Sea Captain Links Reds to Revolution; Identifies 11 in Party >y th» Anociatcd Ni LOS ANGELES. Feb. 8.—A crusty sea captain, first witness for the Government in the con spiracy trial of 15 California Com munists. faces stormy sailing in his second day on the stand today. David Saunders, 41-year-old master mariner of San Francisco, identified 11 of the defendants as his former co-workers in the party while he was a member from 1935 to 1945, and particularly described his association with William Schneiderman, now State party chief. Despite defense counsel objec tions which totaled over 75, the Government—with Capt. Saun ders’ aid—was able to read hun dreds of words from 10 Com munist Party publications yester day, purporting to show that the party is dedicated to violence. Says Leader Defended Stalin. United States Attorney Walter 6. JBinns said he intended to com plete his questioning of Capt. Saunders today. The five-man de fense battery indicated it would open all its legal guns on cross examination. Capt. Saunders said he became a waterfront organizer for the party from 1935 to 1937 after Schneiderman, then regional or ganizer, had approved him for the job. He related an incident when he told the latter in 1940 that he was upset about Russia’s invasion of Finland. “What’s good enough for Joe is good enough for you,’’ the wit ness said Schneiderman replied. He said “Joe” was Stalin. The most forceful objection brought by the defense—and one of the few sustained by Judge William C. Mathes—came when Capt. Saunders defined “Commu nist functionary” as “what we called a full-time, professional revolutionist." Was Trained as "Functionary.** He admitted he was a function ary from 1935 through 1939, and redefined it as “an important member of the party.” Capt. Saunders said he under went intensive training at a State leadership school at party head quarters at 121 Haight street, San Francisco, in 1937, and that one of the teachers was Oleta O’Con nor Yates, a defendant. The books entered by the Government In evidence were used as text books, the witness said. Other defendants identified by Capt. Saunders yesterday were Frank Spector, Albert Jason Lima, Loretta Starvus Stack, Ernest Otto Fox, A1 Richmond, Ben Dobbs, Frank Carlson, Dorothy R. Healey and Carl Rude Lam bert. All are charged with con spiracy to teach and advocate violent overthrow of the Govern ment.
