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.
