7 Dead Collision planation of why the trains, one bound for a terminal at 33rd Street, south of the scene, the other northbound for the Selkirk Yard near Albany, were on the same track. The tracks were so torn up by the collision and buried under wreckage that it was difficult immediately to determine the positions of the trains before the crash. A New York Central spokesman said each train was carrying a six-man crew and that their first reports were that two of the 12 men were dead, five unaccounted for, two hospitalized and three uninjured. The railroad spokesman said that if more than 12 men were involved, the additional persons could have been standing along the tracks. Some maintenance work was being done in the area, he said.

ILLINOIS point following the removal of United Nations Emergency Force from the Gaza Strip. (AP Wfrephoto) PHONE 235-5656 NEW ORLEANS (AP) Dist. Atty. Jim Garrison says Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill President John F. Kennedy and that the CIA knows who did.

"Purely and simply it's a case of former employes of the CIA, a large number of them Cubans having a venomous reaction from the 1961 Bay of Pigs episode certain individuals with a fusion of interests in regaining Cuba assassinated the president," Garrison says. In Washington, a spokesman for the Central Intelligence Agency said the organization wouldiave Garrison's remarks, made Sunday night in a 23-minute interview: with newsmen Bob Jones on Garrison said the CIA knows "the name of every man involved and the name of the indi viduals who pulled the triggers" to kill John F. Kennedy. He savs the CIA has "infinite ly more power than the Gestapo and the NKVD of Russia com bined." He referred to police organizations of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, Garrison said it would take "only 60 minutes for the CIA to give us the name of every last Cuban involved in this and that's how close we have been to the end for sometime, but we are blocked by this glass wall of this totalitarian, powerful agency which is worried about its power." He repeatedly charged the CIA with blocking and attempting -to block his investigation, begun last fall, and "as a result I think that in closing out the case the final details of evidence that we want will take us much longer, but we're not going to compromise. We're not going to quit.

We're going to get them anyway." At another point, Garrison said: "I don't believe they can stop us. They can just delay, us." He charged the CIA "through devious ways and through intermediaries is actually paying lawyers to block the completion of the investigation. What it's doing, is a criminal act. And if the director of the CIA and the toD officials of the CIA were in the jurisdiction of Louisiana I would charge them without hesitation." The district attorney told Jones he had located photographs "in which we have found the men behind the grassy knoll and stone wall before they dropped completely out of sight. There were five of them not distinct enough you can make an identification from the faces." "The point is," Garrison continued, "the Warren Commis sion said nobody was back there and they had to say nobody was back there because not enough evidence was presented for them to make any other conclusion."
