Mr. Griffin. Do you remember any particular things that he expressed great like or dislike for?
Mr. Kantor. Well, I remember one time he told me that he had met a movie star—and I honestly don’t remember her name, except that she was sort of on the way down—out at Love Field, somewhere around 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning. He was out there, for whatever reason I don’t know. And he talked to her for a period of time until her plane was ready. She was just going through. And he had gotten a promise from her to appear at his club. He was just ecstatic about this. He thought this was the greatest thing in the world. He was full of praise for her, because she stopped and talked with him, without knowing him at all.
Mr. Griffin. Now, you were in Dallas, were you not, at the time that President Kennedy was shot?
Mr. Kantor. Yes; I was.
Mr. Griffin. Can you tell us where you were at the approximate time that the shots were fired?
Mr. Kantor. I was in the motorcade. I was in the White House Press Bus No. 2. This was about—I don’t know—11 vehicles back, or some such.
Mr. Griffin. Now, were you in a position where you could hear the shots or see any of the actions?
Mr. Kantor. I heard the last two shots. I didn’t know there were three shots until some time later.
Mr. Griffin. Well, after the shots were fired, what did you do?
Mr. Kantor. We tried to get off the bus to see what had happened, but we were not allowed to, and the bus went at a high rate of speed out to the Dallas Trade Mart. There we were let out at a side entrance, and we still had no word of anything. We raced up four flights to a press office up there, and still could not find out what happened. So we raced down the four flights again.
