Mr. Jenner. When Mr. Oswald was in the living room with you ladies and gentlemen, the conversation was in English, was it not?

Mrs. Paine. Yes.

Mr. Jenner. I take it, then, that when Marina returned to the room Russian was spoken, at least by those who had command of the Russian language.

Mrs. Paine. When she was in the same room, there was more than one conversation going on, and in two languages.

Mr. Jenner. When anybody spoke to Marina——

Mrs. Paine. It was in Russian.

Mr. Jenner. It was in Russian. When people spoke with each other other than with Marina, it was in English, is that correct?

Mrs. Paine. That is my best recollection.

Mr. Jenner. Now, in very short compass what was your impression of Mr. Oswald at that initial party?

Mrs. Paine. I thought he was pleased to be interesting to this group of people and glad to tell them about his experience, to answer their questions. He seemed open and forthright. I did wonder as he was talking about it whether he had come to the conclusion after being in the Soviet Union that their system was inferior.
