9) Maggie and Ray Marcus and possibly some others have suggested
that you make a more public statement about the possibiltiy of the
Government producing, for all to examine, at long last, a set of totally
false X-rays and photographs consistent with the false findings of the
phony Report. I realize that you made this statement clearly in your
piece "Liberty and Justice for all", which is a fine, fine work and
should be published, but I know that Maggie and myself feel that it
cannot be said enough. Especially when you are in a television inter-
view situation where you make reference to the X-rays and the photo-
graphs in connection with the Commissioners attempt to maintain their
innocence. It would be advantageous that in the same interview, where-
ever tactically best, you told of the drastic measures to which the
commission and their aides went to alter the evidence (i.e. the explod-
ing trunk of the Chevy in Walker's driveway) and explained that it
would be nothing for the Government with all their facilities and
endless blank check of the taxpayer's money to produce an infallible
set of x-rays of the shot's path directly from the sixth floor of the
TSBD. This would be anoinstance where another murder, that of the
photographic subject, would definitely be in the "National Interest."
10) Maggie reminded me that Harry Olsen lives in Long Beach,
and could be questinned anytime. Maybe, you would want to do this
the next time you're here.
11) My brother, Andrew Jaffe, Newsweek, Atlanta Bureau, has
met with me this last Sunday. He is firmly convinced that the Sat.
Evening Post Article is the truth and that there should be a new
inquiry. He is firmly convinced that you are the best thing this
country has going for it. He will do anything to help. He is in
a precarious position. Aynesworth, he predicts, will be taken off
the assignment of the assassination because Newsweek will want to
change their position subtly as they have already begun to do when
they covered the Thompson book. My brother said that if you have
any informationtthat you want to break in an important way via the
magazine he will write the story and submit it just as you approve
it. He will quit if it si altered and printed in an untrue manner.
Most of all, he hopes that you will give him something to connect
Oswald and Ruby, since he understands that any evidence that might
prejudice the Shaw trial is not possible. He thinks there is a good
chance that if Aynesworth is bounced he will get the assignmentias
he is the number one investigative reporter in the sourthern bureau.
Up to now his assignment has always been the Civil Rights outbursts.
If you would like to talk to him or to tell him to tell the magazine
to go to hell he is àt your service and promises that he will never
divert from the path of strict objectivity. Nice, that he has finally
come around, even though it is plenty late for any man who thinks.
12) Maggie's book remains unpublished, is there anything we
can do? It's as criminal as the rest of this murder.
13) Clauder Culpepper is forever exposed. Enclosed is an
article from the Thanksgiving day issue of the Herald Express. Not
the L.A. Times. But more important, the L.A. times (small 't' inten-
tional, it's all they deserve) has editorially, endorsed the "holes"
in the Report. True to their castrated nature they call for Thompson
