Brown promptly overruled it. The defence lawyers, Melvin Belli and Joe Tonahill, said they based the motion on the result of a neugological exam- ination of Ruby conducted Jan. Ruby is charged with murder with malice in the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of President Kennedy. Tonahill said that the ence- phalographic record showed "brain damage." James Bowie, assistant dis- trict-attorney, leaped to his' feet barking objections. Belli then rose and a heated wrangle broke out on the question of what Bowie called "no proce- dure" for this. In overruling the motion for acquittal, the judge said "that is a matter for the jury to de- cide." The defence also offered two motions on grounds of double jeopardy and res judicata--that is, the question already had been adjudicated. These appar- ently were based on testimony introduced in a bond hearing hearing and in a hearing on a motion to transfer the trial to another city. Judge Brown, asked about double jeopardy motion, said, "I don't know. There is no pro- vision for it in Texas law. Of, course, they're basing all their motions on this psychiatric re-|clared The defence lawyers huddled closely with Ruby, leaning over him as he sat at a table in the \ Spurns Bid quittal They held a long, whispered the first motion. Ruby, wearing a dark suit with a brown shirt, looked pale and his expression was grave. The historic trial began for- mally at 9:04 a.m. when Judge Brown, clad in black robes, said from the bench, 'In the matter of the state vs. Jack Rubein- stein, alias Jack Ruby, is the state ready?" District Attorney Henry M. Wade replied in the affirmative and Belli said the defence was, too, "subject to some motions we wish to present." The. next action was the re- quest of Dallas lawyer Thomas Howard to withdraw as a mem- ber of the defence team. The ~ granted this as a formal- y.

Dick And Liz | UN OFFI Before Council other general outbreak of fight- ing between the Greek-and Tur- kish-Cypriot communities, The United States and Britain fear that another seious out break would prompt Turkey and Greece to seri in troops to back up their Cypriot kin. The result could be a war between Turkey and Greece, eastern an- chors of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Archbishop Makarios, Greek- Qypriot president of Cyprus, broadcast an appeal to both Turkish- and Greek-Cypriots for restraint, But Makarios warned that his government--meaning the Greek-Cypriots--would "not give in to threats, pressure or blackmail." "We shall fight courageously and resolutely against the de- signs or attacks on our island," he said.

Prem Singh Gyani, United Nations' observer in Cyprus, said today Greek- and Turkish- Cypriots in the southern mining town of Polis had agreed at his urging not to fight each other. Earlier reports said Greek- Cypriots had 'surrounded 700 Turkish-Cypriots in Polis. One hundred British paratroopers were reported heading for the town. A British military spokesman announcing the manoeuvre, said the Turks were inside a school building, dispirited and short of food. Greeks were dug in 100 yards away, There was no shooting over- night but the situation was tense, the spokesman said. The British spokesman Ktima was tense but otherwise the island today was generally quiet following a weekend which saw bloodshed, threatened in- tervention by Turkey and, fin- ally, an appeal for peace by Cypriot President Makarios, Som 170 British troop rein- forcements headed here to bol- ster harassed British forces who have been keeping an uneasy peace on the strife-torn island.

In Sunday's fighting British military sources said one body was found, believed to be that of a Greek-Cypriot, During the, weekend there were reports of Turkish naval movements in the area off Cy- prus, which was interpreted as a threat by Turkey to use their right on intervention on the is- land conferred by agreements reached when the 1960 Cyprus constitution was drafted. MIGHT FIGHT Greek Archbishop Makarios' plea for peace was coupled with an assurance that the Greeks on Cyprus--representing about 80 per cent of the population of 100,000 -- would fight "against evil design or aggression." In a radio broadcast Makarios said he did not object to a large ee on the island to keep the peace--under certain conditions. He believed no military force could carty out its mission on Cyprus if Greek- and Turkish- Cypriots did not show a desire to live together in peace.
