asked how the communists got
money to finance their operations.
Budenz said that dues account
ed for some funds, gifts from
wealthy persons for others, add

“There was a very big take
from Hollywood.”
The slight, balding former com

Clarence Derba and sometimes
Alexander Biddleman, were mem
bers of the control commission.
He said this commission had
complete information on Com
munist party members—including
who they associated and talked

never resign voluntarily from the
party, you must always be ex
pelled’.”
Budenz, who left the party in
1945, told the committee that the
party’s status as fifth column for
Russia in this country is proved
by three factors:
1. “The communist party has
| never found any defect in Russian
policy” and its leaders “must do
what the Kremlin orders at any
specific moment.”
2. The party for years received
direct subsidies from Moscow in
the form of free news. Budenz
said this practice was halted by
| former attorney general Francis
Biddle.
3. From 80 to 90 per cent of the
party’s leaders have been trained
in Moscow.
