New Orleans Death Hushes
Informants On Conspiracy
NEW ORLEANS, La. <A>> _
David W. Ferrie’s death created
fear Thursday among some peo
ple who claimed to have inform
ation relating to Ferric on Lee
Harvey Oswald in connection with
the assassination of President
John F. Kennedy.
Ferric, labeled by Dist. Atty.
Jim Garrison as a prime inform
ant in his investigation of the as
sassination, was found dead in
bed Wednesday. A preliminary
autopsy report attributed death
to a brain hemorrhage. A coron
er’s report Thursday ruled out
murder, leaving suicide, natural
causes or accidental death as poss
ibilities.
A WOMAN who was about to
give The Associated Press de
tails she said related to Oswald’s
activities in New Orleans was
frightened into silence. She war
ily greeted a reporter at her home.
“You see that,” she said, di
recting attention to a snubnosed
.38 caliber revolver placed on a
nearby chair. “I don’t say any
thing might happen to me. But I
just won’t talk to you. I have
nothing more to say.”
Another person on the peri
phery of the case, David Lewis,
bus station baggage clerk,
dropped out of sight Wednesday
night. Neighbors said the Lewis
family had suddenly left town.
Lewis had told newsmen he fear
ed for the safety of his wife and
four children because of his
knowledge of a possible conspi
racy to kill Kennedy.
HOWEVER, Lewis appeared at
the district attorney’s office
Thursday.
Before going into Garrison's of
fice he said: “I'm not worried
about myself, but I am about my
family. Maybe there has been
too much said about me already,
MmluArt Supply
ItS $*CcAkp
but they know my name and know
what I look like and they know
where I work, so that’s it.”
A former private investigator,
Lewis claims to have known
Oswald, the man named by the
Warren Commission as Kennedy’s
assassin.
Coroner Nicholas Chetta ruled
out murder as a possible cause
of Ferrie’s death.

Economics Staff
Hires Professor
From Missouri
Dr. Russsell Thompson, current
ly on the University of Missouri
faculty, will join the Economics
Department this fall.
A&M Economics Department
head Dr. M. L. Greenhut said Dr.
Thompson will be associate pro
fessor of economics and mathema
tics at A&M, and will teach ad
vanced courses in econometrics
and mathematics.
Thompson earned his Ph.D. in
economics and a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in business administration
at the University of Minnesota.
He recently directed a National
Science Foundation Institute in
the Mathematics of Optimization
at Purdue University. Earlier,
Thompson was a NSF Faculty-
Science Fellow in mathematics at
Purdue.
Among Dr. Thompson’s public
ations are mathematical articles
in the “American Economic Re
view” and “Metroeconomica.”
Thompson also is lead author of a
monograph, “Computational Me
thods: Regression Analysis, Two-
Stage Least Squares, Linear and
Integer Programming.”

violence,” he said. “There is no
evidence of murder.”
The Orleans Parish coroner said
the specific cause of death was an
aneurysm — a small sacular
aneurysm of a cerebral artery.
He said such aneurysms frequent
ly rupture, spilling blood into the
brain. He likened this to the fai
lure of an inner tube with a weak
spot.
A large quantity of pills for
vascular disease was found in
Ferrie’s apartment. But the cor
oner said even an overdose of
these could not cause an aneu
rysm.
CHETTA FIRST fixed the time
of death as Tuesday evening. Af
ter talking Thursday with George
Lardner Jr., Washington Post re
porter who said he left Ferrie at
4 a.m. Wednesday, the coroner
said he could not “rule out the
possibility Ferrie might have died
as late as 4 a.m.”
The coroner said the death
would remain unclassified until a
toxicological report was complet
ed in about a week.
Garrison termed the death an
apparent suicide. Chetta said
there was nothing to indicate a
suicide except an unsigned, un
dated typewritten note saying
death was a “sweet prospect.”
Tests showed that the note,
found on the dining room table,
was typed on a typewriter in
Ferrie’s cluttered apartment.
GARRISON, who created inter
national headlines by launching
his own investigation into the
assassination, described Ferrie’s
death as a temporary setback to
his investigation. He said he felt
Ferrie was on the brink of produc
ing significant information. Nev
ertheless, he said, he remained
optimistic that his investigation
would proceed and produce results.

‘Inner Space 9 Engineering Important
By Lt. Comd. Don Walsh, USN
Oceanography Graduate Student
No salute to engineering would
be complete without some men
tion of manifold application of its
arts to the world ocean environ
ment. While the scope of effort
in this area is miniscule com
pared to current aerospace tech
nology there is no doubt that it
is only a matter of time until the
two are comparable.
The world ocean covers nearly
71 per cent of the planet which we
call “Earth” and we talk confi
dently of landing on the moon by
the end of this decade but the fact
is that we know relatively more
about the moon than we do about
the three-fourths of our home
planet covered by water.
Fortunately, the past decade
has seen a recognition of this
problem and the multiscience of
oceanography has made great ad
vances in this period. But you
cannot have “instant science” and
it will be years before we have
adequate scientist personnel to
explore and analyze this vast
medium.
A MORE serious problem is the
development of a technological
base which will provide applica
tion for the knowledge that the
oceanographers gain. The ocean
engineer will be the man who
translates environmental infor
mation into useful tools of com
merce and national defense in
the ocean environment. Unfortu
nately, many have not recognized
that implementing our shortcom
ings in ocean sciences is not the
same as developing a capability
to apply this knowledge to prac
tical problems in utilizing this
medium.
The mineral resources in the

W. J. Weems of Abilene, presi

dition, the oceans will be the

ually draw the bulk of our fresh
water via saline conversion pro
cesses.
intendents and city engineers us
ually head the list of registrants.
Another feature of the first ses
sion will be a slide presentation,
“The Murder of Silence,” pres
ented by the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department.
Ralph E. Fuhrman, executive
secretary of the Water Pollution

Technical sessions are set
throughout the week.
Beat t.u.
ALL OF THESE applications
involve the translation of the sci
entists’ basic knowledge of the
environment and its processes in
to efficient, profitable operations.
This translation is the job of the
technologist, the ocean engineer.
At present there are less than a
half-dozen institutions in the
United States that offer degree
programs in ocean engineering.
This is not to say that we do
not have any such people today
for those few who are currently
working as ocean engineers have
learned their trade in the best
of all schools . . . experience. But
it must be recognized that both
the “apprenticeship” and the
“converted oceanographer” meth
ods of developing ocean engineers
are not very efficient and that
formal education is the best way
to develop the badly needed hu
man resources in this area.
TEXAS A&M University which
has the third oldest school of
oceanography in the United
States, has offered some course
work in ocean engineering since
the founding of the Department
of Oceanography in 1949. Cur
rently the Department of Civil
Engineering is offering a full de
gree program in this area in a
program that is geared for rapid
growth as faculty and facilities
become available.
