United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SENATOR. On Davidson Avenue in the Bronx. Then from Davidson I
think I moved to Walton Avenue. These are all close by, these streets,
you know. I would probably say a distance of maybe 4, 5, or 6 blocks,
something of that nature. Then I lived there—I am trying to think now.
I have to jump back a lot of years and can’t think of these outright.
Mr. HUBERT. We understand that and we understand therefore that your
answers must be approximations.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, they are approximations. When I got this job jerking
sodas there, now I’m in my twenties already. Of course, this is in the
1930 years. I was approximately around 25 when I was working in the
Bronx jerking sodas and still living with my sister.
Mr. HUBERT. That was around 1938, I take it?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, and 1939; 1938 and 1939.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember the place at which you worked?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, sure, J. S. Krums, chocolatiers. That is on the Grand
Concourse.
Mr. HUBERT. How long did you stay there?
Mr. SENATOR. I would probably say I may have been there around 2 years.
Now this is roughly guessing. Then the place went out on strike and I
went out of a job. Then from there, two other fellows who were employed
with us, we all went down to Florida. We went down to Florida for the
winter and got a job there for $14 a week and stayed all winter, then
we come back again.
Mr. HUBERT. What kind of work were you doing and who was your employer?
Mr. SENATOR. I couldn’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. Or employers?
Mr. SENATOR. I couldn’t remember. It was a cafeteria with a soda
fountain and I worked at the soda fountain. It has been so many, many
years.
Mr. HUBERT. Who were the other two people that you went with?
Mr. SENATOR. One fellow, his name was Ike Heilberun, and the other is—I
can’t remember his name.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you seen either of those two people in the last 10 or
20 years?
Mr. SENATOR. I would say—no, one I haven’t seen in many, many years. As
a matter of fact, I think even before the war.
Mr. HUBERT. Which one, the one whose name you don’t remember?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And the other one?
Mr. SENATOR. The other I think the last time I saw him must have been
maybe around 6 years or 7 years ago. He is down in Florida.
Mr. HUBERT. What kind of work is he doing?
Mr. SENATOR. He is in the stationery business, if he still is, I mean.
He was.
Mr. HUBERT. And you met him in connection with work or socially or how,
that is 6 years ago?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, no; it happened to be I went down there. I went down
there for a vacation there.
Mr. HUBERT. And you looked him up?
Mr. SENATOR. And I looked him up and I found him and when I found him
he was in the stationery end.
Mr. HUBERT. How extended was your visit with him then?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, just casual. I would probably say maybe I saw him two
or three times.
Mr. HUBERT. No business relations?
Mr. SENATOR. No, no; no business relations whatsoever.
