Mr. Specter. Did you have an official capacity with the union, that is, were you an officer?

Mr. Wall. Well, I was an officer as being elected the president of the inter-union. In other words, all the performers, if there was a complaint that some performer had done something wrong and the management said that he was right and the performer said that they were right, then the performers themselves elected a committee of about six that would determine who was right, and this was the committee and I really don’t even know the correct name of the committee. They would judge who was right and wrong and what would be done about it.

Mr. Specter. Did you have any official standing on the committee which was to take up Jack Ruby’s problem?

Mr. Wall. I don’t understand what you mean.

Mr. Specter. Were you responsible in any official way for the committee which was to consider the problem Jack Ruby had with the guild?

Mr. Wall. My capacity was to make sure that everything was presented correctly and this was the only thing that Jack was after me to do is to make sure his side of the story was heard.

Mr. Specter. Was it up to you to make the decision on who was right and who was wrong?

Mr. Wall. It was up to the committee, six members.

Mr. Specter. You were one of the members of the committee?

Mr. Wall. Right.
