Mr. Jenner. Did you question or discuss with him whether he found that the system in Russia was a Marxist society or whether it was——
Mr. Stuckey. Yes; he wasn't very pleased apparently with some of the aspects of Russian political life. Particularly in the factories he said that a lot of the attitudes and this sort of thing was the same sort of attitude that you would find in an American factory. There was a lot of dead-heading, as we say in Louisiana. I don't know what your expression is.
Mr. Jenner. Goldbricking.
Mr. Stuckey. Goldbricking. The boss' relatives on the payrolls at nice salaries.
Mr. Jenner. Nepotism.
Mr. Stuckey. Nepotism, this sort of thing. Anybody with any authority at all would just use it to death to get everybody extra privileges that they could, and a lot of dishonesty, padding of production figures and this sort of thing. He said he wasn't very impressed.
Mr. Jenner. Were you curious as to why he had come back to the United States and did you, if you were curious, discuss that subject with him?
Mr. Stuckey. I don't believe I did. As a matter of fact, I wasn't curious at the time. We just accepted the fact that he had. In hindsight we should have asked a lot of questions about him.
Mr. Jenner. The newspaper material that you had read, there was, was there not, something about his dishonorable discharge from the Marines?
Mr. Stuckey. No; I don't recall any reference to that in the newspapers. Incidentally, Oswald had told me and had produced a discharge card that he was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps. He produced a card showing this.
