be an enlargement.

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes, this is an enlargement of that photograph.

      Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, in Exhibit 133, in one of the pictures your husband has a newspaper, it appears.

      Mr. Dulles. I think in both of them.

      Mr. Rankin. I want to correct that.

      In both he appears to have a newspaper. In one of them he has the newspaper in the right hand and in the other in the left hand. Do you know what newspaper that is?

      Mrs. Oswald. It says there "Militant." But I don't know what kind of a paper that is—whether it is Communist, anti-Communist.

      Mr. Rankin. Do you recall how much earlier than the Walker incident you took these photographs?

      Mrs. Oswald. About two weeks.

      Mr. Rankin. Was the enlargement of one of those pictures, Exhibit 134, made by you, or by someone else?

      Mrs. Oswald. No, I don't know who made the enlargement.

      Mr. Rankin. Have you seen Exhibit 134, the enlargement, before this?

      Mrs. Oswald. No. I have been shown an enlargement, but I don't know whether this is the one I have been shown.

      Mr. Rankin. Who showed that to you?

      Mrs. Oswald. Apart from Mr. Gopadze, somebody else showed me an enlargement.

      Mr. Rankin. Does this appear to be like the enlargement that you saw?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes. I think it was specially enlarged for the investigation.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit No. 134.

      The Chairman. It may be admitted.

      (The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 134, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit No. 136 purports to be a clipping from a newspaper. It is a clipping of an advertisement, a mail coupon.

      Mrs. Oswald. I don't know what that is.

      Mr. Rankin. Do you recognize the handwriting on it?

      Mrs. Oswald. Lee's handwriting.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 135.

      The Chairman. It will be admitted.

      (The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 135, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Rankin. I call the Commission's attention to the fact that this is the coupon under which it appears the rifle was ordered, showing an enclosed $10 notation—"Check for $29.95, A. G. Hidell, age 28, post office box 2915, Dallas, Texas."

      And it is marked, "One—quantity. Point 38 ST. W. 2 inch barrel, 29.95," and underlined is 29.95, and an arrow at that point.

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 136 is a camera contained within a leather case.

      Mrs. Oswald. This is a Russian camera.

      Mr. Rankin. Is that the camera you used to take the pictures you have referred to?

      Mrs. Oswald. I don't remember exactly whether it was an American camera or this.

      Mr. Rankin. But this was one of your cameras, or your husband's cameras?

      Mrs. Oswald. My husband's camera.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 136.

      The Chairman. It may be admitted.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 136, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 137 is a camera in a leather case.

      Mr. Rankin. Have you ever seen that camera before?

      Mrs. Oswald. No.

      Mr. Dulles. Is that a Russian camera?

      Mrs. Oswald. No.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 137 for identification.)

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 138 is a flash attachment for some type of camera. It is an Ansco flash attachment.

      Mrs. Oswald. I have never seen it.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 138 for identification.)

      Mr. Rankin. Do you know what happened to the American camera that you referred to?

      Mrs. Oswald. I don't know.

      Mr. Rankin. Was this Ansco flash equipment an attachment for that camera?

      Mrs. Oswald. I have never seen it. It seems to me that it is new.

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 139.

      Mrs. Oswald. This is the fateful rifle of Lee Oswald.

      Mr. Rankin. Is that the scope that it had on it, as far as you know?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 139.

      The Chairman. It may be admitted.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 139, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 140 apparently is a blanket.

      Mr. Rankin. Have you seen that before, Mrs. Oswald?

      Mrs. Oswald. This is still from Russia. June loved to play with that blanket.

      Mr. Rankin. Was that the blanket that your husband used to cover up the rifle?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes. We didn't use this blanket as a cover. He used it for the rifle.

      Mr. Rankin. And it was the blanket that you saw and thought was covering the rifle in the garage at the Paine's, is it?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes.

      Mr. Rankin. Did he use it as a cover for the rifle at other places where you lived?

      Mrs. Oswald. No.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 140.

      The Chairman. It may be admitted.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 140, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Rankin. Did you say that June played with this blanket, Exhibit 140?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes. I would put that on the floor to make it softer—on a balcony, for example, when June was playing on it.

      Mr. Rankin. Is that in this country or in Russia?

      Mrs. Oswald. She didn't crawl yet in Russia.

      Mr. Rankin. What balcony was that—what house?

      Mrs. Oswald. On Neely Street, in Dallas.

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 141 is an envelope that contains a bullet.

      Mr. Rankin. Have you ever seen bullets or shells like that that your husband had?

      Mrs. Oswald. I think Lee's were smaller.

      Mr. Rankin. If that was the size for his gun, would that cause you to think it was the same?

      Mrs. Oswald. Probably.

      Mr. Rankin. Where did you see his?

      Mrs. Oswald. In New Orleans, and on Neely Street.

      Mr. Rankin. In the box, or laying loose some place?

      Mrs. Oswald. In a box.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 141.

      The Chairman. It may be admitted.

      (The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 141, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 142 is some kraft paper, brown wrapping paper.

      Mrs. Oswald. It wasn't brown before.

      Mr. Rankin. Did you ever see that
