CIA, FBI hid evidence committee report says
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate intelligence committee said Wednesday the fate of former Trump administration evidence the Warren Commission has substantially affected the course of the investigation" into whether there was a conspiracy to kill President John F. Kenney.
The committee stressed that it "has not uncovered any evidence sufficient to justify a conclusion that there was a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy."
But the panel said that failure of the CIA and FBI to pursue the possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination "impeaches the process" which led the Warren Commission to conclude that Lee Harvey Owald acted alone.
The committee outlined these leads which it said were never adequately investigated.
—The possibility that Cube's Fidel Castro ordered Kennedy's assassination in retaliation for a CIA plot against his life at the Nov. 21, 1963 slaying in Dallas:
"A report that on the evening of the day Kennedy was killed a Cubana airlines flight from Mexico City to Cuba was delayed five hours awaiting the arrival of an unidentified passenger who boarded the plane without passing through customs:
—The "strange travel" of "a Cuban-American" who an FBI inform claimed was involved in the Kennedy assassination have been in indirect contact with Oswald.
Sen. Richard Schweker, R-Pa., who headed the committee's investigation, said other "interesting leads" had been left out of the study, not to岛earapearate further investigation.
Schweiker accused the CIA and FBI of "a cover-up" and said "there is no longer any reason to have faith in the Warren Composition of the Kennedy assassination."
But committee chairman Frank Church, D-Idaho, said that "whether there was a conscious cover-up or not has not yet been determined" and added that he was not yet prepared to call for a full-scale reopening of the assassination investigation.
The report said that senior government officials "wanted the investigation completed promptly and all conspiracy rumors dispelled." According to the report, within 14 hours of Kennedy's death the FBI had filed an indictment against Oswald and Oswald alone and within weeks issued a report concluding that Oswald had been the sole assassin.
FBI director J. Edgar Hover "perceived the Warren Commission as an adversary" that might criticize the bureau's monitoring of Oswald's activities before the assassination and its investigation of the killing itself, the report said.
Hover concealed from the commission the fact that 17 FBI agents had been disciplined for their failure to recognize Oswald as a security threat. The commission also was never told about the FBI's involvement in the note which Oswald had delivered to bureau offices in Dallas several days before the Kennedy killing.
The report strongly criticized the CIA for failing to inform the commission of the potential significance of the 1963 plot attack on the CIA, named AM-LASH, in a plot to kill Castro.
According to the report, CIA agents were in direct contact with AM-LASH, and one senior agency official told him in October 1963 that he was the personal representative of the President's brother, then Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy.
PHILADLPHIA (AP)—An Allegheny Airlines DC9 jet plane attempting to land during a thunderstorm broke in half on a flight from New York to Delphia International Airport westward.
There were no fatalities. Officials said 44 persons were taken to Methodist Hospital with neck and back injuries. At least 10 others were taken to St. Agnes Hospital.
The plane was Flight 121, carrying 10 passengers and four crew members from Paris to New York. The airline airport in Windsor Locks, Comm., to Memphis, Tenn., with a stop here. It

Jack King, Allegheny vice president, said 99 of the passengers were evacuated. One person, evidently seriously injured, and two others to receive medical attention, King said.
The pilot and copilot were trapped in the cockpit for a time and apparently suffered back injuries. Witnesses who were re-arrested with their backs strapped to supports.
The plane was removed from the runway about 1½ hours after the crash. The airport
O-zone gets drain system
Many persons may have found themselves facing an unusually long walk to classes this week when they were turned down from their regular parking spaces in O-Zone.
Contractors have begun to install a new drainage system at the south end of O-Zone, Harold Blitch, of Buildings and Grounds, said yesterday.
Bilttch said the new system would correct a run off problem in the parking lot by channeling water into storm sewers through a pump. He said the addition of islands for plants, he said.
Currently, overflow from rain runs into the streets or collects in the southeast corner of the lot and damages its surface. A series of underground pipes will control the drainage from the lot and redirect the flow. Biltch said
"Hopefully, when we get an inch of rain we won't have a勾奶 washer in that area! I think you can just buy a cloth."
The construction involves about two-thirds of the O-Zone lot. People with parking permits for this area are being reassigned to other parking lots in Allen Field House. Fee-parkers are still
Visitors miss spirit of '76
Excessive commercialism flowing from the Bicentennial seems to be a source of irritation not exclusive to Americans. Many of the foreign students at the University of Kansas feel that commercialism is drowning out the real spirit of the celebration.
"They tend to overcommercialize, but the substance of it is good," Chunchuan Rujanwacha, Thailand graduate student, said. "It's a great job and an increased love for the United States."
"All I have seen is the commercialization. There is something of more substance behind the Bicentennial that should be shown," Kamil Hasabi, Jordan, said yesterday."The celebration should be exhibited in a different way."
Some students have ignored the commercialism, Jose Rodriguez Applied English student and teacher.
SUMIO WATANABE, Japan graduate student, said he felt businesses were profiting too much from the Bicentennial, including Japanese businesses.
Anand Burman, India graduate student,
said, "It started out as a fun thing and not
too commercial, but when they put out
bicentennial toilet paper, that's too much."
"I just see all of the advertising and overlook it," he said.
Several students had mixed feelings about the Bicentennial.
"I don't have any feelings at all for this special day," Helen Lee, Taiwan graduate and doctoral student, said.
The bicentennial celebration wasn't criticized by all foreign students. Some said it was good for the United States.
RAZA RIAHINEJAD, Iran graduate student, said he wasn't going to participate in the celebration because he didn't feel he was a part of it.
"I think it is a very unique opportunity for the American people to regain that national closeness that was lost by the Vietnam war. Davis P. K. Lau, Taiwan graduate student," The celebration is a type of social education for the people to renew an identity."
Ruwajenwich said, "The American people are very nationalistic and they have lots of resources."
"I THINK the Bicentennial will help the younger generation to learn and love this country by seeing the older generation's traditions and customs."
Bilch said other campus parking lots wouldn't be resurfaced.
Some students said they endorsed commercialism and were enjoying the celebra-
admitted to the lot but are directed to the west section.
"I don't think the commercialism is nonsense," Zulfi Saylawal, Pakistan sophomore, said. "I have seen a lot of apart in this country, but not a lot in Lawrence itself. I myself plan to celebrate along with the Americans on the Fourth of July."

"From what this costs, we're not beating the others," Bliitch said. "That's why only a part of the lot is being done now. The other lots will lust be patched as usual."
Work on the lot should be completed by the end of July, Blich said.
