    (Text) Moscow--Moscow Television devoted its special 40-minute program today to the reaction of world public opinion to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
    The televiewers could see the photographs made a few hours earlier at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow, when Anastas Mikoyan was leaving for the United States to be present at John Kennedy's funeral, and also sequences from American documentaries made three years ago when Kennedy was elected president. The late President was shown in his family circle and also making his first public speech.
    The sequences, recorded on a video tape recorder through the Eurovision system, showed the White House, where American statesmen, diplomats, and the president's friends are paying last homage to the deceased.
    At the conclusion of the program, Commentator Valentin Zorin said that the attention of the world is still riveted on the tragic death of President Kennedy. The commentator emphasized that contemporary fascists "seek to revive the specter of the Reichstag fire."
