Mr. Griffin.

Did you remember the names of the reporters you talked to who saw him in the assembly room Friday night?

Mr. Kantor.

Well, there was one reporter in particular whose name I have in my notes at home. He was a radio reporter from New York City. I am afraid that I just cannot recall his name at this moment.

Mr. Griffin.

You have indicated that you do have some notes at home. Have you retained all or substantially all of your notes from the 3 days that you were in Dallas?

Mr. Kantor.

I have kept all my written notes, and then everything was so vivid when I returned that within about 3 weeks or so after I was back I got a tape recorder and talked about 10,000 words into it, which I had not written down, and which I then transcribed by typewriter, and I have those, too.

Mr. Griffin.

Do your notes reflect your activities at Parkland Hospital?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes.

Mr. Griffin.

Do they show any times?

Mr. Kantor.

I believe they do.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, do your notes reflect your interview with Billy Combest?

Mr. Kantor.

I believe that my handwritten notes would show that I talked to Jack Combest, after the shooting of Oswald.

Mr. Griffin.

Would they show what Combest said?

Mr. Kantor.

Yes; I believe so.

Mr. Griffin.

Would they reflect--

Mr. Kantor.

I am not sure about the detail. It may have been just a few words.

Mr. Griffin.

I also understand that you interviewed George Senator on November 24, is that right?

Mr. Kantor.

No; I was about to mention that while we were waiting for Chief Curry to come out of his office, a man arrived just outside the third floor elevator with--I am sorry, I am really going blank on names-- with the entertainment columnist for the Dallas Morning News.

Mr. Griffin.

Is that Tony Zoppi?

Mr. Kantor.

Tony Zoppi--thank you. That is right. And then the first reaction was sort of one of amusement because Zoppi looked like an entreprenuer of a new event. And I went over. However, there was a large circle of people around George Senator, and I listened to what I could hear, and then moved back to my place which happened to be first in line outside the chief's office, and I didn't want to give that up.

Mr. Griffin.

How long did you listen to Senator?

Mr. Kantor.

Perhaps 3 or 4 minutes. But I got there right at the tail end, because a couple of plainclothes officers came out and removed Senator, and insisted that he should not be talking to the press.

Mr. Griffin.

Do you remember anybody else you interviewed on the 24th?

Mr. Kantor.

Zoppi came out with a pool report on Jack Ruby's sister, which a number of reporters listened to and took notes on.

Mr. Griffin.

So you were actually interviewing Zoppi at that point?

Mr. Kantor.

That is strictly what it amounted to. I spoke to Captain Will Fritz. I spoke to Captain Glen King. But I might add that from the moment that Oswald was shot, we were really cut off. We were getting no more news--whereas we had gotten from our standpoint marvelous cooperation before we were finding out nothing all of a sudden.

Mr. Griffin.

What did you hear Senator say in the few minutes that you did listen to him?

Mr. Kantor.

I heard George Senator say that Jack Ruby had been upset, very much upset, and had gotten up, I believe, rather late Sunday morning and said that he was going to take one of his dogs down to the club. And I heard him say that he had--that Jack Ruby had placed a call to a brother in Detroit. And I remember Senator stressing quite heavily that Ruby had spent the weekend in an upset condition, had cried, had wept quite a bit. I did ask Senator, only because I think I missed the opening parts of the mass interview going on out there in the hall--I asked him how long he had roomed with Ruby, a couple of particulars like that, I think- -just basic stuff. What he did for a living.

Mr. Griffin.

Now--
