    (Excerpts) A Soviet TASS correspondent in the United States reports attempts by the police in Dallas, Texas, to involve the Communist Party in the assassination of President Kennedy. The U.S. press is reporting statement by Dallas police officials to the effect that Oswald has admitted membership in the Community Party.
    The more details revealed, the vaguer and more suspicious the entire case becomes. Serious observers disregard the police version that leftist elements are responsible for the assassination.
    Dallas, where the President was murdered, is a center of race supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan. It is a mecca of oil millionaires and the ultra-rightwing groups they finance. When the President died, officials at the White House told the press that the crime was committed by racists and right extremists. The Soviet news agency, TASS, comments that the police hope to direct the indignation of the U.S. people away from those really guilty of the heinous crime.
