Mr. Tavenner. I am not certain that it does. I do not have her testimony with me. But I am not certain as to the number of years of Communist Party membership before he was assigned to the Newspaper Club of the Communist Party.
Was Ruth Rifkin an employee of your committee?
Mr. O’Connell. I can’t remember now. The name doesn’t—wasn’t she a notary public?
Mr. Tavenner. She could have been a notary public.
Mr. O’Connell. Didn’t she run in addition to being a notary public, didn’t she run a mimeograph shop or something of that kind? That is the recollection that I have.
Mr. Tavenner. According to your report covering the period of April 1950 she was employed in a secretarial capacity. She was paid for secretarial services.
Mr. O’Connell. I think she ran a secretarial service shop and did mimeographing and so on. That is my recollection.
Mr. Tavenner. How was she employed by you?
Mr. O’Connell. I think we took particular materials to her sometimes to dictate and then to have her run off on mimeograph.
Mr. Tavenner. Was she known to you to be a member of the Communist Party?
