Kennedy Coverage Cost $32 Million WASHINGTON UPI —Broadcasting coverage of the assassination and funeral of the late President Kennedy cost the television and radio networks, and the advertising industry, a total of $32 million, an industry publication said today. The network costs ran at least $28.7 million, according to a survey by Broadcasting Magazine. Another $3.3 million was accounted for by commissions to advertising agencies and sales representatives for commercials which w’ere suspended over the
period.
DALLAS UPI—Texas assembled a blue ribbon panel of legal minds today for a court of inquiry into the assassination of President Kennedy and surround-
ing events.
Texas Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr conferred with wounded Gov. John Connally about the investigation Monday and announced the names of two lawyers who would help interrogate witnesses. Leon Jaworski, a Houston attorney who was trial Judge advocate in the Nuremburg trials following World War II, and Dist Atty. Henry Wade of Dallas were named to the panel w'hich Carr wall head. Carr said the state’s investigation would open shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI files a report with President Johnson, presumably late this month. The state investigation. Carr said, w r ould openly interrogate witnesses in the assassination, the slaying of policeman J. D. Tippit and the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. The findings will be turned over to a federal commission appointed by President Johnson. Carr said the state investigation would contrast both the FBI's undercover w r ork and the federal commission’s consideration because witnesses would be subpoenaed and questioned under oath either in Dallas or at Austin, Tex., the state capital. The three-pronged approaches to the crimes was called an “unprecedented example of cooperation between local, state and federal government to determine the facts and make them public.” FBI information will be given the Texas court of inquiry, which will forward its findings to the federal commission headed by Earl Warren, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. Carr said he did not know if Jack Ruby would be questioned by the state court of inquiry. He said he “didn't w^ant to interfere" with the murder case that charges Ruby with Oswald s
shooting.
The Texas attorney general said he planned to select another attorney to aid in the state s inquiry and planned to set the time and place of the probe soon. Carr said the presidential commission would not call witnesses, but was depending on other sources for its information. “It is my understanding the commission will take evidence assembled by the FBI and other agencies and evaluate this evidence and reach conclusions,"
Carr said.
