Mr. MOULDER. The witness is excused. Mr. TAVENNER. I am not sure that he is through. Mr. COHEN. I am ready to quit talking at any time. Mr. TAVENNER. This is your time to talk if you want to. Mr. COHEN. After the war I felt that we were in a--we were extending the neighborhood branches, and that the trade union, the time for trade union action was past. We didn’t function in trade union matters. My working hours were changed, and I no longer was--I rarely attended meetings. I really lost what contact I had. And the act that finally culminated in my leaving was the fact that I wanted to take a trip abroad, and under one of the provisions of the McCarran Act it required that no Communist should be granted a passport. And so I wanted to visit scenes of where I had been during the war, and I explained to the party that I wanted to leave. And it startled them, I admit, reasonably. But I succeeded in resigning. And there have been no repercussions since. Mr. VELDE. Do I understand you have been, and are willing at any time to make available any information you have relative to your activities in the Communist Party? Mr. COHEN. Yes, I am. I will say--before anybody even talks to me--there weren’t very many. There were very few; there weren’t very many. Mr. VELDE. But are you willing to make those available to us? Mr. COHEN. Yes. Mr. VELDE. And, of course, we would be willing to hear you at length if we had the opportunity to do so. Mr. TAVENNER. In light of the witness’ statements, I have no further questions. Mr. MOULDER. Do you have any further statement you wish to make, Mr. Witness? Mr. COHEN. Nothing further to say. Mr. MOULDER. Then you are excused as a witness. (Whereupon the witness was excused.) Mr. TAVENNER. May I call Mr. Dennett to the front of the rostrum for a moment? TESTIMONY OF EUGENE VICTOR DENNETT, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS COUNSEL, KENNETH A. MacDONALD--Resumed Mr. MOULDER. Mr. Dennett. Mr. DENNETT. Yes, sir. Mr. MOULDER. It has been my suggestion, after conferring with counsel, that probably it would be best that we revoke and withdraw our order excusing you from the force and effect of your subpena, and keep you under subpena. Mr. DENNETT. I still have it. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Chairman, I believe there may be a legal technicality involved, and I ask that the witness be resubpenaed. So there will be no question about it. Mr. MOULDER. It is so ordered. Mr. TAVENNER. That is a matter of protection to the witness. Mr. VELDE. I think we ought to make this additional statement, that the reason for resubpenaing you is so that you might be within the protection of the United States Government in case anything arises as apparently happened out here a few minutes ago. Mr. MOULDER. That is our only purpose in issuing another subpena. Mr. DENNETT. Thank you. Mr. MOULDER. Call the next witness. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Bernard Freyd. Mr. HATTEN. May I request the Chair to ask the photographers not to take pictures?
