I 104-10418-10420 Part 1. Introduction Who Assassinated President Kennedy? On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, President John F. Kennedy, while riding in an open limousine through Dealey Plaza and waving to the surrounding crowds, was shot to death. Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex-Marine, and former visitor to the Soviet Union, was arrested that afternoon in a movie theatre in another section of Dallas; that night he was charged with shooting President Kennedy from the sixth floor easternmost window of the Texas School Book Deposi- tory Building overlooking Dealey Plaza. This act Oswald denied steadily through two days of question- ing (no record of questions and answers was ever preserved). Two days later while Oswald was being transferred from one Jail to another, he was shot by Jack Ruby, a Dallas night-club owner, in the basement of the Dallas police station, while mil- lions of Americans watched on television. The com- mission of investigation, appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren of the U. S. Supreme Court, published its report in September 1964, and concluded that Oswald was the sole assassin and that there was no conspir- acy. In view of the authority of the Warren Commis- sion, that conclusion was accepted by many Americans for a long time. But the conclusion cannot be con- sidered true by any person who carefully considers the crucial evidence -- such as the physics of the shooting, the timing of a number of events, and other important and undeniable facts. In other words, Oswald was not the sole assassin, and there was a conspiracy. This article will develop that thesis, prove it to be true on the basis of substantial, conclusive evidence, and in particular some analysis of the photographic evidence. There was in fact a conspiracy. Oswald played a role in the conspiracy, although there is con- clusive evidence that on November 22, 1963, he did no shooting at President Kennedy, and that, just as he claimed when he was in the Dallas jail, he was a ':patsy." At least three gunmen (and proba- bly four) -- none of whom were in the sixth floor easternmost window of the Texas School Book Depos- itory building where the Warren Commission placed Oswald -- fired a total of six shots at President Kennedy. One of these shots missed entirely; one hit Governor John B. Connally, Jr. of Texas, riding with Kennedy; and four hit President Kennedy, one In his throat, one in hir back, and two in his head. (The bulk of the undeniable evidence for these statements about the shots consists of: (a) the physics of the motions of Kennedy and Con- nally shown in some 60 frames of the famous film by Abraham Zapruder; (b) the locations of the in- juries in Kennedy and in Connally; and (c) more than 100 pictures, consisting of more than 30 still photographs and more than 70 frames of mo- vies.) More than 50 persons were involved in the con- spiracy at the time of firing the shots. These persons included members of the Dallas police force (but not all of the Dallas police -- and that ac- Note. from the Publisher: In order to include the ;article by Richard E.

After the assassination, some very highly placed persons in the United States government became accessories to the crime. In other words, they participated in assiduous con- cealment of important facts, in shielding the per- petrators of the crime, and in spreading a thick layer of rewritten history (in the manner if George Orwell's famous novel "19(14") over the whole crime. Of course, asserting these statements mikes them neither true nor believable. Without very strong evidence, it would be evil to make such st4tements. As to believability, prior to District Attorney Jim Garrison's trial of Clay Shaw in New Crleans in Feb. and March, 1969, public opinion po;ls in the United States showed that over 75 peronit of the people in the United States believed iliat there was a conspiracy. The press, radio, and 1/ almost everywhere in the United States reported Cirrison's investigation and the New Orleans trial in a very distorted way. Furthermore, Garrison did lot prove to the satisfaction of the New Orleans jury that Clay Shaw was involved in the conspiracy, oven though he proved that Shaw knew and met Oswald. The news media of the United States (except for two newspapers in New Orleans) reported the trial in such a way as to show that no conspiracy existed. The media largely succeeded in changing H.S. public opinion, if we judge from the falling off of the poll percentages. But the United States' media have been proved wrong many times before, and they will be proved wrong again in this case. For example, the press of the United States almost entirely refused to he- liev.e for five years (1903 to 1908) that the Wrient brothers had flown in a flying machine heavier ihan air. Only after the Wright brothers had won spec- tacular air races and demonstrated other successful flights in France, did the majority of the "hard- headed" American press believe that the Wright broth- ers had flown! But the evidence cited or referred to in this article; and the existing photographic evidence and its analysis, a little of which is published here. establishes the fact of conspiracy. This evidence along with other evidence should and can initialize a major change in the beliefs of the people of the United States. As for beliefs of the people of Europe, it has long been and still is accepted there that President John F. Kennedy was asressinated by a conspiracy. What is the Evidence? The evidence for the statement -- "the Warren Commission conclusions are false" -- is now over- whelming. There now exists not only a mountain of new evi- dence, but also considerable new analysis o: the old evidence, the evidence which the Commission it- self published in the 26 volumes of Evidence and Hearings accompanying the Warren Report. Much of the new evidence and the new analyses of the old evidence are available for any serious researcher's inspection; if any such person is interested, he should write me. There are four prime sources of new evidence and analysis: 1. Researchers all over the United States, some affiliated with the National Committee to Investigate Assassinations (NCTIA), others acting independently but cooperating with the NCTIA, have obtained.new evidence from witnesses, and even from conspirators -- including admissions and confessions. COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 2. The new evidence includes new photographic evidence, some of which is reproduced or described in this article. 3. Researchers have produced scientific, sol- idly-based analyses of the old and new evidence and published these analyses in books and articles. 4. The office of District Attorney Jim Garrison in New Orleans has, under his direction. Icarried on (and continues to carry on) an 1 extensive investigation of President Ken- nedy's assassination. Much of this evir\ dence has been made available to the NCTIA. 'This article concentrates on some of the photo- \ graphic evidence and problems of computerized anal. ysis. However, for the benefit of readers who would like to examine some of the other evidence, a few very important and interesting references will be mentioned next. Four Important Reference Books One valuable book is Six Seconds in Dallas, by . Professor Josiah Thompson, a professor of philosophy at Haverford College, Haverford, Pa., published in 1968 by Bernard Geis and Associates, New York, 323 pages. Thompson made a thorough and competent anal- ysis of the happenings during the six seconds when President Kennedy and Governor Connally of Texas were shot. With the cooperation of Life magazine during the first part of his investigation, he looked at the clear original of the Zapruder film. (After that, Life magazine locked the film up and denied any further access, until Garrison subpoenaed the film for the New Orleans trial of Clay Shaw.) Thompson showed that at least three gunmen shot at the President, and that one of the fatal shots came from the front and not the back. Another impeccably scholarly book is Accessorie3 after the Fact, by Sylvia Meagher, published in 1967 by Dobbs Merrill Co., Indianapolis, Ind., 477 pages. She presents a most thorough analysis of the gaps, conflicts, contradictions, and failures to