[title]  "Paris Paper Says Oswald Had Help"

The Washington Post Foreign Service

PARIS, Nov. 27 -- The French newspaper Paris-Presse reported today that an amateur photographer's 8-mm. color film taken just 10 minutes before the assassination of President Kennedy showed two silhouettes at the sixth-floor window where the assassin's bullets are believed to have been fired.  

The dispatch, from the newspaper's correspondent in Dallas, J.P.  Renard, said that the FBI has viewed the hitherto undisclosed film strip -- reportedly taken by an American sailor -- and is now convinced that Lee Oswald had an accomplice.  The dispatch also said that a study of the debris of the food left in the room shows that the accomplice had apparently been in the room the day before.  

[A thorough check of  authoritative sources in Washington convinced newsmen that the FBI possesses no such film, and that the Paris-Presse story is untrue.  The FBI itself declined to comment at all on its investiation of the assassination.]
