I presume that you have noticed...that I informed you in writing BEFORE President Reagan was attacked, shot...that my UFOs were going to attack those higher-ups* in the U.S. Government.
Just one "coincidence" after another after another...isn't it.
And when The Space Shuttle goes up next week...or whenever...my UFOs will be after it to destroy it...like a bolt of lightning going after and zapping a steel bridge. After which another "coincidence" will have occurred.

all the govt. is interested in is what I have with my 3 powers, as a weapon. So they keep me under surveil. watching how far I can go with my 3 powers in a destructive, negative way.

My UFOs today communicated.
Because time is so short (before a nuclear shootout, which will involve the whole world directly and indirectly)...they are raising "the ante" now in order to try and get the Base they want so desperately (five million).
They are going to attack the higher-ups in the U.S. Government. I do not know what they have in mind, but it should be quite bad.
This action is a "back-up" for the file which I have just sent to you.
You will be able to keep score on the government bigwigs as it happens, in the newspapers.
Now, of course, we will be dealing with the "5 Projects PK Attack."

# Inquiries into rumor spread tale of gun assault on Bush
THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, MARCH 22, 1981
WASHINGTON (AP) -- For days, it's been the hottest rumor in a city that thrives on gossip about the mighty and powerful of government: that Vice President George Bush had been shot at and suffered a minor wound on a Capitol Hill street late one night.
The rumor spread so quickly and widely that Bush, exasperated, finally asked the FBI to interview him about it last Friday -- even though the FBI was not conducting an investigation, according to The Washington Post.
The Post, in Sunday's editions, traced the birth and spread of the rumor, detailing how efforts by various news agencies to track it down actually spread it further.
The rumor has no basis in fact, the Post concluded. That was the same conclusion drawn by several Associated Press reporters who also heard it and tried to pin it down. White House press secretary James S. Brady was asked Saturday about the persistent rumor, and he insisted it was "without foundation."
Depending on the teller, the story had various embellishments, but generally, the basis of the story was that Bush had been shot and grazed in the arm on a Capitol Hill sidewalk.
The rumor began, the Post said, when a young woman artist ran into the street late one night last month, trying to help the victim of a traffic accident. At the scene, she saw a policeman she knew. He told her, she says, that Bush had been shot nearby. The policeman says he told her no such thing.
When the artist, who declined to be named, returned to her apartment, she turned on the television and radio to hear more details but heard nothing. Seeking information, she then called both wire services, the Post and a television station.
The woman told the Post she believed the policeman because she had come to know him several weeks earlier, when she had witnessed a murder and the policeman was one of the law officers who arrived.
The day after the traffic accident, the artist told a friend what she thought she had heard the policeman say about Bush. In turn, her friend told two of his friends, including a person who worked for columnist Jack Anderson.
From there, the rumor spread, the Post said, despite denials that anything like it had occurred. The denials came from the Secret Service, police, the U.S. attorney and Bush' press office.
At one point, the newspaper said, two Post reporters visited a District police official, who denied that anything had occurred. But the reporters saw a pad of paper on his desk with Bush's name, the word "assault" and information about a time, date and place.
Eventually, then, the rumor grew to include the word that the Post had a "police report" on the case. In fact, the newspaper said, the official's words on the paper were his notes of a conversation police had with a television reporter who had called to try to track down the rumor.
When the rumors reached Bush, he was angry and unbelieving, the Post said.
The rumor even became part of a White House press briefing Tuesday, the Post said, when Larry Speakes, President Reagan's deputy press secretary, was asked if Reagan "was concerned about the large number of rumors circulating" about the alleged incident.
Speakes, according to the briefing transcript published by the Post, promised he would "check on the president's concern ... of the rumor of rumors." But none of the exchange was apparently printed or broadcast, the Post said.

