Mr. Rankin. You don't recall testifying to that?*
Mrs. Oswald. I testified that he was a—slesar.
Mr. Gregory. Off the record, please?
She names a trade and that Russian word stands for locksmith, but I know that he was not a locksmith, I mean, from the description of work that he was doing. He was working at a factory where he was assembling details for—metallic details. He was a machinist apprentice working on parts for radio receivers.
Mr. Rankin. He told the FBI at one time in one of the interviews that he was busy reading blueprints and translating them.
Mr. Gregory, are you telling me what she says his job was or are you telling me what you know?
Mr. Gregory. No; she's telling me, but Mrs. Oswald tells me that the technical name of his job was the Russian word (spelling) s-l-e-s-a-r'.
Mr. Rankin. Now, will you describe, Mrs. Oswald, what he did in that job so it will be clearer than just that word. Tell us what he did?*
*Mrs. Oswald. I have never been at the plant where Lee worked or in any factory, but from the description that Lee gave me——
Mr. Rankin. Tell us that?* **
