he would not be dead at this moment. Would you like me to\ngive you a different version from that created by infantile and juvenile minds of your\nnation? Perhaps your husband wanted to go alone (the thing that I cannot explain is\nhow he managed to be alone), since he was being paid to take into custody, which at\nthat time and hour was to be taken out of the country, for example to Mexico, for\nwhich they would give him a large sum of money (all the money that they sent to you\nby those who think that your husband was a great man would burn my hands.) If they had sear\nreason to believe this, he would indeed be a supurb policeman. But your husband, upon\nlearning by radio what had happened did not want to be implicated in such a terrible\nsituation such as aiding and removing from the scene the assassinof the president and\nfor that reason when Oswald arrived first, they entered into conversation (just like the\nlady that saw them said) and when your husband told him that he was not going to take\nhim anywhere, but instead was going to turn him over to the authorities, this is when\nyour husband was shot and killed 80 that your husband could not inform on Oswald.\nWell, Oswald killed him, but also for money, since this did not bother his conscience\nat all, because as the saying goes in my country, \"for money, the dog will dance\".\nAnd for the same reason Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, thinking that the important\nman or societies behind him would get him out one way or another, even though the\ncourts would delcare him innocent for reason of insanity, the same insanity that\nOswal'd had to kill the president since the insanity would bring the luxury of money\nsince their intelligence in any other field would not make them rich in the right way.\nIt is 80 easy to gain wealth with a little luck and a very little work in your country,\naided by your cours and government. Don't believe that I do not have compassion for\nyour unhappiness. Here in Spain there is a saying that goes 'Discount whatever you\ndon't want to believe\". But if everything is true th has been said since November\n22 of that immortal month we * are going to have to change that saying and say \"I\ndo not believe anything that the Americans say since they believe that if they are told\nthat a burro will fly, they will believe it and it does not seem strange to me DEXED\nyour country that burros will fly.\"\nDATEU-27-64\nMr.\nMra. Tippitt - P\n2\nThe police of Dallas and especially the chief of police who allows the assassin of\nyour president to be killed saying that everything was all over. With the police\nof this country, they would have to have given all of the protection of that city.\nThe day following the death of the president, they could have told the truth, but not\nthe truth that everyone would have liked to have heard, and they would have had the\nsuspect well protected not at the mercy of what happened to him by Ruby, since the\npolice took so few precautions to such an important suspect as this one who killed\nthe president. It appears to me that they allowed this to happen for fear that all the\npeople would know what was behind it since they certainly would have all been in it\nup to their necks for their part in it, even though they say otherwise.\nAnd if the Americans of the United States believe that the rest of the world are going\nto believe this story about the famous \"city without law and if what you have there is\nlaw that jpermits everyone to come in this area armed and without searching them\nit is no better than a jungle, and since the world seems to believe this, then they will\nalso believe that I am the president in Washington.\nBut let us return to our previous subject. Let us suppose that your husband was a\nvery honorable and able policeman aware of his duty, the best in the the country,\nwhich is supposing a great deal. Don't swell yourself up with pride for all the letters\nand donations you have received because of the death of your husband. Think of\nwhat would have happened if this would have happened by some juvenile that happens\nall the time in his profession. He would still be just as dead and you would not\nhave received one letter except for close friends and family and from the bossess\nof your husband. Actually, all that you have received is not because of any great\nact by your husband except that it happened more or less at the time of the confusion\nat the time of the assassination which was the most tragic and cruel that has ever\noccurred in history. For the same reason, all that you have received is out of\nsentiment of the hearts of Americans for the dead president, since that could not\nsend it to the president's wife because she has inherited a great deal from her husband and\nthey sent this to you instead. Well, Mrs. Tippitt, if you have read this entirely, this\nis enough.\nAffectionately yours,\nMaria Luisa Marin\nINDEXED\n1\n4.27.64\nDATE\nh\n146\nINT. 2965\nNovember 22, 1963\nCaptain W.P.

