Dennett said Saturday the Reds seized a "political oppor tunity" to infiltrate and control the Washington Pension Union in the late 1930s. As the Seattle steelworker con tinued testimony before a House un-American activities subcommit tee, members said he was divulg ing so much new information about the Communist Party lhat another hearing may be necessary here next June. ' Dennett discussed the Pension Union after he said in earlier testi mony that the Communists used unemployed citizens' grouns, wa terfront organizations and the once politically-potent Washington Com monwealth Federation to win sup port for po'icles dictated from the Soviet Union. . The witness was asked Salur dav to clarify testimony he gave Fridav that Harrv Lundeberff. i head of the Sailors' Union of the I Pacific, had attended Communist J meetings in Seattle during the mid X 1930s. Lundeberg, known now as a ) strong anti-Communist, had denied .. attending meetings. - -i "I simply mentioned," Dennett explained, "that Mr. Lundeberg . had attended a fraction (Commu nist) meeting, and that was com ';' mon knowledge. I at no time ac cused him of being a Communist." , Dennett said Saturday (hat Er . Best Fox, whom. he described as : -Cundeherg's top assistant, "in formed me that Lundeberg had 4 attended top fraction meetings." Dennett said cuts in old-age re lief grants about 1936 led to for . i mation of- the Pension Union. He said Howard Costlgan, then . executive secretary of the Com- monwealth Federation and listed ; j5 by Dennett as a Communist Party member, made a radio address J Inviting protests from pensioners. I A mass meeting followed, Dennett I said, and Costigan suggested for I mation of a committer. ' .1 Costigan asked the Communist Party for help, Dennett related, and the party assigned the late William J. Pennock to assist Cos tigan, Pennock, who became head of the Pension Union, committed suicide while a defendant in Smith Act trials here in- 1953. Dennett snid Communists also assigned former state Sen. Tom Rabbitt to help win control of the Pension Union. Rabbitt invoked the Fifth Amendment in declining to tell the committee last June whether he ever had engaged in Communist activity. Chairman Moulder (D-Mo) said Dennett's testimony was so -impressive that the committee would either come back here in June or call Dennett to testify at a hear ing scheduled in Los Angeles in June or July.
