Thomas H. Purvis Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 John;The information which is now being posted IS NOT merely a listing of right-wing, etc; individuals and organizations. These are from the papers, documents, etc; of a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, and they represent the absolutely ONLY person who had communications with, association to and with, etc; the great majority of the individuals and/or organizations of which much is written on this forum about. And, despite what many may or may not think, herein lies most of the answers to the assassination. I would therefore highly recommend that anyone who is searching for the answers as to the WHO?, that the thoroughly check out the names and subjects which will be listed. The previous listing began with the Individual Correspondence Files, and although this will be continued, it is best to separate this from other type files which include: SUBJECT FILES ------------------------ 1. For America 1954 1955 1956 and updated Although the information on the above right-wing grouping was previously posted, it's importance and connections to New Orleans and thereafter direct connections to LHO, can not be over-emphasized. That this individual was involved with the "FOR AMERICA" from it's beginning is indicative of the close ties to New Orleans which will be further demonstrated in additional/later postings. Due to the importance of this connection, I will, once again provide the importance of the connection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: FOR AMERICA Type Entity: Non-Profit Corporation or Co-op (Non-Louisiana) Status: Not Active (Action by Secretary of State) 2006 Annual Report/Reinstatement form is required in order to reinstate Print Annual Report/Reinstatement Form For Filing Mailing Address: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Domicile Address: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Principal Office: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Principal Bus.

Shinley Archive: Maurice Gatlin and Guatemala '53 - '54 That is how the FBI version of the meeting ends. According to a CIA document dated June 26, 1953, the following also occurred: - After leaving the FBI offices, BARRIOS and GATLIN met with a Mr. DUNBAR, who occasionally represents the United Fruit Co. in New Orleans. They asked for one million dollars from the United Fruit Co., in support of BARRIOS' intended revolutionary movement in Guatemala, but they were unsuccessful in obtaining any commitment. On June 25, 1953, the FBI was contacted by a retired Army officer, whose name has been withheld for privacy reasons (referred to here as P-1). P-1 said that Gatlin had approached him with a shopping list of armaments which included three P-38 fighters and three P-51 fighters, along with ammunition. Gatlin said he was acting on behalf of an unnamed Colonel (undoubtedly, Barrios y Pena) who was planning an anti-Communist revolution in Guatemala. Gatlin asked P-1 if he knew General Claire Chennault. P-1 replied that he did, and concluded that Gatlin assumed that P-1 could obtain the weapons through Chennault. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under the Individual Correspondence, Claire Chennault's name was previously listed, along with William D. Pawley. Eventually, I will get to the information which makes the complete connection of these persons. However, before we leave New Orleans, may as well include: 2.

