Mr. Kantor.

The entire time.

Mr. Griffin.

Did you attend the press conference Henry Wade had with Chief Curry in the assembly room?

Mr. Kantor.

I am sorry. I did go down there after midnight.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, do you have notes of that press conference?

Mr. Kantor.

No; I had a lot of trouble hearing, first of all--a lot of trouble hearing Oswald. I picked up a couple of words he was muttering. I was standing on a table about halfway back in the room. And then immediately following that, I guess Henry Wade had a conference. Is that what you are referring to?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes.

Mr. Kantor.

I don't know--I guess I have got a couple of notes on it. I don't know how extensive.

Mr. Griffin.

During the period you were in the city hall or the police department building on Friday night, did you see Jack Ruby?

Mr. Kantor.

Never.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, were you in the police department building on Saturday?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

For what period were you in there on Saturday?

Mr. Kantor.

I was in the building between 10 a.m., and about 9:15 p.m., or perhaps a little bit later in the evening. However, I did leave the building a couple of times to go across the street for food.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember seeing Jack Ruby at all on Saturday?

Mr. Kantor.

No; I did not see him.

Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Hubert, do you have any questions you would like to ask?

Mr. Hubert.

I think you better clarify about the second automobile that pulled up. I got the impression, as you testified, that the front of the second car was headed toward Main Street. Is that correct?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes, sir; to the best of my recollection it was, because I had explained to Mr. Griffin that I remember an officer coming over the top of the car and bounding down to the hood and then off.

Mr. Hubert.

But the first car that pulled up headed toward Commerce Street?

Mr. Kantor.

Well, I wish I could be certain about it, but I am not sure of the order. I was mostly aware at that moment that it was apparent that Oswald was about to be moved, and that I was being shoved a little bit to make room for these cars to get out, and that I wanted a good vantage point. And I think that was my chief concern.

Mr. Hubert.

You mentioned that you were in the assembly room at the time Oswald was brought down to see the press, and that you were standing on a table, I think, at the rear, and that you did not see Ruby in that room at all.

Mr. Kantor.

I did not.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you hear anyone make any comment to Wade concerning the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, or correct a statement that Wade made in connection with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee? Well, let me put it this way: Did you hear Wade make any comment with respect to a Cuban committee at all?

Mr. Kantor.

I believe that there was. I don't think I took notes on this. Our Latin American correspondent called from Miami early in the evening and had talked about this matter to me. I do vaguely recall some conversation involving Henry Wade on that matter, and I don't think--

Mr. Hubert.

Do you have any recollection at present that Henry Wade made a comment about some Cuban committee?

Mr. Kantor.

I don't remember whether he was asked specifically about this, or whether he brought it up. But I do vaguely recall there was some conversation about it.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Then did you hear someone correct his designation or, rather, the name of the committee?

Mr. Kantor.

It almost seems as though I did. I could not swear to it.

Mr. Hubert.

How many people were in that room?

Mr. Kantor.

It was very crowded. I would estimate about 60, perhaps.

Mr. Hubert.

And how large was the room?

Mr. Kantor.

I would say about 25 or 30 yards long, and about 10 to 12 yards wide, something like that.

Mr. Hubert.

Were you at the back of the room?
