Investigation of Communist Activities in Seattle, Wash., Area, Hearings, Part 1
United States. Congress. House. Committee on Un-American Activities
Communism -- Washington (State) -- Seattle
Mr. VELDE. It is obvious to me that we cannot get any
information whatsoever from this witness. So I have nothing further to
ask.
Mr. MOULDER. Would you answer a question concerning any
information or knowledge you may have of Communist Party or subversive
activities in which you yourself were in no way whatsoever personally
connected? If you had such knowledge and information, would you answer
the question concerning such information or knowledge?
(The witness confers with her counsel.)
Mrs. GUSTAFSON. I am sorry, Mr. Chairman, but I have to invoke
the fifth amendment, for the reasons previously given.
Mr. MOULDER. I want to make myself clear, that I am not
proposing to ask you questions concerning any matter or any fact which
would tend to incriminate you personally.
I say would you answer any question concerning any fact or information
you may have concerning subversive, communistic, or un-American
activities which you yourself were not related to, but which you have
knowledge of concerning someone else. Would you answer such a question?
(The witness confers with her counsel.)
Mrs. GUSTAFSON. I am sorry, sir, but I shall have to invoke
the fifth amendment.
Mr. MOULDER. You are excused as a witness.
The committee will stand in recess until 1:30.
(Whereupon, at 12:03 p. m., the subcommittee was recessed, to be
reconvened at 1:30 p. m., this same day. Remainder of this hearing is
printed in pt. 2 of this series.)
