In addition to the Oswald note, there are more ominous suspicions about links between him and the FBI that are being explored by a Senate subcommittee headed by Pennsylvania Republican Richard Schweiker and Colorado Democrat Gary Hart. Schweiker even suspects that Oswald might have had a formal connection with the bureau. The Senator's suspicions rest in part on the linguistic ruse Hoover used when asked by the Warren Commission about the bureau's links to Oswald.

Though both measures were defeated, the votes for them illustrated how swiftly anti-oil feeling has risen in the Senate. Only two years ago, South Dakota Democrat James G. Abourezk sought support for a breakup bill and succeeded in rounding up only two cosponsors. More attempts to dismember the oil giants will be made, and the frontal assault on them could turn into a major issue for the Democrats in next year's presidential campaign. Indiana Senator Birch Bayh last week became the ninth Democrat to announce his candidacy, and he made a proposal to break...