Thomas H. Purvis Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 To date, only one person with the "common" ground has been found.Prior to listing the name, which will ultimately become obvious, it would be perhaps best to list some of this common ground. The listing represents the exact item/person/etc; which was found within the person's possessions. Some discussions will follow each item as listed. Correspondence Series --------------------------- 1. William Douglas Pawley 1954 William Douglas Pawley should require no introduction to anyone who has followed the political and economic history of Cuba; Haiti; South America; China; India; and so on. And specifically the association of Pawley to various anti-Castro elements in which Gerry Hemming played some roles. However, for the sake of those who have only recently come aboard, a few new developments which were made known only on this forum may be in order. a. The John Birch Society is named after a reported missionary who served in China at the time that William D. Pawley and the Flying Tigers/Claire Chennault were operational. Birch was in fact working for OSS elements and was captured and executed. William D. Pawley's wife, Annie Hahr Dobbs, was a direct line cousin to John Birch. b. The William D. Pawley family initially gained their wealth through operation of a "Commissary" type store just outside the Guantanamo, Cuba Naval Base, and thereafter moving this operation to Haiti after the US Marine Corps occupied Haiti. At the time when the Pawley family was operating in Haiti, many of those with whom they had to deal with came from the Mississippi & Louisiana costal area. This, once understood, is explainable in that the US Minister (Ambassador) to Haiti at the time was from New Orleans, LA. Thus, the Pawley family operation would have been directly involved with someone from the New Orleans, La area in the early 1900's when their business was in full force in Haiti. c. 1954 is of course the point in time during which William D. Pawley became engaged in the Guatemala episode of/for United Fruit. d. As posted under the Pawley topic heading, William D. Pawley was heavily involved with Convair, therefore one may as well post here (repeat) that Robert Oswald was employed by Convair at the time that LHO decided to leave for the Soviet Union. 2. Samuel Zemurray 1939-45 Samuel Zemurray of New Orleans, LA is of course the "force" behind the United Fruit Company. Those who may not have taken the time to read up on Zemurray and his wealth; power; and position within New Orleans and the extension of this power through the United Fruit Company to Cuba; Guatemala; and other South and Central American countries, should do so in order to attemp to gain some understanding of exactly who and what United Fruit represented throughout Latin America. That 6-years of correspondence existed, demonstrates the extremely close connections to United Fruit as well as to New Orleans, LA and the wealth and power which eminated from this city. 3. Fidel Castro 1959 Not much to say here with the exception to remind that Fidel Castro was in fact the son of a relatively wealthy (by Cuban standards) United Fruit Company foreman/supervisor. 4. Claire L. Chennault 1945 Most of the Chennault ties have been previously posted on this forum. They include the direct association of Claire Chennault with William D. Pawley and the Flying Tigers; Chennault's family background association to Louisiana; as well as the Shinley work which revealed that Chennault was among those who was to be contacted in an attempt to obtain aircraft for the 1954 Guatemala episode in which Pawley was heavily engaged. 5. Averill Harriman 1938 6. H. L. Hunt 1951-60 H. L. Hunt 1951 Proposal to start a FACTS FORUM 7. Joseph P. Kennedy 1939-41 8. John F. Kennedy 1957 9. Robert Welch 1958-66 10. Edwin Walker 1961-63 11. Dan Smoot 1955-61 12. Mr. & Mrs. Joseph R. McCarthy 1950-55 1956-57* *A strong supporter of Joseph McCarthy during the 1950's. 13. Harry A. Jung 1946-52 http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/1920sp4.html Another group from the 1920s that underwent the transformation from a nativist group to fascism was Harry Jung's American Vigilant Intelligence Federation.67 http://www.ctka.net/pr399-fdr.html These groups also acted as intelligence networks. They infiltrated unions, leftwing groups, and universities, and they sold their information to industry. One example of such an intelligence agency was the American Vigilant Intelligence Federation, headquartered in Chicago and operated by Harry Jung.24 Jung later relocated to New Orleans where he was an associate of Guy Bannister, who also hailed from Chicago.* (Note: The source of this claim that Jung was in New Orleans is unknown and unverified) 14. John T. Flynn 1941-55 http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2000/01-...6no03_flynn.htm Flynn and several other "noninterventionists," a term they always preferred to "isolationists," gathered in mid-1938 to form the Keep America Out of War Committee (KAOWC) with Flynn as its national chairman In August 1940, Flynn and retired Army General Robert Wood, the head of Sears, Roebuck and Company, gathered with several others to form the non-interventionist America First Committee (AFC). Differing markedly from KAOWC’s intellectual approach and its distance from the people, AFC was to be a mass movement formed to unite large numbers of citizens around the issue of keeping the nation out of war. Almost immediately, chapters were established all over America. In time, AFC grew to include 800,000 members. 15.

Theodore Roosevelt called him a "skunk who should be hanged" when he opposed the arming of American merchant ships; one of his colleagues in the Senate said he was "a better German than the head of the German parliament" when he opposed the Wilson Administration's request for a declaration of war in 1917. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAlafollette.htm 22.

