Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever have any discussion with Oswald about these periodicals?
Mr. Paine. Yes. He said in regard to, I think, the Worker or at least it was the Worker he gave me to look at as the result of his conversation, he told me if you knew how to read the thing and read between the lines a little bit you could see what they wanted you to do.
Mr. Liebeler. He said that?
Mr. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. When did he say that?
Mr. Paine. I think that was a week or two after he came, pretty soon after coming back. I talked to him rather less and less as the weeks rolled by.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ask him what he meant by that remark?
Mr. Paine. Well, I certainly wish I had, no; I didn't. I took the issue he gave me just to make my eye go over it. I thought to myself instead here is a person who is pretty, well, out of it again if this is the way he gets his communications from headquarters.
Mr. Liebeler. Tell us everything that you can remember about that conversation.
Mr. Paine. That wasn't much of a conversation. It happened in an afternoon. I am afraid I can't remember anything more about it. I remember only the thoughts, I sort of smiled to myself when he said this.
