Mr. Mckenzie.

After your arrival in the United States, and after you had left Fort Worth, and had moved into your own apartment, did your husband have any money?

Mrs. Oswald.

When he left Dallas for Fort Worth?

Mr. Mckenzie.

Yes.

Mrs. Oswald.

I think he had some money saved up. He always was saving money for a rainy day.
(At this point, Representative Ford withdrew from the hearing room.)

Mr. Mckenzie.

From what source did he save that money? Where did the money come from?

Mrs. Oswald.

Only from his salary, from his wages.

Mr. Mckenzie.

When he was not working, did he have any other source of money, or did he have money?

Mrs. Oswald.

When he wasn't working, he got some unemployment compensation from the place where he had been working.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did he ever receive money to your knowledge from any other sources, other than from the Government or from his work?

Mrs. Oswald.

The only sources I know of were the companies where he worked.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Who did your husband consider as good friends of his in Dallas, Tex.?

Mrs. Oswald.

He was most friendly with George De Mohrenschildt. However, this is not a very nice thing to say for Mr. De Mohrenschildt's reputation. This has been--had a harmful effect on Mr. De Mohrenschildt's reputation as a result of the assassination, the fact that he was friendly with my husband.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did your husband have any other good friends? For example, did he consider Michael Paine a good friend of his?

Mrs. Oswald.

No; he didn't like Michael Paine. Therefore, I was surprised when they went to this meeting together. Perhaps they became friends after this. But it didn't seem so to me. He didn't show it to me.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did your husband ever give you money or did you ever handle money in caring for the household, or did he take care of the money?

Mrs. Oswald.

He never gave me any money. We would go shopping together, and he would make all the payments.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Were there not times when you didn't have enough money and food in the house, and friends had to help you?

Mrs. Oswald.

It never happened that there was no food in the house and that friends had to help us. The only time when this might have been the case was immediately after our arrival in the United States, when I gave some Russian lessons to Mr. Gregory and his son, and he paid me for it. And once after we arrived Mr. George Bouhe saw that I was rather thin and took us to a grocery store and bought us a lot of stuff.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And did Mr. George Bouhe or Mrs. Ford have to take you to the hospital at one time or another?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Mckenzie.

For June?

Mrs. Oswald.

Not Mrs. Ford and not Mr. Bouhe.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Who was it?

Mrs. Oswald.

Lydia Dymitruk took me to the hospital.

Mr. Mckenzie.

That is all I have, Mr. Chief Justice.

The Chairman.

Thank you, Mrs. Oswald, I think that will be all.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Mr. Chief Justice, before we close for the day I do have one request I would like to make of the Commission on the record.

The Chairman.

Yes.

Mr. Mckenzie.

On behalf of Mrs. Oswald, I would like to have returned to her the original or original copies of all letters which she has previously furnished to the Commission, diaries, pictures, or any personal property of Lee Harvey Oswald that was presented to the Commission, including his personal effects and his diary, in particular his wedding ring, a watch, belt buckles, or any personal effects belonging to either Lee Harvey Oswald or Mrs. Oswald that have been presented as original exhibits to the Commission.
