The plot to assassinate President Kennedy seems to have been

sophisticated, intricate, and meticulously planned.

 

Byrds, Planes, and an Automobile

 

One of the men with whom the truth may lie, concerning the JFK

assassination's links to the University of Texas, was one of UT's most

ardent supporters who happened to own the building that has become

synonymous with the assassination. His ties to UT are well known. His

numerous ties to the assassination are lesser known. One of his least

known ties, it appears, is to the UT Rambler.

 

Somewhat like the plot to assassinate Trotsky and most unlike the failed

assassination conspiracy against Hitler in which Allen Dulles and Mary

Bancroft participated, the plot to assassinate President Kennedy seems to

have been sophisticated, intricate, and meticulously planned. It can be

presumed therefore that, as researcher William Weston has written, "One of

the most critical elements of this plot was the Texas School Book

Depository." In addition to both the circumstances of Oswald's employment

at the TSBD, and the routing of the motorcade by the building, Weston

points out that there would have been a need for a team of plotters to

make detailed plans inside the building well in advance of November 22,

including firing angles, planting of false evidence, and getaway plans.

This could have been done, Weston says, by six TSBD employees assigned to

lay new flooring on the fifth and sixth floors from late October until

November 22.298 It is a plausible argument, which brings up the concern

that any long- term improvement to the property such as a flooring project

would have to have been of interest to, if not directly initiated and

contracted by, the building's owner.

 

Roy Truly, the "superintendent" who hired Oswald was "a building

manager."299 In a story published the day after the assassination, Dallas

Morning News reporter Kent Biffle referred to Roy Truly as "Superintendent

of the textbook building...."300 The floor crew was supervised directly by

William Shelly, "the assistant manager who was in charge of the floor

laying project."301 These titles imply that they were building managers

more closely associated with the landlord than with the private textbook

brokerage firm which leased the building.302 The employment of these

individuals would seem to be a relatively easy fact for researchers

verify.

 

Weston writes, "The electrical power for the whole building and even the

telephone stopped working about five minutes prior to the

assassination.303

 

303. Warren Commission Hearings, Vol. 6, pp. 391, 395, 396, cited in

Weston, p. 11. Note: It was pointed out in the March 1993 Third Decade

(pp. 22-23) that the testimony cited by Weston referring to "lights all

went out and phones became dead" has two different interpretations. While

that is true, there is ample evidence that commission attorneys altered

testimony and chose language very carefully. Weston believes "that the

Warren Commission was trying to avoid the subject." In a cover-up, this

matter would be a prime target for obfuscation.

 

"Lights Out."

How convenient !  Geneva Hine, the only employee in the TSBD second

floor notices electrical power and phones go dead.

 

"THE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT and the PHONES BECAME DEAD BECAUSE THE

MOTORCADE WAS COMING NEAR "

(Testimony of Geneva L. Hine)

Mr. Ball.

Were you alone then at this time?

Miss HINE. Yes.

Mr. Ball.

Did you stay at your desk?

Miss HINE. Yes, sir: I was alone until THE LIGHTS ALL WENT OUT and the

PHONES BECAME DEAD BECAUSE THE MOTORCADE WAS COMING NEAR us and no one

was calling so I got up and thought I could see it from the east

window in our office.

Mr. Ball.

Did you go to the window?

Miss HINE. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Did you look out?

Miss HINE. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

What did you see?

Miss HINE. I saw the escort car come first up the middle of Houston

Street.

 

Warren Commission Hearings: Vol. VI - Page 391

(Testimony of Miss Victoria Elizabeth Adams)

"....the power had been cut off on the elevator, ..."

Mr. Belin.

Did he let you come back in?

Miss ADAMS. Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do ?

Miss ADAMS. Following that, I pushed the button for the passenger

elevator, but the power had been cut off on the elevator, so I took

the stairs to the second floor.

 

William Weston writes, "The electrical power for the whole building and

even the telephone stopped working about five minutes prior to the

assassination.303 How two such entirely different systems as the

electricity and the phones could go out simultaneously is beyond

explanation, unless one can assume that the interruption was

deliberate."304 Although this claim is currently in dispute, it cannot be

denied that the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy would have

involved intimate knowledge of the TSBD building. Truly and Shelly were

possibly employed to some extent by the building's landlord, David Harold

Byrd.

Subject: Re: "Lights Out.

 

Bud :  She means the lights on the switchboard went dead.

 

Raymond :There was no switchboard in the TSBD building

 

Mr. Ball.

Was there a switchboard?

Miss HINE. No, sir; we have a telephone with three incoming lines,

then we have the warehouse line and we have an intercom system.

Mr. Ball.

You don't have a switchboard?

Miss HINE. Not now; we did in the other building.

Dallas oilman David Harold Byrd, born April 24, 1900, was the cousin of

Admiral Richard E. Byrd and his brother, Senator Harry F. Byrd, "the

leader of conservative opinion in the United States."305 D.H. Byrd owned

the Texas School Book Depository building from the 1930s to the 1970s. In

May 1964, he had the "Oswald window" removed and kept it as part of his

estate.306 In 1972, after Byrd sold the building to Mr. Aubrey Mayhew, an

arsonist set it on fire. It was saved, however. Shortly thereafter Mayhew

defaulted on his payments to Republic National Bank of Dallas307 and the

property reverted to the Byrd family.308 In 1975 Byrd sold it again.309

 

Byrd had a close relationship with both Lyndon Johnson and John Connally.

