Anyone working with the FBI or with any of the above-named
antilabor committees or against the best interests of the union
must clearly be labeled an enemy of labor and removed from
membership in any labor organization to which he may belong.
Therefore, in pursuance of the procedure established by Section
I, ARTICLE XV, which states that any elective or appointive
officers of a local union may be removed from office subject to
provisions of this Article for any violation of this Constitution
“or because of the commission of an act impairing the usefulness of
the organization,” we are presenting these charges, and demanding
the expulsion of Harriette Dennett from UOPWA 35. We call upon
our Union to immediately set up a trial committee to investigate
these charges and report back its findings to a special membership
meeting to be called for action by the membership.

Mr. TAVENNER. And I would like also to introduce in evidence at this
time the expulsion notice that was given you, and ask that it be marked
“Dennett Exhibit No. 11.”
Mr. MOULDER. As requested by counsel, without objection, it is so
ordered.
(The document above referred to, marked “Dennett Exhibit No. 11,” is
filed herewith).
DENNETT EXHIBIT No. 11
NOTICE OF EXPULSION
To All Sections, Clubs, and Members of the
Northwest District Communist Party, U. S. A.:
This is to notify all Sections and Clubs of the expulsion from the
Communist Party of Eugene V. Dennett, Harriet Dennett, and Claude
Smith.
In the case of Eugene Dennett and Harriet Dennett, the expulsion
is based upon violation of the conditions of membership in the
Communist Party as set forth in Article 9, Sections 1, 2, and 4 of
the Constitution of the Communist Party, U. S. A., based upon the
following facts established by the District Review Commission:
1. Admitted employment of Harriet Dennett by an agency of the F.
B. I. and the submitting of regular reports to said agency over a
long period of time, with the knowledge and consent, and direct
participation of Eugene V. Dennett. This was established by his
admission of personal contact with a known agent of the F. B. I.
and his concealment from the Party of Harriet Dennett’s activities
and his own personal contact with the F. B. I.
2. Admitted personal and political relations by Eugene V. Dennett
with known Trotskyites with established participation by Harriet
Dennett.
3. An established record of anti-party, disruptive, and provocative
activity by Eugene Dennett on numerous occasions and by Harriet
Dennett in several instances.
