Graviin told police he killed them all Sunday night. Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor William Lang said Graviin told him he had been brooding about marital prob lems. After a family fight last week Mrs. Graviin, the sus pect said, had asked him for a divorce and Graviin had moved out of the house. Graviin told Lang this trouble had been "bothering him" in the last week.

But the Commission investigated this matter at great length, in part because ofj rumors that not everything! possible had been done, ori that doctors who treated the President had found wounds! that would indicate the shotsj came from several directions. There also were conflicting! reports about the autopsy per-: formed on the President's body after it was returned to! Washington.

To help set the record: straight, the following has been taken from the body ofj the Warren Commission report and, tvhile paraphrased and condensed, reflects the Commission's findings.

Get us to, the hospital immediately." Dallas Police Chief Jesse E.

Curry, in the lead car, used his radio to contact a special ''base station" tied into the frequency used by most cars in the motorcade. He ordered Ihe base station to alert Park- Barry Calls LBJ Soft on Communism CINCINNATI Republican presidential nominee Sen. Earry Joldwater charged Tuesdaj' night that the Johnson Administration is "soft on communism." Goldwater drew thunderous applause and cheers from a crowd estimated by police at 14,000 as he made the charge the first time he has done so in his campaign. Completing the first day of a three-day whistle stop train tour through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, Goldwater said his Democratic opponent's for eign policy "is in a shambles." "Under Lyndon Johnson, the cause of peace suffers defeat," Goldwater said. "We are drifting into catastrophe as surely as the sun sets in the west.

And they say let us continue."
