Far-Fetched Theories Of Frightened Minds Lee Harvey Oswald was a loner and wouldn't have joined in a conspiracy with another assassin, a psychiatrist who treated him says. Dr. Renatus Hartogs, chief psychiatrist at Bronx Youth House told the New York World Journal Tribune that Oswald would "never have shared with anyone the prestige of being the assassin of the President." In 1953, Oswald was living with his mother in the Bronx and because of his chronic truancy in school, the mental examination was ordered by the Bronx Children's Court. The controversy over whether Oswald was in fact the lone killer of President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, was dismissed by Hartogs as the work of "soft-minded, tender-hearted, rumor-mongers." "Paranoiacs like Oswald are loners," said Hartogs, a witness before the Warren Commission.

"They neither need nor want a conspirator to share or dilute the responsibility for their crimes." "Agitated and frightened minds all over the world quickly had to write articles and books in an attempt to soread thin the responsibility of Oswald's act by means of inventing or suspecting the existence of conspirators," he said. The very singlemindedness of Oswald's crime, Hartogs feels, has caused many people to seek reassurance in a conspirator theory. "They want to believe in' order, no matter how evil or widespread it may be," Hartogs said. "They are afraid and want to believe in an organization behind all the inconsistencies, the mistakes and the coincidences that have taken place since the assassination." Hartogs, who called Oswald potentially dangerous when he appeared before four judges in Bronx Children's Court in 1953, had not seen him since that time. Some theorists believe that Oswald's personality could have changed in those years.

The doctor compared Kennedy's assassin with the three young men who commited mass murders this year. "The man in the tower in Texas, the one who killed the nurses in Chicago, and the boy who killed the women in the beauty school were all people who wanted to act alone they, like Oswald, did not want to share with anyone," he said. "Yet no one came forward with far fetched theories of conspiracy in these crimes," Hartogs added. "But a presidential assassin staggers the imagination. There is a need for order, a need to understand, to master the contradictions and to make reasonable and rational that which is caused by mental illness or personal inefficiency or outright stupidity." Hartogs pointed out that the Warren Commission's report, rather than acting as a "26 volume sedative to the American people, had instead mobilized extreme discomfort and anxiety all these people who tremble in their boots." Poorly controlled emotions are responsible for the rash of disbelief in the commission's report, Hartogs feels.

"In my opinion," Hartogs said, "after reading all the books and the report itself, Kennedy's death was not a political assassination designed by a group of conspirators but a brutal murder conceived, planned and perpetrated by the morbid inner-world forces of a single insanely destructive power-operator. Hartogs also doubts that Jack Ruby, Oswald's could have been involved in any conspiracy. "Ruby was upset and over-wrought by the idea that his hero, a man whose family he very much identified, was removed all of a sudden," the doctor said. Dr. Hartogs' theory seems to be sound and based on an intimate knowledge of the accused assassin's inner mind.

It is further supported by the fact that there have been no really authoritative arguments in support of the conspiracy theory, despite the furor of Warren Report criticisms. Maybe the answer is too simple for the critics. Maybe Dr. Hartogs pointed out their failure. Automobile Prices The Bureau of Labor Statistics has studied the average increase of $55 in new model automobiles and found them almost wholly offset by safe improvements.

Commissioner of Labor Statistics Arthur Ross also found that automobile prices had been declining before this fall's slight increase when quality improvements are considered. 1 hat should make motorists feel good. Hal Boyle's NEWSMAN'S View of the World. Berkeley's Non-Students Committed to Community BERKELEY. Calif.

(AP) -Berkeley's nonstudents live in a world of shabby apartments, crowded coffee houses, beards and intellectual ferment convinced they have as much right to participate in University of California affairs as any registered student. By day and night, they are seen in what has been called the city's "underground," blocks of old homes i shops and bookstores. Like students, they saunter up to the big university campus and sometimes engage in protests that are limited by the administration to those enrolled. Their attire is casual -beards, battered sport coats, sandals, slacks. None of them carry the registration card the university issues to the 27,500 young men and women enrolled at Berkeley.

To Chandelier Roger Heyns and Ronald Reagan, they are outsiders who provoked a classroom strike by deliberately breaking a campus rule against nonstudents creating disturbances. Six of them were arrested Wednesday in a protest against Navy recruiters setting up a table on campus. "I'm more a part of the com- munity than the chancellor is," said Mario Savio, 23, one of those arrested. This long-haired, thin, intense former New Yorker is the best known of the hundreds of young men and women who live around the university but don't attend it. i Savio, who has the ability to fire up student rallies, left Berkeley after the 1964 free speech revolt he helped lead.

