Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SENATOR. It definitely is a wrong statement.
Mr. HUBERT. You never saw it.
Mr. SENATOR. Now what their conversations may be, you know, after all,
he has talked to all the girls in the club at one time or another. What
the conversations are I don’t know.
Mr. HUBERT. But you never saw anything that would indicate to you in
any way, or heard anything by him that would lead you to the conclusion
that his relationship with any of the girls was of an intimate
character?
Mr. SENATOR. No; if it was, I didn’t know about it.
Mr. HUBERT. What about Jack’s attitude about what his girls did in the
nature of sexual intimacies with other people than himself?
Mr. SENATOR. The girls working in the club?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. You refer to the strippers or the cocktail waitresses?
Mr. HUBERT. I refer to both, and if there is a difference between them
then I would ask you to explain the difference.
Mr. SENATOR. Well, if there was any and he heard about it, I am certain
he would probably yank him out. He didn’t go for that bit.
Mr. HUBERT. Something must have happened that leads you to that
opinion. What is it that leads you to that opinion that he would
certainly have done something about it?
Mr. SENATOR. I have heard him mention that he doesn’t want anybody
outside using any of his girls.
Mr. HUBERT. You yourself have heard him say that?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; he don’t want any of his girls going out with
customers. He didn’t want the place to have a reputation such as that.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he carry that policy to the point of supervising the
personal lives of his strippers and waitresses beyond the area of
relations with people who were in the club?
Mr. SENATOR. Beyond the area?
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you mentioned a moment ago that he didn’t
want any girls to have any dates or anything with any patrons of the
club or customers.
Mr. SENATOR. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. Now my next question is did he extend that policy of
supervision of what his girls did to their personal relations with
people who were not patrons of the club?
Mr. SENATOR. That I don’t know. I don’t know about that. I don’t know.
First of all there can never be controllability of that. After all,
where they are, that is their business, wherever they are, whether it
is day or night. This I can’t even answer you.
Mr. HUBERT. Was Jack sensitive about his religion?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Tell us how you know that?
Mr. SENATOR. Well, he didn’t like the M.C.’s having any jokes about the
Jewish race, things of that nature. Now I have heard him say so to a
couple of M.C.’s already.
Mr. HUBERT. Did he ever talk to you personally about it, say anything
to you?
Mr. SENATOR. No; not particularly. I mean it has always been in the
open. I have even heard him say it right in the club. He don’t want any
Jewish jokes. He was sensitive this way.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you think he was overly sensitive on the subject?
