Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; I don't think it is the same document.
Mr. JENNER. Now I will have the witness look at pages 247 through 301.
This is a composition entitled "The Collective" and "Minsk, Russia,"
with a foreword, an autobiographical sketch of Oswald.
I will direct your attention to some of these headings, "Description
of Radio Factory," "Quota Conditions," "Description of TV Shop,"
"Background of Shops," "Individual Workers," "Controls of Collectives,"
"Demonstrations in Meetings," "Factory Makeup," and "Peoples," "Layout
of City of Minsk," "Tourist Permits and Tourist Passports," "Collective
Farms and Schools, Vacations."
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; I don't remember this document, but I think I
remember something, "Layout of City of Minsk," because that would have
attracted my attention.
Mr. JENNER. All right, let's find that spot.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That looks familiar to me.
Mr. JENNER. First there is a heading, "About the Author." I call your
attention to a statement which says, "Exotic journeys on his part
to Japan and the Philippines and the scores of odd islands in the
Pacific." Did he ever discuss that with you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No.
Mr. JENNER. He was at Subic Bay in the Philippines?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; I don't remember him mentioning that to me.
Mr. JENNER. Now the witness is looking at part 1, which is on page 248.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; this looks slightly, vaguely familiar,
starting from page 248. That looks vaguely familiar. I am not going
to read all this because it looks very boring to me. I mean it is
something that doesn't interest me. It looks vaguely familiar.
Mr. JENNER. Does it also refresh your recollection of discussions you
had with him before his life in Russia?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That looks familiar to me.
Mr. JENNER. This whole division?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. This whole division looks familiar to me. As
I said before, I did not look carefully when I originally saw this
document, and I think this is the same one, because it looks familiar
to me.
I just glanced through. I realized that it is not fit for publication.
You can see it right away. Who is interested to read about comrade this
and comrade that, you see?
But it is a factual, it seems like a factual report on his conditions
of life of a worker.
Mr. JENNER. It is horrible grammar.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Horrible grammar.
Mr. JENNER. And horrible spelling.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But it could be reworked by somebody?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Let's get to the next division here.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Here is something that I remember we discussed.
Mr. JENNER. You are now at page 262.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think here he talks about those meetings.
Mr. JENNER. That he did not like?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That he did not like.