# President wounded by gunman, in good condition after surgery
## Press aide critical; 2 others hurt
By JACK NELSON and GEORGE SKELTON
LA-Times Washington Post Service
WASHINGTON -- President Reagan was shot by a young gunman Monday and underwent immediate emergency surgery for removal of a bullet that lodged in his left lung.
Doctors described his condition after an operation of less than two hours as good and said that his life was never in serious danger. Surgeons removed fragments of a .22-caliber bullet that had penetrated his lung by three inches.
Three other persons were seriously wounded in the assassination attempt: White House press secretary James S. Brady, 40; Secret Service agent Timothy J. McCarthy, 31; and District of Columbia policeman Thomas Delahanty, 45.
A bullet passed through Brady's brain, leaving him in extremely critical condition.
John Warnock Hinckley Jr., 25, of Evergreen, Colo., was pounced on and arrested at the scene of the shooting by Secret Service agents and police officers. He was charged with attempting to assassinate the president and assault with intent to kill a police officer.
Roger Young of the FBI described the weapon as a "Saturday night special" and said it was purchased at a Dallas gun shop.
The gunman fired six shots in rapid succession at Reagan as the president and his party left the Washington Hilton Hotel following a speech to a union convention. He fired at close range, from a distance of no more than 10 to 15 feet from the president, witnesses said.
The assassination attempt touched off an air of national crisis, with Vice President George Bush hurriedly flying back to the capital from a speaking engagement in Texas in case he was called on to assume presidential duties. The Senate adjourned early, and in New York City, both the New York and American stock exchanges halted all trading.
Immediately after returning to Washington Monday evening, Bush told reporters in the White House briefing room: "I can assure the nation and a watching world the American government is functioning fully and effectively."
Larry Speakes, the deputy White House press secretary, said Bush would preside over a Cabinet meeting Tuesday and would meet with congressional leaders later.
Earlier, Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and other members of the Cabinet gathered in the "situation room" of the White House, where all national crises are monitored. Haig, grim-faced and dressed in a pinstriped suit, appeared highly nervous as he told reporters in reply to their questions that he was "in control" pending Bush's return.
After his operation, Reagan's condition was described by doctors as so good that he would be able to make decisions of state by Tuesday.
Dr. Dennis O'Leary, dean of George Washington University Hospital for Clinical Affairs, said that the president was in the operating room for two hours, but 45 minutes of that time was spent making certain that there was no bleeding in the abdominal cavity.
The bullet that hit Reagan entered under his armpit, ricocheted off his seventh rib and penetrated the lung. The lung collapsed, but physicians re-inflated it in the emergency room before the operation.
The president received 2½ quarts of blood in transfusions prior to the operation, but none during the surgery.
Dr. O'Leary said that the bullet and fragments of it never came closer than several inches from Reagan's heart.
He said the president was "an excellent physical specimen" and despite his age of 70, was "physiologically young."
O'Leary said his "guesstimate" was that the president could be well enough to leave the hospital within two weeks.
There is no reason to believe that there would be any significant postoperative problems, O'Leary said.
The surgery was performed by two physicians on the hospital staff -- Benjamin Aaron, a cardiovascular surgeon, and Joseph Giordano, head of the hospital trauma team.
Reagan was smiling and walking on the sidewalk outside the hotel, approaching his limousine, when several persons in a small crowd nearby shouted, "Mr. President." He turned toward the crowd as shots rang out.
The president looked stunned as a Secret Service agent quickly shoved him into the waiting limousine. The car sped off to George Washington University Hospital.
He walked unassisted into the hospital, holding his right hand to his left chest, a spot of blood showing on his shirt. And he remained conscious before the operation, joking with aides and friends who visited him.
Reagan said to his wife, "Honey, I forgot to duck." And he told a close friend, Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., "Don't worry about me. I'll make it."

ACTION, REACTION -- As shots are fired, President Reagan stops waving to crowd, top, looks back toward sound and grimaces as fast-reacting Secret Service agents hustle him into his limousine outside a Washington hotel Monday. Reagan, wounded by one bullet that penetrated his side, was rushed to a hospital.
=== Page 7 of 29
He winked at James Baker, White House chief of staff, as he was being wheeled into the operating room and told his physicians, "Please tell me you're Republicans."
Despite the president's joking, the shooting and the seriousness of the injury left Washington and much of the country in a state of shock.
The Senate was reconvened shortly after 6 p.m. by the majority leader, Sen. Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn, so that Sen. John C. Danforth, R-Mo., an Episcopal priest, could deliver a prayer for the president, another for the other victims and a third one for the country.
In his prayer for the president, Danforth said, "Look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy. . . . Restore him to health."
Praying for the country, Danforth said, "Grant us thy help in this hour of need."
The FBI, which assumed jurisdiction of the investigation into the shooting, said that it had no indication that anyone except Hinkley was involved.
"All the information we have now points to the fact that he was the only one," an FBI spokesman said.
A light rain was falling as Reagan, bareheaded, walked toward his car and waved at the crowd outside.
Hank Brown, a cameraman for ABC-TV who filmed the shooting, said the suspect did not say anything, but "just opened up and continued squeezing the trigger."
The gunman was among a cluster of several persons, including reporters and onlookers, who were standing behind a velvet rope used to cordon off the crowd.
Pandemonium broke out as the shots were fired. Brady, McCarthy and Delahanty all slumped to the sidewalk.
Mike Deaver, a top Reagan aide, and several other aides accompanying the president ducked at the sound of gunfire and escaped injury. An aide carrying the "black box" suitcase containing emergency communications equipment scampered to safety and then disappeared, apparently accompanying the president to the hospital.
The scene, filmed by television crews and telecast repeatedly across the nation, was chaotic. Three victims were crumpled on the sidewalk, bleeding profusely, and officers, many with drawn guns, swarmed over the gunman and yelled to onlookers to "Get back. Get back."
The Secret Service agents brandished Uzi's, Israeli-made submachine guns that the service has been using for several years.
Brady, pudgy and balding, known for his affability and sense of humor, lay face down. He raised his head once or twice and then was still. Someone placed a handerchief under his head but a pool of blood had already formed on the sidewalk.
A handgun was lying near his head. The other victims lay nearby, almost within reach of Brady, both lying still.
Washington suddenly became a city of wailing sirens as ambulances rushed to the scene to carry the wounded to hospitals.
# Hinckley kin asked to dine with Bush son
HOUSTON (UPI) -- The brother of John W. Hinckley Jr., the man accused of shooting President Reagan, was to have been a dinner guest Tuesday night at the home of Vice President Bush's son, Neil, the Houston Post said in a copyright story Tuesday.
Neil Bush, who lives in Denver, said Monday his family knew the Hinckley family because they'd made large contributions to the vice president's campaign.
He said he once met Scott Hinckley, but could not recall meeting his younger brother, who is accused of shooting Reagan and three other men Monday.
Bush's wife, Sharon, said the dinner was canceled.
Scott Hinckley is vice president of his father's Denver-based oil firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corp. He could not be reached for comment.

