Is there any announcement you wish to make on that, Mr. Tavenner?
Mr. Velde. May I inquire of Mr. Tavenner or Mr. Wheeler, was Jerry O’Connell served with a subpena?
Mr. Tavenner. Yes, sir; he was.
Mr. Moulder. For appearance here today?
Mr. Tavenner. Yes, sir.
Mr. Velde. I think it would be appropriate at this point to have the subpena and the return thereon entered in the record.
Mr. Tavenner. I would like to interrupt the course of this testimony and produce to the committee a copy of the subpena served on Mr. Jerry O’Connell, and call the committee’s attention to the return which shows that it was served at 12 minutes to 9 p. m., March 8, 1955, at his residence, 3415 Central Avenue, Great Falls, Mont., signed Harold Mady, chief of police.
I desire to offer the document in evidence and ask that it be marked as “O’Connell Exhibit No. 1,” for identification purposes only and to be made a part of the committee files.
Mr. Moulder. It is so ordered.
Mr. Tavenner. Mr. Dennett, you were asked a question by one of the members of the subcommittee with reference to your knowledge at the time you became a member of the Communist Party as to what control, if any, that a foreign power had, over the Communist Party in this country, and you explained that.
