Notes on
THE MEN ON THE SIXTH FLOOR
by Glen Sample and Mark Collom
(2-11-96, Martin Shackelford)

pp. 55-56
Is this another of those--"After I saw him on TV I realized that was the
guy I saw with Ruby" sightings, or was Oswald introduced by name to
Factor? I would tend to suspect the former, especially with only a couple
of contacts, unless of course Oswald was on the 6th floor with them, and
actually was Oswald there. 
pp. 101-102
Ralph Geb the Mexico City mystery man? I don't think so.
Compare Geb ear on p. 99 to head blowups on pp. 398-399 of Coincidence or
Conspiracy? by CTIA/Fensterwald/Ewing.
Also, there is Nechiporenko's ID of the man as a disturbed ex-Marine who
had previously visited the Soviet embassy, but the different ear
configuration is the most solid reason to exclude Geb. 
p. 107
Because Groden doesn't identify many of the photos in The Killing of the
President, the authors have confused the Powell photo (p. 158) with the
Dillard photos (pp. 208-209)
p. 110
The figure in the Dillard photo window has a darker area around his eyes,
which may be glasses: is this Mac Wallace rather than Loy Factor in the
West end window? Of course, it may be neither, but this is the first book
to offer a possible identification of someone in that particular window. 
p. 142
I found it interesting that the murder weapon in the Kinser case was
obtained by Wallace "from an FBI friend in Fort Worth". Also, the
location is interesting, as the Dallas-Fort Worth FBI office was in
Dallas, not Fort Worth, so it may be assumed that the FBI friend lived in
Fort Worth. 
p. 156
If Madeleine Brown has written such threatening exposures about the
LBJ-Estes circle, how come Madeleine and Estes remain so chummy? A person
of Madeleine's background (authentic LBJ connection) would be an
excellent conduit for disinformation. I wonder of Madeleine's ties to
Estes predate her ties with LBJ? 
p. 161
If Mac Wallace was under the protection of LBJ, how come he was able to
retain his security clearance in 1961, but lost it in Sept. 1964 during
LBJ's period of greatest power (even though before his landslide) due to
a Defense Department investigation? Maybe Mac was Estes' boy rather than
LBJ"s boy, and it was no longer politic for LBJ to protect Estes'
operations, except to quash the investigation that threatened LBJ
himself? 
p. 173
The possibility of major profits for Byrd if Viet Nam escalated would
offer an additional motive, or perhaps the profits were a reward for
services rendered? 

Estes-Brown-Howard: were they offering LBJ as another layer of the
cover-up?
