Mr. Redlich.

Is there anything else?

Mr. Martin.

Her lack of, well, humbleness as far as all these contributions are concerned. She takes it as a matter of fact- -she takes it for granted. She is quite unhappy when the contributions slack off.

Mr. Redlich.

Has she discussed the amount of contributions with you?

Mr. Martin.

I have kept her informed all along on it.

Mr. Redlich.

Has she indicated that there is some relationship between the story that she reveals to the public and the contributions which she will receive?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Redlich.

Would you be more specific about that?

Mr. Martin.

Well, she has read newspaper articles, for instance, that I haven't written but I have directed.

Mr. Redlich.

Directed?

Mr. Martin.

By giving them information.

Mr. Redlich.

What is the nature----

Mr. Martin.

To build it up.

Mr. Redlich.

What is the nature of these articles?

Mr. Martin.

Well, I recall one, I wonder if I have it, I guess I don't have it, that was written by Bill Burrus of the Times Herald in Dallas. It was a very good article, and not quite true, we will say. It is shaded in truth.

Mr. Redlich.

Do you have the article with you?

Mr. Martin.

Here is one Bill Burrus did that is when she went to midnight mass.

Mr. Redlich.

Mr. Martin has submitted to the Commission an article which does not carry a date or the name of the publication in which it appears, but is headed "Marina Oswald attended mass, had quiet Yule", by Bill Burrus.

Mr. Martin.

That was the Dallas Times Herald.

Mr. Redlich.

Since we would like to question the witness about this, I would like to label it Commission Exhibit No. 326 and ask it be introduced in evidence.

Mr. Dulles.

It will be admitted with no objection.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 326 for identification and received in evidence.)

Mr. Redlich.

I hand you Commission Exhibit 326, Mr. Martin. Will you tell us in what respects this article is not true?

Mr. Martin.

Well, I wouldn't say it is strictly not true. But it embellishes the truth.

Mr. Redlich.

Could you be specific in terms of references to the particular article?

Mr. Martin.

Well, for instance, let's see, is this where she went to church?

Mr. Dulles.

Did she go to church?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Mr. Leech.

It is my partner's church.

Mr. Martin.

Well, for instance, "she wandered around the secret quarters for long periods of time, sometimes she listened to Christmas carols over radio or television", which I believe is not true. I don't believe I told that; that was just added in there.
"Marina continued her studies of the English language and watched television, including her favorite Steve Allen show". She doesn't even like Steve Allen. And, of course, she is never studying English.

Mr. Dulles.

Was this information that you gave to Mr. Burrus?

Mr. Martin.

No. That is the trouble with newspapers. I have told Bill Burrus that she watches Steve Allen. She does but just for lack of anything else to do.
Now I didn't say anything about the Christmas carols nor about studying the English language.

Mr. Dulles.

You say she has not been studying the English language?

Mr. Martin.

No, she is learning it quite rapidly because she had to in her own defense in order to converse with people. When she was living with us, there was no one there that spoke Russian so she had to learn English in order to converse.

Mr. Dulles.

Is there anything else in this particular article that you would either regard as unslanted or untrue?
