Investigation of Communist activities in Seattle, Wash., Area, Hearings, Part 2

by United States. Congress. House. Committee on Un-American Activities

STATEMENT OF C. T. HATTEN, ATTORNEY AT LAW, SEATTLE, WASH.

Mr. Hatten. I notice that on a number of witnesses the subpenas have been continued, and I would like to formally move that the subpena in case of Jerry O’Connell be continued to some later date at which time his health might be better.

Mr. Moulder. The committee cannot entertain your motion.

Mr. Hatten. I merely would like to make it for the record.

Mr. Moulder. You have made the request on the record.

Mr. Hatten. To state the position, I understand that possibly you cannot pass upon it.

Mr. Moulder. Call the next witness.

Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Lenus Westman.

Mr. Moulder. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony which you are about to give before this congressional committee will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you, God?

Mr. Westman. I do.
