I found another one while reading Bob Baskin's notes dated July 23, 1964. These were published in the book "The Reporters' Notes" by The Dallas Morning News. Here is an excerpt:
"As we turned off Main Street onto Houston for the last leg of the motorcade route to the Trade Mart at almost 12:30 p.m. We saw the President's car make the turn after that in front of the Texas School Book Depository building, gaining a bit of speed. The press car was halfway down the block before the left turn when the first shot rang out."
Here is a diagram of the position of the vehicles at Z133:
Bob Baskin and the other National Press representatives were in the vehicle marked "7" in this diagram. It is halfway down the block.
Thank you for sharing something in an obscure book I'll probably never come across or my library would have. It's good to have a fresh piece of the puzzle. However, for example, the people in Car No.4 (Vice-Presidential car) suggest the first shot occurred later:
- Jacks (driver): "My car had just straightened up from making the left turn..."
- Youngblood (SS agent): "As we were beginning to go down this incline ..."
- LBJ" "After we had proceeded a short way down Elm Street..."
- Lady Bird: "We were rounding a curve, going down a hill..."
Not sure where that gets us, but the Z150s-160s would place Baskin about the south edge of the Dallas County Records Bldg. I think the Z200s would be getting the press car too close to the end of the block.
Where Dale K. Myers places the Press Pool Car at Z150 (left inset).
Others in the press car:
Malcolm Kilduff (WH Assistant Press Secretary): "There was a longer
pause between the first and the second than there was between
the second and the third." (Andrew won't like that)
Kilduff said he was near enough to read the sign over the doorway
of the TSBD building and ask: "Would you mind telling me what in
the name of heaven the Texas School Book Repository is? I never
heard of a school book 'repository.'"
Bob Clark: "Right as we turned in front of the Texas School Book
Depository I heard three extremely loud and clear shots."
(He's taking about where they were during all the shots.)
Jack Bell: "There was a loud bang as though a giant firecracker
had exploded in the cavern between the tall buildings we were
just leaving behind us." (If Bell meant the gap between the
Records and Criminal Courts Bldgs then Car No. 7 would
have to be further along than Z133)
