(Testimony of Alwyn Cole)

Mr. Cole.
Yes; then a print would be made of that retouched negative, and this, I believe, is such a print.
Mr. Eisenberg.
There is information on this item consisting of the name "Alek James Hidell," a selective service number, and so forth. Could you draw any conclusion as to how this information had been put into the item if the card was prepared in this way?
Senator COOPER. What information, do you mean the name?
Mr. Eisenberg.
Yes; the name "Alek James Hidell," the selective service number, the date of mailing, the signature of the member or clerk of local board, color of eyes, and so forth, all of the information appearing in print or color on the card.
Mr. Cole.
That information was typed directly onto the photographic print which is Exhibit----
Mr. Eisenberg.
That is 795?
Mr. Cole.
795.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Does this item consist of one or two photographic prints, Mr. Cole?
Mr. Cole.
There are two photographic prints, one for the front and one for the back, and they are pasted together.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Is it on ordinary photographic paper?
Mr. Cole.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Is there evidence that more than one typewriter had been used in inserting the signature----
Mr. Cole.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Excuse me, the name, and some of the other information which I have referred to?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, at least two typewriters were used. This may be seen clearly by the record of the selective service number, which includes a fairly light typewriting and then a heavier typewriting.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Have you produced a photograph of Exhibit 795 or have you taken a photograph rather?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, I have.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Would you produce that?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Thank you. Was this photograph prepared by you or under your supervision?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Is it a true and accurate reproduction of 795?
Mr. Cole.
It is.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May this be admitted as 796?
Representative Ford.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 796 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
This is the front of 795, is it, Mr. Cole?
Mr. Cole.
Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Have you also taken a photograph of the rear, the reverse side?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Eisenberg.
This was prepared by you or under your supervision?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Is it a true and accurate photograph?
Mr. Cole.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Eisenberg.
May this be admitted as Exhibit 797?
Representative Ford.
It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 797 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg.
Do you have extra copies of that?
Mr. Cole.
I am sorry; I do not.
Mr. Eisenberg.
Could you hold these photographs so that the Commission can see them, and illustrate your point concerning the use of more than one typewriter?
Mr. Cole.
The selective service number shows typewriting which has a fairly light deposit of ink from the ribbon. It also shows typewriting with a somewhat
