Mr. Jenner. What did you mean by that—it is going to be pretty bad?

Mr. Weissman. In other words—this is just exactly the way it worked out. For example——

Mr. Jenner. You are now explaining what you mean by "and it was"?

Mr. Weissman. Right. Stanley Marcus, who was a Dallas businessman, financier——

Mr. Jenner. Nieman Marcus?

Mr. Weissman. Of the Nieman Marcus group, yes, and he was a well-known and rather very rabid liberal. And sure enough, even though the following day it was then established that Oswald was a Marxist and so forth, and there was some question as to whether or not it was a Communist plot, pros and cons, and Marcus put his 2 cents in in the Dallas Times Herald, and he starts blaming the rightwing for the trouble. And I was told—I didn't see this——

Mr. Jenner. This was on the 23d now?

Mr. Weissman. This was on the following day; yes, sir. And, in other words, he and friends of his, I guess, did everything they could to solidify their position as being always in the right, and throw the blame, even though Oswald is obviously a Marxist—they tried to transfer the blame to the rightwing. They had us on the run and they were going to keep it that way.

Mr. Jenner. How did this come to your attention?

Mr. Weissman. Just by reading the newspapers.
