Mr. Hubert. His view, generally, then, was that an elected official should be respected, is that the idea?

Mr. Hubert. Right.

Mr. Hubert. Because they had been elected by the people?

Mr. Armstrong. Right.

Mr. Hubert. Did you ever hear him discuss the President of the United States?

Mr. Armstrong. I’m sure I have—everybody has, but I don’t know of what nature or what subject, but I’m sure I heard him discuss the President.

Mr. Hubert. Now, of course, you know that in this country as perhaps all over the world there are different views about government, and society normally called “isms” left or right or communisms or pro-Castro or anti-Castro or things of that sort?

Mr. Armstrong. Yes.

Mr. Hubert. Have you ever heard Ruby express himself in areas of thought such as those?

Mr. Armstrong. No; I know he threw a guy out of the club once for speaking as a Communist.
