"Kill the President’
Note found on
California Vagrant
BERKELEY, Calif. UP> — The
Secret Service says a man was
arrested in Berkeley, Calif., with
a note in his pocket reading, “The
immediate goal is the assassina
tion of President Johnson.” He is
identified as 29-year-old Robert
Fennell, formerly of Sioux City,
Iowa. The Secret Service chief
in San Francisco, Tom Hanson,
says he will file a complaint be
fore the U.S. Commissioner in
Oakland, charging Fennell with
threatening the President of the
United States. The Iowa man is
being held now on a vagrancy
charge.
Police said there were four
copies of the note which they said
were to have been sent to the
White House, a San Francisco
newspaper and to other publica
tions and organizations.
Officers quoted the note as say
ing in part: “I’m increasingly
sickened by the people’s reaction
to the assassination of President
Kennedy. Nowhere have I read
or heard the underlying reason.
Unless Americans accept their po
litical responsibility and abolish
the office of leader we shall con
tinue to abolish leaders.”
The San Francisco News Call
Bulletin talked by phone to Sioux
City sources. The paper said that
a psychiatrist in Sioux City, Dr.
Phillip Pugh, reported Fennell
was in a mental hospital at Chero
kee, Iowa, for a time in 1959, and
once threatened to kill a Sioux
City girl.
The first time Christmas cards
went on sale to the American
public was in 1875.

Christmas Gift to Santa
A pretty little girl jumped up on
the lap of a department store
Santa Claus in Springfield, Mis
souri. She gave him a hug, rubbed
her rosy cheeks in his snow-white
whiskers and whispered:
“Know what I got?”
Santa, in the person of a Central
Bible Student, David Serrell, re
plied he didn’t know.
The girl told him:
“The mumps.”
After she left, Santa Serreil
moaned:
“And I haven’t had them yet.”
