Mr. Jenner.

Could I stop you there. The word "none, opposite or to the left of the word, "license," before which there also appears a square, directing your attention to that, is that "none," in your handwriting?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

What does that signify?

Mr. Brooks.

That he didn't have a driver's license.

Mr. Jenner.

That he didn't have a driver's license?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that a square that you make normally?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes. This is of importance especially in the industrial office because a lot of times a person working in a factory office might be required to sub in as perhaps a driver of machinery, and we always ask--pay attention to this, not because of Texas, but because of commercial operator's license.

Mr. Jenner.

Let me inquire of you a little further on that. Does your inquiry go beyond asking whether he has a driver's license? That is, do you go on and ask whether he is able to operate a motor vehicle?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes, sir. Well, not necessarily. I mean, if he doesn't have a driver's license, he is not supposed to be driving, actually.

Mr. Jenner.

But he could get one the next day, couldn't he?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes. Sometimes I have gone further and asked, are you able to drive a car. I have done this on occasion.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have any recollection of whether you did that on this occasion?

Mr. Brooks.

No, sir; I might have and I might not have. I wouldn't want to swear that I did either one.

Mr. Jenner.

But your entry does indicate for certain that he did not have a driver's license, and you made inquiry on that subject?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, go on. Maybe there is something else that you have written there to stimulate me to ask you something.

Mr. Brooks.

We have not covered my handwriting. Unfortunately, my handwriting is pretty easy to see. I write big. Now this--I am On the back of the card now. Now this Leslie Welding Co. in Dallas, 4 months, 10-62, $1.25 an hour, sheet metal worker, mild ventilators, is in my handwriting.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that something he told you?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

By the way, was this form E-13, made up in your office or made up in some other office?

Mr. Brooks.

The original must have been made up in my office. That is usually the procedure, actually.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall whether you made inquiry of the Fort Worth office as to whether they had what you call this ATB?

Mr. Brooks.

This is something--oh, you mean, test records?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Brooks.

No, sir; I didn't, I am sure of this. The other office, Mrs. Cunningham, might have, but I didn't.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have a Mrs. Louise Latham?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes. She works for the commission. She works in C&S. I am not too familiar. I believe she is a placement interviewer.

Mr. Jenner.

I notice on the bottom below your signature the last two lines appear the initials RLA. Is that probably Mr. Adams, the RLA?

Mr. Brooks.

It might be and might not be. I am not too familiar with the person. I know who is over there.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall anything about this young man?

Mr. Brooks.

No; I wouldn't want to say. The only thing I recall vaguely now--at the time when I was asked, I was surprised that I had taken his application. I had not remembered it at,' the time, actually. I had vaguely remembered the name Oswald, but then---when I saw about it, I remembered that vaguely he was somebody referred to me from the placement, actually, and he didn't want, evidently did not want' industrial work and he had an interest in clerical, and I gave him a clerical code, although the code number is not in my handwriting.
