Tells How Reds Seized
Washington Pension Union
SEATTLE w Ex-Communist'
Eugene V. 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.

drivers," Chief Warren said.
"These figures prove conclusively
that traffic accidents don't happen,
they are caused and that they
are often caused by wilful diso

The Chief made this statement
as he urged all drivers to cooper
