Plot 'heresay'?
NEW ORLEANS —(UPI)—A young insurance salesman who linked a prominent business executive with a plot to kill President Kennedy faced cross examination today by defense attorneys.
Perry Russo, 25, of Baton Rouge, La., testified during a preliminary hearing Tuesday that he heard Clay L. Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and pilot David W. Ferrie conspire to kill the President.
RUSSO'S TESTIMONY CAME on the opening day of a hearing to determine if Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison has sufficient evidence to hold and try Shaw on the conspiracy charge.
Russo apparently was the "confidential informer" Garrison said sat in on the purported assassination plot late in the summer of 1863 in New Orleans.
Russo said he learned of the plot after a party in Ferries's apartment in mid-September 1963.
RUSSO SAID HE MET Ferrie at a Civil Air Patrol meeting in Kenner, La., in 1960.
Russo testified he saw Oswald, Ferries and Shaw, whom he said he knew as "Clem Bertrand," on one occasion—the party at which Ferrie discussed assassination.

HE TESTIFIED that Ferrie told Shaw and Oswald that an attempt on the President's life should involve two or three persons.
Ferrie said one of the assassins would have to be sacrificed and the others should be "in the public eye" on the day of the assassination.

Only Shaw, of the alleged conspirators, is still alive. Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby after the assassination and Ferrie died in New Orleans of a brain hemorrhage Feb. 22.

Cong bomb U.S. airbase
SAIGON — (UPI) — Communist guerrillas bombarded the giant U.S. airbase at Da Nang with Russian-made rockets today. But virtually instant American retaliation chased away the Viet Cong and limited damage in the second assault on the post in 17 days.
U. S. spokesmen said the guerrillas fired 15 140 mm.