investigate, that are clearly revealed by careful study of the Warren Commission Report and the 26 volumes of supporting documents. A third important book is Inquest: the Warren Commission and the Establishment of Truth, by Ed- ward Jay Epstein, published by the Viking Press, New York, N.Y., 1966, 224 pp. Epstein makes a preg- nant remark at the beginning of his Chapter 9, "The major problem in the writing of the Report was the selection of the evidence. From the tens of thou- sands of pages of evidence, which facts were to be included and which facts excluded?" This book is in illuminating account of what actually did happen in the work of the staff of the Warcen Commission, Ind why and how they could have. reached the wrong ;onclusions. A fourth significant book is Farewell America, / James Hepburn, published in Canada and in Bel- ,ium by Frontiers Publishing Co., Vaduz, Liechten- tein, 1968, 418 pp. (One cannot be sued in Liech- enstein.) This book is apparently based largely n information collected by certain former members f the French intelligence service, who penetrated he plot to assassinate President Kennedy. Accord- ng to the book jacket, the author, James Hepburn, ttended the London School of Economics and later raduated from the Institute of Political Studies n Paris. (However, "Hepburn" is a pseudonym.) he book gives a large amount of information about he plot to assassinate Kennedy, its background, ad parallels in history. The book alleges that � . Edgar Hoover knew of the plot beforehand and did )thing to stop it. It also alleges that a Texas il millionaire, some other oil men. some Texas and )mPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 Californian rightists, leaders of the Dallas city government, many members of the Dallas Police De- partment, and many members of the CIA, the FBI, and the Secret Service, all were involved in the plot. I do not agree with nor believe sonie of these alle- gations. Appendix 1 of this book lists many "classified" documents in the National Archives of the United States, such as no. 931, a secret CIA document en- titled "Oswald's access to information about the U-2" (the spy plane). Appendix 2 lists more refer- ences, entitled "reports, memoranda, and documents" such as "Dossier Richard M. Helms", "General Dyna- mics Dossier F 111" -- hut how to get access to these references is nowhere mentioned. Pages 300 to 324 contain a remarkable account of twenty years' activity by the CIA. Much of the information in the book is clearly true; other information is probable or plausible; some information is clearly in the category "possible but hard to believe" and by no means proved. For reasons that may be guessed, this book is very hnrd to obtain in the United States but it can be bought in other countries. Although it has Li- brary of Congress catalog no. 60-57391, at the Li- 'brary of Congress it is "not available". Commercial importation of the book has been blocked by the U.S. Customs and the U.S. Post Office. A movie with the same title has been made by the publishers of the book; the movie, "Farewell America", has been shown in several European cities, but no copies of the film are so far available in the United States. A number of important reference books are includ- ed in the partial bibliography at the end of this article. Among the more important authors are Harold Weisberg, Paris Plammande, Mark Lane, Rose- mary James, Joachim Joesten, and Raymond Marcus. A fuller bibliography is available from the NCTIA. The New Orleans Trial of Clay Shaw One of the largest additional installments of new public evidence came out of three weeks of court testimony given in New Orleans, Feb. and March. 1969, when District Attorney Jim Garrison charged Clay Show with having a part in the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy. The trial was accurately and very fully reported In The Times Picayune, Feb. 7, 1969 to March 2, 1969, the leading daily paper in New Orleans, published since 1847. The record of the trial as published in The Times Picayune contains many indications that: 1. Clay Shaw did know and meet with Lee Harvey � Oswald (dead), David Ferrie (dead), and Jack Ruby (dead), and exchange money with them. Twelve witnesses saw them together in twos and threes, at various times and ,places. 2. There were at least three gunmen in Dealey Plaza firing at President Kennedy on Novem- ber 22, 1963, from at least two directions, and therefore there was a conspiracy. What Garrison failed to prove to the satisfaction of the New Orleans jury was that Clay Shaw was involved in the conspiracy in Dallas. The Miami Police Tape Among the pieces of new public evidence is the "Miami Police Tape." In September 1963, President John F. Kennedy gave a speech in Miami, Florida. Prior to this time a Miami police informer who had infiltrated the National States Rights Party inter- viewed one of its chieftains. a Mr. Milteer, in a hotel room in Miami. Unknown to Milteer the room had been bugged by the Miami police and the inter- view was taped. The informer drew Cheer out on 31 t, 11 the subject of assassinations. Milteer said that Jack Kennedy was going to be assassinated either in Miami or in some other city by individuals who were connected with right wing groups including the Min- ute Men and the National States Rights Party. He said it would be done with a high-power rifle from a high point in a city building and that n patsy would be picked up by the police afterwards. He said a man using the name Brown was the most likely one to do it. He added that Brown had been follow- ing Martin Luther King around the country for several months trying to assassinate him too. The Miami police turned the information over to the FBI, who informed the Miami police that they had turned it over to the Secret Service. Kennedy was well protected in Miami and exposed himself as little as possible, apparently partly as a result of the Secret Service receiving the infor- mation. On the morning of November 22, 1963, Milteer tel- ephoned the informer to say that Jack Kennedy was coming that day to Dallas, and would probably never be seen in Miami again. The informer interpreted this to mean that Kennedy would be shot in Dallas, and says that he reported this information to the Miami police. The Miami police in turn reported the information to the Miami office of the FBI. After the assassination, the Miami police as- sumed that either the FBI or the Secret Service were following up on these leads. So the Miami po- lice remained silent. When District Attorney Jim Garrison contacted them in late 1966, prior to pub- lic announcement of his investigation, the Miami po- lice learned of Garrison's evidence about a conspir- acy. They became very disturbed, and then decided in January 1967 to make the tape public. (Garri- son's investigation did not become public until February 1967.) The Miami tape was played for a group of newsmen in the Miami police headquarters in January 1967. Stories about the tape appeared in several newspapers, but not in The New York Times nor in other leading newspapers, in spite of the importance of the story. The FBI and the Secret Service had all the above information from the Miami police prior to the forma- tion of the Warren Commission. Yet none of the a- bove information appears in the Warren Commission Report, in the 26 accompanying volumes, or in the Warren Commission archives which have been made public. Oswald's Message to the FBI Among other evidence collected by Garrison (and confirmed by Mark Lone) is the fact that Oswald tele- phoned the Dallas, Texas, office of the FBI on No- vember 20, 1963, and told them that President Ken- nedy was going to be assassinated on November 22. An FBI teletype message was sent that day to J. Edgar Hoover with that information. A repeat teletype message with that information was also sent on that day to the New Orleans office of the FBI, apparently because of Oswald's former presence in New Orleans. A clerk in the New Orleans office of the FBI re- vealed the existence of the teletype message, and gave a deposition to that effect to Garrison. He also revealed the existence of that teletype mes- sage �to Attorney Mark Lane after Garrison's inves- tigation was made public. No statement about this message appears in the Warren Commission Report, in