Did Mr. Daschbach when he called you indicate his reason for calling you about teaching this course in the Pacific Northwest Labor School?
Mr. O’Connell. He thought because of my political experience and because of the position, I think I had just shortly concluded my term as executive secretary of the Democratic Party, that was when, in December of 1947.
Mr. Tavenner. Yes, sir.
Mr. O’Connell. That was in April of 1947, wasn’t it?
Mr. Tavenner. October to December 1947.
Mr. O’Connell. Anyway, he thought because of my political experience and because of my previous position that I could do a job and that I would be able to do it. When he told me what it was I told him it was in a field that I was not particularly qualified to do.
