Mr. Liebeler. For the benefit of the Commission the record indicates it was about April 2, 1963, that that occurred. Tell us to the best of your recollection what the conversation about General Walker was at that time?
Mr. Paine. I think he had mentioned, a friend of ours had a German wife and she just achieved her citizenship papers, and this had been done at the ceremony and General Walker had been invited to lead the singing, conducted by June Davis who is somewhat old and slipped into error of calling him Judge Walker every once in a while, and it somewhat offended this friend of ours who was aware of why she liked this country, freedoms, and liberties and values that are expressed here. And she was rather sorry that Walker should take it upon himself to define, to these stupid foreigners or these ignorant foreigners, what this country stands for. So I think I mentioned this episode to him.
Representative Ford. Him being Oswald?
Mr. Paine. Oswald, and I think he smiled and nodded his assent. I don't think he said any—I don't think he made any important remarks about Walker.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember anything that he said about Walker at all?
Mr. Paine. I think that is the only time, probably the only time we mentioned Walker.
Mr. Dulles. To refresh my recollection, there was about 2 days or——
Mr. Liebeler. 8 days before.
Mr. Rankin. It was on the 10th.
Senator Cooper. Did he indicate in any way that he knew about General Walker at that time?