Thomas H. Purvis Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 John;The information which is now being posted IS NOT merely a listing of right-wing, etc; individuals and organizations. These are from the papers, documents, etc; of a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, and they represent the absolutely ONLY person who had communications with, association to and with, etc; the great majority of the individuals and/or organizations of which much is written on this forum about. And, despite what many may or may not think, herein lies most of the answers to the assassination. I would therefore highly recommend that anyone who is searching for the answers as to the WHO?, that the thoroughly check out the names and subjects which will be listed. The previous listing began with the Individual Correspondence Files, and although this will be continued, it is best to separate this from other type files which include: SUBJECT FILES ------------------------ 1. For America 1954 1955 1956 and updated Although the information on the above right-wing grouping was previously posted, it's importance and connections to New Orleans and thereafter direct connections to LHO, can not be over-emphasized. That this individual was involved with the "FOR AMERICA" from it's beginning is indicative of the close ties to New Orleans which will be further demonstrated in additional/later postings. Due to the importance of this connection, I will, once again provide the importance of the connection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: FOR AMERICA Type Entity: Non-Profit Corporation or Co-op (Non-Louisiana) Status: Not Active (Action by Secretary of State) 2006 Annual Report/Reinstatement form is required in order to reinstate Print Annual Report/Reinstatement Form For Filing Mailing Address: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Domicile Address: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Principal Office: 208 S LASALLE ST, CHICAGO, IL 60604 Principal Bus.

Shinley Archive: Maurice Gatlin and Guatemala '53 - '54 That is how the FBI version of the meeting ends. According to a CIA document dated June 26, 1953, the following also occurred: - After leaving the FBI offices, BARRIOS and GATLIN met with a Mr. DUNBAR, who occasionally represents the United Fruit Co. in New Orleans. They asked for one million dollars from the United Fruit Co., in support of BARRIOS' intended revolutionary movement in Guatemala, but they were unsuccessful in obtaining any commitment. On June 25, 1953, the FBI was contacted by a retired Army officer, whose name has been withheld for privacy reasons (referred to here as P-1). P-1 said that Gatlin had approached him with a shopping list of armaments which included three P-38 fighters and three P-51 fighters, along with ammunition. Gatlin said he was acting on behalf of an unnamed Colonel (undoubtedly, Barrios y Pena) who was planning an anti-Communist revolution in Guatemala. Gatlin asked P-1 if he knew General Claire Chennault. P-1 replied that he did, and concluded that Gatlin assumed that P-1 could obtain the weapons through Chennault. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Under the Individual Correspondence, Claire Chennault's name was previously listed, along with William D.

