2108 COMMUNISM IX HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Dr. Krieger. No ; none whatsoever. Mr. Wheeler. Well, by you agreeing with Witczak in this mail- drop operation, did you realize at that time that you were also becom- ing a part of a conspiratorial group or becoming involved with the Communist International ? Dr. Krieger. I did. Mr. Wheeler. And you were agreeable to that ? Dr. Krieger. I was at the time. Mr. Wheeler. Did you ever receive any money from Mr. Witczak ? Dr. Krieger. I did. Mr. Wheeler. What was the money for ? Dr. Krieger. For passage to Japan. Mr. Wheeler. Passage to Japan ? Dr. Krieger. Yes. Mr. Wheeler. Did you ever receive any other money ? Dr. Krieger. Which I, by the way, subsequently returned to him. Mr. Wheeler. Did you ever act as a mail drop in the United States, or did you ever Dr. Krieger. No, sir. Mr. Wheeler. —Transmit any communications of any nature? Dr. Krieger. No, sir. Mr. Wheeler. Did Mr. Witczak ever request any information from you while you were in the United States Air Corps ? Dr. Krieger. No ; not while I was in the Air Corps. Mr. Wheeler. Did he request any information from you at all? Dr. Krieger. He did. Mr. Wheeler. What type of information ? Dr. Krieger. He wanted—about a year afterward he wanted to know whether I would write in a detailed account for him of what transpired during my training as a cadet, and I told him at the time that it was available in the city hall, that I thought there was a re- cruiting depot up there and they had all the literature of what a cadet went through. Mr. Wheeler. Did you supply him this information ? Dr. Krieger. I did. Mr. Wheeler. In pamphlet form from the city hall? Dr. Krieger. No. He asked me—when I told him that he asked me to please write it, myself, and write it out so that—whether he felt that I could leave out or put in or write more detail, I do not know, but I practically, as I recall, took one of those pamphlets and wrote from it what the expected training was of a cadet, plus what happened to me as a cadet, and that was all. Mr. Wheeler. Was this in any way considered restricted or classi- fied information ? Dr. Krieger. No, sir; it was not. It was public information. Mr. Wheeler. Do you know what Mr. Witczak did with the ma- terial ? Dr. Krieger. No, sir; I do not. Mr. Wheeler. What was his reaction when he received them ? Dr. Krieger. Nothing. He thanked me and said that he was going to report to his superiors, or whatever it was, and try and get me back in their good graces, and I told him that I didn't care to. That was all.
