Mr. Eisenberg. No; I will ask after he has finished with it.
Mr. Stombaugh. Occasionally we will run into situations in hairs, where we cannot determine with any certainty whether or not the hairs are of the Caucasian or Negroid or Mongoloid race, by examining it longitudinally, and we have to make a cross-section of the hair. If we make a cross-section of the hair it is the same as taking a banana and cutting off a very thin slice of the banana and placing it under a microscope and examining it. We find in the Caucasian race the hairs are oval in shape. In the Negroid race the hairs are flat, and have a flattened appearance, and in the Mongoloid race they are perfectly round. This is another characteristic which we use in determining the racial origin of hair.
Mr. Eisenberg. May I have this chart admitted as 670?
Mr. Dulles. Yes.
(Commission Exhibit No. 670 was marked, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. Was it definitely established in your mind as a result of the various characteristics you have explained that the hairs found in the blanket were Caucasian hairs?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes, sir; they were all Caucasian hairs.
Mr. Eisenberg. Did you examine those hairs and compare them with any known samples to determine whether they might have come from any specific individual?
Mr. Stombaugh. Yes; I did.
Mr. Eisenberg. What was your conclusion on that score?
