They didn't "hide" it completely, since page one is available in
Commission Document 86 and was published by David Scheim
in 1983. Page one says that the witness, William Abadie, stated that Ruby ran
a gambling establishment in which Abadie had worked for 7 weeks as a
"slot machine and jukebox mechanic" and, briefly, as a bookie.
The pages that *were* printed in CE 1750 also say that Ruby was running a
gambling establishment, along with other comments, such as, "it was obvious that
to operate gambling in the manner that he [Ruby] did, that he must
have racketeering connections..." So why "suppress" only page one?
Doesn't make sense if the purpose was to conceal the information on Ruby.
Possibly page one wasn't published because it contained potentially incriminating
info about Abadie, such as the fact that he said that he'd "jumped bond" on a
DWI charge in Dallas and thought that the FBI agents doing the interview had
come to arrest him.
For anyone interested, here's CE 1750, starting with page 2:
