Robert F. Kennedy. Police said the report apparently resulted from someone mistaking a workman, carrying Cambodia Signs Airline Agreement With China TOKYO (UPI) Cambodia, which renounced all United States aid, has signed an airlines service agreement with Communist China, according to a Peking broadcast by the official New China News Agency (NCNA). The Communist report said the agreement was signed in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh Monday following negotiations which began two weeks ago. It was effective immediately, the broadcast said.

The agreement will give Chinese aircraft direct access to neutral Cambodia, which has a key location in troubled South-eas Asia, directly south of Laos between Thailand and Viet Nam. Cambodian chief of state Prince Norodom Sihanouk renounced all U.S. economic and military aid last week, charging that the United States was backing a Cambodiar rebel group operating out of South Viet Nam. The aid had totaled more than $30 million this year. prevemea iram aoing so.

She does not want to go back to her native Russia. The 23-year-old widow's constant companions were Secret Service agents.

Friends said two magazine correspondents also were with her and she might be selling her life story. There had been private offers of donations. But other than that, they said, she has no funds. Since her 24-year-old husband was arrested as the assassin of President Kennedy, Mrs. Oswald has appeared briefly at the edges of the drama.

She came and went at the police headquarters, always with her two-year-old baby June Lee and Marina Rachel, the five-week-old baby born at Parkland Memorial Hospital where the President and her husband died of their wounds. Mrs. Oswald, whose English is limited to a few simple words, is one of three women widowed by the assassination. Unlike Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs.

J. Tippitt, wife of the slain Dallas policeman, Mrs. Oswald was not permitted to see her husband's body until it was brought to the cemetery. There the cheap coffin was briefly opened. She and Os- should have been cleared.

He only knew that his father was gone. His father, J.D. Tippit, 39, was shot down in cold blood by the same man who was accused of killing President Kennedy. Mrs.

Marie Tippit, 39, and the other children, Brenda Kay, 10, and Allen, 14, stared straight ahead at the casket containing Tippit's body. Allen tried hard not to cry, biting his lips and blinking his already tear-swollen eyes. Brenda and her mother wept. Pastor CD. Tipps Jr.

of the Beckley Hills Baptist Church quoted from First Thessalon-ians, the same book of the Bible quoted from by Richard Cardinal Cushing at the funeral mass of the President in Washington. The pastor said: "He was doing his duty whet he was taken by the lethal bullet of a poor, confused, misguided, ungodly assassin." "Human words are futile." Dallas police have no insurance and are not covered by Social Security, but the police department retirement fund will pay Mrs. Tippit a $225 per month widow's pension. Tippit's salary was $490 a month. Contributions began to pour into the police department.

Several radio stations and newspapers set up collections. Capt. Glen King of the police department said $1,500 has been received there and another promised by various organizations and individuals. ticitinn intn the President i embjssy early (he next morn. 7'fV with a bust of the Presi- rui oi uawiin.

Mikoyan to Give Johnson Message MOSCOW (UPI) Anastas Mikoyan, Soviet first deputy premier, will use his current Washington trip to give President Johnson an official message from Premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev, informed sources said today. Diplomats speculated that Khrushchev may be seeking a meeting with Johnson to size up the new President. Apparent apprehension of the Kremlin toward the future policy of the United States has emerged clearly in statements of Soviet news media and commentators. "Political observers are guessing about the role to be played by the new President," Tass, the official Soviet news agency, said in a dispatch Monday. "Will he freeze the diplomatic position of the United States, or will he develop it and in what direction?" Moscow Radio announced I 1 r-inniiJ n.

Although the general feeling among the prisoners of war was that the conflict could not last much longer, the news of President Roosevelt's death was depressing. The PWs had been informed via the forbidden radio that the Allies were advancing sharply in Germany and in the Pacific Theatre of Operation. This news had buoyed their spirits, but some lost heart when they learned of Roosevelt's death.

The day after the prisoners had learned of the President's passing, the German commandant in charge of Stalag 1VB released a news bulletin on the same subject. The commandant said a memorial ser vice would be permitted. The rites were held in an area behind the compound in which the American prisoner of war barracks were located. Canadians. South Africans and troops from England, Scotland and Wales joined the Americans as they trudged in groups of twos and threes to the parade ground.

But a new one took his place and, by the grace of God, finished a job that soon brought about our liberation.

Another great warrior was laid to rest yesterday in Ar-lington National Cemetery, a resting place for heroes, and his duties have been taken over by another.