CIA eyes hocus-pocus
March 30, 1981
WASHINGTON - In James Bond circles, nothing is too farfetched to be dismissed. The Central Intelligence Agency, for example, has been toying for years with the idea of using extrasensory perception in its work - spurred on by the suspicion that the Russians have somehow succeeded in opening an ESP gap.
I've already reported on the Pentagon's $6-million-a-year research to develop ESP weapons that can brainwash or incapacitate enemy leaders by thought transfer, deliver nuclear bombs instantaneously thousands of miles away by psychic energy, or even create a protective "time warp" to make incoming Soviet missiles explode harmlessly in the past.
These wacky projects have support from the Defense Intelligence Agency, which reports that the Russians have been doing intensive research in the field for nearly 50 years. The DIA even credits the omnipotent Kremlin scientists with successfully demonstrating ESP's deadly potential on insects, a possibility that should bring joy to farmers and backyard gardeners - and strike terror in the insecticide industry.
The CIA, though historically less alarmist about the Red Menace than the Pentagon spooks are, has also been monitoring Soviet ESP research and pondering the possibility of less bizarre psychic weapons. A top-secret report on the subject by a CIA scientific expert has been examined by my associate Dale Van Atta.
The analysts estimated that "the Soviet military and KGB have had a covert applied parapsychology program since the mid-1960s." This was the period when the CIA was experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs on unsuspecting Americans and with foot powder that would make Fidel Castro's beard fall out.
The CIA warns that the Soviets may be "ahead of the U.S. in parapsychology." Evidence of Soviet progress is sketchy because the Kremlin's voodoo scientists, the CIA suspects, have gone undercover. Intelligence sources estimate that at least 200 Soviet experts in various disciplines are working on ESP weapons development.
The CIA report identified several specific areas of suspected Soviet study:
- "Electrostatics of telekinesis," or the ability to move objects by mental concentration.
- "Extremely low frequencies of electromagnetic radiation for information transmission." This may have been what the KGB was up to when it bombarded the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with microwave radiation for nearly 20 years.
- Application of theories involving links between the way the human brain and electronic computers operate.
- Remote monitors and stimulators to determine - or influence - another person's physical condition by telepathy, like a Haitian witch doctor might try.
- High-frequency analysis of an electroencephalogram - a sort of wiretapping of someone's brain waves.
The area of Soviet ESP research that really has the CIA's mouth watering is the possibility of "remote viewing" by telepathy from thousands of miles away. Who'd need a mole in the Kremlin if a psychic sitting at a desk in Washington could zoom in mentally on a super-secret Soviet missile site or a Politburo meeting?

# 'And Don't Move'
(Martha Owens is the distaff half of Bogarde and Lovella, a knife-throwing act which works clubs throughout the West but the couple lives in Phoenix. Her husband, Ted, began throwing knives as a hobby and turned professional at 21, both as an instructor and as a performer. Mrs. Owens is a relative newcomer to show business. In her story she tells how she came to be in it and reveals some of her reactions on stage.)
### by Martha Owens
THE NEXT TIME YOUR husband throws a dirty shirt on the floor, think about me. Mine throws knives at me. Around me, I mean. He set me straight on that the first time I met him. I asked what a big board leaning against a wall was for and he said a knife-throwing act.
"You mean somebody lets you throw knives at her?" I asked.
"Around," he said, "not at."
"She must be crazy!"
"You want to try?" he asked and I told him, not me.
A FEW WEEKS LATER he asked me again. I don't know which part of me, Czech or Cherokee, said yes. I had seen him work in the meantime and it looked safe enough.
He told me how to stand with my hands folded and elbows pulled in close. "And don't move," he said, but he could have saved his breath. I was too scared to.
"I never hit anybody yet," he said when he walked away. I guess he said that to make me feel better. It did help a little but not enough to keep me from thinking to myself, I hope he doesn't break his good record with me standing here.
THE FIRST ONE HIT somewhere near my left ear. I didn't see it coming because he told me not to look at him. I heard it hit though. It made the same "thonk!" a broom handle makes banged on a table. I felt it hit, too, so hard it made my head bob.
I was all set to let it go at that but he was reared back to throw another one so I stood still. He threw six all told, three down each side even with my head, waist and legs.
"That wasn't too bad, was it?" he asked.
I STEPPED AWAY from the board and took a quick look at where I had been standing. "It was all right, I guess," I said, "but, boy, I sure wouldn't want to make a living that way!"
"Why not?" he asked me. "We could work up an act." I don't remember exactly what I said then, but I let him know quick I didn't think much of the idea. He asked me a lot of times after that and finally convinced me, but he had to marry me to make me say, yes.
TED HAD WORKED with partners before, and solo too, but he wanted our act to be different. He had seen others at nightclubs and places like that and on TV, and he wanted to outdo them. He came up with some tricky ones he says only we do. For example, he throws a knife through a hat (with me in it!), throws backwards looking in a mirror, and throws 20 knives into a five by six foot board which, when you figure how much room I take up, doesn't leave much room!
There are some things we do only one other act does, he says, like busting a balloon I hold in my teeth and a blindfold throw.
I got kind of a creepy feeling when he told me how he got the idea for the blindfold throw. He said when he was a kid he saw a movie with Eric Von Stroheim playing the part of a knife-thrower whose wife was fooling around with another man. He, her husband, decided to kill her by missing on purpose. He figured he could say it was an accident and, being blindfolded and all, nobody could prove it was murder. I wasn't doing anything wrong, but even so...!
WE WORKED ABOUT A year and a half before Ted was satisfied we were ready. Our first appearance was on a TV show in Seattle (we appeared on the Steve Allen Show later on) and then we began working nightclubs.
A funny thing happened at one place--and with the blindfold throw, too! The only time I move my hands is when I tap a thimble at the place where Ted is to throw. Some heckler tried to be funny and tapped on his table behind Ted. My husband turned around and made like he was going to throw that way. I don't know who was scared the most. I yelled and the people at the table ducked. I guess he shook them up so they'll never try that again.
Usually, though, people are quiet during our act. Nightclub managers have told us we scare people sober which