Thomas H. Purvis Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Although certainly not completed with the direct "personal" associations of this individual, perhaps now would be a good time to begin his "Professionial" associations: 1. Member of the Board of the "Cradle Society". http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/347.html http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~adoption/arch...roottoERltr.htm The Cradle places adoption on a commercial basis and accepts payment from foster parents who have received a child for adoption from The Cradle. The payments are substantial in amount. Only last week I talked with a professional person in another State who said that he and his wife desired to adopt a child but could not afford the price charged by The Cradle. I was also told last week that a New Jersey family had paid $1000 for a child. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Oaks/3847/blackmar.html In Chicago several wealthy businessmen donated the money that permitted Mrs Florence Dahl Walruth to purchase the residence that became The Cradle Society. A 1917 study, commissioned by Chicago's Juvenile Protective Association, investigated adoptions and confirmed the worst fears of Progressive reformers. It was found that there was "a regular commercialized business of child placing being carried on in the city of Chicago; that there were many maternity hospital's which made regular charges. . . for disposing of unwelcome children; and that there were also doctors and other individual's who took advantage of the unmarried mother willing to pay any amount of money to dispose of the child. No name, address, or reference was required to secure the custody of a child from these people." Notorious adoption mills like The Cradle Society of Illinois, The Willows of Kansas, and the Veil maternity Home of West Virginia accepted payment from the adoptive parents upon receipt of a child, ignored commonly accepted social work practices and provided inadequate safeguards for everyone directly involved in the adoption. The Cradle Society, for example, shunned the primary tool of professional social workers, individualized casework. It accepted without queston the decision of the unwed mother to relinquish and made no effort to ascertain the decision was appropriate for the circumstances. It did not investigate prospective adoptive parents or make a study of the child's development, refused to inform the adoptive parents of the child's family history and made no provision for a probationary period after placement to supervise the child. This activity is one that occurred all over America and in Canada. Some of the more well-known baby-mills or places where black market adoptions occurred are listed below and where found more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas H. Purvis Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 To date, only one person with the "common" ground has been found.Prior to listing the name, which will ultimately become obvious, it would be perhaps best to list some of this common ground. The listing represents the exact item/person/etc; which was found within the person's possessions. Some discussions will follow each item as listed. Correspondence Series --------------------------- 1. William Douglas Pawley 1954 William Douglas Pawley should require no introduction to anyone who has followed the political and economic history of Cuba; Haiti; South America; China; India; and so on. And specifically the association of Pawley to various anti-Castro elements in which Gerry Hemming played some roles. However, for the sake of those who have only recently come aboard, a few new developments which were made known only on this forum may be in order. a. The John Birch Society is named after a reported missionary who served in China at the time that William D. Pawley and the Flying Tigers/Claire Chennault were operational. Birch was in fact working for OSS elements and was captured and executed. William D. Pawley's wife, Annie Hahr Dobbs, was a direct line cousin to John Birch. b. The William D. Pawley family initially gained their wealth through operation of a "Commissary" type store just outside the Guantanamo, Cuba Naval Base, and thereafter moving this operation to Haiti after the US Marine Corps occupied Haiti. At the time when the Pawley family was operating in Haiti, many of those with whom they had to deal with came from the Mississippi & Louisiana costal area. This, once understood, is explainable in that the US Minister (Ambassador) to Haiti at the time was from New Orleans, LA. Thus, the Pawley family operation would have been directly involved with someone from the New Orleans, La area in the early 1900's when their business was in full force in Haiti. c. 1954 is of course the point in time during which William D. Pawley became engaged in the Guatemala episode of/for United Fruit. d. As posted under the Pawley topic heading, William D. Pawley was heavily involved with Convair, therefore one may as well post here (repeat) that Robert Oswald was employed by Convair at the time that LHO decided to leave for the Soviet Union. 2. Samuel Zemurray 1939-45 Samuel Zemurray of New Orleans, LA is of course the "force" behind the United Fruit Company. Those who may not have taken the time to read up on Zemurray and his wealth; power; and position within New Orleans and the extension of this power through the United Fruit Company to Cuba; Guatemala; and other South and Central American countries, should do so in order to attemp to gain some understanding of exactly who and what United Fruit represented throughout Latin America. That 6-years of correspondence existed, demonstrates the extremely close connections to United Fruit as well as to New Orleans, LA and the wealth and power which eminated from this city. 3. Fidel Castro 1959 Not much to say here with the exception to remind that Fidel Castro was in fact the son of a relatively wealthy (by Cuban standards) United Fruit Company foreman/supervisor. 4. Claire L. Chennault 1945 Most of the Chennault ties have been previously posted on this forum. They include the direct association of Claire Chennault with William D. Pawley and the Flying Tigers; Chennault's family background association to Louisiana; as well as the Shinley work which revealed that Chennault was among those who was to be contacted in an attempt to obtain aircraft for the 1954 Guatemala episode in which Pawley was heavily engaged. 5. Averill Harriman 1938 6. H. L. Hunt 1951-60 H. L. Hunt 1951 Proposal to start a FACTS FORUM 7. Joseph P. Kennedy 1939-41 8. John F. Kennedy 1957 9. Robert Welch 1958-66 10. Edwin Walker 1961-63 11. Dan Smoot 1955-61 12. Mr. & Mrs. Joseph R. McCarthy 1950-55 1956-57* *A strong supporter of Joseph McCarthy during the 1950's. 13. Harry A. Jung 1946-52 http://www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/1920sp4.html Another group from the 1920s that underwent the transformation from a nativist group to fascism was Harry Jung's American Vigilant Intelligence Federation.67 http://www.ctka.net/pr399-fdr.html These groups also acted as intelligence networks. They infiltrated unions, leftwing groups, and universities, and they sold their information to industry. One example of such an intelligence agency was the American Vigilant Intelligence Federation, headquartered in Chicago and operated by Harry Jung.24 Jung later relocated to New Orleans where he was an associate of Guy Bannister, who also hailed from Chicago.* (Note: The source of this claim that Jung was in New Orleans is unknown and unverified) 14. John T. Flynn 1941-55 http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2000/01-...6no03_flynn.htm Flynn and several other "noninterventionists," a term they always preferred to "isolationists," gathered in mid-1938 to form the Keep America Out of War Committee (KAOWC) with Flynn as its national chairman In August 1940, Flynn and retired Army General Robert Wood, the head of Sears, Roebuck and Company, gathered with several others to form the non-interventionist America First Committee (AFC). Differing markedly from KAOWC’s intellectual approach and its distance from the people, AFC was to be a mass movement formed to unite large numbers of citizens around the issue of keeping the nation out of war. Almost immediately, chapters were established all over America. In time, AFC grew to include 800,000 members. 15.

