Mr. MAMANTOV. Now, she told my mother-in-law---- Mr. JENNER. Now, please, did she have a reputation? Mr. MAMANTOV. Wait just a second---- Mr. JENNER. A reputation, whether she was or was not--what did the Russian community as a whole, now, not just your mother-in-law? Mr. MAMANTOV. All right--you want the Communist Party of the United States or Communist Party of the Soviet Union? Mr. JENNER. All right, I'll take both of them--I'll take the Communist Party of the Soviet Union first. Mr. MAMANTOV. Everybody knew that she was a member of the Communistic Youth Organization--she didn't even hide this, but I never have heard of somebody implying that she would be a member of the Communist Party of the United States, so as community, I don't think everybody considered her as well tied to the Communist Party as the community did Oswald himself. Mr. JENNER. What was the general reputation, if any, of Marina in the Russian community on the subject of whether she had any fixed political views and might actively support those views here in the United States? Mr. MAMANTOV. No; I don't know this--I mean--I don't have any opinion. I haven't heard anything--I know that she didn't--she avoided political discussions, I'll put it this way. Mr. JENNER. She did? Mr. MAMANTOV. She did avoid political discussions. Mr. JENNER. I take it from your testimony, you are acquainted with the Fords? Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct. Mr. JENNER. I think you said Mr. Bouhe was a bachelor? Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct. He is a bachelor now--he was married--he's divorced. Mr. JENNER. He's a grass widower? Mr. MAMANTOV. Right, but he was a very short time widower--he could be married. Mr. JENNER. Were you and your family aware of Bouhe's efforts, if they were efforts, to collect clothing and otherwise be helpful to the Oswalds? Mr. MAMANTOV. That's correct. Mr. JENNER. You were aware of that? Mr. MAMANTOV. Right. Mr. JENNER. And was that in your opinion a good faith, charitable impulse on his part? Mr. MAMANTOV. No, sir. Mr. JENNER. You think it might have been ulterior? Mr. MAMANTOV. We objected immediately when we heard about this. We objected to every person who took Marina in their own house, in trying to collect money and clothing, and this supposedly happened after her husband beat her up. Mr. JENNER. When there went through the Russian community a report that Lee Oswald had inflicted physical violence on Marina, then the community objected to assistance being afforded the Oswalds? Mr. MAMANTOV. I don't know--I think they were especially helping her, after they left Fort Worth, and they had domestic disagreements. Supposedly, she was attacked by him--then the Russian community here in Dallas tried to help her by taking her into the houses or collecting money and collecting clothing and stuff like that, so I opposed this more and more violently.
