Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Because from what I know they wanted him to take a Communist passport, and he refused.
Mr. Jenner. Was he anti-Communist?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That is from what I know he is supposed to have Chinese passport.
Mr. Jenner. Was he anti-Communist?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. He was—not the chief, but the elderly friend for the Scouts. We had a wonderful Scout organization, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. He was very, very active in that. He was sort of like a patron for it. We have a marvelous organization in China. In fact, I didn't see anywhere in the world yet—how well it was conducted.
Mr. Jenner. Now, what happened to your father eventually?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. We never could, since 1941, right after Pearl Harbor——
Mr. Jenner. What?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. After Pearl Harbor, we didn't have any communications at all, neither myself nor my brother. We tried to check through the Red Cross and find out. Nothing could be done. We just couldn't find out. Whenever I saw some people that returned from China, came over, and whenever I asked them what happened to my parents, did you see them, how are they, they never said a word, said they didn't know, they just disappeared. Then in 1957, when I saw my brother, he told me that he didn't want to tell me, but he found out in 1945 and he knew then they were both dead for quite a while already. Father was killed by the Communists.
Mr. Jenner. Which Communists?
