(Testimony of George Senator)

Mr. Senator.
I believe that was the first job I had when I got down in Miami, if I am not mistaken. I think that was the first job I got. That was an open stand on the oceanfront.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember that you worked there actually for the first 6 months?
Mr. Senator.
At the Hensroost?
Mr. Hubert.
Of 1947.
Mr. Senator.
At Hensroost? I can't quote how long I worked there, but I know that I worked there.
Mr. Hubert.
Now then, perhaps we can reconstruct the thing, because you apparently left there at the Hensroost in midsummer of 1947, and then you pick up in midsummer of 1948 in New Hampshire, and it is the intervening year that I would like to have you cover.
Mr. Senator.
Wait a minute. Oh, then I think after that, yes, I was out of a job for a while and I don't recall how long. Then I got a job in another little luncheonette for a while and I don't know how long that was.
Mr. Hubert.
It may be that you did not have enough earnings to require reporting them, you see. What I am trying to do is assist your memory. Do you recall leaving Miami Beach to go to New Hampshire?
Mr. Senator.
Oh, sure; I remember going. I don't remember what year, but I remember going, yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember what time of the year, whatever year it was?
Mr. Senator.
Yes; I went there for one summer.
Mr. Hubert.
For the season?
Mr. Senator.
The season; yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Your wife went with you?
Mr. Senator.
No.
Mr. Hubert.
She stayed in Miami?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
When you finished the season there, what happened?
Mr. Senator.
Well, I come back and I was--I'm trying to think. What year was that, 1940-what?
Mr. Hubert.
It was the last half of 1948. Perhaps I can assist your memory too by pointing out that your social security records indicate that you worked for T-A Troops.
Mr. Senator.
Yes, that is the place I was trying to mention to you but I couldn't think of it. Now I don't remember if I worked for that place after I come back or before. That is the thing I don't remember.
Mr. Hubert.
You worked for that place quite a length of time, I believe.
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
How long? Do you remember?
Mr. Senator.
Gee, I don't remember how long I worked there.
Mr. Hubert.
Where did you live when you were working for Troops?
Mr. Senator.
Northwest Fourth Terrace.
Mr. Hubert.
Miami Beach?
Mr. Senator.
No; Miami.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, the restaurant was in Miami Beach?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
On Collins Avenue?
Mr. Senator.
That is right; yes.
Mr. Hubert.
You lived in Miami City itself?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you living with your wife then?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall what your next move was?
Mr. Senator.
I believe my next move is I got a job selling. I was broken selling women's apparel, if I recall right.
Mr. Hubert.
Women's apparel?
Mr. Senator.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Before we leave the Miami Beach situation, what was the of your leaving Miami Beach and the Miami area, because apparently you did?
Mr. Senator.
You mean when I went to Texas?
