Mr. Jenner. I gather from your testimony you certainly do not consider yourself a Communist.

Mrs. Paine. I certainly do not.

Mr. Jenner. And quite the contrary.

Mrs. Paine. That is right.

Mr. Jenner. Tell us what your activities—you are a member of the American Civil Liberties Union?

Mrs. Paine. I am.

Mr. Jenner. What have been your activities in connection with that organization?

Mrs. Paine. Primarily to send in my membership fee each year. I have been a member for some years prior—that is to say, going back to the time prior to my marriage. I have recently, perhaps a year ago, became on the membership committee for the local chapter in Dallas. That chapter, I might say, only just opened a year and a half ago.

Mr. Jenner. And have you, as part of those activities, sought to enlist others to become members of the American Civil Liberties Union?

Mrs. Paine. I have talked to perhaps half a dozen people, to encourage them; yes.
