Miss Knight. 25.
These names were then checked over the lookout file which I have explained here.
Senator Cooper. Here in Washington?
Miss Knight. Yes; and if there is no card in the lookout file, it is presumed that he is clear, because if we had information that he was an active Communist, or that we had reason to believe that there should be further check on him, this would have been reflected in the lookout file. There was no such card in the file.
Senator Cooper. All right. At that time, then, when he had made his application and the information was sent to your office, there was no lookout card?
Miss Knight. No, sir.
Senator Cooper. Which would indicate that he was a Communist or a member of a Communist organization, registered, and so forth. And did you have such a system then?
Miss Knight. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Of lookout cards?
Miss Knight. Yes, sir; we have had that system for a long time.
