Mr. Liebeler. Can you set the date of this discussion that you had with Oswald?

Mr. Paine. That was fairly soon after his coming back. So let's say the middle of October.

Mr. Liebeler. Did he discuss with you, your ability or inability to determine what they wanted you to do by reading between the lines after you had read the publication?

Mr. Paine. No, I just handed it back to him.

Mr. Liebeler. Was there anything else said between you at that time on that subject?

Mr. Paine. He asked me how did I like it.

Mr. Liebeler. What did you say?

Mr. Paine. And I tried to be polite. I said it was awful extreme, I thought.

Mr. Liebeler. Did he respond to that?

Mr. Paine. I think that was the end of it.
