Mr. Ball.

What did you do during the service---during your period in the service?

Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, you might say just about a little bit of everything, from guard duty to---

Mr. Ball.

Did you have any active service?
Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, no--I volunteered for active service, but they said you couldn't very well volunteer--you have to be drafted, so they said, they told me at the time.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever leave the United States during the War?

Mr. Dougherty.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Ball.

Where did you go?

Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, I was stationed, oh, for about a year up in Indiana up there---Seymour, Ind.

Mr. Ball.

Then where did you go from there in the service?

Mr. Dougherty.

Well, I stayed there until I got discharged.

Mr. Ball.

You didn't ever go outside the country to Europe?

Mr. Dougherty.

Oh, no.

Mr. Ball.

Or to the South Seas?

Mr. Dougherty.

Mr. Ball.

You stayed in this country all the time?

Mr. Dougherty.

Mr. Ball.

Now, did you ever have any difficulty with your speech?

Mr. Dougherty.

Mr. Ball.

Did you ever have any difficulty in the Army with any medical treatment or anything of that sort?

Mr. Dougherty.

No.

Mr. Ball.

None at all?

Mr. Dougherty.

No.

Mr. Ball.

What did you do after you got out of the Army?

Mr. DOUGHERTY. Well, jobs were pretty scarce about the time I got out of the service, so I just went from place to place and applied and put my application in, so I started over here at the Texas School Book Depository and put my application in there and I got it through the Suburban Employment Agency, and I been working there ever since.
Mr. BALL. And that was when--in 1940, was it, you started to work at the Texas School Book Depository?

Mr. Dougherty.

September 17, 1940.

Mr. Ball.

1940 what?

Mr. Dougherty.

Let's see, I have been with them 11 years--that would be---

Mr. Ball.

That would be 1952, wouldn't it?

Mr. Dougherty.

Yes--that's 1952.

Mr. Ball.

1952?

Mr. Dougherty.

Yes; that's right, to be exact.

Mr. Ball.

What did you do between the time you got out of the service and 1952?

Mr. Dougherty.

Well, I didn't do anything to be frank with you.

Mr. Ball.

You didn't?

Mr. Dougherty.

No.

Mr. Ball.

You didn't work?

Mr. Dougherty.

Oh, no.

Mr. Ball.

You stayed at home?

Mr. Dougherty.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Mr. Ball.

Have you ever been married?

Mr. Dougherty.

Mr. Ball.

And you still live with your father and mother?

Mr. Dougherty.

Mr. BALL. Now, what kind of work have you been doing at the Texas School Book Depository in the last few years?
