Senator Cooper. What?
Mrs. Paine. It made him an odd person. I was interested in the curious sense of what could have motivated him to do this.
Senator Cooper. Having that interest, didn't you ever talk to him about it, inquire about his experience?
Mrs. Paine. I guess I wasn't interested enough.
Senator Cooper. What led him to do it?
Mrs. Paine. And as I have already testified he always wanted to speak Russian to me, which shortens my tongue. I can't say as much or raise as many questions.
Senator Cooper. Well, did you try to search out the reasons for his defection and the reasons for returning?
Mrs. Paine. No; I didn't.
Senator Cooper. And his political views, his economic views, that kind of thing?
Mrs. Paine. No; I regret now that I didn't take any interest, but I did not.
