United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. OSWALD. He said that he had a half brother by the name of Pic from
his mother's first marriage, but he didn't enlarge upon the subject. It
is only that I knew he had a half brother by that name.
He said that at one time they lived with this John Pic and his wife,
but that his wife and the mother frequently had arguments, quarrels. He
said it was hard for him to witness these scenes, it was unpleasant.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you regard your husband's wage or salary at Minsk as
high for the work he was doing?
Mrs. OSWALD. No. He received as much as the others in similar jobs.
Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband have friends in Minsk when you first met
him?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. How did he seem to get along with these friends?
Mrs. OSWALD. He had a very good relationship with them.
Mr. RANKIN. Did he discuss any of them with you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you tell us when you married your husband?
Mrs. OSWALD. April 30, 1961.
Mr. RANKIN. Was there a marriage ceremony?
Mrs. OSWALD. Not in a church, of course. But in the institution called
Zags, where we were registered.
Mr. RANKIN. Was anyone else present at the ceremony?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, our friends were there.
Mr. RANKIN. Who else was there?
Mrs. OSWALD. No one besides my girlfriends and some acquaintances. My
uncle and aunt were busy preparing the house, and they were not there
for that reason.
Mr. RANKIN. After you were married did you go to live in your husband's
apartment there?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you buy any new furniture?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. When was your baby born?
Mrs. OSWALD. February 15, 1962.
Mr. RANKIN. What is her name?
Mrs. OSWALD. June Lee Oswald.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you stop working before the birth of the baby?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you return to work after the baby was born?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. How did you and your husband get along during the period
that you were in Minsk, after you were married?
Mrs. OSWALD. We lived well.
Mr. RANKIN. Were you a member of the trade union at Minsk?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you have a membership booklet?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, a booklet.
Mr. RANKIN. I hand you Exhibit 21 and ask you if that is the trade
union booklet that you had there.
Mrs. OSWALD. I never have a good photograph.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 21.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted and take the next number.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 21 and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Did you pay dues to the trade union?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. We didn't notice any notation of dues payments in this
booklet, Exhibit 21. Do you know why that was?
Mrs. OSWALD. I forgot to paste the stamps in.
Mr. RANKIN. That is for the period between 1956 and 1959, they don't
seem to be in there.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. But you made the payments--you just didn't put the stamps
in, is that right?
