4488 COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Mr. Tavenner. Were any meetings of that character held at your home ? Mr. Burrows. There were HICCASP meetings held at my house, but none of these literature meetings that I know of. HICCASP meetings, Radio Writers' Guild meetings. Mr. Tavenner. Were you acquainted with Elizabeth Glenn ? Mr. Burrows. I wasn't acquainted with her. She was in my house once, I think, and I met her. She was never at any of the meetings that we were talking about, any of the gatherings. I never knew her. But she used to kind of wheel around at benefits and big functions. She seemed to be a person of some authority. Mr. Tavenner. She was. She has been shown to have been a func- tionary of the Communist Party. Mr. Burrows. I can remember her, because she was an exception- ally large lady. Mr. Tavenner. What was her reason for being at your house? Mr. Burroavs. She came to my house one night with some other people. You see, a lot of these people on the left would show up at my place socially, periodically, and she was brought by somebody. I think she was brought by Richard Bransten, by Bruce Minton, at the time she came. Mr. Tavenner. What was the purpose of her visit ? Mr. Burrows. They dropped by. It was after some kind of thing, where everybody dropped by at somebody's house for a drink, and I knew him, and I guess I told him to drop by for a drink and I know her. It was after a rally or something, and he brought her. The only thing I remember is that she was engaged at the time— she introduced herself to me, as I remember at that time, and she said, "Did you read Albert Maltz' new book?" Albert Maltz had just written the Cross and the Arrow, I think it w T as, a book about war in Germany, and I said "No," and she said it was terrible. That is all I know. She was very critical of it, and I guess I gave her a book, and that was all. Mr. Tavenner. Did you know at that time that she was a func- tionary of the Communist Party ? Mr. Burrows. It was one of the things you felt. I don't know about the word functionary, but I assumed she was a wheel. Mr. Wood. Mr. Tavenner, I guess this would be a good time to recess. The subcommittee will stand in recess until 2 o'clock. (Whereupon, at 12: 30 p. m. the subcommittee recessed, to recon- vene at 2 p. m. the same day.) AFTERNOON SESSION (The subcommitte reconvened, pursuant to recess, at 2:10 p. m., Representatives Morgan M. Moulder, James B. Frazier, Jr., and Harold H. Velde being present.) Mr. Moulder. The committee is called to order and hearing re- sumed with and by a subcommittee composed of three members, Mr. Frazier, Mr. Velde, and Mr. Moulder as acting chairman.