the twenty-six accompanying volumes, or in the Warren Commission Archives, The Radio Communicator One of the interesting events prior to the trial of Clay Shaw in 1969 was the finding of a man named 32 Jim Hicks, He 3howed up voluntarily in Garrison's office. Garrison and one of the researchers, Jones Harris, 'suddenly renlized that they had seen his picture before, as one of the persons in Healey Plnza near the time of the fatal shooting (See Fig. 11). Hicks admitted that he was the radio com- municator among the rifle teams since they were out of sight from enzh other, and of course each team would need to know what was going on. Jim Hicks had set up a communications center at the Adolphus Hotel prior to the assassination. The photograph Harris hod seen is a picture of Jim Hicks in Healey Plaza just after the shots, with his radio in his left rear trouser pocket and anten- na hanging down outside. (See the foreground of Figure 11.) Since the time of his admissions, Jim Hicks has been locked up in an Air Force Hospital for the insane located in Oklahoma. Strange Events In the Warren Commission's activities, there are many strange events, extraordinary patterns of behavior, and important unanswered questions to which the Warren Commission paid almost no atten- tion. There are more than 50 instances of these strange events -- where the Warren Commission did not look, or looked aside, as if they were trying Not to see. 'Among these are the following: 1. Crucial records were burned or destroyed. For example, Commander J. J. Humes, chief autopsy surgeon, personally burned in his fireplace on Nov. 24, 1963 his preliminary draft of the autopsy report. The Warren Commission accepted this action as natural. 2. Crucial physical evidence was destroyed, as in (a) washing of Governor Connally's bul- let-penetrated clothing, before it was ex- amined by the Commission's staff, and (b) the prompt rebuilding of the presidential limousine, so that it could no longer be examined for bullet narks; etc. The Warren Commission accepted these actions without � questioning. 3. The Warren Commission did not examine the autopsy X-rays and photographs of President � Kennedy. In fact, the photographs were not even developed until two years after President Kennedy's death. The Kennedy family and Burke Marshall, their lawyer, assisted in locking them up. 4. The Warren Commission accepted the sudden appearance of a pristine bullet (Commis- sion Exhibit 399) fitting Oswald's gun, on the wrong stretcher in Parkland Ho3pital, - and the Commission assumed that it "fell" out of Governor Connally. 5. The Warren Commission (in an admitted error) published Zapruder frames 314 and l5 in reversed order, so that the motion of JFK's head after the fatal shot was reversed. 0. The Warren Commission ignored the visible and violent backward motion of President Kennedy's head shown in the Znpruder film at the instant of the fatal shot -- a mo- tion that conclusively shows that the Presi- dent was fatally shot from the front. 7. The Warren Commission failed to investigate many possible motives for shooting President Kennedy, and who would profit thereby. Etc. Perhaps the strangest of all the events are some events that took place after the Warren Commission made their report: 1. President Lyndon B. Johnson issued an execu- tive order locking up in the Archives of COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 4 , 4 .� . �� . � � � Irk �' ' � ; � w V ,V�wwri� �����.� � 'T ' � �,..���������, ~t ���1^. 4 T c4, 'Kcyi 14. . r.� � 4t. ���� � 7 � -* 4 e -� � ".!...; � ��� 01..1!"� s � .t t;.������..� '471 � ' 444,44w14e4r1.4441"..."7r4.7177.73, fj :.,. : ..,...,:c%..,.+4,041: 6.1160��Moi6o...1.0.044....*,��;0041.460.1.4.1.11 ' , � 4 . 7 I ' � : .., 111�10919�1�1* ' �� � � '"?'� , -t � .� A e .4a sod � � 777 .

The list of the titles of these extraordi nnry documents was obtained and published in the Saturday Evening Post on April 6, 1960. 2. Chief Justice Earl Warren has steadily re- fused to consider any new evidence. As re- cently as 1969 he told newsmen, "I know of no new evidence, and have seen no new evi- dence." It Is a fact that such new evi- dence exists in large quantities. This strange attitude may be coupled with War- ren's steady silence in response to letters. No scientist, no honest man, ever refuses to look at new evidence. The kind of action which locks a- way old evidence, and refuses to look at new evi- dence, is not the kind of action of honest scien- tists and honest men. Basically, the Warren Commission picked up the Dallas police hypothesis. that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin and there was no conspiracy. Once they chose this hypothesis (and they chose it very early), they assiduously tried to confirm it, partly by selecting evidence, partly by suppressing information which they knew, and partly by altering evidence to the opposite -- in other words, falsi- fying evidence. Their candidate for assassination vehemently denied (for two days before being killed by Jack Ruby) participating in or knowing about the assassination of President Kennedy. He also posi- tively stated that he had been made a patsy, a fall guy. He also said that the photograph of him hold- ing a rifle was a fake, saying, "That's my head but not my body." (That photograph is demonstrably a fake..) Over 50,000 items of evidence exist which support and mutually confirm a contrasting hypothesis. This hypothesis is that there was a conspiracy, and that at least four persons shot at President Kennedy, and that more than 50 persons were involved in the con- spiracy. In fact, about 6 persons who participated in the conspiracy have admitted their participation and described what happened in their own involve- ment. All of these items of evidence collected con- firm the information in all of the photographs, and are very largely consistent. I do not allege that the CIA, the Secret Service, Lyndon B. Johnson, and, certain other prominent individuals participated in the conspiracy before the assassination occurred. I do assert that these individuals and agencies, after the assassination occurred, participated in covering up and concealing the conspiracy and there- by became accessories after the fact. The evidence referred to is available under appropriate circum- stances to an untainted Congressional investigation. Part 2. The Photographic Evidence Over 510 Photographs The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was the most photographed murder in history. Ap- proximately 75 photographers took a total of approxi- mately 510 photographs, either before or during or within an hour after the events in Dealey Plaza, and either there or nearby or related to those events. The word "photograph" in' this context includes both still photos and movie sequences. The number of frames in a movie sequence ranges from about 10 to about 500; and in the count of 510 photographs given above, the 10 to 500 frames of a single movie se- quence are counted Just as one photograph. The to- tal number of frames is over 25.000. 34 The Warren Commission examined 26 photographs, about 5 percent of the 510. The FBI examined about 50 photographs, or about 10 percent. The most fa- mous of all the photographs is the Znpruder film, which had over 400 frames. Many of the photographs were taken by profes- sional photographers. About 30 of the photographers were professionals who worked for newspapers, tele- vision networks, and photographic agencies. The Warren Commission did not interview n single one of the professional photographers, nor did the Warren Commission see any of their photographs. Fifteen of these professionals were actually in the Kennedy motorcade, no further than 6 car lengths behind the Kennedy car. Five of these photograph- ers were television network cameramen. The Warren Commission looked at none of their photographs. Two of the photographers were from the White House. One of these men (Thomas Atkins) was the regular photographer for the White House. He made � a special film for Lyndon B. Johnson. Atkins used his own film plus some footage obtained from the television photographers. Johnson looked at the film and then put it away. This film is now stored with the Kennedy Memorial Library materials in a warehouse in Washington, D.C.; it is stated to be "unavailable" to researchers. The Commission did not see this film, nor did they interview Atkins. Because the professionals used movie cameras of professional quality, their films are exceedingly revealing and valuable as primary evidence. The Warren Commission looked at none of these films. During the past several years, I have collected copies of over 200 of these photographs, �and I have looked at and taken notes on another 200 of these photographs, without obtaining copies of them. Some of the remaining 100 have either not been found or have been locked up or destroyed by the owners, who are fearful of the information they show. Or they have been locked up by the FBI, who have either placed them in files inaccessible to the public or possibly have destroyed them. (See Table 2.) Chart 2 of this article shows the times of about 50 of the photographs taken in Dealey Plaza during Kennedy's passage through it. Table 3 of this article lists over 510 photo- graphs so far identified and known to exist or to have existed -- with possibly a few borderline cases. Most of the "official" photographs of the Warren Commission, or of the FBI, or of the Dallas Police, which are in the Warren Commission Report or in the 28 volumes of the Warren Commission's Evidence and Hearings, are not included in the list of Table 3, because such photographs were taken more than one hour after the shots were fired. The 6th Floor Easternmost Window According to the Warren report, Oswald was sup- posed to have fired a rifle from the 6th floor easternmost window of the Texas School Book Deposi- tory Building. (See Chart 1) Among the photographs there are several that show this window. Accompany- ing this article are copies of two photographs, one showing this window exactly 5.7 seconds before the first shot and one showing this window exactly 3.5 seconds after the last shot. (See Figs. 6 and 7) The first photograph (Table 3, No. 8) was taken �bY photographer Hughes, and shows the window with only a box appearing in it. The second (Table 3, No. 121) was taken by photographer Dillard and shows the window with .only the box in it. There is a photo- graph taken by Norman Similes taken during the shooting which is now in the possession of the FBI (see Tables 2 and 3. No. 494). A possible reason for the FBI not to reveal or display this photograph is that it was taken between the first and the last f' COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 shots, and shows the window empty except for the box. Oswald and his rifle are not in this window -- which would be complete proof that he was not there. Nor- man Similns. and also an editor of Liberty magazine in Canada, saw this photo, however, and both state that the window was empty. Even without the availability of the Similai pho- to, the other two pictures destroy the Warren Com- mission's findings and the testimony of their key witnesses. The witness, notably Howard Brennan, said that the assassin was leaning out of the win- dow and poking the rifle well out of the window /both before and after the shots were fired. The Warren Commission offers other evidence. The evidence consists of: three bullet casings "found" on the floor near that window; the three boxes arranged in the window to look like a gun rest; and the bullet (Commission Exhibit 399) which supposedly passed through both Kennedy and Connally. All this evidence can be demonstrated to be faked. Photographs coupled with testimony prove that the Dallas authorities altered the "sixth floor TSBD" evidence. The alterations were as follows: The original setting up of the bullet casings was too obviously faked. Sheriff Roger Craig ar- rived on the scene first and saw the three casings, side by side, neatly pointing in the same direc- tion, just inches apart. By the time the "official" police photographer, Mr. Studebaker (who in reality was an amateur photographer with only two months experience), took pictures of them, the casings had been scattered around the floor by some member of the police force. Similarly, the original position of the boxes making up the so-called "gun rest", was so obvious- ly inadequate, that the police moved them to look a lot more like a gun rest. Jack Beers, Dallas Morn- ino News photographer, took photos of the boxes at 4 pm while they were still in their original posi- tion. This fact is confirmed by several photos taken at the time of the shots from outside the building showing the corner of the topmost box stacked three high. By the time Studebaker took photos of the boxes, used as Exhibits by the Warren Commission, it was after dark, and the boxes had been rearranged so that they were only two deep, with the third one moved onto the window sill. Checking the position of the corner of this box as it would appear from the outside of the building, shows that it is in a quite different east-west lateral location than the corner actually showed itself to be in the pho- tos taken at 12:30 pm to 1 pm. (Dillard, Hughes, - Beers, Weaver, Willis, Murray). The net result of all this evidence collectively is the following proved conclusion: No one fired stax shots on November 22, 1963 betwben noon and one pm from the sixth floor easternmost window of the TSBD. The Zapruder Movie Of all the photographs taken in Dealey Plaza on that fateful day, the color movie sequence of some 400 frames taken by Abraham Zapruder is the most important. It shows from the right hand side of the motorcade the entire sequence of events, from President Kennedy rounding the curve from Houston St. into Elm St., through all the shooting, until the big presidential limousine left with the dead president going under the triple overpass off to Parkland Hospital. This film almost by itself, with careful, scientific analysis, establishes the times of five of the shots. The Warren Commission received the original of the Zapruder film to kook at, on loan from Life magazine, which bought it from Zapruder. COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 From that time on, the film was never publicly shown, but remained in the locked files of Life. But a direct copy of the original was subpoenaed and shown NINE times by Assistant District Attorney Alvin Oser In New Orleans in February 1969, at the trial of Clay Shaw. The judge, the jury, the news- paper reporters, and the spectators in the court room all became convinced that Oser and Garrison had demonstrated a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy. When one sees and studies in detail the Zapruder film in its clear version and examines the other photographs showing the effects of the shots, one becomes convinced of two statements: 1. There were six shots, of which five hit per- sons in the Kennedy car; of these five the first went through the throat of President Kennedy; the second struck Kennedy in the back; the third struck Governor Connally in the right shoulder; the fourth and fifth struck President Kennedy nearly si- multaneously in the head and blew out his brains. The remaining shot missed and struck a curbstone on Main St. 2. The last of the five shots (coming from the grassy knoll area), and one of the two fatal shots, struck Kennedy from the front and to the right, hurling his head to the left and backwards with great force, in ac- cordance with the lews of physics. (For a scientific analysis, see Six Seconds in Dallas.) Either one of these statements renders impossible the Warren Commission Report's conclusion, that only three shots were fired, the second one missing en- tirely and striking the curb of Main St. Obviously, if there was a conspiracy, it becomes vitally necessary to prevent the American people from seeing the Zapruder film, clear and complete, and especially in motion. For over six years, ex- cept in New Orleans, this has been achieved. How- ever, currently, bootleg copies of the Zapruder film are on sale here and there in the United States at prices ranging from $10 to $50, available for private and illegal showings, since Life magazine owns the original and has never given permission for copies of the film to be sold. Many of these bootleg copies, because of lack of clarity, do not demonstrate the first statement; but they do demon- strate convincingly the second statement, the back- ward thrust of President Kennedy's head at the time of the fatal shot. Life magazine would be able to earn millions of dollars from showing the Zapruder film. In three days of showing the Zapruder film, uncut, clear, and not tampered with, on national television, eve- ry person in the United States who watched televi- sion could see for himself that more than three shots were fired (which makes the Warren Commission conclusions nonsense) and could see that the fatal shot thrust Kennedy's head backwards with great force (proving that he was hit, from the front, and not the back, which also makes the Warren Commis- sion conclusions nonsense). Although the Warren Commission report was silent on this last point, some defenders have tried to explain away the back- ward motion by conjecturing a speedup in the car's motion causing a "snap backward". The Zapruder film by itself shows this is not true. One can clearly see that the car does not speed up at the time, and that Mrs. Kennedy's head does not snap at all. Other explanations have bees offered, such as a whiplash motion, caused by Kennedy's neck brace, or a reverse explosion as the bullet from the rear exited Kennedy's head in front. Josiah Thompson's analysis In Six Seconds in Da141, proves beyond a 35 Prfletwwwww.r.w.wwwww.