Mr. LITCHFIELD. From July 1963, until January of 1964, I did not work. In July 1963, from March 1, 1962, until July 1963, I sold books and worked myself up to a regional manager’s position. Mr. HUBERT. Of what company? Mr. LITCHFIELD. I was with the Spencer International Press from March of 1962 until May of 1963 working in Dallas-Fort Worth—made district manager in San Jose, Calif., made regional manager February 1963, in Atlanta, Ga., and stayed until May of 1963, and my father’s death brought me back to Dallas. I left Spencer and went to work for Great Books of the Western World in June, made district manager in 2 weeks, and was terminated in July due to my past record. Mr. HUBERT. What do you mean by “past record”? Mr. LITCHFIELD. I have a criminal record when I was 19 years old, that’s 11 years ago. Mr. HUBERT. What is the nature of it? Mr. LITCHFIELD. I forged some hot checks and paid them off, but because I still had a bunch of them out—I had three charges in Fort Worth, eight in Dallas, the sum total was roughly $3,000. Restitution was made prior to the time I went to court. I went to court and received 3 years concurrently on each charge, 3 years on each charge in Fort Worth, 3 years on each charge in Dallas, and concurrently backdated at Fort Worth to August of 1952. Mr. HUBERT. Was that in the Federal Court? Mr. LITCHFIELD. No, sir; State and county. I was in prison from February—well, I was arrested August 1952, pleaded guilty in Fort Worth in November 1952, pleaded guilty in Dallas in January 1953, went to Huntsville Prison in February 1953, made conditional pardon in December 1953—do you want all this? Mr. HUBERT. Yes; and you were released then, I take it? Mr. LITCHFIELD. Right. Pardon was reversed because I was married and I was voluntarily returned from Denver, Colo.; I just came back myself and turned myself in at Huntsville and I was released in April of 1956. Mr. HUBERT. You were actually released from Huntsville in December 1953, under a conditional pardon? Mr. LITCHFIELD. Yes, sir; to Denver, Colo. Mr. HUBERT. That is to say, that it was with the permission of the State of Texas—Texas authorities? Mr. LITCHFIELD. Yes. Mr. HUBERT. Were you on any terms of good conduct? Mr. LITCHFIELD. I had to report each month. Mr. HUBERT. In Denver? Mr. LITCHFIELD. Right, and obtain a job, and I obtained one and my parole officer—I asked him should I tell them I’m on parole, and he said “No,” and three places I worked after I was there he called and asked how I was doing and identified himself, which caused my termination, and the last place I worked was a laundry. I was driving a truck and the man told him—do you want the words he used? Mr. HUBERT. Yes. Mr. LITCHFIELD. “I don’t give a damn what he is doing, he is doing a good job.” And I have a better recommendation from him that he sent me when I came back to Texas. Mr. HUBERT. You said something about turning yourself in?
