There were a couple of women who were certainly the most reliable people for us in the sense that--remember we were in difficult times, and eating was a difficult problem. And both of these women did work outside, and they had a loyalty to their neighbors and friends. Bellingham, you have to understand, is a comparatively small town. People in it live much closer together than they do in a larger city. Neighbors are a little better acquainted with each other. Consequently, any suffering in the neighborhood arouses a deeper response among people who are better acquainted than it does among total strangers. And these women extended themselves greatly to aid those of us who didn’t have any adequate income or any adequate subsistence. I understand that both of these women have since left the Communist Party. Do you want me to name them now? Mr. TAVENNER. Was that in 1932? Mr. DENNETT. Yes; it was. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Chairman, I suggest we take that testimony an executive session, if he is convinced that they have left the party. Mr. MOULDER. I suggest that you withhold the names and not announce them; this information will be given to the committee in executive session. Mr. DENNETT. That answers all about the persons who were there at the time of my arrival. Before I left the following persons were developed into leadership---- Mr. TAVENNER. Before telling us about that, have you given us the names of all others in the Communist Party group who were there when you arrived? Mr. DENNETT. Yes; all of those whom I have named were officers. They held functioning positions. Mr. TAVENNER. Will you proceed, then, with a description of the identity of those who were developed into leadership after you arrived. Mr. DENNETT. I should preface that by remarking that upon my arrival in Bellingham the Ku Klux Klan was very active in Whatcom County. It was a practice for them at that time to burn the fiery cross frequently in various places of the county. And I was informed that they had a very considerable membership in the county. I learned that some of those Klansmen were quite disillusioned with the activities of the Klan. I made a practice of trying to contact various persons whom I learned had been disillusioned by their activities in the Klan. And I have been trying my level best to think of the name of a particular man who was an officer in the Klan whom I did succeed in recruiting into the Communist Party. But I have been unable to remember that man’s name. I can only give this description, that he was in the Sumas area and that he was a sheet-metal worker. And that is the best that I can recall about him. It is quite possible that if some of the other persons I mention, if they were asked, they probably would remember him because he was a neighbor of theirs.
