boss of Florida crime syndicate
operations. Until Castro came
to power in 1959, he ran gam-
bling casinos in Havana.
As Trafficante began his tes-
timony, committee Chairman
Louis F. Stokes, D-Ohio, asked
the routine opening questions
about place of residence and
place of birth.
Trafficante declined to say
where he was born, citing his
Fifth Amendment right against
self-incrimination. The com-
mittee then presented him with
a federal court order granting
immunity from prosecution for
anything he might say, and he
agreed to testify.

The committee subpoenaed
Trafficante to testify on the fi-
nal day of a month of hearings
examining whether there was a
conspiracy behind the assassi-
nation of President John F.
Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22,
1963.

have speculated that organized
crime figures plotted Kennedy’s

“ Bird deaths

Have you noticed any dead
pigeons in the downtown area of

birds have been picked up by
the animal control officer for

Several animals in the down-
town residential area have
eaten all or parts of some of the
birds. Some have died. Others
are very sick," he said.
"It is against the law to
distribute any poison in the city
limits of Brownwood,” the chief
warned. He asked that no more
poison be distributed anywhere
in the city limits of Brownwood.

JERUSALEM (AP) - The
Israeli government began prep-

tiations with Egypt, its largest
Arab foe, after the Israeli Par-
liament voted by an over-
whelming margin to ratify the
Camp David accords and with-
draw all Jewish settlers from
the Sinai peninsula if Egypt
makes peace.

tremendous courage of Prime
Minister Begin and the Israeli
