She was a very active person in the unemployed movement, in the unemployed councils.
Later on, I knew Mr. Terry Pettus, who was the editor of the New World, and now the northwest edition of the People’s World.
Mr. Tavenner. Will you spell the name, please.
Mr. Dennett. P-e-t-t-u-s, Pettus.
Mr. Moulder. Are all the names you are referring to individuals who once were, or who now are, members of the Communist Party?
Mr. Dennett. They were known to me at the time I was in the Communist Party as members of the Communist Party, and I had Communist business with them.
Another person’s name was Jim Cour, C-o-u-r or C-o-u-e-r. I am not too sure of that spelling.
But Jim Cour was in an editorial capacity on the old Voice of Action, which was the predecessor of the present paper, the northwest edition of the People’s World. In between the name changed many times. At one time they had the New World, and, another time, it had several different names. But it was the same organization, the same subscribers, the same leadership. The change of name was intended to more adequately satisfy the attitude of the public toward political questions at that particular moment.
There was another one by the name of Bill Corr, but his was spelled differently, and it was C-o-r-r. Bill Corr was in the business management end of the paper, the Voice of Action.
Later I knew a person by the name of Huber, L. R. It seems to me that his first name was Louis, L-o-u-i-s. He served as editor of the Lumberworkers’ paper for a long period of time, that is, the paper issued by the International Woodworkers of America, at the time that Harold Pritchett was the president of the organization.
