Mr. Jenner.

Foreman in the Louv-R-Pak division of the Leslie Welding Co.?

Mr. Bargas.

Right, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

What kind of work was under your supervision and direction as a foreman?

Mr. Bargas.

As a foreman it was total supervision of the plant. In other words---assign men to their jobs and see that they carried them out.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you do any hiring of people?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And discharging of people?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it that the making of these louvers involves welding and sheet metal work?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

What kind of work is that--is that forming, and cutting and tripping and punching?

Mr. Bargas.

Spot welding and resistance welding was all they use.

Mr. Jenner.

Spot welding and resistance welding?

Mr. Bargas.

Resistance welding and spot welding is the same thing.

Mr. Jenner.

Does the sheet metal come in size or do you have to form it in some fashion?

Mr. Bargas.

We have to form it in various different sizes to specifications called for.

Mr. Jenner.

And then, the louvers are spot welded and placed--they are moved up and down in various directions, are they?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Does Leslie Welding Co. have any plants other than in Fort Worth?

Mr. Bargas.

It has one in Atlanta, Ga.

Mr. Jenner.

Is its home office located here or in Atlanta, Ga.?

Mr. Bargas.

No, sir; it is located in Chicago.

Mr. Jenner.

In Chicago proper or some suburb of Chicago?

Mr. Bargas.

In a suburb.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that Melrose Park or Franklin Park?

Mr. Bargas.

Franklin Park.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you ever been up there?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Are there any production facilities there at Franklin Park?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

That's near O'Hare Field?

Mr. Bargas.

It is near to O'Hare Field.

Mr. Jenner.

And, near Mannheim Road--I think Mannheim Road bisects Franklin Park, doesn't it?

Mr. Bargas.

I'm not too familiar with it, but I did travel on Mannheim Road. I remember that, but I'm not too familiar with the area.

Mr. Jenner.

Did someone by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald ever work for Leslie Welding Co. here in Fort Worth?

Mr. Bargas.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have anything to do with that?

Mr. Bargas.

In what manner? In what respect?

Mr. Jenner.

Well, did you hire him, for example?

Mr. Bargas.

Well, he came down--we called in for men at the Texas employment office and they sent him down and naturally he was interviewed.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you do the calling in?

Mr. Bargas.

I don't do the calling in, no.

Mr. Jenner.

You told somebody working for you or under your direction to call the Texas Employment Agency?

Mr. Bargas.

Well, the secretary called.

Mr. Jenner.

At your direction, however?

Mr. Bargas.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

And what did you tell her you wanted in the way of an employee?
