Elvin Clyde:
Are you asking this committee to believe that you attended the meeting of a communist organization because of a girl? Peter Appleton:
Yes, sir. I'm sure that even a majority counselor like yourself is familiar with the concept of impressing a girl. [laughter in the courtroom] Congressman Doyle:
Mr. Appleton, you will please confine your answers. Peter Appleton:
I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman. Elvin Clyde:
I'm having trouble reconciling your testimony here, Mr. Appleton. Now we're told you're prepared to read a statement purging yourself of communist ties. Yet when questioned about the meeting you attended, you claim not to have gone as a member. Peter Appleton:
I didn't. Elvin Clyde:
Then what did you attend as? Peter Appleton:
I'm a little hesitant to say. Elvin Clyde:
You agreed to be forthcoming. I insist you do so. Peter Appleton:
[sheepishly]
