Mrs. OSWALD. Well, that was a very happy month, Mr. Rankin. Marina was very happy. She had the best home, I believe, that she had ever had. And Lee--I was taking Lee out to work every morning, looking for work, through the unemployment commission, and ads in the paper. And I was taking care of the baby and doing the cooking, and Marina was helping clean up. And she would wash the dishes. And Lee and Marina would go for long walks every afternoon, and I would take care of the baby. Marina would sing around the house, and watch the television and comment on different programs, programs that she had seen in Russia. She knew--there was a picture with Gregory Peck, and she said, "Mama, I know Gregory Peck." And she was singing Santa Lucia. And here again in my stupidity, I said to Lee, "Lee, she knows English, she is singing Santa Lucia." He said, "Mother, that is an international song." Marina was very happy, and I was very happy to have the children. And Lee desperately looked for work. He was offered several good jobs from the State Employment Office of Texas. One in particular, I remember he said that he regretted not getting the job, but they told him because his wife was not an American citizen, that they would not be able to hire him. He met obstacles all the way. This one particular woman at the Texas employment agency took an interest in Lee and went out all the way to give Lee clues for jobs. And I, myself, took Lee job-hunting every day. And it is through the employment office that he became employed 3 weeks later, after he was in my home, by the Leslie Manufacturing Co. in Fort Worth, which is a sheetmetal place. Mr. RANKIN. Now, while Marina was living with you there, and your son, and the little baby---- Mrs. OSWALD. June. Mr. RANKIN. Did you talk to Marina, and did she speak English to you? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, she spoke English, Mr. Rankin. Like she would say--and we used the dictionary when she didn't understand. She would say--I would say, "Marina, you now nurse your baby." "Yes, Mama. The time." Or "No time." With motions--"no time. Mama." She spoke English. Mr. RANKIN. What I would like to find out for the Commission, if we can, in regard to speaking English, did you think she was able to talk English fluently, or did you think she was in the process of learning it? Mrs. OSWALD. She was in the process of learning. But she understood more than she could talk. And I have a letter from Lee stating that Marina also speaks and understands French, that she had learned at grammar school. Mr. RANKIN. Did you know French? Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir. Mr. RANKIN. So you could not tell? Mrs. OSWALD. I could not tell. And I didn't think a thing of it. And, of course. Marina and Lee spoke Russian all the time, even in front of me. And you asked about this time--it was a very happy time. They would sit at the table. They were playing a game, and I said to Lee, "What is it you are doing?"
