Mr. Tavenner. You testified yesterday that in May of 1949 you procured a grant of $4,000 for the use of the Northwest Pacific Labor School.
Mr. O’Connell. Of course I think that ought to be—I personally couldn’t procure the grant. The grant was voted by at least a majority of the trustees for the Pacific Northwest Labor School.
Mr. Tavenner. Was the grant actually made through your efforts?
Mr. O’Connell. I advocated that the grant be made, yes.
Mr. Tavenner. And Daschbach interviewed you with regard to it before you presented it?
Mr. O’Connell. Yes, that is correct.
Mr. Tavenner. Was any part of that grant or any other grant used for the benefit of the Northwest edition of the Daily People’s World?
Mr. O’Connell. As far as I know, certainly not. I mean the grants were made to the organization and certainly no part of that grant as far as I would know, what actually Daschbach may have done with it later I wouldn’t be able to specifically say.
Mr. Tavenner. Did you learn anything about it, even from a second-hand source?
Mr. O’Connell. No; I never learned, never had any information that it was used for any other purpose.
