Mrs. Paine.

Senator COOPER. Back on the record.
Have you been paid or promised any monetary consideration for any article that you might write or you might assist someone else in writing about your experiences connected with the Oswalds?

Mrs. Paine.

The complete answer to that would be that I received a $300 advance from Look magazine for helping in the writing of that article which will not appear, and that I have been told I will receive $500 from Red Book magazine for helping Miss West in writing that, and if you want, I will tell you what I think about what I want to do with this money but perhaps that is not pertinent.
Senator COOPER. If you want to?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, I plan to give it away.

Mr. Jenner.

You mean give it to charity?

Mrs. Paine.

To charity.
Senator COOPER. That is all I have.

Mr. Jenner.

You have referred to a Look magazine article in the preparation of which you have assisted. I have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 460 a document which I received from Mr. George Harris, after you had authorized me to call him and ask for it.
Would you glance through that and verify that that is the article in the final form?
You have examined Commission Exhibit 460. Is that the Look article to which you have made reference in your testimony here this afternoon?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And that article, however, is not one to be published?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you look over that article in this final form and approve it as to text and statements made in it?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; although I don't think the final draft had been done or final approval given before it was decided that it would not be used.

Mr. Jenner.

But as this exhibit stands, Commission Exhibit No. 460, the text and statements that are made in there had your approval?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; they are, of course, not all of my words.

Mr. Jenner.

Of course, not. The article was written by?

Mrs. Paine.

By George Harris, who is a senior editor on Look magazine, and he wrote it from typed copy he had directly as he had taken it from my telling.

Mr. Jenner.

So it is, to use somewhat of a vernacular, it is ghost written?

Mrs. Paine.

It is ghost written but most of it is my words.

Mr. Jenner.

I offer in evidence, as Commission Exhibit No. 460, the document we have just identified.
Senator COOPER. It will be received in evidence.
(The document referred to, heretofore identified as Commission Exhibit No. 460, was received in evidence.)

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have an interest in the Russian language as has appeared
from your testimony?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Mrs. Paine, are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

Mrs. Paine.

I am not now and have never been a member of the Communist Party.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you now or have you ever had any leanings which we might call Communist Party leanings.

Mrs. Paine.

No; on the contrary.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you now or have you ever been a member of any groups which you consciously recognize as being, let us say, Communist front groups?

Mrs. Paine.

No; I have not and I would be quite certain I had not been unconsciously a member of any such groups.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it from your response that you have an aversion to communism?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I do.

Mr. Jenner.

And would be at pains and have been at pains during your adult life, at least, to avoid any association with or any advancement of communism as we know and abhor it?
