Dr. Krieger. I can't recall witnesses who were before the committee now. Was Dalton Trumbo in front of the committee? Mr. Jackson. Yes; Dalton Trumbo was in front of the committee. Dr. Krieger. I have been at his home. Mr. Jackson. You have attended meetings there? Dr. Krieger. It was at that time a Joint Anti-Fascist Kefngee Committee. Mr. Jackson. Have you ever known of your own personal know- ledge any member in the entertainment field, specifically motion pic- tures, and seen them at meetings? Dr. Krieger. No, sir. Mr. Wheeler. Do you recall the name "Maurice Bergman"? Dr. Krieger. Bergman I Mr. Arnold Krieger. Bragin. Dr. Krieger. Bragin. I think he was the attorney. Mr. Wheeler. How do you spell his last name? Mr. Arnold Krieger. B-r-a-g-i-n. He is over in the Taft Build- ing, I believe. Dr. Krieger. Bragin; that's right. He has an office on Hollywood Boulevard. (A discussion was had off the record). Mr. Wheeler. Do.you recall where Mr. Bragin's office was? Dr. Krieger. I knew it was on Hollywood Boulevard, and I was given to understand at the time that it was in the Taft Building. Mr. Wheeler. Getting back to Leo Cefkin for a moment Dr. Krieger. That's right. Mr. Wheeler (continuing). You stated you introduced him to Mr. Witczak? Dr. Krieger. That's right. Mr. Wheeler. Now, do you know if Witczak also solicited help from Mr. Leo Cefkin in his operations? Dr. Krieger. Through me? Mr. Wheeler. Through you. Dr. Krieger. That's right. Mr. Wheeler. What was the nature of that ? Dr. Krieger. Well, he wanted to recruit—he had asked me if I knew any Koreans, and I said "No", and he wanted to know if I knew anybody that knew any. Well, I knew that Leo Cefkin probably did, and he did. He introduced me to a Korean who was to have taken my place when I was taken off the boat and was to have tried to get to Japan. Mr. Wheeler. Now, he was to take your place. Just what was your place? Dr. Krieger. Well, in other words, he was to go and do what I was supposed to do. Mr. Wheeler. Here in Los Angeles? Dr. Krieger. No: in Japan. Mr. Wheeler. Oh, in Japan? Dr. Krieger. That's right. Mr. W t heeler. I see. Do you recall the Korean's name? Dr. Krieger. No, sir; I do not.