--.0.9earwm��� ti 9 shadow of n doubt, that only the force of a high velocity bullet striking Kennedy's head from the ' front could produce the head acceleration bnckward. . shown in Znpruder frames 313 through 315, and measurable therefrom. � More thnn n dozen other photos confirm that there were more than three shots. Other Activities at the Time of the Shots The photographs' token at the time of the shots , (see Chart 2) show many other significant and im- intnnt activities. Coupled with the testimony of photographers And other witnesses, the photos prove the Warren Commission wrong on several other pointsus"*:' To describe n11 of these points in detail requires more space than is here available. But the follow' jag list summarizes these activities and conclu- sions (see also Chart 1 for timing and direction ' of Shots). a. The first shot, fired by man nt from be- hind the fence on the grassy knoll, hit Kennedy in the throat at Z109 (Z numbers in the text and on the Map refer to frame ns of the Znpruder Film. The frames were 1/10 second apart. The Z numbers on the map show the locntion of Kennedy in each Zapruder frame). � b. The second shot, fired by man n6 from the second floor window of the Dal Tex Build- ing, struck Kennedy in the back at c. The third shot, fired by man AO from the ' Texas School Book Depository (TM) hit. Connally in the back at Z230. The fourth shot fired by man u6 from the''' Dal Tex Building struck the curb on the south side of Main St. at about Z205. The fifth shot fired by man AO from the TSBD hit Kennedy in the head at 7.312+. f. The sixth shot fired by man 15 from the grassy knoll hit Kennedy in the head at � Z313. . Man u2 "created" a puff of smoke as an ap- parent diversion (as it turned out, the diversion was not needed) and then ran bock beyond the position of man ul and jumped over the fence. it. The timing of the first shot established , by three photos -- Zapruder, Willis (Table 4:t; 3, No, 85), and Betzner (Table 3, No. 101) -- to be Z109, was such that the view of ' Kennedy from the sixth floor easternmost window of the TSBD, was completely ob- scured by a large oak tree. (B11 on Chart .�.' 1) A man who looked very like Oswald ran down the grassy knoll ten minutes after the shots were fered and drove away down Elm St. with a Latin-appearing man in a light-colored station wagon with a lug- gage rack. To someone not familiar with all of the millions of details of the Kennedy assassination, this seems unrelat- ed. However, other evidence indicates . the man may have been an antj-Castro ad- venturer impersonating Oswald, and that the. Latin may have been another of the anti- Castro Cubans. Hien Who Ran Away Many photographs were taken within an hour af- ter the shots, which show that certain men on the ' .grassy knoll ran away after the firing, and these photographs show how they ran away. .1 For example, several photographs (Table 3, Nos.. 30 19, and 52) shows certain man. who has been 36 labeled for the present as Man 01. He is apparent- ly the man who fired the fatal shot, shot N. 6. His position has been shown on the map in siren D6. The photos show that. he escaped by means of a white cnr, which hne been previously parked just a few feet from his position. This subject has been investigated at length by the researchers, but the investigation has not been finished. It may be that the investigation cannot be adequately concluded until computerized analysis of the information in the photographs (see Part 3) has progressed much further. The photos also show where and how men '2.3 & 4 ran away after the shots. The "Tramps" and the "Phoney Policeman" Approximately a half hour after the shots were fired, Sergeant D. V. Harkness of the Dallas Police. was instructed by Inspector Sawyer of� the Dallas Police (in command of Henley Plaza police activi- ties after the assassination) to go back to the railroad tracks (see Map and Fig. I) and stop a freight train which was being moved out and search it. (The npproximnie time is estnblIshed by the angles of the shadows in the photographs, by the testimony of Serpent Hnrkness to the Warren Com- mission, Vol. 6, p. 312, and by the timing of Wm. Allen's sequence of photos.) The area where the freight cars were located is to the north and west of the TSBD, end north of the grassy knoll urea. Sergeant Harkness says he arrested some "tramps' or "hoboes" whom he found in one of the box cars in the railroad area. He says he took them to the station and does not say what station he meant. However, Sheriff Elkins said that a policeman brought three "tramps" into the Sheriff's office. (See map and Fig. 1.) The route that Harkness would naturally take if he went to the Sheriff's office with the three "tramps" is exactly the route portrayed in the series of four photographs (Figs. 2,3,4. and 5), shown in this article. In Figs. 2, 4 and 5, two policemen can be seen escorting three "tramps" eastward from the direction of the railroad yards along the Elm Street extension in front of the TSBD. They turn south in front of the TSBD (Fig. 4) and proceed down Houston St. to the Sheriff's office. The vehicle entrance to the office is located at the center of the block on the last side. of Houston St. between Elm St. and Main St. The entrance is directly in front of the five nen as they proceed toward it in Fig. 5. Why is this significant? First, there is no re- cord at all of the arrest of these men -- there is - no record of their official booking nor of their release, even though Sheriff Elkins testified that he turned them over to Captain Will Fritz of the Dallas Police in the police station. Furthermore, there is no record in the Dallas police force of the "phoney" policeman at the rigNt in Fig. 2. He ii wearing non-regulation shoes or possibly rubbers; 'and in his right ear is either a radio communica- tions dev,ice or a hearing aid. Sergeant Hnrkness and Sheriff Elkins both indi- cate there was no other policeman with Hnrkness when 'he arrested the "trnmps' and when he turned them over to Elkins. Other information indicates that one or more of these "tramps" were members of right wing groups and were actually included among the gunmen who shot or shot at President Kennedy. If any reader of this article notices any person resembling any one of the "tramps" or the "phoney" policeman. it Would be useful for him to send information tm me.

He is the only Dallas policeman of those appearing in the hundreds of photographs taken Nov. 22 who is wearing on earpiece or radio communication device In his right ear (see Figure 2). Why? lie is the only one who is wearing rubbers. Why? His pistol handle appears to be different from Harkness' pistol. Why?

The only succes- sive locations shown for later positions of the motorcade art the locations of President Kennedy's head in the lead car. These head locations are marked by a sequence of dots along Elm St. These lo- cations were carefully determined by the FRI; they are identified by the frame numbers of the color movie film taken by Abraham Zapru- der; these locations wore uscd by the Warren Commission in their in..

