Fellow Student Says
BY the Associoied Press

.. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-A fell
low student of William w.
Remington at Dartmouth Col
lege in the 1905 says the two
helped to break up campus
club which ''in some respects
followed the Communist Party
line"
William Wolf Goodman, a 35-
year-old Danbury (Conn) hat
manufacturer. testified yester-
day at the second Federal Court
. perjury trial of Remington. a
former $10,000-a-year Commerce
Department economist.
Remington to Return.
Mr.. Goodman gave his testi-
mony when Remington, appear
ing as his own first witness. took
a break in his witness stand ap-
pearance. Remington was sched-
uled to return to the witness
stand for more croSS-eXamina-
tion today.
Mr.. Goodman's testimony was
offered by the defense in an
apparent move to counter testi-
mony by other former Dart
mouth students that Remington

college days.

Mr.. Goodman. who described
himself as an anti-CommuniSt,

one call Remington Bolshevik.

Tells of Giving U. S. Data.
Remington, who is 35, testified
yesterday about data he gave
to Elizabeth Bentley, self-ad-
mltted former Soviet spy ring
courier, when he was a wartime
employe of the War Production
Board. She had testified he gave
her secret information.
Remington said none of the
data was secret and that he gave
it to her in hopes of winning
support for the WPB from per-
sons critical of its policies. He
also said he acted because she
asked for the data for a book
and this made him feel like "a
big shot" and made him think
he would become known as an
economist.
The defendant is accused of
five counts of perjury concern
ing alleged Communist connec-
tions when he testified in his own
defense at his first Federal per-
jury trial here two years ago.
He then was convicted of lying
to Federal grand jury in his
statement that he never was a
Communist member. An appeals
court reversed the verdict on a
technical matter. and the Gov
ernment then obtained the new
indictment. -.
