for some news organization. After the President was shot he ran to a bank of phones in the ground level of the Texas School Book Depository to call in the news. He saw Oswald walk by. So there was a bank of phones in the depository. Oswald could have called from there to Cambridge England before the president' s motorcade was anywhere nearby.