is pretty good publicity for our act and more business for the nightclub.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, I was supposed to pull the knives out of the board while he announced what we were going to do next. Some were buried so deep, I had a dickens of a time. One night I got hold of a real stubborn one and put my knee up against the board so I could get a real tug at it. The audience laughed and Ted didn't know what was going on until he turned around and looked. That was enough for me and now he pulls them out. I didn't want to look like a nut.
Our act is pretty serious so we play it straight. Sometimes in the part where I hold a balloon in my teeth, Ted will build up suspense a little by missing once or twice on purpose. To be frank about it, it makes me jumpy too. I want him to get it over with fast, but not for the reason most people think. I've learned to live with knives hitting close to me, but balloons popping scare me. People think I'm kidding when I tell them that, but it's the truth.
Most people have the wrong idea about a knife-thrower's partner. Either they think she is scared green or bored stiff. With me, it's somewhere in the middle.
WORKING ALL THIS while with Ted has taught me to trust his skill, but at the same time I know what could happen. Once a reporter asked me what I thought about while the act is going on. I guess he thought I was going to say I thought about what I was going to fix for lunch the next day or about a dress I had seen in a store window because he looked surprised when I told him:
"I think about those knives."

# Knife-Throwing Target Shakes Without Music
By JIM WATTS
Beacon Staff Writer
Pardon me, if my typing is twisty. Not dance-like, exactly, but shimmery.
I'm more or less still shaking from an experience foreign to Caspar Milquetoasts: I was a target for a professional knife-thrower.
A fellow from Arizona, Ted Owens, is in town appearing at the Stardust Supper Club in the act, Bogarde and Lovella. He's Bogarde when working; Lovella is his wife, Martha. He hurls daggers at her as she leans against a king-sized backboard. The point is (no pun intended) he pins a border of steel around her and nobody flinches but the audience.
My anxiety?
Well, to get this story, Bogarde, who also is a hypnotist and mind-reader, assured me a first-person account would not be valid unless I subbed for Lovella. Sort of a practice session.
As a rule, most practice sessions--rehearsals really--are chock full of flaws. This ran through my mind and I could picture myself chock full of punctures if Bogarde wasn't up to snuff.
I don't know which world Bogarde was in at the time he propositioned me for blade bait: Hypnotic or mind-reading?
It would seem he surely must have been in a hypnotist mood to be able to convince this one of the non-danger involved standing up there while he threw weapons my way. If he had been in the mind-reading temper, he surely would have been on my wave-length and detected the misgivings swirling around in my head.
Apparently, Bogarde was merely in a knife-throwing frame of mind.
In any event, hypnotized or no, I played the pigeon.
Bogarde emphasized my main contribution was to stay rigidly still. This works well in theory, but at face-down-time, with that steel coming at you lickety-split, some have a compulsion to dance--and with no music!
Nonetheless, this writer stood reasonably composed, though some viewers maintained it was because of a state of shock.
The first knife thudded into the backboard a hair's breadth from my left ear. I wasn't sure whether I really heard it go by, or whether part of the hearing organ was attached to the blade and I was getting delayed sound--like maybe an echo.
Before I had time to worry, however, knife No. 2 thonked into the board on my right, microbes away. Rapidly now came knives Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. I was surrounded by silverware with no penchant for eating. Somehow, the appetite had waned, much like my ambition for a long life.
Came the applause and I reawakened. Anybody who says there isn't a little ham in all of us had better not tarry around a packing plant.
Because, when that clapping started, yours truly forgot his moments-before cowardliness and despite amateur status in the entertainment department, took three bows before he realized the folks were cheering Bogarde, not the stiletto fodder.
Two or three colas later, the shakes set in, though, friends and it's then one appreciates Methuselah's wisdom. Nowhere in the Bible, I am told, does it relate anything about Methuselah being the foreground part of a knife-throwing act.
But, then, really, who wants to live 900 years with rock 'n' roll, taxes and Ben Casey?
Bogarde and Lovella appear three times nightly at the Stardust Club, at 9:30, 11:30 and 1:30.

Kennedy Asks Support for Deaf Olympics
United Press International
The Senate was asked yesterday by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, (D-N.Y.,) to give "wholehearted support" to a series of Olympic Games where the Athletes will never hear the shouts from the crowd.
Kennedy told his colleagues that more than 1000 athletes from 29 nations will compete in Washington June 26 through July 3 in the 10th annual International Games for The Deaf.
"Surely these games inspire and challenge young men and women burdened by deafness to aspire to wider roles of leadership and usefulness in society," he said.
President Johnson is honorary chairman of the games and the sponsors include Kennedy, Associate Supreme Court Justice Byron White, Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, (R-Mass.,) and Anthony J. Celebrezze, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.

