(Testimony of Irving Statman)

Mr. Statman.
No; you are right---okay--they contacted Fort Worth on 10-10-62, and received this information from them.
Mr. Jenner.
This aptitude information from them?
Mr. Statman.
Right. In other words, the test was not administered in the Dallas office, it was administered in Fort Worth. Have I got you confused, finally?
Mr. Jenner.
No;you don't have me confused; you are doing splendidly. You are very helpful.
Mr. Statman.
Now, this document [Cunningham Exhibit No. 3] is a claim document, B-3 (a) .
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me, may I have this described a little more for the record?
Mr. Statman.
Well, I want you to note that there is an original date on there indicating a New Orleans address and then a Dallas address.
Mr. Jenner.
You are going to explain that--all .I'm going to do at the moment is to identify the document for the record.
Mr. Statman.
It is a B-3 (a), Cunningham Exhibit No. 3.
Mr. Jenner.
It is a document in typing opposite the printed designation--the name is "L. H. Oswald" and to the right of that in printing is "SS Number," which I take it is his social security number?
Mr. Statman.
Right.
Mr. Jenner.
It is 433--54-3937. In longhand above that line, I have Just read, appears P.O. Box 30061.
Mr. Statman.
All right--now, to go on with that and also in longhand is the Irving address, 2515 West Fifth, Irving.
Mr. Jenner.
I see there are some strike-outs.
Mr. Statman.
Right. Now, the original document was typed giving Oswald, 757 France Street, New Orleans, La.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it French?
Mr. Statman.
France it looks like France.
Mr. Jenner.
French, F-r-e-n-c-h [spelling].
Mr. Statman.
It looks like "a" to me.
Mr. Jenner.
F-r-a-n-c-e [spelling]. We'll let Mr. Davis look at it.
Mr. Davis.
I think it is French, F-r-e-n-c-h [spelling]. It's French in the writing.
Mr. Statman.
I'm talking about the typing now--the typing is "a."
Mr. Davis.
Well, the typing is "a," but it looks like the writing is French.
Mr. Statman.
I was just talking about the typing. I'm just discussing the typing with you now.
Mr. Jenner.
Okay, it is 757 France Street in typing. Following that is French Street, stricken out, that is in longhand, and above the strike-out is 2515 West Fifth, in longhand, and below that is "Irving, Texas."
Mr. Statman.
The reason I am making a differentiation between that, is that the typing of it was done in New Orleans because that is where this document was originally issued.
Mr. Jenner.
Why was it originally issued in New Orleans?
Mr. Statman.
Because he was in New Orleans filing an interstate claim against Texas.
Mr. Jenner.
The interstate claim being a claim of an applicant who has been residing in a State other than Texas and he is making a claim against the State of Texas.
Mr. Statman.
Well, it is a claim where a person has earned his wages in one State and is filing in another State against the State in which he has earned his wage credits. So, he has earned his wage credits in Texas. He was filing in .New Orleans against the State of Texas. That's where this original document was made.
Mr. Jenner.
Does it appear from this document as to when that claim was filed in New Orleans?
Mr. Statman.
I am just trying to figure out something here---the initial claim in New Orleans was, filed on 4-29-63.
Mr. Jenner.
That's the 29th day of May, 1963, when he filed the claim in New Orleans?
