Mr. Liebeler. Did you subsequently discuss it with either Oswald or Krystinik?
Mr. Paine. And in the car going home, Lee asked me if I knew this man he had been talking to, this older man he had been talking to, and I think he said that the man seemed to be friendly to Cuba or rather he said, "Do you think that man is a Communist?" And I said, "No." And then he said something, "I think he is." Then I asked him why and I think he said something in regard to Cuba or sympathy with Cuba, and then I thought to myself, well, that is rather feeble evidence for proving a Communist.
But he seemed to have the attitude of, felt he wanted to meet that man again and was pleased he had met him. I thought to myself if that is the way he has to meet his Communists, he has not yet found the Communist group in Dallas.
Mr. Liebeler. Was there a Communist group in Dallas, to your knowledge?
Mr. Paine. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever speak of a Communist group in Dallas?
Mr. Paine. No; he did not. I had the impression, this I remember clearly that he had not found the group with similar feelings to his. I then asked Frank in regard to, I can't remember when I asked Frank but I asked Frank about the same conversation and whether he thought that this third man was a Communist. And he thought no, he thought the other man was a better—Frank almost got into a fight with Lee, and the other man was more receptive or didn't argue with him, or drew him out better, Frank used the word, I think.
Mr. Liebeler. Drew Oswald out better?
Mr. Paine. Drew Oswald out better. But he didn't gather the impression that he was favoring Castro or Cuba.
Mr. Liebeler. What else did you and Oswald say on the way home after the meeting?
