Red Party Ties Denied
By Ex-Member of House

Committee declared in 1914 was
a principal source Of funds for
Communist enterprises. Mr..
O'Connell did not dispute Mr..
Tavenner's listing Of numerous
grants in 1942-51 to groups cited
by the Attorney General or the
House committee. Mr.. Tavenner
said some of the foundation
grants were awarded before and
some after the organizations had
been cited. He wanted to know
if the grants really didn't just
help Communist purposes.
Mr.. O'Connell replied that
there were mo awards made to
these organizations with the
point of view Of being beneficial
to the Communist Party"
He contended the trustees job
was not to look into the ''politi-
cal opinion" of the receiving or
ganziation, but to give money for
specific projects If they thought
the projects were in line with
the foundations purposes. He
said the approximately 81 million
fund for which he was a trustee
was used to promote trade
unionism and Il can't remember
any exceptions.

represented at the hearing by
Col. Hubert E. May, Nashville,

And said he believed this is the

The commission produced an
opinion by its general counsel,
Andrew T. Mcclure, stating that
the claimants had no right to
see any of the data sent to the
commission by the Army or to
learn the names of informants
against them.
MIR. WheelesS and Mr.. Walker
are among $50 former POWs
