[[ posted on alt.conspiracy.jfk in June '96 by bhart@cyberramp.net (Michael Parks) ]]======================================================================-------------------- A CBS INVESTIGATION --------------------------On Sunday, 6/25/67, CBS aired a four part special on the assassinationof JFK titled 'A CBS News Inquiry: The Warren Report.' The one hourshows ran for four consecutive nights. It was hosted by Walter Cronkitewith Dan Rather and Eric Sevareid.The first show, Sunday 6/25/67 tried to answer the question: "Did LeeHarvey Oswald shoot President Kennedy?" FBI photo expert, L.L.Shaneyfelt had told the Warren Commission (WC) that he could notidentify the Mannlicher-Carcano (M-C) rifle that Oswald allegedly shotKennedy with from the famous backyard photographs that depicted LeeHarvey Oswald (LHO) holding this weapon. But, on the CBS special,Walter Cronkite said an independent "professional photographer and photoanalyst" had studied the backyard picture originals and the negative. Hefelt the rifle belonged to LHO by identifying it as the same rifle in thepictures. This expert used by CBS was Lawrence Schiller, a formerbusiness agent of Jack Ruby.CBS tried to prove LHO had carried this rifle into the Texas SchoolBook Depository (TSBD) within a brown paper bag. There were only twowitnesses to this event and both claimed the bag was too small to carry thedisassemble rifle. This bag was made from brown wrapping paper found inthe TSBD. One of these witnesses, Linnie May Randle, said she had seenLHO with a bag made of "heavy brown paper." Both CBS and the WCsaid she had stated LHO carried "a heavy brown bag."To prove that LHO was on the sixth floor during the time of theshooting, CBS used the testimony of Charles Givens. They said he was"The last man known to see Lee Harvey Oswald before the assassination."CBS made no mention of Carolyn Arnold who stated she had seen LHO onthe first floor only minutes before the assassination. This was at a time theWC had witnesses who saw the shooter already on the sixth floor.CBS then concluded that Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman, (whoalong with Deputies Eugene L. Boone and Roger Craig, found a rifle onthe sixth floor and identified it as a 7.65mm Mauser), had been mistakenabout the type and make of the weapon. All three officers had a long lookat the rifle and Weitzman had read the name that was stamped into themetal. Several other lawmen also saw this rifle as a Mauser.To wrap up the first night's showing, CBS concluded LHO could haveshot JFK.The second night, CBS went over the autopsy and where the shots camefrom.The third night, Tuesday, 6/27/67, CBS looked into the killing of Dallaspoliceman, Jefferson Davis Tippit. They interviewed police dispatcher,Murray Jackson. He had supposedly sent Tippit to central Oak Cliff, on11/22/63. Jackson also said he had sent another patrol car there too. Thiswas driven by officer R.C. Nelson. What CBS did not state has moreimpact than what they did say. They did not tell the audience that no otherpolice cars were given specific orders at that time and that Nelson wasreally in Dealey Plaza. This casts doubts on the police broadcast that sentTippit to Oak Cliff. CBS also failed to tell the audience that Jacksonignored two calls from Tippit at 1:08, only seconds before he was killed.CBS presented two witnesses to the Tippit shooting, Ted Callaway andDomingo Benavides. When Benavides testified before the WC, he statedhe had told the police on 11/22/63 that he could not identify LHO as thekiller. When the WC asked him if he had anything else to add, "He testifiedthat the picture of Oswald which he saw on television bore a resemblanceto the man that shot officer Tippit." While on the CBS program,Benavides now identified LHO with "No doubt at all."The WC had presented the testimony of FBI firearms expert CortlandtCummingham in which he stated the bullets recovered from the body ofTippit and other bullets he had test fired, could not be traced back to thealleged revolver LHO was arrested with. The WC then used the testimonyof an Illinois police expert who stated one of the Tippit bullets couldpossible be traced back to the revolver. CBS only told the audience aboutthe police expert and not the FBI expert.To close out the third program, Dan Rather said of the shots LHOsupposedly made from the sixth floor, "It was an easy shot...a much easiershot than even it looks in our pictures."The fourth and final segment of the CBS special was "Could AmericaBelieve the Warren Report." They presented several witnesses that tried toshow the American public as conspiracy-minded and tried to lay a guilt tripon anyone who had doubts about the government's findings.The heart of the CBS special was four tests