Mr. Tavenner. How have you been employed since 1940?
(The witness confers with her counsel.)
Mrs. Gustafson. In 1941 I taught kindergarten. Right after Pearl Harbor I went into the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. And when I left there I organized and supervised the war emergency nursery schools in Bremerton, the after-school-care program for the children of working mothers. Then I worked for the Kitsap County Welfare Department.
Mr. Tavenner. When was that, please? Approximately.
Mrs. Gustafson. My first child was born in 1945. So it was the year of 1945, maybe the latter part of 1944. I don’t recall exactly.
Then in the fall of 1947 I went back to teaching in the Bremerton public schools, and have been there ever since.
Mr. Tavenner. Mrs. Gustafson, do you have any knowledge of the operation of the Northwest Labor School in Seattle?
(The witness confers with her counsel.)
Mrs. Gustafson. I shall have to avail myself of the privilege granted me by the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States, which protects me from giving testimony which might incriminate me.
Mr. Moulder. The question asked was: Do you possess any information or knowledge concerning the school referred to by counsel?
