Johnson, devoted to "con tinuity without confusion," moved Tuesday into the presidential of fice of the White House and im mediately began carrying out the key policies of his slain prede cessor. Working from his own desk, the new President quickly arranged summit meetings early next year with Britain and France, con ferred for an hour with Russia's Anastas Mikoyan, and signalled his determination to carry out the domestic programs of John F. Kennedy. .

Kennedy. Johnson spoke to Latin Ameri can diplomats in the same White House room where the late Presi dent announced creation of the program almost three years ago. "We will carry on the job," Johnson declared. "Let the alli ance be his living memorial." Johnson's audience in the East Room of the Executive Mansion was made up of special delega tions from Latin American coun tries to Kennedy's funeral Mon day. He originally had planned to see them elsewhere but Mrs. Jac queline Kennedy suggested that Johnson invite them to the East Room because it was from there that Kennedy launched the Alli ance for Progerss program in 1961. Mrs. Kennedy herself was in the East room to hear Johnson re affirm her husband's policies to ward Latin America. "In a very special sense this is a family gathering," John son told the visitors. "Nothing in President Kennedy's public ca reer meant more to him than the ties of his country with yours." Johnson recalled that Kennedy's Alliance for Progress speech was "the first full-scale foreign policy address of his administration." "Today, with all of you in the same room, I reaffirm that alli ance and pledge all the energies of my government to those com mon goals," Johnson said. The East Room meeting was dosed to newsmen but Johnson repeated his remarks to report ers in the "fish room" outside his office ' and the event was carried on radio and television. Johnson conceded that "we all know there have been problems" in carrying out the alliance, a ten-year program of American ?id keyed to economic and social reforms in Latin countries. But he echoed Kennedy's in sistence that accomplishments since 1961 and the promise of success to come vindicated the late President's faith in the pro (Tar ilees To Win By 254 Own cut legislation in an address to a joint session of Congress at 12:30 p.m. today. The speech, to be carried by radio and television, is expected to run about 20 minutes. Moving smoothly from vice presidential to presidential tasks, the 55-year-old Texan quickly put his stamp on the White House office. The late President's famed rocking chair was gone but only to be replaced by another rocker more suited to the new Chief Executive. ..... , . -President: Johnson briefly; tried " out. a black leather upholstered chair he had brought in. But he soon sent out for a rocker of his it gram. In one of his last major speech es, Kennedy told the Inter-American Press Association in Miami Beach, Fla., Monday night four days before he was assassinated in Dallas that he believed more strongly in the alliance than ever before. "Inspired by his memory, and in the same spirit, we will carry or the job," Johnson asserted. Johnson's meeting with the La tin Americans and his public report on it were designed to put formally on the record the fact that as did Kennedy, Johnson plans to make the Alliance for Progress program a major part of U. S. foreign policy. Mrs. Kennedy was escorted in to the East Room by former Colombian President Lleras Ca margo. Mrs. Johnson also was present to hear the pronounce ment on the Alliance for Progress by her husband.

For cne thing, it has a cushioned headrest on its high back; Kennedy's did not. The slain President's antique desk was replaced with a more modern one. There was a new red rug on the floor. The re painted office walls were bare of decorations as yet. Johnson asked all members of the White House to remain on the job for the time being. He appeared to be relying heavily on McGeorge Bundy, presiden tial assistant for national secur ity affairs, who was at his side frequently., ' Bundy - was : one of Kennedy's most valued advisers. While these changes were underway in the business section of the White House, Mrs. Jac queline Kennedy packed her be longings in the living quarters and storage vans moved in and out. She was assured by Mrs. Johnson that the quarters were hers as long as she needed them. One of the President's first of a series of day-long conferences was with special assistant Law rence F. O'Brien, in charge of congressional affairs. It was to O'Brien that Johnson conveyed his determination to pursue the objectives of the Kennedy legis lative program. Key Democratic members of Congress were said to have agreed that there would be no slackening of the drive for ap proval of the civil rights and tax cut bills, cornerstones of the Kennedy domestic program. In explaining his decision to ad dress a joint session, Johnson said following President Ken nedy's funeral that "continuity without confusion has got to be our password." In rapid order during the day, the new President conferred with world leaders or their represen tatives who had come to the capital for the Kennedy funeral. He and British Prime Minis ter Sir Alec Douglas-Home agreed to meet formally early next year. The President and French leader Charles de Gaulle had agreed Monday night to confer in Washington early in 1964. Mikoyan, Soviet first deputy premier, said he and the Presi dent had a pleasant conversa tion. He said they did not speci fically discuss a Johnson-Khrushchev meeting, but agreed that U.S.-Soviet policy on such mat ters "remain as they were." Finally, Mikoyan said in reply to questions that he could not talk for Soviet Premier Khrush chev on the issue of a summit conference. Other presidential callers in cluded West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard; Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia; Irish Presi dent Eamon de Valera; Philip pine President Diosdada Maca pagal; Turkish Prime Minister Ismet Inonu, and heads of the funeral delegations from Latin American countries.

