Mr. Fehrenbach. No; I didn’t.
Mr. Griffin. I take it that you have never reported to any government agency the fact that you thought these particular men were Communists?
Mr. Fehrenbach. How could I prove it? The only time—but I did report at one time, and this was after I came back from the service, and I went up there one morning, I knew they was having a meeting upstairs the night before because so many different ones had come in and apparently this must have been a real rally meeting because they were coming in from Chicago and several different places and this is one of the times, this was to my opinion, to the best of my knowledge, this was the last time that I met the man that they called Jack Rubenstein, and he came in with Seymour Jasson, and one or two other men from Chicago. And the next morning when I went back to work they had taken one of the chairs out of the shop and I had to go upstairs to the hall and get the chair.
The door wasn’t locked and I went in and I picked the chair up and there was a table in there. Well, there were tables down both sides of the hallway and then one across the front of the room, and there was a sheaf of papers on the table up in front where our chair was, and I didn’t really pay any attention to it then until I happened to glance at it and there was a list of names and to my recollection there were two or three sheets full of names on there, and I glanced at the first few of them.
Mr. Griffin. Can you describe these sheets of paper?
Mr. Fehrenbach. Well, all it was was, I would say, typewritten paper, typewriter paper, similar to typewriter paper. It might have been a little longer.
Mr. Griffin. Were the names handwritten or typewritten?
Mr. Fehrenbach. The names were all typewritten. There were no addresses, if I remember correctly there were no addresses, and the first few names I looked at and there was Lawson Jaffe at the top, I think he was the first one, I don’t believe I can put them right directly in order and I can only remember the first four or five.
Mr. Griffin. Tell us how many names were there altogether would you estimate on this list?
Mr. Fehrenbach. There must have been 100, 150, three pages of them typewritten and how many names they could get on one page I don’t know.