He is back now, refused admittance to the school but enthusiastically whipping up support on campus each day for the latest protest. Savio was one of those arrested at the Navy table. However, those active in the student strike say he is not the leader. "The people involved once were students said protest leader Karen Ueberman, 23 a pretty New Yorker suspended from Berkeley last June for manning a protest table along with some young men not registered at the university. "They are nonstudents now simply because they were politically active and suspended," she said.

"The people who are the hippies the beatniks, never get involved," she said. "They're living in a different world." The nonstudent group has its own coffee houses, its favorite bookstores and its own newspaper, the Berkeley Barb. NEW YORK (ap) She looks like a gazelle in miniskirts. She doesn't wear rouge or lipstick. She doesn't smoke.

"And I don't dance at all -except in my mind always," she said. But at 22, Francoise Hardy, the symbol of swinging youth-in France is reported to get more fan mail than Gen. Charles de Gaulle. The young singer composed her first ME song, "All The Boys and at 17. then she has met with an international acclaim as a recording star reminiscent of the quick rise of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Barbra Streisand, The French government, which she says now takes 65 per cent of her earnings, considers her a national resource.

"Everything happened to me so easily," she said. "But success forces you to be too concentrated in yourself. It makes you egocentric, and I am afraid that is now my biggest Francoise is pale and tall and lovely and has green eyes, a quick wit, and long hair that falls around her shoulders in an auburn mist. She came here for a visit after making her English-speaking debut as a star in the MGM-Cin- erama film "Grand Prix. Miss Hardy is a style setter in dress as well as in song in Europe.

She once created a sensation by strolling into the staid Savoy Hotel in London in orange trousers. Heads craned, too, the other day when she entered the fashionable 21 Club restaurant here clad in a beige sweater, dark Italian moccasins, heavily textured white stockings, and a very abbreviated plaid skirt. "The American people treat you more as an object than as a person," she remarked with quiet composure, "this is not true in Paris." Over a vegetarian plate -Francoise eats sparingly only twice a day she told about her life. "I want to know a lot of things everything about everything but I know that is she said. "I hope that in the future I'll find something else to do, but I don't know yet what.

I don't feel clever enough to be a writer, and I never wanted to be an actress." Francoise, who accompanies herself on the guitar, also keeps a staff of five musicians on her payroll. She herself composes about half of the songs she records or sings on television. This is her philosophy: "I am too young yet to know if life has a meaning. But I believe it is better to regret what you have done than what you haven't done. Who doesn't risk anything, has nothing." i'o her, motherhood is the finest expression of creativity.

But she says that at present she has no marriage plans. "In France, we do not marry as readily as you do here," she said. Judge Says Sentences May Stiffen PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A TJ.S. District Court judge says he may soon increase the sentence for military draft violators.

After sentencing a young man to three years in prison. Judge John J. Kilkenny said Wednesday he may make it five years for future violators of draft laws. The young man sentenced was Brain Philip Savage, 22, Santa Clara, who refused to report for civilian work in lieu of entering the armed forces. The judge also revoked the probation of seven other young men all Jehovah's Witnesses, who also refused civilian work in lieu of military induction.

They already had served six months in jail. The revocation will mean another 18 months in prison for them. All are from Oregon. INSIDE THE OPTIMIST Mike Dalton, chairman of the Central District Republican Committee, has reserved a block of 20 double rooms for Republicans at the Baranof Hotel in Juneau for the governor's inauguration. She applied for the reservations on Oct 19 --just about three weeks before election day.

MATTER OF INTERPRETATION-- Members of the City Council Saturday asked a reporter to leave a meeting so they could have an executive (closed door) session. They discussed the numbers racket. The city charter, however, says such sessions should be called only when discussing a question that would tend to defame or prejudice the reputation and character of any person or persons." Who's the person? What Others Home-Made Nation Small nations have been multiplying, but none is quite as small as the projected island of Taluga off the southern California coast. It is nothing at all right now, except a rocky ridge some 20 feet below the surface of the Pacific --the Cortez Banks. A Seattle attorney, Jack England, says he represents clients who intend to build an island there at the cost of several million dollars and proclaim it an independent nation.

There's competition. Another group, headed by Joe Kirkwood who played Joe Palooka in the movies, says it will build an island on the banks and call it Abalonia after the shell fish found in California waters. He and three companions almost drowned last week when the ship they intended to sink on the banks as a foundation for an island sank sh9rt of the mark. Federal authorities in San Diego are not happy about either project. "We can't let somebody build an island 100 miles off shore and claim sovereignty," said U.

S. Attorney Edwin Miller. "Think of the defense implications alone." Taluga or Abalonia? Perhaps the best name for the sovereign island project at this stage is just Baloney.
