Mr. Jenner. Anything other than the difficulties two lively boys have when they are naughty?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Were you conscious at that time of the growing difficulty between your mother and Mr. Ekdahl? Was that apparent at that time? Or did that only come later?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. At that time, it was not apparent to me.
Mr. Dulles. At no time was that a factor in your life, particularly?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. I would say at no time it was. In moving up perhaps there to the time of the divorce and everything, I don't remember when Mr. Ekdahl moved out of the house. At that time we were living on Eighth Avenue in Fort Worth. This was during a summer period there. And I think this was the summer after the second year that we attended there—this would be the summer of 1947.
Mr. Dulles. If it is agreeable, I think we will adjourn for just a minute. It is now 11 o'clock.
Representative Ford. Mr. Dulles, may I suggest that we get what the law was in Texas at the time, as to when children mandatorily had to attend school? I think that can be checked out very simply and put in the record.
Mr. Dulles. Yes. I think that should be in the record.
(Brief recess.)
