I myself was considerably surprised at the number of cases that turned up where, on a close following through of the vouchers, you found that an individual while in college had been a member of the Young Communist's League, or of the Communist Youth Movement, or even of the Communist Party--Men who had been out of college for several years and to whom that now would cease to make any difference, or who had even given up the conception of being Communists completely--nevertheless, on the search of such a man's voucher, you would find that he was all right, he was a good student and so on, he was active in the Young Communist League on campus.

Well, that was that. I was astonished that there were so many who had been interested in the Communist movement while they were in college. Not that it was a common thing, but that it was not uncommon. It was like Remington, the famous Remington case. William C. Remington of course denied it. That was why they held him on perjury. But there was evidence that he had belonged to the Young Communist League while he was at Dartmouth College.

It was pathetic, in some cases, but there were quite a good many people. There was one man, I remember, whom I had met in Paris. I don't recall his name now. He was then working for the U.S. Information Service, and he was conducting a broadcasting studio in Paris, down there in the Rue Scrib.
