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.