# Inquiries into rumor spread tale of gun assault on Bush
THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, MARCH 22, 1981
WASHINGTON (AP) -- For days, it's been the hottest rumor in a city that thrives on gossip about the mighty and powerful of government: that Vice President George Bush had been shot at and suffered a minor wound on a Capitol Hill street late one night.
The rumor spread so quickly and widely that Bush, exasperated, finally asked the FBI to interview him about it last Friday -- even though the FBI was not conducting an investigation, according to The Washington Post.
The Post, in Sunday's editions, traced the birth and spread of the rumor, detailing how efforts by various news agencies to track it down actually spread it further.
The rumor has no basis in fact, the Post concluded. That was the same conclusion drawn by several Associated Press reporters who also heard it and tried to pin it down. White House press secretary James S. Brady was asked Saturday about the persistent rumor, and he insisted it was "without foundation."
Depending on the teller, the story had various embellishments, but generally, the basis of the story was that Bush had been shot and grazed in the arm on a Capitol Hill sidewalk.
The rumor began, the Post said, when a young woman artist ran into the street late one night last month, trying to help the victim of a traffic accident. At the scene, she saw a policeman she knew. He told her, she says, that Bush had been shot nearby. The policeman says he told her no such thing.
When the artist, who declined to be named, returned to her apartment, she turned on the television and radio to hear more details but heard nothing. Seeking information, she then called both wire services, the Post and a television station.
The woman told the Post she believed the policeman because she had come to know him several weeks earlier, when she had witnessed a murder and the policeman was one of the law officers who arrived.
The day after the traffic accident, the artist told a friend what she thought she had heard the policeman say about Bush. In turn, her friend told two of his friends, including a person who worked for columnist Jack Anderson.
From there, the rumor spread, the Post said, despite denials that anything like it had occurred. The denials came from the Secret Service, police, the U.S. attorney and Bush' press office.
At one point, the newspaper said, two Post reporters visited a District police official, who denied that anything had occurred. But the reporters saw a pad of paper on his desk with Bush's name, the word "assault" and information about a time, date and place.
Eventually, then, the rumor grew to include the word that the Post had a "police report" on the case. In fact, the newspaper said, the official's words on the paper were his notes of a conversation police had with a television reporter who had called to try to track down the rumor.
When the rumors reached Bush, he was angry and unbelieving, the Post said.
The rumor even became part of a White House press briefing Tuesday, the Post said, when Larry Speakes, President Reagan's deputy press secretary, was asked if Reagan "was concerned about the large number of rumors circulating" about the alleged incident.
Speakes, according to the briefing transcript published by the Post, promised he would "check on the president's concern ... of the rumor of rumors." But none of the exchange was apparently printed or broadcast, the Post said.

# President wounded by gunman, in good condition after surgery
## Press aide critical; 2 others hurt
By JACK NELSON and GEORGE SKELTON
LA-Times Washington Post Service
WASHINGTON -- President Reagan was shot by a young gunman Monday and underwent immediate emergency surgery for removal of a bullet that lodged in his left lung.
Doctors described his condition after an operation of less than two hours as good and said that his life was never in serious danger. Surgeons removed fragments of a .22-caliber bullet that had penetrated his lung by three inches.
Three other persons were seriously wounded in the assassination attempt: White House press secretary James S. Brady, 40; Secret Service agent Timothy J. McCarthy, 31; and District of Columbia policeman Thomas Delahanty, 45.
A bullet passed through Brady's brain, leaving him in extremely critical condition.
John Warnock Hinckley Jr., 25, of Evergreen, Colo., was pounced on and arrested at the scene of the shooting by Secret Service agents and police officers. He was charged with attempting to assassinate the president and assault with intent to kill a police officer.
Roger Young of the FBI described the weapon as a "Saturday night special" and said it was purchased at a Dallas gun shop.
The gunman fired six shots in rapid succession at Reagan as the president and his party left the Washington Hilton Hotel following a speech to a union convention. He fired at close range, from a distance of no more than 10 to 15 feet from the president, witnesses said.
The assassination attempt touched off an air of national crisis, with Vice President George Bush hurriedly flying back to the capital from a speaking engagement in Texas in case he was called on to assume presidential duties. The Senate adjourned early, and in New York City, both the New York and American stock exchanges halted all trading.
Immediately after returning to Washington Monday evening, Bush told reporters in the White House briefing room: "I can assure the nation and a watching world the American government is functioning fully and effectively."
Larry Speakes, the deputy White House press secretary, said Bush would preside over a Cabinet meeting Tuesday and would meet with congressional leaders later.
Earlier, Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. and other members of the Cabinet gathered in the "situation room" of the White House, where all national crises are monitored. Haig, grim-faced and dressed in a pinstriped suit, appeared highly nervous as he told reporters in reply to their questions that he was "in control" pending Bush's return.
After his operation, Reagan's condition was described by doctors as so good that he would be able to make decisions of state by Tuesday.
Dr. Dennis O'Leary, dean of George Washington University Hospital for Clinical Affairs, said that the president was in the operating room for two hours, but 45 minutes of that time was spent making certain that there was no bleeding in the abdominal cavity.
The bullet that hit Reagan entered under his armpit, ricocheted off his seventh rib and penetrated the lung. The lung collapsed, but physicians re-inflated it in the emergency room before the operation.
The president received 2½ quarts of blood in transfusions prior to the operation, but none during the surgery.
Dr. O'Leary said that the bullet and fragments of it never came closer than several inches from Reagan's heart.
He said the president was "an excellent physical specimen" and despite his age of 70, was "physiologically young."
O'Leary said his "guesstimate" was that the president could be well enough to leave the hospital within two weeks.
There is no reason to believe that there would be any significant postoperative problems, O'Leary said.
The surgery was performed by two physicians on the hospital staff -- Benjamin Aaron, a cardiovascular surgeon, and Joseph Giordano, head of the hospital trauma team.
Reagan was smiling and walking on the sidewalk outside the hotel, approaching his limousine, when several persons in a small crowd nearby shouted, "Mr. President." He turned toward the crowd as shots rang out.
The president looked stunned as a Secret Service agent quickly shoved him into the waiting limousine. The car sped off to George Washington University Hospital.
He walked unassisted into the hospital, holding his right hand to his left chest, a spot of blood showing on his shirt. And he remained conscious before the operation, joking with aides and friends who visited him.
Reagan said to his wife, "Honey, I forgot to duck." And he told a close friend, Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nev., "Don't worry about me. I'll make it."

