Mr. Tavenner. Will you tell the committee, please, who were the functionaries of the Communist Party in Seattle during those two periods.
Mr. Dennett. The first one I think we have covered, when we mention Mr. Alex Noral, Fred Walker, Jim Bourne, B-o-u-r-n-e, Mr. John Lawrie. I think that is L-a-w-r-i-e. John Lawrie, Sr.
There was a Mr. Ed Leavitt, L-e-a-v-i-t-t.
They were the leading functionaries with whom I worked at that time.
Mr. Tavenner. After you were removed as agitprop what was your next activity in the Communist Party?
Mr. Dennett. I had to become a good rank-and-file member and work in the unemployed-citizens leagues. Yes; by that time the Communists had taken over a number of the locals of the unemployed-citizens leagues in the city of Seattle, and were making a strong bid to take over the top leadership, the central UCL. And I was working in the skid-road local of the unemployed-citizens leagues, and was living in the soup line.
Mr. Tavenner. How long did that continue?
Mr. Dennett. That continued until I went into the CCC’s.
Mr. Tavenner. Can you give us the approximate date?
Mr. Dennett. I think it was in April 1934.
