Mrs. Paine. Way out in Irving; yes.
Mr. Jenner. And she could dial the number if she wished?
Mrs. Paine. Yes; she knew how to do that.
Mr. McCloy. Did you at any time get any evidence to indicate that she was in touch with any Soviet officials at all, the consul general? Did she ever talk of going to the Soviet Embassy or the Soviet Consulate in regard to her problems?
Mrs. Paine. No. The only thing ever mentioned was this that I have already mentioned for the record—that she had written to the Soviet Embassy inquiring about papers to go back.
Mr. McCloy. Did you think she did that on her own initiative?
Mrs. Paine. No; because he was insisting.
Mr. Dulles. We have a copy of that letter, have we not?
Mr. McCloy. Did she ever tell you why she didn't want to return to the Soviet Union?
Mrs. Paine. She said she liked America better.
