A quiet day at home. Made one phone call to a Mr. Antonucci (Carpenters Union official) Cleveland Ohio. I was given some clippings and learned for the 1st time that he & a fellow official had been right behind the man with the gun. They jumped him and tried to get the gun away from him. Antonucci was hospitalized for heart palpitations—he is 68 yrs. old. Gov. Jim Rhodes had honored them at the Ohio St. Capital. I apologized and explained I had known nothing about his effort in my behalf. He was very pleased. Tomorrow I’ll try to get a number on McNamara who apparently moved in a step or two behind.ind.
