TV Notes;New Film From Dallas

Tonight, "CBS Evening News" will show segments of newly uncovered television film recorded on Nov. 22, 1963, the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The 16-millimeter film had been rescued from a trash can by a Dallas television station employee, who died last year; it then remained in the house of a friend whose family found it and last week gave it to the Assassination Records Review Board. The family also told Mary Mapes, a Dallas-based producer for "CBS Evening News," and her husband, Mark Wrolstad, a reporter for The Dallas Morning News. The newspaper reported the story yesterday; CBS scheduled its two-part report for last night and tonight. The film has "no headline revelations," as the CBS anchor, Dan Rather, put it last night, although historians may find new information in details like crowd scenes. It shows President Kennedy, and his wife, Jacqueline, before the motorcade; Jack Ruby waiting for Lee Harvey Oswald to appear before reporters on the night of the assassination, and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson leaving the hospital after learning the President had died. LAWRIE MIFFLIN
