Page 5 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places REGISTRATION FORM NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Paine House, Irving, Dallas County, Texas Narrative Description The Paine House is typical of single-family, Ranch Style tract houses constructed nationwide during the mid-1950s. The house is sited in the middle of the block on the north side of West 5th Street, bounded by Lilac Lane and Westbrook Drive. The neighborhood remains largely intact with its original 1950s, single-family, Ranch style houses. Large, mature trees dot the neighborhood landscape. The dwelling is a one-story, 1,122 square foot side- gabled house with front-facing hip-roofed ell that forms the single-car garage. The low-pitched hipped roof exhibits exposed rafters and the exterior is clad in shiplap, tongue-and-groove, wood siding. The roof is covered in composition shingles and the foundation is composed of a concrete slab. The driveway also consists of a concrete slab and a concrete drainage ditch runs along the west side of the house. The Paine House has two bedrooms, one bath, living room, kitchen, and dining room. Facing south on West 5th Street, the primary elevation displays a nine-light, fixed-sash, aluminum picture window with wood casing; a two-over-two, single-hung, aluminum window with wood casing; front entry wood slab door, one-light panel screen door that displays a basket-weave motif; single-car flip-up garage door of shiplap tongue- and-groove wood siding; inset porch on a concrete slab; and decorative wrought iron porch support (Photos 1 and 2). A light pink brick skirt with a continuous lip accents the eastern portion of the south facade. Several bricks project slightly from the skirt in a random pattern. The east elevation exhibits two two-over-two, single-hung aluminum windows with wood casings under a triangular louvered attic vent (Photo 3). The north elevation opens to the backyard (Photo 4). This elevation contains a nine-light, fixed-sash, aluminum picture window at the western edge; three separate two-over-two, single-hung, aluminum windows of varying lengths and widths; a single wood, slab, entry door; and a small concrete patio. The backyard is enclosed with a chain

Wilkes, Jr. - November 14, 2018 Fifty-five years ago, at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by hidden sniper fire in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, TX. This terrible event is still enveloped in mystery. The alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, stridently denied committing the crime, never received legal representation, and was suspiciously murdered while in police custody two days after the assassination. Inept pathologists botched President Kennedy’s autopsy, to put it mildly. Witnesses and persons of interest soon began dying violent or suspicious deaths. The first official investigation of the assassination, undertaken by the Warren Commission, was hurried, inadequate and stacked in favor of the theory that Oswald was the lone assassin. The second official investigation,12 years later, by a select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, was hamstrung by political bickering, time and money limitations, unavailability of or failures of memory by witnesses, loss of evidence (including intentional destruction of documents), and the CIA’s refusal to meaningfully cooperate with the committee.

  • Powers, Angleton, Morley and Dallas (Winter 2018)
    Powers, Angleton, Morley and Dallas William Kelly Mainstream media journalists seldom take on the delicate subject of the assassination of President Kennedy to discuss it in a serious way. An example of this was Thomas Powers’ recent review of Ghost,1 Jefferson Morley’s biography of James Jesus Angleton: Powers came close but doesn’t know enough about the subject to do more than try – and fail – to discredit Morley and dismiss his work on the assassination as irrelevant. Morley has a careful journalistic approach and has written biographies of two central figures in the assassination. The first was Our Man in Mexico about the CIA station chief in Mexico City, Winston Scott; more recently, as mentioned, he has produced Ghost about Angleton. Those are integral parts of the assassination story. Morley writes from an historical distance and a different perspective than Powers, whose biography of CIA Director Richard Helms2 was written with the cooperation of Helms and subject to his revisions. This is something Morley would not do. Thomas Powers actually met James Angleton and recalls the conversation they had as a basic Angleton tutorial on counter-intelligence (CI) techniques. They talked about the collection of ‘serials’ on subjects and the opening of chronologies on people and events, along with two basic rules of research: no details are left out of a serial file and there’s no quarreling with the evidence. The final product, when analysts writing a report attempt to ‘properly interpret’ the evidence, is where the quarreling comes in. But those ‘counter-intelligence methods’ are just the basic research techniques which assassination researchers have been doing for the last 50 years.3 1 ‘The Monster Plot’ in the London Review of Books 10 May 2018.

  • A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317)
    A 3-D Lighting and Shadow Analysis of the JFK Zapruder Film (Frame 317) Hany Farid Department of Computer Science 6211 Sudikoff Lab Dartmouth College Hanover NH 03755 603.646.2761 (tel) 603.646.1672 (fax) [email protected] Abstract Claims of a broader conspiracy behind U.S. President John F. Kennedy's assassination have persisted for the past nearly five decades. The Zapruder film is considered to be the most complete recording of JFK's assassination. Many have claimed that this 8mm film was manipulated to conceal evidence of a second shooter, which would invalidate the claim that a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, was responsible for JFK's assassination. Here we con- sider the viability of one specific claim of postproduction tampering in the Zapruder film. 1. Introduction United States President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963 while his procession was driving through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Shortly afterwards, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and charged with the crime. Because he was killed before his trial, and the conclusions of the Warren Commission[1] have been challenged, many questions surrounding the assassination remained unanswered. Since this time, numerous theories have circulated suggesting that Oswald acted as part of a larger criminal con- spiracy involving a variety of government, international, or criminal groups. Abraham Zapruder captured the most complete documentation of the events of November 22nd with his Bell & Howell 8mm roll film camera. After Figure 1: Frame 317 of the Zapruder film (left), and a magnified view of JFK { the authenticity of the shadow on the back of JFK's head has been called into question.

    255 Mr. PREYER . Had he mentioned it before he went to New Orleans or was this something that he became interested in in New Or- leans? Mrs. PORTER . I think in New Orleans the word "Cuba" came up much more often than in the Dallas period. Mr. PREYER. He distributed the Fair Play for Cuba Committee literature. Did he talk about distributing that literature with you? Mrs. PORTER . Well, he always brought his pamphlets home. I was kind of pleased that the papers weren't as bad an occupation as playing with the rifle so I couldn't see any harm in that. Mr. PREYER. He used the name Hidel at this time. Did you write the name Hidel on any of the literature? Mrs. PORTER . He asked me to put some signatures with a name like that. I make joking remark about does that stand for Fidel, you know, is that a sound association, more or less. Mr. PREYER . Did he agree that it was a variation on the name Fidel? Mrs. PORTER. He just had a smile on, you know. Mr. PREYER . Was that the first that anybody mentioned that Hidel was a variation on Fidel, on that occasion? In other words, did anyone tell you about that before that occasion? Mrs. PORTER . No. Mr. PREYER . Mr. Chairman, I think I have no further questions on this aspect of the questioning at this time. Chairman STOKES . The Chair observes that the witness has now been under examination for approximately 31/z hours. This would probably be an appropriate place for the committee to take a recess for approximately an hour.

    Ghosts of the Disciplinary Machine: Lee Harvey Oswald, Life-History, and the Truth of Crime Jonathan Simon* It seems to me important, very important, to the record that we face the fact that this man was not only human but a rather ordinary one in many respects, and who appeared ordinary. If we think that this was a man such as we might never meet, a great aberration from the normal, someone who would stand out in a crowd as unusual, then we don't know this man, we have no means of recognizing such a person again in advance of a crime such as he committed.
