Mr. O’CONNELL. The reason I feel positive about that is I do not know Dr. DuBois, I have never met him, and I don’t know him at all, and I know I was not on any panel where he talked. I know I didn’t do that. Marc of course I knew real well, but I certainly don’t remember speaking any place with Marc. I knew him. Mr. TAVENNER. Did you speak, regardless of who accompanied you, on a program sponsored by the Freedom Crusade Congress? Mr. O’CONNELL. What date was that? Mr. TAVENNER. In January 1949. Mr. O’CONNELL. I am positive I did not. The other reason I feel sure about that is I left the State of Washington in October 1949, and I went back to Montana, and I know during that particular period I was in the State of Montana and my wife and I were living with her folks in Great Falls. I know my financial circumstances at that time were very slim and that I am sure, I am just positive that I never spoke at any such panel at that time. Mr. TAVENNER. A report is made by the Special Committee on Un-American Activities that the Daily Worker issue of June 23, 1937, page 1, carried a letter addressed by you to David Leeds, business manager of the Daily Worker, official organ of the Communist Party, in which you state: I feel that the Daily Worker is America’s outstanding daily labor paper and has done much during these past crucial labor years to bring true and accurate accounts of labor conditions throughout the entire country to the attention of the people. Did you write such a letter? Mr. O’CONNELL. Yes, I wrote such a letter. Mr. TAVENNER. Were you a subscriber to the Daily Worker? Mr. O’CONNELL. No; I don’t think--I was a Member of Congress at that time and the Daily Worker was delivered like a lot of other newspapers are to my office. My particular recollection of that--that is 1937--was that a man by the name of Paddy King was an avowed Communist in the State of Montana and is quite a familiar character around there came to my office and asked me if I would do this and I think I told him I would confine it strictly to the labor coverage of what the Daily Worker was doing, coverage on labor, on strikes, on labor’s rights, and so on. I wrote the letter at that time. Mr. SCHERER. Was what you said in 1937 true about the Daily Worker? Mr. O’CONNELL. That was written in 1937. Mr. SCHERER. 1937. It surely has changed since I became acquainted with it. I have just been reading the account of some of the hearings we had in Newark a couple of weeks ago. Mr. O’CONNELL. A lot of things have changed since 1937. Mr. SCHERER. I said if what you stated in 1937 was true about it, the paper surely has changed since my acquaintance with it.
