Mr. Senator. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Or trying to find out if there was any connection between those two?
Mr. Senator. Yes; he wanted to know why.
Mr. Hubert. And it was the fact that the ad was published and the sign was posted that he attributed to the Communists or the Birch Society.
Mr. Senator. Yes; and he couldn’t understand why the Dallas Morning News would ever print such a thing like that, say that in their paper.
Mr. Hubert. You see what I am trying to get at is whether he manifested in any way that his thinking associated the assassination of the President with the posting of the Warren poster and publication of the ad, or rather whether he was simply associating the fact of the publication of the ad and the posting of the poster with communism, and so forth.
Mr. Senator. To my belief I think he was trying to associate the ad and the poster with the Communist Party or the John Birch Society.
Mr. Hubert. You did not gather from what he said that he associated the death of the President to the Birch Society or the Communists or any other group?
Mr. Senator. Not at the time that we were talking; rather, he was talking about the signs.
Mr. Hubert. That is, the poster and the ad?
