Kennedy murder files
missing 2,400 photos
Hippies boi

for
SACRAMENTO (AP) — More
than 2,400 photographs from the as
sassination of Robert Kennedy were
unaccountably destroyed nearly 20
years ago, officials said Tuesday as
they opened to the public for the
first time the long-secret police files.
ing the 1968 assassination because of
the destroyed material.
“I’ve never seen a file quite this
large,” archivist John Burns said.
“This is a very unusual murder file
(but) I’m not absolutely satisfied that
any questions are answered.”
There was no explanation in the
50,000 pages of documents why the
pictures were burned or why such
items as ceiling tiles and doorjambs
from the scene of Kennedy’s death
were destroyed in the months fol
lowing the assassination.
He said the biggest surprise was
the amount of evidence destroyed,
including the photographs, which
were burned three months after the
assassintation. Their subjects are un
known.
Burns predicted the evidence will
occupy researchers for years.
The gaps in the material drew im
mediate criticism.
“Someone should ask the police
why they destroyed 2,400 photo
graphs in the most important case
they’ve ever examined,” Gregory
Stone, a political scientist at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and a longtime
student of the case, said.
California Secretary of State
March Fong Eu released the docu
ments, including interviews with
4,000 witnesses and 2,500 photo
graphs from the Los Angeles Police
Department files.
The state’s chief archivist said the
documents were unlikely to answer
the numerous questions surround-
“What I didn’t know, and I’m told
others didn’t know, was that so much
evidence was destroyed,” he said.
He also said he could not explain
why evidence was destroyed, noting
police were careful at the outset be
cause they didn’t want “another Dal
las,” where Kennedy’s brother, Pres
ident John F. Kennedy, was killed.
The documents released include
an admission by police that they de
stroyed key evidence, including ceil
ing tiles, a door jamb and thousands
of photographs taken in the Ambas
sador Hotel kitchen where Kenned)
was shot on June 5, 1968.
An official record in the evidence
showed that 2,410 photographs
were burned on Aug. 21, 1968. It
gives no reason.

OSHA workers

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal

mittee Tuesday they were instructed
in September to “generate numbers”
through sham inspections emphasiz

quality of the nation’s workplaces.
tration boosted its inspection totals
last year by more than 2,000.
“Because the office was short on
numbers for the year, they wanted
compliance officers to generate dou
ble the number of OSHA 1 (inspec
tion) reports,” Dr. John Barry, an in
dustrial hygienist in the agency’s
Philadelphia regional office, testi
fied Tuesday.
Barry and other field inspectors
stationed in Texas described in the
second day of hearings by the Senate
Labor Committee how the Occupa

The committee, chaired by Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., has
been preparing the hearings for
more than a year. None of the seven
Republicans on the panel have at

Before the first w-itness was called
Monday, Kennedy vowed to “show
that the decision to let workers die . .

fore the panel Monday estimated
that 50,000 to 70,000 Americans die
annually from occupational-related
diseases that could be prevented.
Kennedy repeated his charges
Tuesday, saying that career OSHA
employees generate misleading data
that give t he appearance of zeal as a
cover for neglect.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel

teen-age Israeli hikers in a West

Army officials said for the first
