Mr. VOSHININ. Well, Mr. Bouhe, he likes to help people but he likes to
mix in their affairs----
Mr. JENNER. Their personal affairs?
Mr. VOSHININ. And tell them what to do and what not to do. And I don't
need a nurse here now. I like to listen to people's advice but I don't
like to have a nurse. I'm grown up. That's why I don't like--didn't
like his approach too well.
Mr. JENNER. Bouhe, while a well meaning and helpful man, he was a
little aggressive in your personal affairs?
Mr. VOSHININ. Yeah. Well, he is with everybody. He is an old bachelor,
you know, and he doesn't have anything else to do.
Mr. JENNER. May I inquire with respect to that--your aversion, at
least initially, to Mr. Bouhe was confined to the fact, was it not
that you thought him a little too aggressive insofar as your personal
affairs--particularly advising you and directing you as to what to and
what not to do?
Mr. VOSHININ. Yes. Well, everybody complaining the same way.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Mr. VOSHININ. Yes. Although I don't mind him helping people.
Mr. JENNER. Specifically, however, that aversion has nothing to do, has
it, with any political views that Mr. Bouhe may entertain?
Mr. VOSHININ. No.
Mr. JENNER. And I mean "political" in the sense of his views on
government--communism--conservatism--whatever it might be?
Mr. VOSHININ. No. But my impression is that he is rather
conservative--in Russian politics, I mean. He always talks about
the Czarist times and about the times his father was some big shot
somewhere.
Mr. JENNER. In Russia?
Mr. VOSHININ. Yeah.
Mr. JENNER. Do you regard him, however, as a loyal American?
Mr. VOSHININ. Uh--well, I don't know. We never talked about any
American politics with him. So I regard him as far as I don't have any
proof otherwise.
Mr. JENNER. You don't suspect him, however, of any Communist
affiliation?
Mr. VOSHININ. Well--uh--one is accustomed to suspect everybody.
Mr. JENNER. Well, no more than that?
Mr. VOSHININ. But--uh--no more than that, I would say.
Mr. JENNER. Now, your acquaintance with people here in Dallas
broadened, did it not, as time went on?
Mr. VOSHININ. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. I take it that, initially at least, your acquaintance was
largely among that segment of the community or society here of people
from Russia, Yugoslavia, and Central European countries?
Mr. VOSHININ. Yeah--and Lebanon.
Mr. JENNER. Lebanon, also?
Mr. VOSHININ. Yeah--well, those people who come to church.