ACTION, REACTION -- As shots are fired, President Reagan stops waving to crowd, top, looks back toward sound and grimaces as fast-reacting Secret Service agents hustle him into his limousine outside a Washington hotel Monday. Reagan, wounded by one bullet that penetrated his side, was rushed to a hospital.
=== Page 7 of 29
He winked at James Baker, White House chief of staff, as he was being wheeled into the operating room and told his physicians, "Please tell me you're Republicans."
Despite the president's joking, the shooting and the seriousness of the injury left Washington and much of the country in a state of shock.
The Senate was reconvened shortly after 6 p.m. by the majority leader, Sen. Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn, so that Sen. John C. Danforth, R-Mo., an Episcopal priest, could deliver a prayer for the president, another for the other victims and a third one for the country.
In his prayer for the president, Danforth said, "Look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy. . . . Restore him to health."
Praying for the country, Danforth said, "Grant us thy help in this hour of need."
The FBI, which assumed jurisdiction of the investigation into the shooting, said that it had no indication that anyone except Hinkley was involved.
"All the information we have now points to the fact that he was the only one," an FBI spokesman said.
A light rain was falling as Reagan, bareheaded, walked toward his car and waved at the crowd outside.
Hank Brown, a cameraman for ABC-TV who filmed the shooting, said the suspect did not say anything, but "just opened up and continued squeezing the trigger."
The gunman was among a cluster of several persons, including reporters and onlookers, who were standing behind a velvet rope used to cordon off the crowd.
Pandemonium broke out as the shots were fired. Brady, McCarthy and Delahanty all slumped to the sidewalk.
Mike Deaver, a top Reagan aide, and several other aides accompanying the president ducked at the sound of gunfire and escaped injury. An aide carrying the "black box" suitcase containing emergency communications equipment scampered to safety and then disappeared, apparently accompanying the president to the hospital.
The scene, filmed by television crews and telecast repeatedly across the nation, was chaotic. Three victims were crumpled on the sidewalk, bleeding profusely, and officers, many with drawn guns, swarmed over the gunman and yelled to onlookers to "Get back. Get back."
The Secret Service agents brandished Uzi's, Israeli-made submachine guns that the service has been using for several years.
Brady, pudgy and balding, known for his affability and sense of humor, lay face down. He raised his head once or twice and then was still. Someone placed a handerchief under his head but a pool of blood had already formed on the sidewalk.
A handgun was lying near his head. The other victims lay nearby, almost within reach of Brady, both lying still.
Washington suddenly became a city of wailing sirens as ambulances rushed to the scene to carry the wounded to hospitals.
# Hinckley kin asked to dine with Bush son
HOUSTON (UPI) -- The brother of John W. Hinckley Jr., the man accused of shooting President Reagan, was to have been a dinner guest Tuesday night at the home of Vice President Bush's son, Neil, the Houston Post said in a copyright story Tuesday.
Neil Bush, who lives in Denver, said Monday his family knew the Hinckley family because they'd made large contributions to the vice president's campaign.
He said he once met Scott Hinckley, but could not recall meeting his younger brother, who is accused of shooting Reagan and three other men Monday.
Bush's wife, Sharon, said the dinner was canceled.
Scott Hinckley is vice president of his father's Denver-based oil firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corp. He could not be reached for comment.