Ruby jumped from a crowd of newsmen in the police Police, FBI Plan Probes Of Assassination Details WASHINGTON (UPI) Three major investigations were de veloping yesterday into the as sassination of President Kennedy and the murder of his accused slayer, Lee Harvey Oswald. The inquiries by the FBI, the state of Texas and, possibly, the Senate Judiciary Committee were expected to reveal all the de tails surrounding the death of the President to cheke off at once any of the inevitable ru mors of a "plot." As one senator remarked, "Some people debated for a cen tury whether John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln. Now is the time to get the whole story of the Kennedy assassination." President Johnson assured the nation Monday night all the facts disclosed in the FBI investiga tion would be made public. He ordered all federal agen cies to cooperate with the FBI and the Justice Department in a "prompt and thorough investi gation of all the circumstances" surrounding the two killings. "The people of the nation may be sure that all of the facts will be made public," tha President said in a statement. The FBI is positive that Os wald fired the two fatal bullets which killed Kennedy in Dallas last Friday, but it hopes to build an irrefutable case against the cx-Marine. - The Justice Department said it would lend whatever aid Texas officials needed in the state's in vestigation. Texas Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr announced after See Etfife, All Or Kennedy's funeral that a "court of inquiry" would be called to consider the slayings. The court, similar to a fact finding board but with the power to subpoena witnesses, would serve to replace the trial of Os wald that cannot now be held. It makes findings, but they do not have the force of law and are not privileged; that is, they may be used only at the risk of libel. Members of the Senate Judi ciary Committee were reported to feel that the Texas investiga tion would not be enough. "Too Ruby Indicted; In Good Spirits DALLAS (UPI) A county grand jury Tuesday indicted flashy Jack Ruby for murder with malice in the vengeful slay ing of President Kennedy's ac cused assassin. Dist. Atty. Henry Wade said he would ask the death penalty and requested that Ruby be held without bond. Tom Howard, Ruby's attorney, said he will apply for a writ of habeas corpus next week and will ask that his client be freed in bond.

Press International Service morrow Bowl Bid, ACC Title At Stake Ajraiiist Devils By JOHN MONTAGUE North Carolina's football team, which has met one test alter another this fall, faces its most important examination of the season tomorrow afternoon in Durham, and the final grade will be either an "A" or an "F." The Duke Blue Devils are ex pected to be anything but graci ous hosts and could easily put a damper on the Tar Heels' most successful year on the gridiron since 1949. This is tho 49th meet ing (Duke leads series, 25-20-3) between the two arch rivals a spirited series in which anything goes. Kick-off time is 2 p.m. for the Thanksgiving Day struggle, orig inally scheduled for last Satur day, but postponed due to the death of President Kennedy. A share of the ACC champion ship awaits the winner, and if the Tar Heels are able to hold off the underdog hosts, they may pluck an even juicier plum an invitation to a major post-season bowl game. Coach Jim Ilickey's Heels have been rated a very slight favorite to win their eighth game of the season against two losses, but pre - game speculation often means less than nothing in this series. Duke was a slim choice in 1959, when UNC rolled, 50-0. In 1960, the Blue Devils were a solid pick only to fall, 7-6. One year later Duke was a small fav orite, but had to kick an eleventh hour field goal to win it, 6-3. And last fall it was another last-gasp field goal which pulled it out for the heavily favored Davils. 16-14. Both teams enter the Turkey Day skirmish with identical 5-1 conference marks. The winner tomorrow will be the ACC co- champion along with the N. C. State Wolfpack, which finished 6-1 in the ACC with a 42-0 rout of Wake Forest Friday night. Coach Bill Murray's Blue Dev ils, who have owned the ACC or the past three seasons, boast one of the nation's most potent offensive attacks. They have averaged 24 points per game in compiling a 5-3-1 record. All-America halfback Jay Wil kinson (6-1, 1) is the most ex plosive Blue Devil. The fleet Oklahoman has rushed for 563 yards in 105 carries this fall, and has found the end zone on 11 oc casions, placing him among the country's top scorers. His rushing total places him only 15 yards behind UNC's Ken Willard as the two battle down to the wire for the ACC ground gaining title. Scotty Glacken (5-10, 175) pilots the Duke attack and the Devils' second biggest weapon has been the pass from the bril liant soph to his lonely end, Stan Crisson '6-2, 200). Glacken has connected on 85 of 173 passes for 1,043 yards and 11 touchdowns. On the other end, Crisson has snagged 42 for 517 yards and seven TD's. Both Glacken's TD pa5ses and Crisson's TD. catches are conference records. In addition. Crisson's 90 career grabs place him in a good po sition to challenge the Heels' Bob Laccy for the all-time ACC record in this department. Lacey, UNC's own All-America, has 92 i Continued on Page 3)