they ran. Test One was ofthe single bullet theory (sbt) which yeilded the Magic Bullet. The WCtests were done by Dr. Alfred G. Oliver. He fired through substances thatrepresented JFK's neck, Connally's chest, wrist and thigh. The magic bulletsupposedly passed through the first three body parts to become lodged inthe last, Connally's thigh. Oliver found that no one bullet could passthrough more than one of the substances. Also, each test left the test bulletmore damaged than the magic bullet was.Now, CBS fired through four substances that were of the same thicknessand density as the human body parts. JFK's neck was a block of gelatinwith 20% solution. Connally's chest was also a block of gelatin withnothing in it to represent his broken rib. A block of gelatin with a piece ofmasonite of the same thickness and density of Connally's wrist and anotherblock of gelatin for his thigh were also used. Many of the bullets fired intothis mix became lodged in the masonite. None made it through to thefourth block, Connally's thigh. Then, CBS said this proved the sbt.What CBS failed to tell the audience was from how far away they hadfired into the gelatin blocks. Later, one CBS official said this distance was50 feet. The WC felt the distance traveled by the shot from the sixth floorwas 180 feet. The FBI had noticed from their tests that more velocity waslost by the bullet just traveling this 180 feet than was lost going through thegelatin blocks and goat meat they used to represent JFK's neck.Furthermore, they saw the bullet loose more velocity in the 180 foot tripthan it did going through both JFK's neck and Connally's wrist combined!!!Also, CBS failed to show the audience the shape the bullets were in aftertheir test firings. The FBI tests for the WC showed their bullets comingout flattened on the nose. The magic bullet had no such damage.Test Two was on the rifle. This was held at the H.P. White BallisticsLaboratory near Belaire, Maryland. They had 11 expert riflemen fire froma tower that was about the same height as the sixth floor of the TSBD.They fired at a moving target that was on a narrow gauge rail car. Thetarget traveled away from the marksmen at a steady 11 mph. It should benoted that the WC said the limousine was going 11.2 mph and its driversaid 12 to 15 mph. Also, the WC said the limousine, once on Elm Streetwent as slow as 2.5 mph and up to 17 mph just before the head shot. CBSdid not say where they came up with the slower speed, but it went to theadvantage of the shooters.CBS did state their course matched Dealey Plaza but failed to tell theaudience that their rail track was a straight path while Elm Street curvedthrough the plaza. This was another plus for their marksmen.The 11 marksmen (3 Maryland state policemen, 3 White lab employees,a weapons engineer named Howard Donahue, a ballistics technician, 2sportsmen and an ex-paratrooper just back from Vietnam) were allowed totest fire the rifle before the tower shooting in an underground 150 footrange. Then, CBS stated none of their marksmen were familiar with therifle.The marksmen took turns firing clips of 3 shells each from the tower.CBS did not use the same rifle LHO supposedly used and it appears theyused a better rifle than he had. This can be seen by the 11/27/63 tests ofFBI expert Robert Frazier. In the FBI re-enactment for the WC, he andtwo other experts, Charles Killion and Courtland Cummingham each firethe REAL rifle at a target 15 feet away. Each placed their shots high andto the right on the stationary target. The same day, Frazier tried a speedtest without aiming at the stationary target and managed to get off 3 shotsin 4.8 seconds and in 4.6 seconds.Later, in March, 1964, Frazier helped the army run their test at theAberdeen Proving Grounds. This test was supervised by Roland Simmonsand used three marksmen, Miller, Stanley and Hendrix. They fired the realrifle from a 30 foot tower, half that of the sixth floor and at a stationarytarget. Miller got off three shots with 2.3 seconds between shots.Frazier said, "4.6 seconds is firing this weapon as fast as this bolt willoperate" at a stationary target. This time allowed for no aiming of theweapon, controlled breathing and slowly squeezing the trigger. This testwas load, fire, load, fire, load fire.Now, when CBS tested their weapon, one marksman got off 3 shots in4.1 seconds. It appears their rifle was not as worn as the one LHO hadbecause of the better times.Hoover said the "telescopic sight could not be properly aligned with thetarget, since the sight reached the limit of its adjustment before reachingaccurate alignment." CBS said they used the same make/model of scopeand had it only "slightly off."To make the CBS test even more inaccurate, their marksmen wereallowed