Mrs. Paine. I will not be paid for any story I write, and I am certain now I don't want to write any such story. I have, however, worked with Miss Jessamyn West, who is an author for an article which will appear in Time and Red Book magazine, or I expect it will. She is writing that, she talked to me.
Mr. Jenner. She approached you on that article?
Mrs. Paine. No one approached me in that article. Was already decided before I was asked. But that is——
Mr. Jenner. Who decided it?
Mrs. Paine. I had implied that I would be willing to do this, but not to anyone I thought was making an offer. This is aside.
Mr. Jenner. This was an offer to help the subject of the interview being interviewed?
Mrs. Paine. All I really should say in clarification here is that there was bad communication between Red Book, Miss West and myself, and she was under the impression that I had agreed to do this before she had in fact been contacted, but then the fact of Red Book and Miss West thinking that this was something I had agreed to I then did agree to do it.
(Discussion off the record.)
Senator Cooper. Back on the record.
Have you been paid or promised any monetary consideration for any article that you might write or you might assist someone else in writing about your experiences connected with the Oswalds?
