Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Arrival in Dallas

Upon returning to Dallas, Oswald did not immediately contact his wife. He went to the employment commission to file an unemployment compensation claim and announced he was again looking for work. He spent the night at the YMCA, registering as a serviceman to avoid the membership fee. The following day, he applied for a typesetter trainee position at Padgett Printing Co., making a favorable impression on the department foreman, but the plant superintendent contacted Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall and decided not to hire him based on unfavorable responses. Oswald telephoned Marina, who refused to have Mrs. Paine pick him up, so he hitchhiked to the Paine home, where he spent part or all of the weekend. Marina testified that although he “changed for the better” after the Mexican trip and treated her better, she did not want to live with him because she was pregnant and felt it better to be with a woman who spoke English and Russian. On Monday, October 7, Mrs. Paine drove Oswald to the bus station, and he returned to Dallas to look for work and a place to live.
