But when the author died in 1940 at the age of 44. his request was denied by the Catholic Church on grounds that he was not a practicing Catholic and that his books were not the kind of reading material that found favor with church officials.

The author's body was buried instead in an inconspicuous grave in the Rockville Cemetery, also known as the old Union Cemetery, across the road from St. Mary's.

For 35 years the grave has been a shrine for students of literature, Fitzgerald admirers, old romantics and young lovers.

People still place flowers and deliver cards and occasional wedding announcements to the grave site, now chrouded by pines and oaks. Lettering on the square headstone has been worn down by the weather.

Speaking of the present gravesite, Frances Fitzgerald Lanahan Smith, Fitzgerald's daughter, said in a letter to Rockville officials:

"For 35 years the grave has remained uncared for and hopelessly unaccessible to the interested public.

"WE HAVE ARRANGED to move the remains from the old Union Cemetery to the family plot in St. Mary's."

According to a priest at St. Mary's Church, Mrs. Smith received permission for the move from the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.

Msgr. John Donahue, chancellor of the archdiocese, granted the request because, according to a spokesman, "other members of the family were already interred at the (St Mary's) site."

Mrs. Smith, a Washington resident, could not be reached for comment. She will be hostess at a luncheon Nov. 7 following a graveside service to mark the moving of the Fitzgeralds' remains.

situation 124 M. Kerrigan would be kind with a kind powered up upper floor of a tavern ring.

An FBI report says the same sent a report following the assassination and asked if he was guessing. The report quotes Miteer. "I don't do any guessing."

The FBI reports were given to the Warren Commission, but apparently the panel assigned little significance to them

The commission's appendix includes a report by the Secret Service of the investigation of an apparently related incident. The report indicates the Secret Service interviewed a member of the Ku Klux Klan who said less than two weeks before the assassination that "his sources have told him that a militant group of the National States Rights party plans to assassinate the President and other high-level officials."

THE KLANSMAN, who was not named in the report, was in jail at the time awaiting trial on a charge of auto theft. The Secret Service said the FBI believed the Klansman was just trying to strike a deal that would reduce the criminal charges he was facing. No action was taken and the Klansman was still in jail when Kennedy was killed Nov. 22, 1963.

The report of the Secret Service interview is included: the commission appendix along with 35 other reports of threats against the president or vice president.

Roy Frankhouser, an acknowledged informant for the Treasury Department's Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Division, was a national organizer for the States Rights party in the 1960s. He said in a telephone interview last week that piots to kill Kennedy were being hatched at a rate of "three or four a week" within the party.

The party frequently used extremely violent language in its newspaper, the Thunderbolt. There is some evidence that party members may have been involved in some anti-civil rights bombings in the South during the 1960s.

FRANKHOUSER, who said he was subpoenaed to testify before the Warner Commission but did not appear because the subpoena was canceled, said he had no first hand knowledge of Muteer's threat

But he noted that Oswald's notebook contained the name and telephone number of another anti-Semitic militant. Dames

Burrows Burrows committal suicide in Frankhouser home in Reading Park in after the New York Times reported he was half Jewish. Frankhouser declined to talk about any possible links between Oswald and Burrows.

An FBI report compiled two weeks after the assassination quotes Robert K. Brown, then an Army Reserve captain in training at Fort Benning, Ga., as saying that in the spring of 1963 Dr. Stanley L. Drennan, a North Hollywood, Calif., man active in the National States Rights party, spoke of a plan to "get rid of" Kennedy and a number of others. Brown said he discussed the remark as a "crackpot" comment.

Brown told the FBI that after the assassination he reassessed the conversation and concluded that Drennan may have been trying to recruit him as a possible assassin. If so, Drennan may have been attracted by Brown's anti-Castro sentiments.

The Warren Commission's own staff suggested prior to publication of the final report that speculation about a possible plot by Cuban emigrants opposed to Premier Fidel Castro "warrants additional investigation."

A III-PAGE memo to the commission drafted by staff members William T. Coleman Jr. — now secretary of transportation — and W. David Shawson outlined a possible scenario of an anti-Castro connection.

The memo was stamped "Top Secret" by the commission. Most of it was declassified earlier this year, although the version that was made public has been censored.

The evidence here could lead to an anti-Castro Cuban involvement in the assassination on some sort of basis as thus. Oswald could have become known to the Cubans as being strongly pro Castro. He made no secret of his sympathies, and so the anti-Castro Cubans must have realized that the law entervement authorities were also aware of Oswald's feelings and that therefore, if he got into trouble, the public would also learn of them. "the memo said.

Second, someone in the anti-Castro organization might have been keen enough to sense that Oswald had a penchant for violence that might easily be aroused.

ON THESE facts, it is possible that some sort of deception was used to encourage Oswald to kill the