In 1941, he joined the faculty at Harvard as a Teaching Fellow in English, doing graduate work for a doctorate\nin American Civilization.\nIn 1942, he left Harvard and joined the FBI. As an FBI Agent, be worked for three and a half years on communist\ninvestigations in the industrial Midwest; two years as an administrative assistant to J. Edgar Hoover on FBI headquar-\nters staff in Washington; and almost four years on general FBI cases in various parts of the nation.\nIn 1951, Smoot resigned from the FBI and helped start Facts Forum. On Facts Forum radio and television\nprograms, Smoot spoke to a national audience, giving both sides of controversial issues.\nIn July, 1955, he resigned and started his present independent publishing and broadcasting business — a free-\nenterprise operation financed entirely by profits from sales: sales of The Dan Smoot Report, a weekly magazine;\nand sales of a weekly news-analysis broadcast, to business firms, for use on radio and television as an advertising vehicle.\nThe Report and the broadcast give only one side in presenting documented truth about important issues — the side\nthat uses the American Constitution as a yardstick. The Report is available by subscription; and the broadcasts are\navailable for commercial sponsorship, anywhere in the United States.\nIf you think Dan Smoot is providing effective tools for Americans fighting socialism and communism, you can\nhelp immensely — by helping him get more customers for his Report and broadcasts.

Kennedy was murdered by a communist in Dallas. Dallasites, both lib-\neral and conservative, were more completely thunderstruck by the crime than any other people in\nthe world, because many were actual eyewitnesses; all had a feeling of closeness to the deed. Yet,\nall over the world, Dallasites were accused of hate-mongering fanaticism, of having molded the\ntwisted mind of Lee Harvey Oswald, a stranger in their midst.\nLee Harvey Oswald was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 18, 1939. His father died\nbefore he was born. His mother works as a practical nurse.¹\nA part of his boyhood was spent in Fort Worth, Texas, where he went to public schools. In\n1953, he and his mother moved to New York. Oswald attended a junior high school in the Bronx\nfor a few weeks. He was arrested for truancy and given a psychiatric examination. Psychiatrists\nrecommended that he be committed, saying he was a potentially dangerous schizophrenic. He was\nnot committed. He and his mother also lived briefly in North Dakota.\nOswald said he became interested in marxism when he was 15, after reading a pamphlet about\nJulius and Ethel Rosenberg (American communists, executed as spies).\nIn 1956, at the age of 17, Oswald enrolled as a freshman in Arlington Heights High School,\nFort Worth. He dropped out after 23 days, and joined the Marine Corps. In boot camp, he\nqualified as sharpshooter on the rifle range; but he never adjusted to life in the Marines, as he\nnever adjusted to life anywhere else. He was forever in trouble. He served in the Philippines and\nin Japan as a radar operator, with the rank of Private First Class. He was twice court-martialed\nwhile in Japan: the first time for carrying an unregistered pistol; the second time, for swearing at\na non-commissioned officer.\nTHE DAN SMOOT REPORT, a magazine published every week by The Dan Smoot Report, Inc., mailing\naddress P.

In 1941, he joined the faculty at Harvard as a Teaching Fellow in English, doing graduate work for a doctorate\nin American Civilization.\nIn 1942, he left Harvard and joined the FBI. As an FBI Agent, he worked for three and a half years on communist\ninvestigations in the industrial Midwest; two years on FBI headquarters staff in Washington; and almost four years\non general FBI cases in various parts of the nation.\nIn 1951, Smoot resigned from the FBI and helped start Facts Forum. On Facts Forum radio and television pro-\ngrams, Smoot spoke to a national audience, giving both sides of controversial issues.\nIn July, 1955, he resigned and started his present independent publishing and broadcasting business a free-\nenterprise operation financed entirely by profits from sales: sales of The Dan Smoot Report, a weekly magazine;\nand sales of a weekly news-analysis broadcast, to business firms, for use on radio and television as an advertising ve-\nhicle. The Report and the broadcast give only one side in presenting documented truth about important issues the\nside that uses the American Constitution as a yardstick. The Report is available by subscription; and the broadcasts\nare available for commercial sponsorship, anywhere in the United States.\nIf you think Dan Smoot is providing effective tools for Americans fighting socialism and communism, you can\nhelp immensely - by helping him get more customers for his Report and broadcasts.\nPage 392\nCorsicana Daily Sun\nFeb-19,1964 Feb 1964\n-- Rent -- Repair, W\nd\nAP\nOSWALD AND HIS WEAPONS-This picture of Lee Harvey Os-\nwald was taken about April of 1963 as he posed in his Dallas, Tex-\nbackyard.