CIA eyes hocus-pocus
March 30, 1981
WASHINGTON - In James Bond circles, nothing is too farfetched to be dismissed. The Central Intelligence Agency, for example, has been toying for years with the idea of using extrasensory perception in its work - spurred on by the suspicion that the Russians have somehow succeeded in opening an ESP gap.
I've already reported on the Pentagon's $6-million-a-year research to develop ESP weapons that can brainwash or incapacitate enemy leaders by thought transfer, deliver nuclear bombs instantaneously thousands of miles away by psychic energy, or even create a protective "time warp" to make incoming Soviet missiles explode harmlessly in the past.
These wacky projects have support from the Defense Intelligence Agency, which reports that the Russians have been doing intensive research in the field for nearly 50 years. The DIA even credits the omnipotent Kremlin scientists with successfully demonstrating ESP's deadly potential on insects, a possibility that should bring joy to farmers and backyard gardeners - and strike terror in the insecticide industry.
The CIA, though historically less alarmist about the Red Menace than the Pentagon spooks are, has also been monitoring Soviet ESP research and pondering the possibility of less bizarre psychic weapons. A top-secret report on the subject by a CIA scientific expert has been examined by my associate Dale Van Atta.
The analysts estimated that "the Soviet military and KGB have had a covert applied parapsychology program since the mid-1960s." This was the period when the CIA was experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs on unsuspecting Americans and with foot powder that would make Fidel Castro's beard fall out.
The CIA warns that the Soviets may be "ahead of the U.S. in parapsychology." Evidence of Soviet progress is sketchy because the Kremlin's voodoo scientists, the CIA suspects, have gone undercover. Intelligence sources estimate that at least 200 Soviet experts in various disciplines are working on ESP weapons development.
The CIA report identified several specific areas of suspected Soviet study:
- "Electrostatics of telekinesis," or the ability to move objects by mental concentration.
- "Extremely low frequencies of electromagnetic radiation for information transmission." This may have been what the KGB was up to when it bombarded the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with microwave radiation for nearly 20 years.
- Application of theories involving links between the way the human brain and electronic computers operate.
- Remote monitors and stimulators to determine - or influence - another person's physical condition by telepathy, like a Haitian witch doctor might try.
- High-frequency analysis of an electroencephalogram - a sort of wiretapping of someone's brain waves.
The area of Soviet ESP research that really has the CIA's mouth watering is the possibility of "remote viewing" by telepathy from thousands of miles away. Who'd need a mole in the Kremlin if a psychic sitting at a desk in Washington could zoom in mentally on a super-secret Soviet missile site or a Politburo meeting?

Her husband, Ted, began throwing knives as a hobby and turned professional at 21, both as an instructor and as a performer. Mrs. Owens is a relative newcomer to show business. In her story she tells how she came to be in it and reveals some of her reactions on stage.)
### by Martha Owens
THE NEXT TIME YOUR husband throws a dirty shirt on the floor, think about me. Mine throws knives at me. Around me, I mean. He set me straight on that the first time I met him. I asked what a big board leaning against a wall was for and he said a knife-throwing act.
"You mean somebody lets you throw knives at her?" I asked.
"Around," he said, "not at."
"She must be crazy!"
"You want to try?" he asked and I told him, not me.
A FEW WEEKS LATER he asked me again. I don't know which part of me, Czech or Cherokee, said yes. I had seen him work in the meantime and it looked safe enough.
He told me how to stand with my hands folded and elbows pulled in close. "And don't move," he said, but he could have saved his breath. I was too scared to.
"I never hit anybody yet," he said when he walked away. I guess he said that to make me feel better. It did help a little but not enough to keep me from thinking to myself, I hope he doesn't break his good record with me standing here.
THE FIRST ONE HIT somewhere near my left ear. I didn't see it coming because he told me not to look at him. I heard it hit though. It made the same "thonk!" a broom handle makes banged on a table. I felt it hit, too, so hard it made my head bob.
I was all set to let it go at that but he was reared back to throw another one so I stood still. He threw six all told, three down each side even with my head, waist and legs.
"That wasn't too bad, was it?" he asked.
I STEPPED AWAY from the board and took a quick look at where I had been standing. "It was all right, I guess," I said, "but, boy, I sure wouldn't want to make a living that way!"
"Why not?" he asked me. "We could work up an act." I don't remember exactly what I said then, but I let him know quick I didn't think much of the idea. He asked me a lot of times after that and finally convinced me, but he had to marry me to make me say, yes.
TED HAD WORKED with partners before, and solo too, but he wanted our act to be different. He had seen others at nightclubs and places like that and on TV, and he wanted to outdo them. He came up with some tricky ones he says only we do. For example, he throws a knife through a hat (with me in it!), throws backwards looking in a mirror, and throws 20 knives into a five by six foot board which, when you figure how much room I take up, doesn't leave much room!
There are some things we do only one other act does, he says, like busting a balloon I hold in my teeth and a blindfold throw.
I got kind of a creepy feeling when he told me how he got the idea for the blindfold throw. He said when he was a kid he saw a movie with Eric Von Stroheim playing the part of a knife-thrower whose wife was fooling around with another man. He, her husband, decided to kill her by missing on purpose. He figured he could say it was an accident and, being blindfolded and all, nobody could prove it was murder. I wasn't doing anything wrong, but even so...!
WE WORKED ABOUT A year and a half before Ted was satisfied we were ready. Our first appearance was on a TV show in Seattle (we appeared on the Steve Allen Show later on) and then we began working nightclubs.
A funny thing happened at one place--and with the blindfold throw, too! The only time I move my hands is when I tap a thimble at the place where Ted is to throw. Some heckler tried to be funny and tapped on his table behind Ted. My husband turned around and made like he was going to throw that way. I don't know who was scared the most. I yelled and the people at the table ducked. I guess he shook them up so they'll never try that again.
Usually, though, people are quiet during our act. Nightclub managers have told us we scare people sober which

