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

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

What difference was there between the meetings you attended in Washington and those you attended in Los Angeles?

Mr. Stenhouse. Well, I suppose one difference would be that in Washington, D. C., to the best of my knowledge, all the people present were members of the union.

Mr. Moulder. Were they also all employees in the Department of Commerce?

Mr. Stenhouse. Right.

Mr. Moulder. Were any of them employees in your immediate section?

Mr. Stenhouse. No.

Mr. Moulder. The China Section of the Department of Commerce?

Mr. Stenhouse. No.

Mr. Moulder. Do you, of your own personal knowledge, know whether any of the persons attending those meetings were members of the Communist Party?

Mr. Stenhouse. Well, they were at the meetings.
