Senator Seabright Cooley : Now, Mr. Gelman. You told me something about names in this comunist cell.
Herbert Gelman : Yes. Nobody used their right names. Mr. Leffingwell was called Walker, Bukowski was called Fitzgerald. I never learn James Morton's real name. They tried to give me the name of Andrews. About that time I quit.
Senator Seabright Cooley : What happened when you quit?
Herbert Gelman : Mr. Leffingwell failed me in his class of Government administration.
Senator Seabright Cooley : Why didn't you report all of this to the University authorities?
Herbert Gelman : I was afraid.
Senator Seabright Cooley : And you're not afraid now?
Herbert Gelman : Yes. I'm afraid. But I couldn't stand by and see a man like Mr. Leffingwell get into a position of such power of Secretary of State.
Senator Brigham Anderson : Can you corroborate this story, Mr. Gelman?
Senator Seabright Cooley : This man is an eyewitness, under oath, Mr. Chairman.
Herbert Gelman : [shouting] I'm not lying!
Senator Brigham Anderson : I didn't say you were lying.
