Mexico---a one-way ticket from Mexico City, say, to Dallas costs less than from Dallas to Mexico, Mexico City. Or vice versa.
Senator RUSSELL. Be that as it may, how about the stub?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I found the stub of this ticket approximately 2 weeks ago when working with Priscilla Johnson on the book. Three weeks.
*Three weeks ago---I found this stub of a ticket among old magazines, Spanish magazines, and there was a television program also in Spanish and there was the stub of this ticket.

Mrs. Oswald.

But this was, you know, a piece of paper and I didn't know this was a ticket.
Senator RUSSELL. You didn't know it was a ticket?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
Senator RUSSELL. Until you showed it to Miss Johnson?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes--it was in the TV book and then Mr. Liebeler called me on telephone and asked me some questions about Mexico.
Senator RUSSELL. Yes?

Mrs. Oswald.

And I told him, "Just a minute, I'll go and inquire and tell him what I have," and I told him I have some kind of piece of paper. I don't know what it is. I don't know whether it would be interested-the Commission, and somebody who was at my house one time---
*Read what was on the stub.
Senator RUSSELL. You could read the stub all right, could you, Mrs. Oswald? There wasn't anything complicated there, you could read "One-way ticket," couldn't you? You know that much English?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. It was a mixture of Spanish and English.
Senator RUSSELL Oh, I see--it had it both ways, and the name of the bus company, too, perhaps.

Mrs. Oswald.

I didn't understand this in languages--you can't say this.
Senator RUSSELL. Where had that magazine been that had this bus ticket in it, was anything else in it, any tickets to bull fights or anywhere else?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I turned all of this material over to the FBI, thinking that they might find something of interest in it. I did not try to determine for myself what it was.
Senator RUSSELL. Was it in the possessions that were removed from Mrs. Paine's room, or was it in some of Lee's material that was moved from his boardinghouse?*

Mrs. Oswald.

It was with Mrs. Paine.
Senator RUSSELL. Didn't you testify, Mrs. Oswald, that Lee couldn't read Spanish, when you were testifying before? What was he doing with a Spanish magazine?

Mrs. Oswald.

It wasn't a Spanish magazine, it was a TV program.
Senator RUSSELL, Pardon?

Mrs. Oswald.

It was a TV program.
*It was not a Spanish magazine, it was a TV program.
Senator RUSSELL. Oh, it was not a magazine, it was a TV program. I understood you to say it was a Spanish magazine? I'm sorry.
*Mrs. OSWALD. I found all this among my old magazines and newspapers, that I was collecting after the assassination of the President, and there also were English books which could have been in that small suitcase in which I put everything.
Senator RUSSELL. How did the FBI happen to overlook that when they made the raid out there at Mrs. Paine's? I thought they carried off everything you had out there, practically?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. The reason they overlooked this particular suitcase is because I took it with me to----
**To the hotel--the first night they moved us.
*When we stayed in the hotel.
It was in Dallas.
Senator RUSSELL. It was in Dallas. That's when they were at the big hotel--where you spent one night there?
*Mrs. OSWALD. It was in Dallas and I took it with me because there were children's books.