Lindbergh 1940/1941/1942-44/1945-49/1950-54/1960-63 17. Robert R. McCormick 1933-42/1943-44/1945-50/1951-52/1953-54 Politically McCormick was a leading Progressive during the Progressive Era, but he turned against the New Deal and as a conservative was an America First isolationist who strongly opposed entering World War II to rescue the the British Empire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_R._McCormick 18.

Charles G. Dawes 1945; 1949 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_G._Dawes However, he was forced to resign because the board of the City National Bank and Trust Co., Chicago, of which he was a board member, was going under and he had to save it. This marked the end of his career in public service. Dawes resumed a role in the banking business, becoming chairman of the board of the City National Bank and Trust Co. from 1932 until his death http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/l.../dawes-bio.html In 1902, turning over to his brothers the management of the utilities, he entered the third phase of his business career, that of banking. He founded and became president of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, often referred to as the «Dawes Bank», and spent virtually full time in its management until 1917.

Wood) continued: 27. William S. Farish, Jr. 1941 28. William S. Farish, III 1966 http://www.ecommcode2.com/hoover/research/.../other/wood.htm The Papers of General Robert E. Wood The only person with "common ground" to virtually all aspects of the JFK Assassination. 1. Wealth 2. Power 3. Right-Wing Association 4. Southern/Confederacy heritage in family. 5. Numerous associations throughout New Orleans, LA, to include United Fruit/Trade Mart/Phelps, Dunbar, Claverie/ 6. Direct associations to William D. Pawley through United Fruit as well as through ATLAS Corporation 7. Direct Connections to Standard Oil through the "Farish" family line. Multitudes of other direct connections which can be followed up merely through the limited documents of the papers which were left behind and the connections of who was who. In event one fully follows General Wood's career, they will find that he would have come into contact with Pawley as well as Chennault as a result of his working for General Hap Arnold as an advisor to the Air Corps in the field of supply. Which would have lead directly to contact with the Flying Tigers; Pawley; & Chennault. In addition to those Right-Wing groups already mentioned, General Wood was active with other elements which included "American Action 1946-1948); "Americans for Constitutional Action 1958-1961). General Wood had begun his career as the Quartermaster/Supply Officer for construction of the Panama Canal, and was thus in charge of Commisary supplies which would have come through Cuba. It must therefore be assumed that at some point in time, he would have come into contact with E.P.Pawley (father of William D. Pawley) who was running the Commisary Store at Guantamano, Cuba. Thereafter, General Wood was employed by the Dupont Corporation, maker of powder for virtually all Military Weapons, and then went to work for General Asphalt Corporation which was highly involved in Venezuela through their subsidary "The Bermudez Company". As head of Sears & Roebuck when expansion into South & Central America came about, General Wood was primarly responsible for this expansion. Had South & Central America been allowed to go the way of Cuba, Sears & Roebuck, as well as the Robert E. Wood family and Goldman Sachs, would have suffered some considerable losses. Within the papers of General Robert E. Wood lie the forces which dictated control of countries, through control of their financial state, and which forces would have been dedicated to eliminate Fidel Castro through any means. For whatever reason, what these persons began, ended in the shooting death of JFK, to an extremely high degree of probability by LHO ALONE.

