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

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

Mr. Stenhouse. I think I probably did. You mean a sort of curriculum vitae.

Mr. Tavenner. The real purpose of my question is to find out whether or not you were recommended to the Institute of Public Relations by any person who knew you had been a member of the Communist Party.

Mr. Stenhouse. No. I went there entirely on my own initiative.

Mr. Velde. Did you know any of the defendants in the Amerasia case?

Mr. Stenhouse. No.

Mr. Velde. Had you ever met any of them?

Mr. Stenhouse. Not to my knowledge.

Mr. Velde. Do you know who it was from the Institute of Pacific Relations who first interested you in the United Nations?

Mr. Stenhouse. I was interested in the United Nations myself.

Mr. Velde. Naturally, I suppose you were. Was any one person at the Institute of Pacific Relations responsible for your employment by the United Nations?
