started, I wrote letter to this government place where you have to
write that you like to stay at home not to go back since war started

Siberia, and that's where I stay. That's how come.
Mr. LIEBELER. You were there when the Germans arrived in Stalingrad?
Mrs. RAY. Yes; when Germans come there.
Mr. LIEBELER. So, you would have been studying at college in Leningrad
from about 1937, is that right, to 1941?
Mrs. RAY. In 1941 when I coming home and just about 4 years.
Mr. LIEBELER. So, it would have been about 1937 or 1938 that you
started at the university in Leningrad?
Mrs. RAY. Well, wait minute, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941; see, 3-1/2 year
and they constantly, every second year they send you some place, you
know, practice.
Mr. LIEBELER. So, the time you were in Siberia was part of a practice
program in connection with your college?
Mrs. RAY. No; at this time that's my job. That's where I have to go.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you actually go from Leningrad to Siberia to start
work?
Mrs. RAY. Yes; I went; I been once before on practice job then I come
back and then they assign me to Siberia.
Mr. LIEBELER. And, you actually went to Siberia before you came to
Stalingrad?
Mrs. RAY. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. How long did you stay in Siberia before you came back to
Leningrad?
Mrs. RAY. This time I did not stay long. I had this plant they have on
ground.
Mr. LIEBELER. Salt processing?
Mrs. RAY. Yes; I have 2-months vacation and I told them that I did like
to go back home. You know they let you do these things; you have to
admit it and then go back and have us vacation and that's how come I
coming home.
Mr. LIEBELER. So, you were not in Siberia very long at all when you
went there the first time?
Mrs. RAY. No; but I been to Siberia before on practice.
Mr. LIEBELER. Let's go back to the conversation that you were having
with Mr. Bouhe about possibility that Oswald might have been sent here
by the Russians for some purpose, that the Russians had devised for him
or asked him to do it.
Mrs. RAY. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Tell us as best you can recall what the conversation was?
Mrs. RAY. Well, seems to be everybody that hasn't just--first I talk
with George but then everybody just starting wondering, you know, said
why they taken him back; said that's funny, they should not taken him
back, never can tell what is going happen. George--one said he don't
have any guts to do anything, not any kind--he is just man that is
silly. We just decided on this party that he just isn't crazy but--I
don't know how to explain.
Mr. LIEBELER. Mental case?