This photograph was taken by a professional Associated Press photographer. James Altgens (Table 3, No. 57). This photograph was used by the Warren Commission as Yarborough Exhibit A, Vol. XXI, pages 701-702. However, the Warren Com- mission staff did not point out vary much of the pertinent information contained in the photograph. President Kennedy (41) appears in the limousine partially hidden by the rear view mirror. Three shots have already struck him and Governor Connally by the time this photograph was taken. The exact timing of the photograph is established by the po- sition of the left front tire of the limousine with respect to the white road stripe on Elm St. (42) By comparing this position with the corresponding positions of the limousine as the limousine appears in the Znpruder film, it has been determined that this photo was snapped at exactly the same instant as Zapruder's frame 255. Since shots were fired at Z109, Z226, Z230 and 22313, the Altgens photo was exposed 66 Zapruder frames after the first shot (3.6 seconds) and 50 frames before the last shot (3.2 secs). In view of the fact that only 3.6 seconds had elapsed following the first shot, it is not surpris- ing that very few people in the picture show signs of realizing that anything has happened. Note the smiling face's and applauding hands along the curbs. Some of the Secret Service men reacted slowly. The two men on the right-hand running board of JFK's followup car (43) obviously have heard something and are looking back. The two on the left-hand running board (44) seem to be oblivious to everything. The J one in front, Clint Hill, was later to run up to the limousine and push Mrs. Kennedy back into the rear seat when she climbed up on the back hood of the car. The motorcycle policeman next to JFK on the right. D. L. Jackson (45) seems to realize JFK has been hit; at any rate, he is looking right at JFK. The fatal shot, 3 seconds later, zoomed from the grassy knoll right over Jackson's helmet and struck JFK on the right side of his forehead. Jackson was never in- terviewed by anyone and seems to have completely disappeared from the Dallas police force shortly - after the assassination. Lyndon Johnson's secret service men, on the other hand, reacted very fast.. Rufus Youngblood testified that he pushed Johnson down on the floor of the car as soon as he heard, the shots. The po- sitions where Youngblood and Johnson would have been sitting in the photo (06) are vacant, proving that Youngblood did indeed do just what he said, in 3.6 seconds. Agent Kivett in Johnson's follow-up car can also be seen reacting quickly (#7) as he opens the left rear door, preparing to jump out. Governor Connally had been hit at Z frame 238, about one second before the photo was taken. He can be seen with his face contorted, turned to his right (88), and slumping toward the sill of the limousine. Mrs. Kennedy had, by this time, turned to see her husband in pain, and grasped his elbow with her COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 white gloved hand (89). Secret Service Agent Kel- lerman didn't react until well after this photo. This is not too surprising since Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson (Lady Bird) (810) is smiling at the crowds as if nothing had happened, even though her husband is lying on the floor next to her with Agent Young- blood on top of him. Policeman Hargis (#11) just to the loft and rear of the Presidential limousine doesn't seem to know anything is wrong, although he could be looking at JFK. Later he was hit in the face with blood and grey matter from the fatal shot which came from the right front and drove the fleshy debris of Ken- nedy's head back and to the left toward Hargis. The only reason the Altgens photo appears as a Commission Exhibit is that some sharp-eyed critic noticed a man who looked just like Lee Harvey Oswald standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book De- pository Building in the background of the photo (#12). The Commission was therefore forced to con- sider this point and they contended that the man was Billy Lovelady, who was an associate of Oswald's at the building. Four years later. I was able to prove that the Warren Commission was right, by using several other photographs in combination. Until then, the contro- versy still raged among Commission defenders and re- searchers. One of the most significant parts of the Altgens photo is the part showing the Dal Tex building in the background and an open, darkened window on the second floor (#13). Harold Weisberg, one of the re- searchers, first called attention to this window and the possibility that one or more shots might have been fired from it. A man (#14) appears in this photo, fallen back on the fire escape directly above the open window. Just five seconds earlier in the Hughes film se- quence, he was sitting in a normal position. This man has not been found to be interviewed. The group. of three people (815) in the window to the south of him have not realized anything remarkable has hap- pened and are waving and clapping and looking at the President. The probable explanation of the man's action was his much closer proximity to the noise directly below him created by a shot from the Dal-Tex window. The second shot most probably came from this window as well as the curb shot. A Latin-appearing man who closely resembles one of the Cubans known to be involved in the New Orleans part of the conspiracy appears in the same vicinity (#16). Some researchers claim that he is using a microphone and a two-way radio. However, I believe these objects to be part of the opened vent window on the Johnson secret service follow-up car. The large oak tree (#17) is the one referred to above in this article, as the tree which blocked the view of Kennedy from the 6th floor easternmost window in the Texas School Book Depository, at the time of the first shot (Z 189). The Warren Commis- sion Report admits the oak tree blocked the view from Z 161 to Z 207 (see Chart 1 and Chart 2). A 47 ProrclewillrorrlIwom!rwisrurwaiwwwwww.... 4 -L...

One of the things that happens is that the pic- tures confirm each other, and show what people were doing. One outcome of the analysis is that we see other � persons who also were taking pictures; then they OM � can be identified and located, and their pictures . also can be found, and copies of their pictures can '4 be obtained from them also. ' An example of a result of even further analysis 'of the pictures in three dimensions of space and one dimension of time is that we discover the story of ,"the man with the umbrella". When we first see the "man with the umbrella", .411e is holding it closed. This is when the Kennedy car rounds the corner from Houston St. into Elm St�. Next he is holding it open and low over his head; ' the time is shortly before the first shot (see Fig. ). Note that the weather is sunny, "slight breezes �:Id gusts"; it is a sunny November day in Dallas; � 1 ICeitt:ilistherenist to=ra:tyurr:aissonil: :Ginn; holding an open black umbrella over one's head. ,The rain that had occurred earlier in the morning :stopped about ten twenty, and the temperature is inot high enough to be shading oneself. No one else in all of Dealey Plaza appears to have been holding an open umbrella. Next, he raises the umbrella, still open, high up, about two feet higher; this is shortly before the last shot and the umbrella shows up in the Zapruder film. A few seconds after the last shot, we see him holding the umbrella folded (Table 3, No. 259). Then a few minutes la- ter, we have three pictures of him, still standing in the same place, still holding the umbrella fold- ed up. (Table p, Nos. 48, 49, and 50) Whereas everybody else in that area has dispersed rapidly, he is still standing in the same place, looking in B11 directions. . He has stood in a position to have been seen from all the places from which shots were fired. Yet)le is in front of the Stemmons Freeway sign -- se that people on the western side . of the sign can't, readily see him, and people in 'front of the sign are facing away from him, �We can draw two tentative conclusions: ' 1. Visual coordination as well as radio coor- dination of the firing teams was necessary,' because of the separation of the team mem- bers by several hundred yards, the noise and confusion of the motorcade, and the ' � crowd of spectators. The "man with the umbrella" might' be the visual/coordinator. 2. Also, it was likely that an on'-the-scene commander was required in order to make the last-minute go-no-go decision. This man may have been the on-the-scene com- mander. The Warren Commission did not see the "umbrella man" in the photographs, did not find him, did not interview him, and did not enter him in any of its / records anywhere. Neither did the FBI nor the Del- las authorities. Again, one asks why? It was a reasonably simple matter for an amateur to find flim in, the photographs, Josiah Thompson found him end mentioned.himin.his book, Six Seconds in Dal- lns.(see.pages.122?-228). Thompson even appealed for him, if innocent, to come. forward and identify himself.. That, so fert�has not happened. . ;., /:. .,, I 50 Table 2 'SOME IMPORTANT PHOTOGRAPIM ACQUIRED BY THE FBI AND UNAVAILABLE Roll and Mail List Name of Sequence El, Int!

One of these other per- sons has been called the "Babushka lady" because she is wearing a babushka (a triangular, head scarf). She took a movie as did Zapruder, but she took hers from the left hand side of the motorcade; and she was able to take all the scenes beginning with the rounding of President Kennedy's car from Houston St. on to Elm St., and ending with the dead presi- dent's limousine passing'under the overpass to go to the hospital. Her movie would be particularly valuable for it would probably show all that was going on on the grassy knoll. She may have been Mrs. Beck, at the time a stu- dent at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, who was visiting in Dallas. After her movie was developed, Mrs. Beck talked about it to the Detroit Free Press. Then the Detroit FBI attempted to find her. The information at present stops there. However, from observing similar actions of the FBI, one would suspect that they found her, obtained her movie, and either destroyed it or filed it away un- available to researchers. (See Table 2.) Until it can be confirmed that the "Babushka Lady" is Mrs. Beck, their films are listed separate- ly in Table 3 (Nos. 316 & 500). Some Other Conclusions IA great many other conclusions can be drawn from or are significantly supported by the photographic evidence., A few examples are: COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 1 I 1. About ton men ore shown being arrested. 2. At least two other rifles are shown being found before Oswald's rifle was found. 3. "Oswald" is shown in two fake photographs with him holding a rifle. When Oswald was shown the photos he said, "That's my head but somebody else's body." That Oswald was right in this case has been clearly demonstrated by Fred Newcomb, a Los Ange- les researcher. � 4. Oswald did not shoot Officer J. D. Tippit of the Dallas polAce force; two other men did. Oswald was not near the shooting site at the time. 5. Oswald's supposed discovery and arrest in. the Texas Theatre, the movie theater where he went, was staged and prearranged. Continuing analysis and continued searching for more photos will no doubt produce new conclusions and findings for some time to come.

