Mr. WHEELER. You have also testified that you left the Communist Party in 1948. For what reasons did you leave the party? Mr. MILLER. As to the best of my knowledge, sir, I was dropped from the Communist Party for inactivity. Mr. WHEELER. Have you attended any other Communist Party-type meetings like the Socialist Workers Party since you left the Communist Party? Mr. MILLER. To be specific, as far as the Socialist Workers Party, I never have. And, to the best of my knowledge, I have attended no meetings of that type, sir. Mr. WHEELER. And at this time you cannot recall one individual who was a member of the Communist Party? Mr. MILLER. Well, I could put it this way: I could recall knowing Barbara Hartle. The only way I could say that she was is that she has publicly testified that she was. Mr. WHEELER. Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions at this time. However, I would like to recommend that the witness’ subpena be continued. Mr. MOULDER. All right. Do you have a question, Mr. Velde? Mr. VELDE. Yes. I believe you said you got out of the Army in 1948. Is that correct? Mr. MILLER. To the best of my knowledge, sir. Mr. VELDE. What prompted you to get out of the Communist Party when you did? Mr. MILLER. To the best of my knowledge, the party dropped me for inactivity, sir. Mr. VELDE. You never wrote a letter disavowing membership in the Communist Party then? Mr. MILLER. No, sir, I never did. Mr. VELDE. Or any other formal withdrawal from the Communist Party? Mr. MILLER. Not to my knowledge, sir. Mr. VELDE. Are you a Communist Party member today? Mr. MILLER. No, sir, I am not. And again I have to testify to the best of my knowledge. I hope and trust that no one has me on the rolls unbeknownst to me. To my knowledge, I am not a member, no, sir. Mr. VELDE. I certainly do appreciate your coming forward. It is rather refreshing. It appears to me that with a little searching of your memory you might be able to recall some of the incidents more clearly than you have. I am sorry to say you are vague in your testimony about activities of the Communist Party in this area. So I will be in favor of the recommendation of Mr. Wheeler that you be retained under subpena so that you might check. If you want any assistance from our files, I am sure Mr. Wheeler will be able to give that to you. Next time you testify you may testify a little more definitely. Mr. MOULDER. For your own benefit and for your own interest, I will ask you this question: You say, as far as you know, you are no longer a member of the Communist Party. Mr. MILLER. Yes, sir. Mr. MOULDER. That is with the fear that some organization or someone might still be carrying your name on the rolls. Mr. MILLER. It is a possibility. Mr. MOULDER. Do you publicly, and here and now before this committee, disavow any belief in the Communist Party and refute all of the principles and policies for which it stands? Do you now take that stand, and do you now so testify?
