Patrick O'Dea of Boston, president of the Massachusetts Young onimunist League, refused today o tell the Dies Committee the ame of the state party secretary but said that “50 or 60 communists” attend Harvard University. His defiance of the Committee, he said, was on the grounds that disclosure of Communist Party members would subject them to “a lacklist” by employers. He was the ourth. Communist witness to defy the Committee. Contempt citations have been filed or are pending against the other three. Chairman Martin Dies said he would ask the Committee to cite Mr. O'Dea for conterpt. [ "Mr. O'Dea testified that he knew the name of the state party secretary but he would not permit this erson to be “subjected to economic persecution. »

Real Estate Leader

He was president of The Spann Co., was treasurer of the Benevolent Fund of the Second Presbyterian Church, in which he long had been active, and was president or an officer of many Indianapolis real estate ‘firms. He also was a director of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Duck was born in Lexington, Ky., Feb. 21, 1875, the son of David Curtis Duck and Alice Lilly Duck. He attended the public schools there and was graduated from Johnsor. High School. Although his father wished him to learn the book-binding trade, business conditions were such that an opening was not available, Studied in Kentucky

He enrolled in the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Kentucky, now the University of Kentucky, planning to stay one year. However, he obtained a position as an assistant to a cabinet-maker, a former Confederate soldier who had lost his hearing in the battle of Gettysburg. Thus he was able to remain in school. He was graduated in June, 1897, having completed the drawings and supervision of construction for the first known ' steam-driven hemp brake. He had specialized in steam engine boilers while in college. This prompted him to come to Indianapclis ip September, 1897, and apply for a position in the drafting department of the Atlas Engine

Chairman Dies said that data seized included “one of the most valuable files we have yet obtained” and “more important information than has been disclosed heretofore in Committee testimony.” Today’s session came after Rep. Samuel Dickstein (D. N. Y.), charged that William Dudley Pelley, the Silver Shirt 'chief, made a “treasonable effort to overthrow the U. S. Government” and conspired to

A few weeks later, he received a bench job on large engines and learned the machinist’s trade. He was able to reduce materially the time in erection of slide valve engines and was called to the drafting room, where he completed the first set of drawings on the line of boilers then being marketed by the company. He assisted in development of new projects, including

Corliss gasoline engines. Mr. Duck was placed in charge of supervising construction of a frame engine warehouse, desiziing the crane for the building wien the plant was enlarged.
