New film of JFK killing found
DENVER—An 8 mm color movie has been discovered that may provide new information on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
According to a story in the Denver Post, the film shows a clear view of the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza, where a second assassin may have been.
The newspaper called Dallas lawyer John Sigalos, who represents an amateur photographer who took the movie, told it the film might help, "shed light on the exact location of motorcycle policemen H.B. McLain, a crucial piece of evidence in one conspiracy theory."
The theory is based on the contention that McLain's motorcycle was near the car in which Kenny was riding, the Post said. Dallas police said last month a crash occurred on a bridge.
According to the Post, Sigalos said the movie was being "enhanced" to help pinpoint McClain's location. The newspaper also quoted the lawyer as saying efforts were being made to see whether the film showed any indication of a gunshot coming from the arrazy knoll.
The lawyer said Jack Daniels, who took the footage, contacted the FBI several weeks ago about the film, and it was shipped to Washington. Daniels he offered the film to the Dallas sheriff's office shortly after the assassination, but it was returned to him.

Soldiers join protesters in Iran
But Prime Minister Shaipour Bakkari held his ground, vowing he would not surrender power to a mob.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Hundreds of soldiers marched along with over a million other Iranians in Tehran yesterday in a show of support for an anti-shah revolutionary government.
State radio said more than one million people took part in the Tehran march in support of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khoumi's designation of a rival government headed by Mosel nationalist Bazargan.
Marchers in the capital and other Iranian cities were generally peaceful, but political violence flared in two areas.
IN GORGAN, on the Caspian Sea, nine persons were reported killed and 26 others wounded when troops opened fire on an Bakkhar protesters who were setting fire to banks, ships and other buildings, the state radio said.
Oposition spokesmen said that in the town of Koi, near the Turkish border, a group of mullahs, Moslem preachers, was attacked and badly beaten by a rival faction while in route to an opposition rally.
Khomeini, who returned to Iran last week after teaching the anti-shah movement from exile, wants the Bakhtiian government to resign, the monarchy to be abolished and a religiously oriented Islamic republic to be established.
THE WELL-DISCIPLINED marchers recited in ullison from slogan sheets: "Bazargan, Bazargan, you are our prime minister," and "Baktiar, Baktiar, you take orders from the U.S.A."
Among the marchers were more Iranian servicemen in uniform than had been seen before in demonstrations here, raising new questions about the loyalty of lower-ranking troops to the Bakhtiar government.
Khomiini spokesman said that between 2,000 and 3,000 soldiers took part. However, reporters on the scene counted only about a hundred.
Demonstrators stained five fatigue-clad soldiers on their shoulders, chanting, "The army must obey Bazargan," and the troops fired.
A Tehran newspaper published a photo purporting to show a throng of uniformed airmen saluting Khomeini outside his headquarters. Bakkari called the picture a fake account, but a Bazargan spokesman insisted it was authentic.
THE ALLEGIANCE of the armed forces is expected to be the key to a resolution of Iran's political crisis.
Most commanders are believed to be loyal to the Bakhtiar government, which was appointed by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi before he left Iran Jan. 16 for an indefinite stay abroad.

But some analysts say the military is unsure of the loyalty of the lower ranks and believes it cannot impose its will on Khomini's broad-based and powerful opposition movement.
Washington says it has been in touch with the Khomeini camp to find out its position on various issues. The Carter administration's support for Bakhtiar has become lukewarm in recent public statements.
Khomeini's forces claim the allegiance of up to half of the nation's 430,000-man armed forces.