There is a thread on Meyer here - http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...l=Charles+Meyer FWIW. This clipping below comes from 1969. James Hope this "circular" explanation has been of some assistance. In order to understand the history of an event, one must understand the history which lead to the event. The associations of General Wood to New Orleans, LA is an ABSOLUTE, just as is the connections to the FOR AMERICA committee which was formed by Dunbar & Claverie. Dunbar's association to United Fruit is also an ABSOLUTE, as is the history of the group to the Marguerite Claverie/LHO family. Herein lies the road to understanding exactly who was behind the actions of LHO as well as who had the power and position to manipulate individuals for whatever reason. And, if one ceases to waste time chasing mythological multiple assassins, in this internet age, the final connections just may be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood) continued: 27. William S. Farish, Jr. 1941 28. William S. Farish, III 1966 http://www.ecommcode2.com/hoover/research/.../other/wood.htm The Papers of General Robert E. Wood The only person with "common ground" to virtually all aspects of the JFK Assassination. 1. Wealth 2. Power 3. Right-Wing Association 4. Southern/Confederacy heritage in family. 5. Numerous associations throughout New Orleans, LA, to include United Fruit/Trade Mart/Phelps, Dunbar, Claverie/ 6. Direct associations to William D. Pawley through United Fruit as well as through ATLAS Corporation 7. Direct Connections to Standard Oil through the "Farish" family line. Multitudes of other direct connections which can be followed up merely through the limited documents of the papers which were left behind and the connections of who was who. In event one fully follows General Wood's career, they will find that he would have come into contact with Pawley as well as Chennault as a result of his working for General Hap Arnold as an advisor to the Air Corps in the field of supply. Which would have lead directly to contact with the Flying Tigers; Pawley; & Chennault. In addition to those Right-Wing groups already mentioned, General Wood was active with other elements which included "American Action 1946-1948); "Americans for Constitutional Action 1958-1961). General Wood had begun his career as the Quartermaster/Supply Officer for construction of the Panama Canal, and was thus in charge of Commisary supplies which would have come through Cuba. It must therefore be assumed that at some point in time, he would have come into contact with E.P.Pawley (father of William D. Pawley) who was running the Commisary Store at Guantamano, Cuba. Thereafter, General Wood was employed by the Dupont Corporation, maker of powder for virtually all Military Weapons, and then went to work for General Asphalt Corporation which was highly involved in Venezuela through their subsidary "The Bermudez Company". As head of Sears & Roebuck when expansion into South & Central America came about, General Wood was primarly responsible for this expansion. Had South & Central America been allowed to go the way of Cuba, Sears & Roebuck, as well as the Robert E. Wood family and Goldman Sachs, would have suffered some considerable losses. Within the papers of General Robert E. Wood lie the forces which dictated control of countries, through control of their financial state, and which forces would have been dedicated to eliminate Fidel Castro through any means. For whatever reason, what these persons began, ended in the shooting death of JFK, to an extremely high degree of probability by LHO ALONE.

Now, we have you up to the advent of World War II, which was-- this is about 1941. Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. But before that I was in Texas and worked for Humble Oil Co. Mr. JENNER. Before 1941 you had gone to Texas? Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; in 1939. Mr. JENNER. You went to Texas in 1939? Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. And how did that come about? Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, I was interested in the oil industry and wanted to see in which way I could fit into the oil industry. Mr. JENNER. Whom did you contact? How did you get there? Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, I went by bus--to Texas by bus. But what actually helped me was that my sister-in-law, my wife's sister, had a very, very close friend in Louisiana, Mrs. Margaret Clark--Margaret Clark Williams, who had large oil properties, large estates in Louisiana. That is about the year 1939. I got to Louisiana, as the guest, I remember--with my sister-in-law's aunt, Mrs. Edwards. And then I looked the situation around in New Orleans and decided to apply for a job with Humble Oil Co. Mr. JENNER. In New Orleans? Mr. De MOHRENSCHILDT. No. They had a branch office in New Orleans, but I had to apply for a job in Houston. So I went to Houston, and I applied for a job with Mr. Suman, who is vice president of Humble Oil Co. Also I met the chairman of the board of the Humble Oil Co. through mutual acquaintances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
