Mrs. PAINE. I think I probably have done the best I can, but I will do
it again if you like.
Mr. JENNER. May we have permission to adjourn, Mr. Chairman?
Mr. McCLOY. Very well.
Mr. DULLES. Could I ask just one question? With regard to this sketch
of the house, I was interested to know where you would see the light in
the garage. Was it from out here?
Mrs. PAINE. This is a doorway into the garage from the kitchen area.
Mr. DULLES. And you saw that light from the kitchen area?
Mrs. PAINE. I think I was probably on my way to the garage anyway,
opened the door, there was the light on.
Mr. DULLES. I see. There are no windows or anything. The door was
closed and the light would not be visible if you hadn't gone into it?
Mrs. PAINE. It would be visible if it was dark in here.
Mr. DULLES. I understand. Through the door.
Representative FORD. And you spent about a half hour in the garage
painting some blocks?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Representative FORD. What part of the garage----
Mrs. PAINE. Close to the doorway here, the entrance, this entrance.
Representative FORD. The entrance going into the----
Mrs. PAINE. The doorway between the garage and the kitchen-dining area.
Right here.
Representative FORD. You didn't move around the garage?
Mrs. PAINE. I moved around enough to get some shellac and brush and
make a place, a block is this big, to paint.
Representative FORD. Where do you recollect, if you do, the blanket was
at this time?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recollect. It was the next day----
Representative FORD. It was the forepart of the garage on the left-hand
side?
Mrs. PAINE. Beyond.
Mr. McCLOY. Does anyone have any further questions?
Mr. JENNER. No questions, Mr. Chairman.
Representative Ford has directed the attention of the witness to the
document which is now Exhibit No. 430, and when we reconvene in the
morning I will qualify the exhibit.
Mr. McCLOY. Is that all?
We will reconvene at 9 a.m., tomorrow.
(Whereupon, at 5:30 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.)
