Mr. TAVENNER. The committee had before it at Albany, N. Y., in July 1953, a Canadian by the name of Patrick Walsh who was connected with that organization in the western part of Canada during one period of time and who later became very prominent in the Canadian seamen’s union strike in 1949. Did you become acquainted with Patrick Walsh? Mr. DENNETT. No; I never knew him. Mr. MOULDER. The committee will stand recessed for 5 minutes. (Whereupon, a short recess was taken.) Mr. MOULDER. The committee will be in order. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Dennett, you were giving us the names of persons known to you to be members of the Communist Party within the field of labor at the time that you were a member of the CIO council. Mr. DENNETT. Yes. Mr. TAVENNER. Will you proceed, please? Mr. DENNETT. Well, of course, I think I mentioned Mr. Hugh DeLacy before. He was from the teachers union. And, of course, there was one of his associates, a man by the name of Harold Eby. They were the only ones that I knew directly in the Communist Party, in the teachers union, from the university. There was another person by the name of Victor Hicks who was quite well known to me who was in the other teachers union. There were two teachers’ unions, locals here. One applied to the public schools, and one applied to the university. Victor Hicks was in the one that applied to the public schools, although I don’t believe he was a public-school teacher himself. But he had taught in one of those Government assistance programs. I forget which one it was. There was some kind of an educational program that was conducted in the depression days that Mr. Hicks was associated with, and he was the principal one. In fact, he was responsible for nominating me to the position of secretary of the council in the first CIO council in Seattle. Of course, I knew Mr. Jess Fletcher in the Building Service Employees International Union, which was an A. F. of L. union, not one of the CIO unions. In the Longshoremen’s Union[6] I knew Mr. Burt Nelson, B-u-r-t N-e-l-s-o-n. I knew these people as members of the Communist Party, and they were the leaders with whom I dealt most frequently in dealing with union affairs and with party affairs. Mr. MOULDER. When naming a person, if possible, identify him in some way so he will not be confused with any person who may have a similar name. Mr. DENNETT. Burt was a longshoreman. He worked as a longshoreman on the Seattle waterfront. George Bailey was a longshoreman known to me first in Raymond, Wash. Later I knew him on the Seattle waterfront. Mr. TAVENNER. How does he spell his name? Mr. DENNETT. I believe it was B-a-i-l-e-y.