is pretty good publicity for our act and more business for the nightclub.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, I was supposed to pull the knives out of the board while he announced what we were going to do next. Some were buried so deep, I had a dickens of a time. One night I got hold of a real stubborn one and put my knee up against the board so I could get a real tug at it. The audience laughed and Ted didn't know what was going on until he turned around and looked. That was enough for me and now he pulls them out. I didn't want to look like a nut.
Our act is pretty serious so we play it straight. Sometimes in the part where I hold a balloon in my teeth, Ted will build up suspense a little by missing once or twice on purpose. To be frank about it, it makes me jumpy too. I want him to get it over with fast, but not for the reason most people think. I've learned to live with knives hitting close to me, but balloons popping scare me. People think I'm kidding when I tell them that, but it's the truth.
Most people have the wrong idea about a knife-thrower's partner. Either they think she is scared green or bored stiff. With me, it's somewhere in the middle.
WORKING ALL THIS while with Ted has taught me to trust his skill, but at the same time I know what could happen. Once a reporter asked me what I thought about while the act is going on. I guess he thought I was going to say I thought about what I was going to fix for lunch the next day or about a dress I had seen in a store window because he looked surprised when I told him:
"I think about those knives."

# Knife-Throwing Target Shakes Without Music
By JIM WATTS
Beacon Staff Writer
Pardon me, if my typing is twisty. Not dance-like, exactly, but shimmery.
I'm more or less still shaking from an experience foreign to Caspar Milquetoasts: I was a target for a professional knife-thrower.
A fellow from Arizona, Ted Owens, is in town appearing at the Stardust Supper Club in the act, Bogarde and Lovella. He's Bogarde when working; Lovella is his wife, Martha. He hurls daggers at her as she leans against a king-sized backboard. The point is (no pun intended) he pins a border of steel around her and nobody flinches but the audience.
My anxiety?
Well, to get this story, Bogarde, who also is a hypnotist and mind-reader, assured me a first-person account would not be valid unless I subbed for Lovella. Sort of a practice session.
As a rule, most practice sessions--rehearsals really--are chock full of flaws. This ran through my mind and I could picture myself chock full of punctures if Bogarde wasn't up to snuff.
I don't know which world Bogarde was in at the time he propositioned me for blade bait: Hypnotic or mind-reading?
It would seem he surely must have been in a hypnotist mood to be able to convince this one of the non-danger involved standing up there while he threw weapons my way. If he had been in the mind-reading temper, he surely would have been on my wave-length and detected the misgivings swirling around in my head.
Apparently, Bogarde was merely in a knife-throwing frame of mind.
In any event, hypnotized or no, I played the pigeon.
Bogarde emphasized my main contribution was to stay rigidly still. This works well in theory, but at face-down-time, with that steel coming at you lickety-split, some have a compulsion to dance--and with no music!
Nonetheless, this writer stood reasonably composed, though some viewers maintained it was because of a state of shock.
The first knife thudded into the backboard a hair's breadth from my left ear. I wasn't sure whether I really heard it go by, or whether part of the hearing organ was attached to the blade and I was getting delayed sound--like maybe an echo.
Before I had time to worry, however, knife No. 2 thonked into the board on my right, microbes away. Rapidly now came knives Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. I was surrounded by silverware with no penchant for eating. Somehow, the appetite had waned, much like my ambition for a long life.
Came the applause and I reawakened. Anybody who says there isn't a little ham in all of us had better not tarry around a packing plant.
Because, when that clapping started, yours truly forgot his moments-before cowardliness and despite amateur status in the entertainment department, took three bows before he realized the folks were cheering Bogarde, not the stiletto fodder.
Two or three colas later, the shakes set in, though, friends and it's then one appreciates Methuselah's wisdom. Nowhere in the Bible, I am told, does it relate anything about Methuselah being the foreground part of a knife-throwing act.
But, then, really, who wants to live 900 years with rock 'n' roll, taxes and Ben Casey?
Bogarde and Lovella appear three times nightly at the Stardust Club, at 9:30, 11:30 and 1:30.

Impressionist Gary Wells and exotic dancer Angel Wild are winding up their second busy week at the T-Bone Entertainment Restaurant. Bub Calvert and the T-Tones have backed them superbly . . .

A lot of folks migrate to Phoenix. Insurance men, auto salesmen, carpenters, newsmen and about every other type of wage earner.
But something new has been added in recent weeks. The knife-throwing team of Bogarde and Lovella, man and wife, has taken up residence here with their children. A few months ago they appeared on the Steve Allen TV show, and Bogarde framed him in foot-long knives.

Kennedy Asks Support for Deaf Olympics
United Press International
The Senate was asked yesterday by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, (D-N.Y.,) to give "wholehearted support" to a series of Olympic Games where the Athletes will never hear the shouts from the crowd.
Kennedy told his colleagues that more than 1000 athletes from 29 nations will compete in Washington June 26 through July 3 in the 10th annual International Games for The Deaf.
"Surely these games inspire and challenge young men and women burdened by deafness to aspire to wider roles of leadership and usefulness in society," he said.
President Johnson is honorary chairman of the games and the sponsors include Kennedy, Associate Supreme Court Justice Byron White, Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, (R-Mass.,) and Anthony J. Celebrezze, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
