Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; these are all apartment houses—the various places.
They have all been apartment houses. That was on Live Oak. I believe
that is where I moved next.
Mr. HUBERT. Whom did you share that apartment with?
Mr. SENATOR. I stayed there with two other boys, Ronnie Unger and
Kenny—I can’t think of his last name.
Mr. HUBERT. How long did you live there?
Mr. SENATOR. Pardon me?
Mr. HUBERT. How long did you live there?
Mr. SENATOR. Let me get to this first, please. After I moved, when I
moved in with them, the thing I was trying to figure out before I got
there, now I got through with Smoler Brothers and I can’t think of what
year. Do you have a listing of it?
Mr. HUBERT. Our records indicate you last worked for Smoler’s, or
rather, that there is no more income reported from Smoler’s after July
of 1958.
Mr. SENATOR. That is probably when I got through, in 1958. That is when
I got through with Smoler’s, in 1958. I don’t remember when I was with
Smoler’s that I was still living at Columbia Avenue or not. I may have
been living there yet. I don’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, we have the sequence of your addresses and the last
place was at the Oasis.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, from Oasis where did you go to live?
Mr. SENATOR. Where I moved to?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. From the Oasis I think, I’m not sure now but I think from
the Oasis, I think I went on the road for 9 months and just lived all
over, if I recall right.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you working with Smoler’s then?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I’m not sure I went from the Oasis. I don’t remember
if I——
Mr. HUBERT. Let’s see if this will assist your memory. The social
security reports indicate that after the second quarter of 1958, which
would mean after July of 1958, you reported no income or no earnings
were reported, put it that way, for the last half of 1958, for all of
1959, for all of 1960, and for all of 1961. Now, can you tell us what
you were doing and where you were living for those 3½ years, starting
from July of 1958 until apparently——
Mr. SENATOR. July of 1958?
Mr. HUBERT. July of 1958 until apparently the beginning of 1962, when
you were employed by the Volume Sales Co. and Merchandise Mart, Dallas.
That is 3½ years there and I would like to know just what you were
doing and where you were living?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I don’t know if I can put them all together right.
Mr. HUBERT. Do the best you can.
Mr. SENATOR. Now, when I was still living on Columbia Avenue, I don’t
remember if I was still with Smoler’s then.
Mr. HUBERT. In any case you moved to the Oasis?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I moved to the Oasis.
Mr. HUBERT. From the Oasis and after you left Smoler’s whenever it was,
you got on the road.
Mr. SENATOR. Wait; after I left Smoler’s, I had a couple of odd jobs
traveling which did not mean too much because they were not top lines
and moneywise there was no money to really be made. These were odds,
and then I finally got back with Rhea again.
