DOUBT UPON DOUBT cont. 53 (Drs. Shaw and Perry said they never even heard of a bullet found at Parkland Hospital until some date considerably after November 22, 1963; in the case of Dr. Shaw, " several weeks later". That word of the "finding" of an assassination bullet did not travel like wildfire throughout the hospital can be explained logically only by assuming that the individuals involved in its discovery and handling were ordered not to talk. Such an order would be most consistent with official suspicion of 399, and may further serve to explain Hospital Fersonnel Director 0. P. Wright 1s otherwise incomprehensible failure to include any mention of it in his activity report, submitted to his superior just twelve days later. Thus far, our inquiry has not solved the mystery of Commission Ex- hibit 399. The walking-on-eggs performance of the Warren Commission and the FBI, far from legitimatizing it, have instead further beclouded its genealogy. Expert testimony was twisted or ignored; "tests" were conducted (Dr. Olivier's) which tested nothing but the Commission's gullibility, or worse; while others which should have been made were not; important witnesses were not called, or were not asked relevant questions; pertinent reports were not presented, while conspicuous omissions in others went unchallenged; obvious implications went unexplored. We have yet to learn the actual part played by bullet 399 in the unforgettable tragedy of November 22, 1963. * * * * * * * *