The actual . roll and frame numbers on the negatives are given. -4James Murray used two cameras, one telefoto and one wide angle. The rolls as numbered alternate between the two cameras. Rolls 1,3 - Camera 1; Rolls 2.4, etc. - Camera 2. However, the indi- vidual photos do not alternate. Camera 2 was used much less fre- quently then Camera 1. The photos on Rolls 2,4,6,0, and 10 therefore are interspersed with Rolls 1,3,5,7, and 9 on a more or less random basis. Only the times listed indicate the true sequence. The roll and photo numbers listed are those appearing on the actual films. Only rolls 1 through 4 are listed here. Rolls 5-10 were exposed either on Nov. 23 Or later, or the might of Nov. 22 in locations other than Willey Plaza. Photo � Photographer Seq.

See Sawyer Test. 611324 TWO scenes - KRLD photographer In addition there are four other Black Star photographers who took pictures: Gene Daniels, Matt Herron, Shel Hershorn and Mr. Shulke. Gene Daniels took a total of 260 black and white. 35 mm still' photos during the November 22-24 period. A few of these were taken the afternoon and evening of November 22 and the rest op November 23 and 24. 'There are scenes at Dealey Plaza, 7500. . Sheriff's office, Pollee station, Police press conferences, Oswald's rooming house and room, Oswald's public appearances. and views of Elm St. from Dal Tex Bldg. through telescopic sight. Their photos are not counted on this list because they were e. not taken on November 22 in Dealey Plaza. 'Man with sign saying "5.0.13. Jack Kennedy" is standing on South curb of Elm, facing position of man with uml.ella. This photo taken about 1 minute after shots. Could be a signal for ssuc- cessful hit. .rUnderwood and Sanderson shored the same camera. Underwood bor- � rowed it from Sanderson shortly after shots were fired, then returned it. It is not certain which one took what sequences. Part 3. The Application of Computers to the Photographic Evidence Correlation of the Evidence . It is highly desirable to apply the powers of the computer to analysis of the evidence. And since "the evidence" a a very large order, it makes sense to begin with the "photographic evidence". Suppose we estimate at 200 the number of frames in an average photograph which is a movie or tele- vision sequence. In Table 3 (the main list) there is a record of about 44 movie sequences, and 101 television footages, 145 in total. This means that there are over 25,000 frames, plus approximately 350 still photographs, to be analyzed. Over 200 persons, objects, etc., are mentioned 'briefly in the simple short descriptions of the photographs in Table 3. As more photographs are studied, other persons and objects can be identi- fied. The different items need to be identified by codes; a sample of the coding scheme that would be applicable is shown in Table 4. The sheer volume of record keeping for 200 to 300 objects and persons appearing in 25,000 frames requires a computer.' The analysis of what appears 56 in groups and series of photos and frames also re- quires computerized correlation. How will the information for a photograph be en- tered into a computer? One reasonable way of pro- ceeding is to make a "coding sheet" for each photo- graph, preparatory to giving it to a clerk for in- put into computer language. The coding sheet and instructions will look something like that shown in Table 5. Suppose we have put together a computerized data base of the photographic evidence in this form. What will be the sorts of questions which computer programs will enable us to answer? Here are a few samples: -- Which are the pictures that show object ... or event -- Where was man u ... from time ... to time ? -- When did movable object ... leave the scene? Essentially, when one is using an ordinary file and not using a computerized data base, the infor- mation in the file Is accessible only by the main sequencing -- in this case, the number of the pho- tographer and the number of the picture or movie frame that he took. Cross referencing is possible, but difficult, time-consuming, and clumsy. When one uses a computerized data bank, cross referen- cing becomes very easy and fast. In fact, it may provide so much more facility in getting at the COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 Table 4 COMPUTER COOES FOR PERSONS AND OBJECTS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS -- PRELIMINARY LIST OF CODES W.

Directions, Locations, and Timing In addition to the content of the photographs as reported in Table 3 five more items of information need to be entered on the computer record of each frame or still photo: -- the identification of the photographer who took the photograph; -- the location of the photographer when he took it; -- the direction in which he took the picture; -- the time when he took the picture -- the identity of the person doing the anal- ysis or submitting data about the picture. The FBI and the Warren Commission staff made a careful analysis of the timing of the frames in the Zapruder film, and correlated these times with the positions of the presidential limousine and other cars in the motorcade. (See Chart 1). Consequent- ly, there exists an accepted time scale at 1/18 sec- ond intervals which applies to the events in the photographs: the scale consists of eighteenths of a second (named with frame numbers of the Zapruder film) during the crucial 6.8 seconds of the fatal interval. I was able to extend this reference tech- nique by using four other movies stretched end to COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 end in time to cover the period from the moment Kennedy rounded the corner of Houston and Main Sts. up to the beginning of the Zapruder film. A preliminary correlation of the times of various movie sequences and still photographs is shown in Table 1, for the period of Kennedy's travel through Dealey Plaza. In addition, Jim Murray's photo- graphs form an excellent time reference base at less than 30 second intervals for nearly an hour after the last shot, beginning at three minutes after the last shot (see Table 1). The period from the end of the Zapruder film (roughly ten seconds after the last shot) up to the first of Murray's photos (about 3 minutes), is covered by several movies and TV sequences. Clearly, a human clerk would find it difficult and tiring to enter the bulk of the applicable in- formation for each frame of a long sequence. But a computer program should be able to enter a large part of the applicable information into the comput- er record for each frame. The computer should be able to compute and keep records of the timing of all events, in seconds or minutes before or after the time of the first shot. Image Enhancement and Correlation Another possibility which computer graphics makes possible is image enhancement. This is an activity in which the human eye is expert.

If you take a magni- fying glass, and look at a newspaper picture, the collection of dots becomes completely visible, and you are filled with an appropriate wonder over how the human eye manages to put them together into a picture. However, if you desire to apply image enhance- ment with computer graphics, you find yourself with a two-edged sword, in this sense: If you know what you are looking for, then image enhancement can aid 58 you. For example, it is easy to find where a circle is located if you know definitely that a circle is in the picture. But if you do not know what you are looking for, then, it is easy to find and see things that are not there. For example, there are "experts" who can make people out of bushes, or make bushes out of people, or see canals on the surface of Mars. In the case of the photographs taken at the time of the Kennedy assassination, we have, however, a different situation. Suppose that four photographs taken at just the some time show a particular spot on the grassy knoll from almost the same direction: it should be possible to use techniques of Image enhancement and correlation, and thus see more clearly exactly what was at that spot. For here we are putting together not the information contained in just one picture, but the information contained in four pictures. Several photos taken from different angles could also enhance an image in three dimensions. (The puff of smoke, for example). Objectives of the Computer Search of the Photographic Evidence What are the sorts of questions that might be answered from a thorough, computerized, sear,:h of the photographic evidence? Some of these questions are: 1. Can rifles be seen in firing positions? 2. Can the faces of the gunmen be seen? . 3. According to the Warren Report, 56 witnesses (a majority) thought the shots came from a grassy knoll. Some of them saw a "puff of smoke" -- do the photographs show a puff of smoke? (At least nine photographs do.) 4. Do the photographs show that shots came from the knoll? (Yes.) 5. Does the testimony of the witnesses as to what they did, agree with what the cameras showed that they did? (One Dallas police officer testified that after the shots he ran up the grassy knoll. But he is shown in some of the photographs, and he did no such thing -- he just leaned against a lamp post.) 6. Can gunmen be traced through a series of photos? T. Given a certain object or event in a partic- ular place, which photos should show it during a particular time? There is no doubt at all that a large number of steps can be taken towards the visual re-creation of that fatal scene, through the study of over 350 still photographs and over 25,000 frames. The task of computerized analysis of the photo- graphs has been started, but there is a long way to go. A great deal of good detective work should be able to be accomplished through computer record- keeping and analysis of the photographic evidence in the assassination of President Kennedy. Part 4.

