The vehicle was flown back to Washington after experts carefully examined it for bullet fragments or other evidence in connection with the fatal shoot- ing of Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22. The 30-month-old limousine is in perfect condition except for a small, unexplained hole in the windshield which may have been caused by a bullet frag- ment. If Johnson decides against us- ing the auto, it would likely be returned to the Ford Motor Co. The specially designed Navy blue Lincoln Continental is leased by the government from Ford for $500 a year. Ford would presumably do- nate it to the foundation-operat- ed Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Mich., where one for- mer presidential car, the Lin- coln "Sunshine Special" used by Presidents Franklin D. Roo- sevelt and Harry S. Truman be- tween 1939 and 1950, is already on display. The vehicle in which Kenne- dy was slain had been in presi- dential service since June 1961. Postponement Of Ruby's Trial Appears Certain DALLAS (AP)—It seems al- most certain that the murder trial of Jack Ruby, who killed the man accused of assassinat- ing President Kennedy, won't be held until well into next year. Dist. Atty. Henry Wade, who will prosecute Ruby on the state charge, and defense lawyer Torn Howard said Monday they can't finish preparing their cas• es by next week. Dist, Judge Joe B, Brown has set the trial tentatively for Dec. 0. Presumably he will order a postponement on formal request from either side. One reason for delay, Howard said, will be a defense move for a pretrial sanity hearing for Ruby, 52, a Dallas night club operator. He estimated it would take two months to get ready for this alone. As thousands of television viewers watched, Ruby shot and killed accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald as police start- ed to take Oswald from the City Hall to county jail Nov. 24. In neighboring Fort Worth, Police Sgt. Jim Stout estimated 10,000 people have walked or driven past the grave of Os- wald in Rose Hill Cemetery. Stout is part of a special detail on guard around the clock. Spectators are permitted no closer than a roadway 30 feet from the grave.

Oswald Entry Not Accused Assassin MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Monday that the entry "Lee Oswald, Dallas," found in' the registry of a Milwau- kee area restaurant last week was not written by the accused assassin of President Kennedy. Richard Bake r, agent in charge of the FBI office in Mil- waukee, said the signature on the Fox and Hounds Inn regis- ter was not that of Lee Harvey Oswald who was killed in Dallas two days after the assassination of the President. He said this was established by FBI labora- tory tests in Washington. Tippit Donations Near $100,000 DALLAS (AP) — Donations tabulated so far for the family of slain Dallas Policeman J.D. Tippit were around the $100,000 mark today as mail started to slack off. Police Lt. Verne Hipskind said accountants totaled $44,084 as of Monday night in contribu- tions coming into the police sta- tion. Money sent to other places now totals $55,000 or more. Tippit, allegedly shot to death by Lee Harvey Oswald shortly after President Kennedy was as- sassinated 11 days ago, is sur- vived by a wife and three chil- dren. Hipskind said two sacks of mail came in Monday "and it seems to be letting up a little bit." Fourteen sacks of letters and donations are left to be count- ed. Hipskind said contributions coming in for the widow and family of Oswald are being turned over to Secret Service personnel. He could give no es- timate of how much Oswald's !wax has received. .FBI Findings Will Indicate Oswald Had No Accomplice
