Mr. O’CONNELL. Actually in 1948 the only ones outside of Mr. Silberstein, Mr. Waybur, and one or two of those people on the letterhead, if they were in town and would come to the meeting, the actual people working in the office were Mr. Stone and myself and a stenographer. Mr. TAVENNER. Did you have more than one stenographer at a time, usually? Mr. O’CONNELL. I think when the situation, as far as the legislation was concerned, was critical we may have had additional stenographers to help get out additional material. Mr. TAVENNER. Was Rose Clinton ever a member of your staff? Mr. O’CONNELL. Not to my knowledge. I don’t know anybody by the name of “Rose Clinton.” Mr. TAVENNER. The quarterly statement submitted by you for the period ended June 30, 1949, filed July 9, 1949, reveals that she was employed by your committee. Mr. O’CONNELL. If she were, I certainly don’t recollect or remember her. She was probably an ordinary stenographer. Her name means--I have no recollection, and it means nothing to me. Mr. TAVENNER. Have you any recollection of her? Mr. O’CONNELL. No; I can’t, I think--does it show she was a stenographer there? Mr. TAVENNER. Yes; shows she was paid a salary of $250 for the month of June. Mr. O’CONNELL. I can’t remember. There could have been. I remember one little girl there and the name I remember is Marjorie. I think her first name was Marjorie. I don’t know if that was in the 1948 period or the 1950. Mr. TAVENNER. Mr. Chairman, I think the record should also show that according to the testimony of Mrs. Mary Markward, Rose Clinton was known to her as a member of the Communist Party in the District of Columbia and assigned to the Northeast Club of the Communist Party in this city. In the course of her testimony Mrs. Markward said: Rose Clinton, I believe she was active in the Committee To Defeat the Mundt Bill in 1949. Mr. O’CONNELL. I wasn’t in the city of Washington in 1949 in connection with the National Committee to Defeat the Mundt Bill. Mr. TAVENNER. However, were you not chairman for the National Committee to Defeat the Mundt Bill during that period? Mr. O’CONNELL. Yes. Mr. TAVENNER. You signed quarterly reports showing who were employed and the amounts of salaries paid? Mr. O’CONNELL. I am pretty sure the reports were sent to me in Montana in 1949, and I signed them. Mr. TAVENNER. Are you acquainted with a person named Tom Buchanan? Mr. O’CONNELL. I think he did the presswork for the committee in 1950. Mr. TAVENNER. Did you employ him? Mr. O’CONNELL. No. When I came down here in 1950 he had already been employed by Mr. Waybur or Mr. Silberstein; I don’t know which. I think, wasn’t he a reporter, had been a reporter for the Washington Star? Mr. TAVENNER. Yes; he was until he was removed from that position. Did you know Tom Buchanan to be a member of the Communist Party? Mr. O’CONNELL. No; I did not.