Epilogue When I have talked from time to time to various audiences on this subject and shown them some of the photographs, I have encountered a number of questions. Some of these questions are here dis- cussed. � Why is it important to get to the bottom of the . assassination of President Kennedy, now, after six and a half years have gone by? -- There are several reasons. One is that there is a pattern of assas- sination (with evidence suggesting,conspiracy) of important American leaders; two Kennedys and Martin Luther King, for example. A second reason is to save America -- i.e., the United States as a demo- cratic American society -- by exposing the truth. � Do you think you can save America? -- It can be done but only with great pain, just as there was great pain over the Dreyfus Affair in France, 1894 to 1906. � Why are you yourself so concerned about this? -- Because I personally believe that the assassination and its coverup changed the course of United States history from a positive one to a negative one in a way that no other event or series of events ever has. I believe we must eventually rid our country and our own minds of the terrible social and poli- tical cancer that would allow this to happen and, worse, to permit the truth about the assassination to remain suppressed. � Why did not Senator Robert Kennedy do something about this? -- It is sad that he did not, for I COMPUTERS and AUTOMATION for May, 1970 think he would have been alive now if he had. There is little evidence for any answer, but there are two popular theories. One theory is that, even though he knew the truth, he underestimated the forces that stood between him and the presidency Of the United States, and that he assumed that, once President, he could expose the truth. The second theory is that his connections with the Central In- telligence Agency and the failure of an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro resulted in some anti- Castro Cubans and others participating in organizing his assassination -- some of the same people who had participated in the assassination of his broth- er. I do not know why Senator Robert Kennedy re- mained silent; why Senator dward Kennedy remains silent; and why they have both suppressed the autop- sy materials on President John F. Kennedy. � Do you think District Attorney Jim Garrison is a madman or a fool or insane? -- No. I think that he is absolutely sane, an one of the old-style Americans left, and that he has a great deal of courage, lie also suffered from underestimating the strength of the forces ranged against him. In ad- dition, the CIA penetrated his case against Clay Shaw; they were even paying the lawyers of some of the people he arrested or attempted to subpoena. .. He said, "You can't conduct a trial of a CIA-backed conspiracy in an ordinary U.S. court." � Why did the national news media cooperate in the attack on Garrison's credibility? -- This question is hard to answer in a short space. For much light on this important subject, I refer you to Mark Lane's book, A Citizen's Dissent, now in paperback. � Are you telling me that men as distinguished as Chief Justice Earl Warren, John J. McCloy, Allen Dulles, Gerald Ford, and others on the Warren Com- mission can be wrong about their conclusion ex- , pressed in the Warren Commission Report? -- Yes. If you want to know how and why, read the book In- quest by Edward J. Epstein, which is a valuable con- tribution. But Epstein was paid several tens of thousands of dollars (perhaps indirectly from gov- ernment sources) for the article that he published in the New Yorker magazine attacking Garrison, and that article contains over 100 misstatements. Re- cently, one of the Warren Commissioners, Senator Richard Russell, hat' said publicly that he has doubts about some of their conclusions. Also Jesse Curry, Dallas police chief in November 1963, has said publicly the same thing. � Did Lyndon B. Johnson know about the plans for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas before it happened? -- So far no tubstantial evidence has been found to show that he did. Did J. Edgar Hoover know about the plans for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas before it happened? -- There is conclusive evidence that J. Edgar Hoover knew, and issued no warnings. � What can be done? 1. One of the things that. anyone can do is to read up on this subject, become informed, and talk to his friends. 2. Another thing that may be possible is to organize in a year or two an untainted Con- gressional committee of investigation, which will look into political assassina- tions in the United States. 3. It woufd be good to persuade President Richard Nixon to issue an executive order to release the classified documents buried In the National Archives for 75 years (by President Lyndon Johnson's executive order), along with the Kennedy autopsy materials. . 4. It would be good to dismantle the Central Intelligence Agency which President Kennedy before he was assassinated said he 59 I would '1! to do -- and distribute its functions elsewhere, and in the meantime make it accountable for budgetary funds voted \by Congress. 5. It would be good to expose J. Edgar Hoover, to cell the attention of the public to his suppression of evidence and his failure to warn President Kennedy of the plot for as- sassinating him in Dallas, and to compel his resignation. The FBI knew about the plot well ahead of time -- through Oswald'S Nov. 20 phone call, and the Miami polices wnrning, at least. � What about an organization dealing with this sub- ject? -- There is one. As mentioned above, a con- siderable amount of tho new evident� �amen from the work of a group of researchers, who have interviewed many witnesser, examined many documents, and studied many of the photographs. This group of researchers is loosely coordinated by the National' Committee to Investigate Assassinations, which has an office in , Washington, D.C., and whose chairman is Bernard Fensterwald, Jr. He is a Washington attorney who a few years ago was the head of the legal staff as- sisting Senator Estes Kefauver in his investigation into organized crime. He was also Senator Edward Long's attorney in the administrative procedures sub-committee of the Government Operations Commit- tee. The NCTIA has been accumulating evidence, which is stored in a number of different places, and stands ready to cooperate with law enforcement agencies as well as Congress. The committee needs money, particularly for computerized correlation of the mass of evidence it has accumulated. The name and address are The National Committee to In- vestigate Assassinations, 927 15th St. N.W., Wash- ington, D.C. � What about the mysterious deaths of witnesses? -- One of the researchers who is a member of the committee is Penn Jones, Jr., Editor, Midlothian Mirror, Midlothian, Texas, who has been compiling and publishing evidence for over six years. He maintains a list of witnesses who "knew too much" and who have died unexplained deaths. There have been over 50 deaths among this group (according to his definition of it) in the time since November 22, 1963; the chance that that number of deaths is due to natural causes is much less than one out of a million millions. � Have any of the researchers been killed or threatened? -- No, not yet. In appraising the forces on each side of this issue, the great weight is still on the side of the American people, who have not yet been completely "taken over". In fact the capacity of the American people to deal with the misinformation and propaganda being told them through government publicity, government state- ments, and government commilssions seems to be stead- ily improving. The most recent examples are Songmy, Pueblo, Laos, and Cambodia. Besides some branches of the Federal government such as the CIA and FBI, only some of the police departments of the country (such as Dallas, Memphis, Chicago, and Los Angeles) have so far been "taken over" (in the sense of full cooperation with the suppression of evidence about assassination plotters and other political plots). There is a good chance that these police departments can be "taken back", provided we the people can see more clearly what is happening. There is hope.
