Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Hubert. Did you go to any gambling houses?
Mr. Senator. Me? No; of course I’m certain there must be sneak gambling you know, like anyone else. They call it sneak gambling, you know, you do it under cover. But at that time when I got down there, I think it was either shut down or close to being shut down. I don’t remember just what year it was. They just clamped down, you know.
Of course, I remember when I first went there as a kid, everything was open. Slot machines used to be on the streets and all that.
Mr. Hubert. Have you yourself ever done any gambling?
Mr. Senator. No; I’m no gambler. When you put it this way, I will put it this way: You mean have I played poker at home, 5 and 10 or something like that?
Mr. Hubert. No.
Mr. Senator. No; the only time that I ever did any gambling was when I was overseas. I was in the jungles for approximately 3 years. What other recreation did we have? So we gambled.
Mr. Hubert. I want to explore a bit more the means by which you obtained money to live during the 2½ years that you were apparently unemployed, at least no earnings were reported, that is to say, from July of 1958 until the first of 1962.
Mr. Senator. What years?
