While an angry country re- acted with a flood of telegrams to Mayor Earl Cabell suggest- ing among other things that Dallas be burned: to the 'ground, police ended 10 hours of inten- sive interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald and then booked the 24- year-old New Orleans native on the murder charge.

They rushed to' the sixth floor to find the rifle near the staircase. They also found spent shells and the remains of a chicken dinner, Later, some three milés away Constable Tippitt, hearing a de- scription of the wanted man on his car radio, stopped Oswald for questioning. Police and! a witness said Oswald walked over to the car and Tippett emerged from the door, They said Oswald suddenly opened fire with a snub-nosed .38 pistol.

There was uncertainty about the future of U.S. relations with the rest of the world as a re- sult of the death of the top leader in the Western alliance. There also was speculation) about the 1964 U.S. presidential! campaign. Johnson, however, has made} statements backing the major} policy lines developed by Ken- nedy. Johnson has defended the lim- ited nuclear test ban and backed the proposed sale of U.S. wheat to Russia. He also advo- cated creation of a North At- lantic Treaty Organization nu- clear force as advocated by, Kennedy. But a critical question was seen in what attitude Premier Khrushchey would take-- whether he would seek to pro- mote friendly relations with the new president or decide the death of Kennedy provided an opportune time for new testing of the strength of the Western alliance.
