Mr. Liebeler. For whom were you employed up to that time?
Mr. Bouhe. For 9½ years I was employed as a personal accountant of a very prominent Dallas geologist, and probably capitalist if you want to say it, Lewis W. MacNaughton, senior chairman of the board of the well-known geological and engineering firm of DeGolyer & MacNaughton, but I was MacNaughton's personal employee.
Mr. Liebeler. Where were you born, Mr. Bouhe?
Mr. Bouhe. I was born in what was then St. Petersburg, now Leningrad, Russia, on February 11 or 24, 1904, and the difference in dates is because we had the Julian and Gregorian calendar, and I have a baptismal certificate showing February 11.
Mr. Liebeler. Under the old Russian calendar?
Mr. Bouhe. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. That would be February 24 under the present day calendar?
Mr. Bouhe. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Tell us when and how it came that you came to the United States.
Mr. Bouhe. During the years 1920 through 1923 back in Petrograd, Russia, while I was finishing my high school there, which was called the Gymnasium, although it had nothing to do with athletics, I was working for the American Relief Commission as an office boy.
