(quote-journal) I notice that counsel Whitley or someone asked you as to "card carrying Communist."Mr. McCuistion, Yes.Mr. Casey,. Is that a well-known phrase, "card carrying Communist"?Mr. McQuistion, That "card-carrying Communist" is the type of Communist who comes out and admits to everybody he is a Communist.Mr. Casey. But it has no reference to his membership card at all?Mr. McQuistion. Yes. He flashes it to everybody, just like a reporter flashes his credentials at this thing here, if it was not known to the other reporters. He tells everybody.Mr. Casey. Did you ever see (w) card?Mr. McQuistion. No; I never saw Joe Curran's card. I know enough about Communist procedure, however, to know that Joe Curran would not be issued a card, anyhow, in the name of "Joe Curran."Mr. Casey. I mean if he was a "card carrying Communist" who flashes his card.?Mr. McQuistion. Oh, they would not make that type of man—they very seldom make that type of man an official.
