THE BATTALION
MONDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1978
Senate finds 64 board uninformed
Assassination ‘loose ends’ remain
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House
Assassinations Committee has
wound up a month of often dramatic
public hearings on the murder of
John F. Kennedy by reserving its
conclusions that are not expected to
differ much from the Warren Com
mission report of 14 years ago.
That commission found that Lee
Harvey Oswald, an unstable ex-
Marine artd former defector to the
Soviet Union, alone killed Kennedy
in Dallas, Nov. 22, 1963, and in turn
was killed two days later by Jack
Ruby, a small-time nightclub owner
who died of cancer several years
later while still in custody.
What the committee hearings did
reveal was the amount of informa
tion the CIA and FBI withheld from
the Warren Commission, conspi
racy leads that were not followed
up, and quesffons on motivation and
other matters that probably will re
main forever unresolved.
Judge Burt W. Griffin of Cleve
land, an assistant counsel on the
Warren Commission and the last
witness to testify Thursday, told
committee Chairman Louis Stokes,
D-Ohio, “you will soon become the
target of those who attacked the.
Warren Commission” no matter
what the panel concludes.”
Stokes said one or two more hear
ings may be held, that the investiga
tion is continuing with “all the evi
dence not yet in,” and that the
committee s conclusions will be
aired in public hearings in De
cember.
“I recognize there have been
loose ends we hope to be able to tie
down in our final report,” he said.

KGB had had “no interest” in Os
wald during the American’s 2V2
years in the Soviet Union. Helms
said he never “signed off on a
clearance for Nosenko, who now
works as a $32,000-a-year consultant
for the CIA.
Perhaps the most intriguing
thought was left by former CIA Di
rector Richard Helms who said that
14 years later he still is not sure of
the “bona fides” of Soviet KGB sec
ret agent Yuri Nosenko.
Nosenko defected to the CIA in
1964, two months after the Kennedy
If Nosenko were a “disinforma
tion” agent sent to mislead the U.S.
government. Helms was asked,
wouldn’t that mean that Oswald
could have been recruited by the
KGB?
“By implication,” the former
spymaster replied.

receives acupuncture
United Press International
HONOLULU — Fifi, a 200-
pound gorilla paralyzed from the
neck down, is undergoing
acupuncture treatment for spinal in
juries suffered while cavorting with
her male roommate.
Dr. Tak Kwon Chan, a veterina
rian and a licensed acupuncturist,
said Friday, that he hopes to save
Fifi from permanent paralysis.
Fifi was injured earlier last month
at the Honolulu Zoo while playing
with Congo, who weighs 460
pounds. Zoo officials said Congo had
been rough with Fifi before, and her
injuries probably occurred when he
struck or pushed her. Fifi was found
unconscious on the her cage floor.
She has regained consciousness
and appears to be in good spirits de
spite the severity of her injury, offi
cials said.
Dr. Calvin Lum, the zoo vet
erinarian, said Fifi suffered damage
to her spinal cord near the neck
area. Therapists have been exercis
ing her arms and legs, he said.
Dr. Chan, who volunteered to
help Fifi, said his needles have been
successful with horses, cows, pigs
and dogs in Taiwan, where he con
ducted medical research.
During a 30-minute treatment
session at a veterinary hospili
Chan inserted 10 four-inch 8

each hand, one on the back
