State District Judge James E. Wright signed the temporary re straining order banning Oswald s widow, Marina Oswald Porter, her two children and Rose Hill Burial Park from conducting an exhumation until a full hearing within 10 days is held. Wright suggested a hearing Oct. 5 “provided that date and time meets with the agreement of all parties." Wright said he signed the temporary restraining order requested by Oswald’s older brother, Robert, “after careful study and consideration.” On Sept. 18, Porter agreed not to begin an exhumation until Sept. 22. Wright sought the voluntary five-day exhumation delay while he studied Robert Oswald’s re quest for an order against Porter, her children and the Rose Hill Bu rial Park, where Oswald’s grave is. Robert Oswald’s latest legal maneuvers to keep the grave closed came after an appeals court rebuked to his legal right to over rule the wishes of Oswald’s widow. “I think it would have a devas tating effect on my family if the body was exhumed,” Robert Oswald testified at that hearing. “My mental processes, frankly, are approaching the breaking point.” During cross-examination, Oswald acknowledged he did not know if the gravesite or the coffin itself had been tampered with since Kennedy’s accused killer was buried on Nov. 25, 1963. He testified he would suffer mental injury if the grave were opened. Attorneys for Porter ex tracted acknowledgment that he had not sought psychiatric or any professional help for his alleged mental anguish. Robert Oswald is appealing a five-page ruling issued Sept. 10 by the Court of Appeals, dissolving Wright’s 1980 injunction prevent ing the opening of the grave. Wright’s 1980 injunction ban ned British author Michael Eddowes and “all persons in ac tive concert or participation with him from seeking to exhume and re-autopsy the remains of Lee Harvey Oswald.” Porter has filed her own lawsuit against her former brother-in-law, charging Oswald’s body had been illegally removed from the grave and either cremated or secreted in a mausoleum. The appeals court rejected Robert Oswald’s claim that he could veto the exhuinat ing “a surviving brotherfl ceased does not 1 control the remains otlj ceased brother’s) there is a survivin or parents of the deceasd| The ruling was Ed victory in numerous a receive legal permissioal the Oswald grave.

The law firm — Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld — is help ing RSR in its fight against a $114,000 fine levied earlier this year by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This week, the company was also fined for failing to provide medical removal protection payments to workers who were shifted to low er-paying jobs or fired because of the high levels of lead in their blood. Tests by the city health depart ment and the federal Environ mental Protection Agency dis closed high lead contamination in soil around three lead smelters in Dallas, including the RSR plant.
