Kennedy, faces cross-examina. tion today by defence lawyers. Counsel for Clay L. Shaw, the wealthy businessman arrested by district Attorney Jim Garri- son on a charge of conspiring with Oswald and David W. Fer- rie to murder Kennedy, put off their questions Tuesday until they could study scholastic and business records of Russo. Russo, 25, an insurance sales- man from Baton Rouge, told the court he was in Ferrie's apart- ment here in September, 1963, & and listened to the three men conspire to kill the president and escape. : But two weeks ago, shortly after Ferrie died of what the coroner termed natural causes and Garrison maintained was suicide, Russo told a reporter from New Orleans television station WDSU that Ferrie never mentioned Oswald's name to him, adding: "I had never heard of Oswald until on televi- sion. ..ahh... the assassina- tion." DETAILED PLOT Russo gave details in court of the meeting in Ferrie's apart- ment saying the plot involved sacrificing one man to allow the others to make a getaway, a possible flight to Cuba, diver- sionary shooting and '"'triangu- lation of crossfire." Russo told the court that Fer- rie proposed flying the getaway plane into Mexico to refuel for a flight to Cuba. Russo said Shaw interrupted to say that as soon as the shots were fired "the world would know about it," and there would be no way to get the plane out of Mexico. Russo quoted Oswald as telling Shaw: "Shut up. Leave him (Ferrie) alone. He knows what he's talking about. He's the pilot." Russo has said he did not get in touch with Garrison until two days after Ferrie's death--when he saw a newspaper picture of Ferrie--the same date on which Garrison announced he had "solved" the case.

By PAT CARNEY Edwin Hodges "Ted" Walk- er, president of General Motors of Canada Ltd., was still pro- testing provisions of the U.S.- Canada auto pact in the letter committing his company to it. He objected to the produc- tion commitments imposed on the Canadian auto companies they would be difficult to meet if demand for automobiles de- clined. This of course, is what has happened, precipitating a thorny problem for both the companies and the govern- ment, If you ask Ted Walker why he signed the agreement when he anticipated the problem, he crashes his fist on his desk and roars: "Because I was a damn fool. We were absolutely stupid." This isn't true, because the four leading Canadian auto- Makers are by no means stupid.

There are some things you should know about Ted Walker before assessing his views on the stalled trade pact. First, although he was born in Ham- ilton, he's been a GM man since he graduated from Gen- eral Motors Institute in Flint, Mich., in 1938, and GM men are notoriously hostile to gov- ernment bureaucracy. Secondly, he's. a production man -- he can make a rear axle assembly sound like a work of art -- and production anywhere else.
