Mrs. Gustafson. I shall have to invoke the fifth amendment, for the reasons previously given.

Mr. Tavenner. Were you at any time a member of the Victory Club of the Communist Party in Bremerton?

(The witness confers with her counsel.)

Mrs. Gustafson. I shall have to invoke, for the reasons previously given.

Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Chairman, inasmuch as the witness refuses to answer as to the period 1940-47, it is hardly necessary to ask any further questions. So that is all I have.

Mr. Moulder. Mr. Velde?

Mr. Velde. Do you intend to invoke the fifth amendment on any question we might ask you touching upon your activities as a member of the Communist Party?

(The witness confers with her counsel.)

Mrs. Gustafson. I refuse to answer the question on the grounds previously given.
