air, which Robert said was un-
sual for their family, and he
ppeared to be under a strain.
The two brothers did not
tact often after that. Robert
swald testified that the last
inie he saw Lee before the as-
assination was at Thanksgiv-
ng in 1962.
When Lee Oswald was arrest-

ion, Robert visited hihl in jail.
Ii hey were separated by a
oundproof window and talked

ervision.
Robert Oswald asked his
rothcr then whether lie had
ommitted the crime. Lee de-
ed it, and Robert Oswald told

ithout much force and said he
ad no basis for the belief ex-.
ept his brother's statement.
Mr. Oswald did not subscribe
Union from October, 1959, to
May, 1962. He gave up his Unit-

A panel at Columbia Univer-!
city agreed yesterday that the
handling of the Oswald case:
pointed up a ronfliet betweeiv
the public's right to know and'
an accused person's right to a
fair trial.
Participating in the foruni,!
moderated by Prof. Marvin'
Frankel of the Law School, were'
Osmund K. Frannkel, general'
counsel to the American Civil
Liberties Union, Louis M. Loeb,'
general counsel to The, New
York Tinics, and Stuart Updill.r?.
general counsel to the Da il,y
News.
The three panelists ai i e d
that an excessive amount of evi-
dence had been disclosed to the!
press by the Dallas District At-!
torney and police department.
These disclosures, Mr. Fraenkel
said, have led many people to
question whether Oswald, had'
he lived, could have had a fain
trial anywhere,"
