"Speculation.--Gordon Shanklin, the special agent in charge of the
Dallas office of the FBI, stated that the paraffin test of Oswald's
face and hands was positive and proved that he had fired a rifle.
Commission finding.--The paraffin tests were conducted by members of
the Dallas Police Department and the technical examinations by members
of the Dallas City-County Criminal Investigation Laboratory. The FBI
has notified the Commission that neither Shanklin nor any other >representative of the FBI ever made such a statement. The Commission
has found no evidence that Special Agent Shanklin ever made this
statement publicly." (WCR 647)
The commission certainly didn't look too hard, for Anthony Lewis wrote
a story in the New York Times of November 25, 1963 (pg 11 cols. 6-8)
which specified Gordon Shanklin as the source of information that a
paraffin test "showed that particles of gunpowder from a weapon,
probably a rifle, remained on Oswald's cheek and hands." Do you
suppose that the vast investigative power of the WC managed to miss a
New York Times article??
Once again, the Warren Commission simply lied.

Once again, the Warren Commission simply lied.I expected Corbutt to run, but it's interesting to note that Huckster
ran as well.
To say nothing of Chuckles & Chickenshit... and Von Penis
