NEW YORK: Members of the Warren Commission, set up to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, tried but f ailed to see vital autopsy photographs to clarify `confusing` evidence about what bullets struck the President, it was claimed today [March 25].

In a copyright article in the mass circulation magazine, `Saturday Evening Post`, writer David Wise said the Commission considered evidence about the bullets as `totally inconclusive`.

Transcripts of the Commission hearings were declassified by the National Archive at the writer`s request after being filed as `top secret` for four years.

`At the panel`s third meeting, on Dec 16, 1963, several Commission members complained that the initial Federal Bureau of Investigation report on the assassination failed to clear up the question of what bullets struck the President and the Texas Governor John Connally,` the article said.

During the session, Commission Chairman Chief Justice Earl Warren called the evidence on the bullets `totally inconclusive`.Agency