to test fire the weapon with the non-aligned scope. They,therefore could see how to compensate for this error. LHO was notallowed this luxury before he supposedly killed JFK.What CBS did not tell the audience was that they had test fired theirweapon before the TV special. On 1/31/67, at the same White range, theyhad rifle expert Col. Edward B. Crossman fire six times, three shots each.This test proved no match for the times and accuracy attributed to LHO.Then, CBS set up the 11 man crew. All they had to do was find one manout of the 12 tested to meet the requirements and prove it could be done.In other words, if one person in the world could do it, LHO could also.To recap all this, the CBS marksmen had:1) a rifle with a quicker action2) a better sighted scope3) a target traveling in a straight line4) practice firing with the weapon5) a target on a steady speed6) a somewhat larger target due to the slower speed of the target7) no half window to fire out of like on the sixth floor8) no thick window sill to lean out over to fire9) most importantly, time to sight in on the first short before taking it.CBS also gave their marksmen more time, as we shall see in their Test#3.CBS then reported: "Altogether the 11 volunteer marksmen made 37attempts to fire 3 shots at a moving target. Seventeen of those attemptshad to be called 'no time', because of trouble with the rifle." (No timemeant that the target went outside the shooting area before all the shotswere fired.) These 17 'no time' shots were not figured into their averagetime for 3 shots. CBS never even said where the shots that hit the targetwere placed on this target. But, they went on to claim 3 shots in 5.6seconds could be achieved with a moving target.The best of their marksmen was Howard Donahue. He got off 3 hitswithin 4.8 seconds on his third try. He alone got three hits in one shootingfrom the tower. When he achieved this time, he had 2.5 seconds betweenthe second and third shots. Several other of the CBS marksmen got 3shots within 5.6 seconds, but none with the 2.5 seconds between shots 2and 3. Furthermore, none of the other marksmen that got the 3 shots in at5.6 seconds did so on their first attempt. But, they claimed LHO did justthat.Test Three was of the camera Zapruder made his now famous film of theassassination. CBS used the work of University of California physicist LuisAlvarez and "expert photo analyst" Charles Wyckoff to tell when the shotswere fired on 11/22/63 through studying the Z-film. Wyckoff saw blurringat frames 190, 227 and 318 and felt these were from Zapruder jerking hiscamera as a response to the sound of gunfire. He then concluded thatshots were fired at frames 185/186, 222/223 and 313. Frame 186 waswhere the FBI and Secret Service had determined a 1/18 second break inthe foliage of the oak tree in front of the TSBD could have allowed a shotto be taken. They discovered this during their 5/24/64 Dealey Plaza re-enactment. They noted that from frames 166 to 209 this same tree blockeda sixth floor view of Elm Street..CBS agreed with Wyckoff's findings and said the first shot was at frame186 whereas the WC felt it was more likely at frame 210 when thelimousine came out from under the tree. So, they concluded the shots werefired at frames 186, (a miss), 222/223, (the magic bullet) and 313, (thehead shot). What they failed to tell the audience was that this sameblurring could be seen at frames 195, 203, 290, 331 and not as pronouncedin several other frames.The big thing CBS missed (?) was that as Zapruder was panning out tokeep the camera focused on JFK, he had to turn to his right. Thismovement may have caused blurring of the film. Also, he was not a youngman and had Marilyn Sitzman, his receptionist standing behind him forsupport. (It seemed he had a fear of heights.) Any jerking she did couldalso be reflected on the film.A shot at frame 186 causes timing problems because there was no timeallowed for aiming, controlling the breath and slowly squeezing the trigger.ALSO, THE ASSASSIN WOULD HAVE TO KNOW FOR SURE THATJFK WOULD APPEAR IN THIS TINY OPENING. Odds are, JFK wouldnot appear in this 1/18 second opening.Even the WC rejected this 186 shot. They reasoned the assassin wouldnot take it because in a few seconds the limousine would be in the open.But, CBS liked the 186 shot because it gave their marksmen more timefor all three shots. They now had "seven or eight seconds" and not the"5.6 seconds" they felt the WC sat in stone.This assumption that the WC settled on 5.6 seconds was incorrect as canbe seen in the last sentence of Chapter Three of the WC Report.. There, itis stated "that the 3 shots were fired in a time period ranging fromapproximately 4.8 to in excess of 7 seconds." Elsewhere, the Report said:"If