involved in the Central Intelligence Agency investigation have been told of CIA involvement in a with French dissidents to nate the late Gen Charles DeGaulle with a poison ring the Chicago Tribune said in a copyrighted dispatch Saturday The dispatch bv Tribune reporter and columnist Bob said thai within the past two weeks a CIA representative disclosed sketchy details of the scheme during a briefing of the Capitol Hill leaders on what they might expect to find as various Congressional committees begin inquiries The discussion involved the use ol a poisoned ring by an who would use a veterans gathering to ter a lethal dose in a handshake with the general the Tribune dispatch said There was no indication the plot got beyond the talking stage In another dispatch the Tribune said a CIA liaison man had given Congressional ers preliminary information that the FBI had advised two aides of slam President John F Kennedy to withhold certain data about the assassination of the President The data dealt with the location of gunfire directed at Kennedy and was not presented to the Warren Commission which in the Dallas shooting the Tribune said In the DeGaulle matter the Tribune said that while it was vague on specifics the brief mg definitely established that such a plan had at least been discussed and perhaps enter tamed a decade ago by persons in the CIA But there was no indication given as to how deeply or at what level the proposal the the story cautioned The Tribune said that sometime in the dissidents in the DeGaulle government contacted the CIA to seek help in a murder plot Which party set up the contact was unclear At the time DeGaulle had irritated the Johnson administration by ing American military bases from France and by insisting its forces be withdrawn from Indochina According to the plan an assassin with a poisoned ring was to be mingled with a crowd of French war veterans when DeGaulle was holding a tion Late in the day when it was presumed DeGaulle would be weary and his hand perhaps numbed by hundreds of clasps the assassin would jii asp his hand and DeGaulle could not feel the pinprick ol the poison going into his flesh Noting that the matter bore some resemblances to plots in The Day of the Jackal a fictional account of a plot against DeGaulle wrote that in the outline presented to the congressional leaders there is no hint of what the CIA s actual role might have been had the plot reached fruition Also there is no indication whether the CIA was to have arranged lor the assassin provided the ring or given its unofficial sanction to the killing through financial or other support There was no evidence President Johnson knew of the discussions the Tribune said The Tribune said that neth O Donnell and David Powers aides to Kennedy were reported to have told investigators soon after the Nov assassination that they thought they had observed shots coming from a location other than the Texas School Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald was believed to have stationed himself But some time before O Don nell and Powers submitted accounts to the Warren Commission bv lion and affidavit according to the CIA liaison officer either Hoover the late FBI director or his top aides prevailed on the men not to disclose their suspicions to the commission the Tribune said true the reasons must have been
