Mr. O’Connell. Yes, sir. He was a professor at the University of Washington.
Mr. Tavenner. Dr. Gundlach was identified by Harold Sunoo, before this committee, as having been a member of the Communist Party. There was a course conducted on labor news reporting by a person by the name of Pettus. Do you know his first name?
Mr. O’Connell. Do I know his first name?
Mr. Tavenner. Yes.
Mr. O’Connell. As I understand, there were two Pettuses who were newspapermen, Ken Pettus and Terry Pettus, and I am pretty sure the party involved here is the editor of the New World, or does it say? Ken Pettus, I think, was editor of the Stars and Stripes in the Far Eastern area at one time, and then Terry was editor of the New World in Seattle, Terry Pettus.
Mr. Tavenner. Do you know which one taught this course on labor news reporting?
Mr. O’Connell. No, I don’t.
Mr. Tavenner. You do not?
Mr. O’Connell. My guess would be that it would be Terry because he was in Seattle but I don’t know whether he actually did.
Mr. Tavenner. Terry Pettus was identified before this committee as having been a member of the Communist Party by Elizabeth Boggs Cohen and Barbara Hartle.
