Mrs. Cunningham.

to another person in staff they will say, "No; we didn't hire him." Can you see how that would happen, sir?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; that combination with the erasure leads you to interpret that, that while there was initially a report that the applicant refused the job, on a further check it was ascertained that he was not hired, meaning that the prospective employer did not hire the applicant, rather than that the applicant rejected the position?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Is there another entry?

Mrs. Cunningham.

I think I got into the column under "Remarks" and had explained the word "Direct" before.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mrs. Cunningham.

I'm sorry--I Cannot read the entry under the word "Direct." I can read the initials "RLA", who is our Mr. Robert Adams.

Mr. Jenner.

That is the man I examined this morning?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That means that Robert Adams handled that particular item?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes, sir; and that he saw the applicant on that day and gave the referral.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mrs. Cunningham.

In the next line under the word "Called" is a dash, which indicates that the applicant was not called in, but probably appeared at the office and was routed back to the placement interviewer, and the date is the next day--10-9-63; "Employer agency is Burton-Dixie"; Job title or purpose is "Clerk Trainee"; the duration is permanent; the pay is $1.25, the results are "NH", which means "not hired."
Under "Remarks" is "direct" and the initials RLA which is our Mr. Bob Adams.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mrs. Cunningham.

Under "Called"--10-15, with a "T," which means that he was called by telephone, under "Referred" is 10-15, which would indicate that he reported the same day, and under "Employer-agency--Trans-Texas"; under "Job Title or Purpose cargo handler"; under "Duration" is "P"--under "Pay" is $310.

Mr. Jenner.

That's a month?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes, sir; "result" is "NR".

Mr. Jenner.

What do you mean by that?

Mrs. Cunningham.

"Nonreport."

Mr. Jenner.

That in turn means what?

Mrs. Cunningham.

That the applicant accepted the referral, led the placement interviewer to assume that he would see the employer, and that when the placement interviewer checked with the employer, he reported to him that the applicant had not reported. Under "Remarks"--working--I think it is 10:30 a.m., 10-16. There is no indication of where working.

Mr. Jenner.

Are there any initials there?

Mrs. Cunningham.

"RLA."

Mr. Jenner.

That's the same Mr. Adams?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

That would indicate that when that reference was made, it was found that Mr. Oswald was already working somewhere else?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Yes, sir; it would indicate that Mr. Adams very likely checked the following day in some fashion or it could be ,that Oswald called Mr. Adams and reported that he was working.

Mr. Jenner.

This reference was made on what day, according to that record?

Mrs. Cunningham.

Are you using the word "reference" as we use the word "referral," sir?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mrs. Cunningham.

10-15.

Mr. Jenner.

And then there is an indication that Mr. Adams made a check on that reference the following day or the same day?

Mrs. Cunningham.

I am uncertain which it is referring to, whether he left
