Budenz' Own Statements

DuuCtlL oWh otaeNhNheo
In Who's Who for 1943-49, Blu
denz states in his own self-penned
biography that he married Marga-
ret D. Rogers on Aug. 25, 1888.
Yet testifying under oath in the
deportation case of Communist
John Santo in September 1947, Bu-
denz stated that he did not obtain
a divorce from Gizella Budenz, his
first wife, until 1888. Furthermore,
he didn't take the trouble to marry
Margaret Rogers legally until 1915.
Apparently Budenz got worried
about his own false statement IN
Who's Who for l949, because, in
Who's Who for 1850, he merely
stated married Margaret d. Rog-
ers," and omitted the date.
Apologists for Budenz also say
that he began living with MaTga-
ret Rogers in 1888 while still mar
ried to Gizella Budenz because un-
der the Communist creed it didn't
make any difference. Actually,
however, he did not become a
Communist until 1885, two years
after he began living with Miss
Rogers.
Also it's difficult to understand
why Budenz did not legalize his
relationship with Miss Rogers i'm
mediately after his divorce in 1888.
Instead he waited seven years, UNI
til l945, during which three child
rem were born out of wedlcok.
These and other facts about the
most important witness to appear
before a Senate committee in years,
were brought out under oath dur
ing the deportation of an alleged
Communist, John Santo, at Whlcn
Rudenz was a Government witness.
The transcript is a public record
of the U. S. Immigration Bureau
and is also in the hands OF the
Senate committee. Here are per-
tinent excerpts, with the cross-ex-
animation by Harry Sacher, attof-
ney for Communist Santo. In fair
ness to Budenz, it should be noted
that Sacher has represented var
ious Communists apd naturally
wanted to be as rough as possible
on the witness.

three children were born out OF
wedlock and that he also had re-
lations with a third woman.
Apologists for 'Budenz minimize
this on the ground that Budenz
has now reformed. Nevertheless,
untruthful statements made re-
garding his past and refusal to
answer questions have a bearing
upon Budenz' credibility.

spokes OF a wheel. There will be
connecting roadways on the rim
and at intervals within the giant
circle, he explained.
But he told the planners that

velopment mass transit systems
over the country must be extended
and rehabilitated, general street
