Mr. Hubert.

Is that your permanent residence?

Mr. Senator.

No; I mean I just come up, you know, I just came to New York about 2 1/2 weeks ago and am staying with my sister temporarily.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you propose to go to another place, to move to another place?

Mr. Senator.

Eventually I will, yes; in New York, but momentarily I do not know where.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, you are staying at your sister's home temporarily?

Mr. Senator.

Temporarily.

Mr. Hubert.

But your purpose is to live in New York?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

And you will, when you find an apartment, some other place to live, move out from your sister's house?

Mr. Hubert.

I wonder if you would go over briefly in your own words the facts of your life, particularly where you lived, and your occupation, beginning actually with your education.

Mr. Senator.

My education was up to the eighth grade.

Mr. Hubert.

And where was that?

Mr. Senator.

Gloversville, N.Y.

Mr. Hubert.

Then after you finished the eighth grade, what did you do?

Mr. Senator.

I moved to New York and went to work.

Mr. Hubert.

You mean New York City?

Mr. Senator.

Yes; New York City. I lived with my sister, too. I mean I moved in with my sister at that time.

Mr. Hubert.

That is the same sister you are now living with?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

What is her name, by the way?

Mr. Senator.

Freda Weisberg, Mrs. A. J. Weisberg.

Mr. Hubert.

How long did you live with her?

Mr. Senator.

Originally, let me say approximately about 3 years. I went back and forth actually from New York back to home. Of course, I was only in my teens then.

Mr. Hubert.

What sort of work did you do?

Mr. Senator.

In New York I was working in a silk house, I was working for a wholesaler where we delivered silk to the dress manufacturer.

Mr. Hubert.

And you continued in that occupation----

Mr. Senator.

Just in my young teens.

Mr. Hubert.

Until you were how old?

Mr. Senator.

Possibly about 18, to the best of my knowledge.

Mr. Hubert.

You were living with your sister as you said?

Mr. Senator.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, at age 18, did your life take a change by way of occupation and residence?

Mr. Senator.

Well, I got sick a couple of times so every time I got sick I went home to mother. I went back home. Of course, the distance, was about 190 miles from my home town to New York City. At one time I had pleurisy, went back home and stayed a year. Another time I had peritonitis. I went back home again.

Mr. Hubert.

This was after age 18 or before?

Mr. Senator.

No; this is now after 18.

Mr. Hubert.

Then I take it that after age 18 and for a period of 1 or 2 years
