Mr. Jenner. Did you notice any incidents in which—at that party—in which people——
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. My wife will tell you more about this Yaeko incident, because she knows a little bit better.
Mr. Jenner. I will make a note of that so I can talk to her about it.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. And she is more on the gossipy side. I'm always happy if a girl likes a boy and a boy likes a girl—it does not matter who they are.
Mr. Jenner. Were there any incidents that you recall in which members at that party were talking with Marina and Oswald interrupted?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No; I do not recall, because I did not speak to them. I just left them alone, hoping that they would find some people to talk to.
Mr. Jenner. And the contacts you had with Marina and Lee, was there ever any discussion on the subject of whether people in Russia when they were there were chary about talking with Lee because they were afraid he might be an agent of some kind?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. It is a question I have to try to think a little bit about.
I have a vague recollection that either Lee or Marina did tell me the people were afraid of him, and I think that was probably Oswald that told me, that the people were afraid of him, like many foreigners. So I thought that was very understandable, because you know the Communists are scared—not the Communists, but the people in Russia are scared to talk to foreigners.
We had an incident ourselves when we went to Mexico, to a Russian exhibit, to a Russian Fair, and tried to speak to an architect there in charge of the architectural exhibit. This was a lady architect, a charming woman. We spoke to her for about 5 minutes, and then she disappeared, and you could not find her any more. She ran away from us. She was scared of us. That is the usual thing.
