Mr. Krystinik.

And the State exploited the worker.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he indicate to you any desire to return to the Soviet Union?

Mr. Krystinik.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he indicate any desire to go to any other country?

Mr. Krystinik.

To me; no.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you know at the time you talked to Oswald that he had been active in the Fair Play for Cuba?

Mr. Krystinik.

No, sir; I never heard of the organization until I read about it in the Dallas Morning News in reference to Oswald.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald tell you he was a member of any Marxist or Communist group?

Mr. Krystinik.

No. His only comment was that, "I am a Marxist."

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you have any impression as to whether he was a member of any group, Marxist or Communist group?

Mr. Krystinik.

In reference to what Michael had told me that .he defected to Russia and that he claimed himself as being a Marxist, now I am afraid that in my mind I felt he was a Communist or a Red, and my immediate impressions were that even though he had nothing to offer me with which to place trust in him, I didn't trust him and kind of considered him, I guess I looked at him really like someone at a dog that might bite. I disliked the man. I disliked him without him giving me personally an actual reason. I disliked him before I met him on the basis of conversation with Michael. I disliked him when I met him in that I felt he was talking down to me and felt he was somewhat better than I was. He acted as he felt he had complete command of the conversation, was leading it, and was controlling what was going to be said, and I like to talk too.
We talked back and forth, but rather than a pleasant discussion, it was more of an argument.

Mr. Liebeler.

You got no impression at any time during the course of your meeting with Oswald that he was an actual member of any Communist or Marxist group?

Mr. Krystinik.

I felt that he was, but that was only by saying, "I am a Marxist." To me, that categorized him. But as to any specific organization, I had no impression that he belonged to any specific group.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Oswald display any anger to you during the course of your conversation with him?

Mr. Krystinik.

I can't remember, really. I don't think so.

Mr. Liebeler.

Have you now told us, to the best of your recollection, the entire conversation that occurred between you and Oswald on that occasion?

Mr. Krystinik.

Only to the best of my recollection. I am sure that we talked more.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he mention anything to you about having been in the Marines?

Mr. Krystinik.

He didn't. Michael had told me previously that he had been in the Marines.

Mr. Liebeler.

Had Michael told you that Oswald received an undesirable discharge from the Marine Corps?

Mr. Krystinik.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you didn't have any discussion about that with Oswald?

Mr. Krystinik.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you have any discussion with Oswald about his impressions while he was in the Soviet Union?

Mr. Krystinik.

I did ask him to tell me about Russia, but then the conversation diverged back into the economic end of the capitalism versus communism. He commented that the work hours were long and the pay wasn't particularly good. That was about the main thing. It was just that long in reference to the Soviet Union and we were back to capitalism.. He didn't seem to care to talk particularly about it.

Mr. Liebeler.

His remarks about the pay and working conditions in the Soviet Union were general remark?

Mr. Krystinik.

Just general.
