Mr. O’CONNELL. I think it was either listed earlier or later but it had been attacked by some of the labor organizations long before it was listed, it had been attacked by some, particularly I think the Central Labor Council in Seattle, and had been attacked by other groups out there. Mr. VELDE. Your suspicion that it was a Communist organization was not the reason you didn’t teach the course? Mr. O’CONNELL. I wouldn’t want to say now that is it. I know at the time when he called me about it I objected to the word ideological. I remember that expressly and I objected to the fact that I was qualified in no way to talk about labor’s role in 1948. I was not a member of a trade union, I had not been involved in labor organization or anything of the kind. I know I didn’t teach there and I didn’t---- Mr. TAVENNER. What was the meaning of “coordinator” after your name? Mr. O’CONNELL. I don’t know. Maybe if you let me look at it--I don’t know what it means. Mr. TAVENNER. Did Mr. Daschbach discuss the title of coordinator with you? Mr. O’CONNELL. No; he certainly did not. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Chairman, I think the record should show at this time the Communist affiliation of other teachers in this school--Theodore Raymond Astley. Mr. O’CONNELL. While you are doing that I wonder if I could say this. When I spoke up and said I knew Mr. Daschbach was a Smith Act defendant there was some remonstrance from over here where the press is located and I wanted to point out I left the State of Washington in 1949 and Mr. Daschbach did not become a Smith Act defendant, if I remember correctly, until 1954. Mr. VELDE. I think that commotion was because they didn’t know how to spell his name. Mr. TAVENNER. The spelling is D-a-s-c-h-b-a-c-h. Mr. O’CONNELL. I thought maybe I had left something unexplained. Mr. TAVENNER. Ted Astley was slated to conduct course No. 245, psychology in the social science. He appeared as a witness before the committee and refused to testify, relying on the fifth amendment as to past and present Communist Party membership. He was identified as a member of the Communist Party by Barbara Hartle. Ruth Bitterman was slated to conduct a course in children’s workshop. She refused to testify as a witness before the committee but was identified by Barbara Hartle as a member of the Communist Party. Jean Danielson was shown by testimony in our hearings in Seattle to be the same person as Margaret Jean Schuddakoph, and was advertised to conduct course No. 300, as special workshop in reading and writing. She refused to testify before the committee and was identified as a Communist Party member by Barbara Hartle. Marjorie Daschbach was advertised to conduct course No. 304 and was identified by Barbara Hartle as a member of the Communist Party. John Davis was advertised to conduct a course on workshop in the graphic arts and was identified before this committee as having been a member of the Communist Party by Barbara Hartle.