Evidently not satisfied with being the cousin of a powerful and respected

U.S. senator,310 for D.H. Byrd, "Another goal was to reach a rapport with

the politicians who ran things, especially at the seat of state government

in Austin....Sam Rayburn, Morrie Sheppard, John Connally, and Lyndon

Johnson on the national scene were to become men I could go to any time

that I wanted action, and so were a succession of Texas governors. Among

the ablest was John Connally...who says he's in my debt for pleading his

cause... with...Ida Nell (Nellie) Brill, Sweetheart of The University of

Texas in 1940...."311

 

Byrd probably also knew George de Mohrenschildt, David Atlee Phillips and

George Bush through the Dallas Petroleum Club.312 In 1945, future club

member de Mohrenschildt obtained a masters degree in petroleum engineering

after eighteen months at the University of Texas at Austin. 313 During

that year he was investigated by the FBI and ONI.

 

That same year he worked under Warren W. Smith, president of Pantipec Oil,

owned by the parents of William F. Buckley, Jr. Smith and de Mohrenschildt

soon quit and formed the Cuban-Venezuelan Oil Voting Trust Company. When

Castro took over, this company forfeited oil leases covering about half of

Cuba. Jack Crichton http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/MDcrichton.htm of

Army Intelligence Reserve Service, mentioned earlier, had also worked

under Warren Smith at Pantipec, which sells to Sun Oil.314 By 1957, George

de Mohrenschildt had established himself in oil ventures ranging from

wildcat drilling to aerial surveillance and had begun working for the

CIA.315

The Select Committee on Assassinations, which was created in 1976, dealt

with all aspects of the Kennedy assassination. Among them, they received

Dallas Police Department radio transcripts of channels 1 and 2 for Friday,

November 22, 1963.

 

At 12:24 p.m., as the President's motorcade moved down Main Street,

approaching Dealey Plaza, a police radio microphone, somewhere in the

city, became stuck in the open position resulting in an open transmitter.

This condition lasted for 41/2 seconds, then opened again for 1 second

twice in succession. At 12:28, approximately 2 minutes before shots were

fired at the presidential limousine, the microphone stuck open again for

171/2 seconds transmitting the engine sound of a running motorcycle.

Closing briefly, the microphone opened again at 12:29.10 and remained open

for 5 minutes and 9 seconds. At 12:34.19, the microphone closed and

remained closed. Since this time period covered the interval of time that

the shots were fired, resulting in the death of the president at Parkland

Hospital, the Assassination Committee studied the tapes hoping that the

open mike was in Dealey Plaza and recorded the sound of shots fired at the

motorcade. Even though this open mike almost crippled channel 1

communications during the crucial time period, in the event, no one

suspected that someone, who had access to a police radio, deliberately

keyed the mike open only to cripple communications and add to the

confusion. It seems reasonable to believe that this was the case assuming

that the assassin, in a conspiracy plot, had any hope of escaping

detection and capture. If this had happened at some point earlier in the

motorcade route, the occurrence would not appear out of place, but for an

open mike to happen from 12:24 p.m. until 12:34:10, this should allow for

at least a minimum of suspicion.

 

To add to the possibility of a deliberate keying open the microphone was

another strange bit to add to the scenario. At 12:32:05, several seconds

before the microphone closed, and several seconds after the fatal shot to

President Kennedy, the sound of the Morse Code "V" or "...____" was

generated at some point and transmitted over the open mike and recorded on

the tape. This "V" was a popular World War II victory signal and some of

the Warren Committee skeptics believe that the Morse Code "V" was a signal

transmitted to convey success to associates in the conspiracy. To

defenders of the commission, this notion is absurd because "..." is at a

higher pitch than the "_____" and it is not possible to key a mike to play

music. True, but who is to say that the sound was made by a microphone

key? Also, before the mike closed for good, someone was heard whistling an

unidentifiable tune. Could it have been the "Funeral March" or "Near My

God TO Thee?"

 

This subject is complicated and the truth about the open mike remains

unresolved. The Select Committee failed in their search of acoustical

evidence. The logic, however, is on the side of those who still believe

that Dealey Plaza was a planned act and the incident needs further

investigation by people more specialized and not so political.

What happened to the RADIOS  that were in these cars ?

APPENDIX TO THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION TAPES

 

TRANSCRIPTS of  DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

November 22, 1963

ANNOTATED

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Radio communications are often so brief and cryptic, so full of local

slang and innuendo that meaning might not be clear even to police officers

in neighboring communities. Therefore, the meaning and significance of

these transcripts would likely be lost to the lay person if they were

required to decipher them without some explanation.

 

Ordinarily, Channel 1 would handle police communications for those police

districts lying east of the Trinity River, and Channel 2 would handle

those districts to the west, a community commonly referred to as Oak

Cliff.

 

On November 22, 1963, Channel 1 was assigned to handle the ordinary

business of the police department units NOT assigned to the visit of

President Kennedy, and Channel 2 was used as a special event frequency

during the President's visit.

 

Both transcripts start just before the motorcade got underway and end

after the motorcade disbanded at Parkland Hospital.

 

Lengthy commentary in the body of the transcript would interfere with

transcript continuity. Therefore, commentaries are included as numbered

end notes.

Attempts are made to warn Caesar of the plot to kill him, but none are

successful. Caesar is murdered in the Senate House. Brutus keeps the

others from killing anyone else and they all believe that their deed will

be celebrated throughout the ages. Antony enters and pretends that he

agrees with the conspirators actions and is granted permission to speak at

Caesar's funeral.

 

Brutus speaks first at the funeral to explain their reasons for killing

Caesar. The people seem to accept his explanation and then Antony speaks.

Throughout his speech, Antony never really says anything bad about Brutus

and the others, but he talks about Caesar being such a great and noble man

willing to sacrifice all for his people. The listeners become angry and a

mob runs through the streets in search of the conspirators; they even kill

a man because he had the same name as one of the conspirators.

 

Et tu Brute ?
