By M. N. McDONALD, Dallas Patrolman (Written for the Associated Press DALLAS, Tex. W) Yesterday (Friday) I grab this guy they say shot the President. Today (Saturday), I get two kids stealing hub caps.

"It's all over now," he told me. Then he hit me a pretty good one in the face with his fist. I saw him going for his gun and I grabbed him around the waist. We struggled and fell around the seats for a few seconds and I got my hand on the butt of his pistol. But he had his hand on the trigger.

I was pulling the gun toward me and I heard the hammer click.The primer (which detonates the bullet) was dented, and it didn't fire. This might have saved me. I got the pistol out of his hand and another officer Bob Carroll reached me and took the pistol from me. I held Oswald. As we took him out of the show he calmed down.

I'm sure glad that shell didn't fire. radio began carrying news of President Kennedy's being shot, the alerts in different parts of the city began jamming the radio. I was cruising toward Oak Cliff, across the river (Trinity that splits Dallas almost in half). I got my call about 1:30 p.m. The radio dispatcher, G.

D. Henslee first told me to check the alleys. The next tip was that a guy that fitted the description they were giving was in a branch library out in Oak Cliff. This didn't take long to be a phony. The next one said a man acting funny was holed up in the balcony of the Texas theater.

I headed that way in a hurry. The cashier at the picture show was the one who called in to say this guy was acting suspicious and hidden out in the balcony. I went in from the rear and came out through the curtains on the side of the screen. I noticed about 10 to 15 people sitting near the front, and one, I still don't know who it was, tipped me the man I wanted was sitting on the third row from the rear on the ground floor and not in the balcony. I went up the aisle, and talked to two people sitting about in the middle.

I was crouching low and holding my gun in case any trouble THE CRIMSON LAMENTS Harvard Yard jester-day was funereal at the loss of John F. Kennedy, class of 1940. A student sobs on church steps, as others crowded out of services stand in the rear. 'Like Death of Relative1 Harvard University Mourns Famed Son CAMBRIDGE, Mass. IUPD Under cloudy skies.

Harvard University mourned her most famous son last night. John F. Kennedy. '40, was dead. "We mourn him as a friend," said President Nathan M.

Pusey. "This was almost like the death of a relative," said Franklin Ford, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Eight candles glowed on the altar of the Memorial Church in Harvard Yard as bells tolled for 30 minutes earlier yesterday in memory of the sixth Harvard graduate to hold the nation's highest office. The others were John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt and Rutherford B.

Hayes. Hayes held a degree only from Harvard Law School. Yesterday, the Harvard-Yale football game was canceled. Monday, all classes were ordered canceled. And a meeting of the Harvard overseers was postponed until a week from tomorrow.

The overseers are Harvard's governing body; Kennedy was a member until last June. At 11 a.m. yesterday, 2,000 persons crammed every corner of Memorial Church in Harvard Yard for a simple service in honor of the late President. Fellow graduates of 1940 were among the mourners who entered, some of them carrying copies of the Harvard student paper, The Crimson, which published an "extra" headlined, "Kennedy Assassinated." "Our grief seeks words, although none will be found match it," Rev. Charles P.

Price, preacher to Harvard University, said at the observance. "We have to say something, although we are siill too numbs to speak. The President is dead, and each of us is stricken in a mortal place." Whenever it's a matter of money, look to SHOP rO hm fOZS C35fc 2SM TRUST COMPANY REID MOTORS For CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH VALIANT 129 W.

Tom Shires, chief of surgeons at the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical School, said the governor probably would have been killed, had he not turned. "After consulting with Mrs. Connally and others on the scene," Dr. Shires said, "the consensus is that the governor was fortunate that he turned to see what happened to the President. If he had not turned he probably would have been shot through the heart.

As it was, the bullet caused a tangential wound." The governor was told of President Kennedy's death yesterday morning. When he awoke from sedation at 7:15 a.m. (CST) Mrs. Connally was at his side. "What about the he asked.

'He is dead." Mrs. Connally said. "I was afraid of that," the governor said. Physicians said the bullet traveled through the governor's body and broke his fifth rib. It then struck his wrist, causing a compound fracture and lodged in his thigh.