either the first or the third shot missed,....then (there would havebeen)...a minimum of 7.1 to 7.9 seconds for the three shots." The 5.6second figure was set only if the first shot was at frame 210, where thelimousine first clears the oak tree.Frazier said the fastest the rifle bolt could be operated was 2.3 seconds.So, if JFK was fired at at frame 186, the earliest the next shot could havebeen was at 228. CBS felt the second shot was at 222/223, animpossibility.To get around this, CBS then stated the Zapruder camera was reallygoing slower than 18.3 frames a second. This 18.3 figure came from theFBI and there is no proof that they were incorrect on the calculations.How CBS determined the camera was slower than suspected was bytesting similar cameras. Wyckoff ran 5 cameras against a clock and found3 were faster than the Zapruder camera and 2 were slower. CBS did nottest the REAL camera but still concluded the Zapruder camera had to beslower!!!FBI photo expert, L.L Shaneyfelt said he had come up with the 18.3frames per second by shooting the sweep second hand of a large clock.Three years after this test, Bell and Howell tested the Zapruder camera intheir engineering lab and agreed with the FBI's figure of 18.3.So, CBS, using a different rifle under different conditions, and with moretime to fire, said Oswald acted alone to kill JFK.CBS ran one other test where they shot a light bulb. When the bulbexploded, the fragments flew in the same direction of the bullet's path.They said this proved that JFK could be shot from the rear and have hishead fly towards the shooter. By this test, Wyckoff disproved the rearwardhead shot because the only policemen to be splattered by blood and tissuewere the ones to JFK's left rear. Of course, CBS did not tell the audiencethis fact.CBS then interviewed a pathologist who said in his opinion, the shotcame from the knoll. To this, CBS said the "experts (were) indisagreement."It should be noted that in the third program, Dan Rather said, "I am notcontent with the findings on Oswald's possible connections withgovernment agencies, particularly with the CIA." In the last program,Walter Cronkite said that "...there remains disturbing indications.." thatthere may have been "..some kind of link between Oswald and variousintelligence agencies of the United States."So ended the four part 'CBS News Inquiry: The Warren Report.' Theysaid that "certainly all objections that go to the heart of the Report vanishwhen they are exposed to the light of honest inquiry." This holds true inthis, the best test yet of the Report and SBT. Some people felt thistelevision special was another whitewash but, when analyzed correctly, theCBS special only strengthened their case for a conspiracy and the followingcover-up.Thank you CBS for proving us correct.Michael Parks

CBS did nottest the REAL camera but still concluded the Zapruder camera had to beslower!!!FBI photo expert, L.L Shaneyfelt said he had come up with the 18.3frames per second by shooting the sweep second hand of a large clock.Three years after this test, Bell and Howell tested the Zapruder camera intheir engineering lab and agreed with the FBI's figure of 18.3.So, CBS, using a different rifle under different conditions, and with moretime to fire, said Oswald acted alone to kill JFK.CBS ran one other test where they shot a light bulb. When the bulbexploded, the fragments flew in the same direction of the bullet's path.They said this proved that JFK could be shot from the rear and have hishead fly towards the shooter. By this test, Wyckoff disproved the rearwardhead shot because the only policemen to be splattered by blood and tissuewere the ones to JFK's left rear. Of course, CBS did not tell the audiencethis fact.CBS then interviewed a pathologist who said in his opinion, the shotcame from the knoll. To this, CBS said the "experts (were) indisagreement."It should be noted that in the third program, Dan Rather said, "I am notcontent with the findings on Oswald's possible connections withgovernment agencies, particularly with the CIA." In the last program,Walter Cronkite said that "...there remains disturbing indications.." thatthere may have been "..some kind of link between Oswald and variousintelligence agencies of the United States."So ended the four part 'CBS News Inquiry: The Warren Report.' Theysaid that "certainly all objections that go to the heart of the Report vanishwhen they are exposed to the light of honest inquiry." This holds true inthis, the best test yet of the Report and SBT. Some people felt thistelevision special was another whitewash but, when analyzed correctly, theCBS special only strengthened their case for a conspiracy and the followingcover-up.Thank you CBS for proving us correct.Michael Parks
