Mr. TAVENNER. Do you mean by that you are identifying his father as a
member of the Communist Party?
Mr. DENNETT. Yes; both of them were members of the Communist Party
at that time. Mr. Dan Adair, the last I heard of him, was bitterly
anti-Communist and has left the State.
Mr. TAVENNER. I would like to remind you, wherever it is known to you
that a person being identified has left the Communist Party, that it is
only the fair thing to say so.
Mr. DENNETT. True.
I believe, sir, that covers all the names that I have not covered
before.
Mr. MOULDER. We will stand in recess for 5 minutes.
(Whereupon, a short recess was taken.)
Mr. MOULDER. The committee will please come to order.
Proceed with the witness, please, Mr. Tavenner.
Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Dennett, at the time you were a member of the CIO
Council what union was it that you were representing?
Mr. DENNETT. I was from the Inlandboatmen’s Union at that time.
Mr. TAVENNER. I believe you have given us the names of those in that
union who were known to you to be members of the Communist Party?
