88 COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Mr. Walter. It's an answer. Mr. Parks. Hm-m ? Mr. Walter. It's an answer. Mr. Parks. Well, I would like to answer your question if you're not satisfied with that answer. Mr. Walter. Somebody must have indicated a course of procedure. Somebody must have directed activity. Because you just didn't sit down in a polite discussion group without having an objective. Mr. Parks. Well Mr. Walter. No; what I am interested in knowing is who directed the activities that this group were engaged in. Mr. Parks. And I repeat again that no one to my knowledge directed any kind of activities. You must believe me when I say that for all intents and purposes it was more of a social occasion than any kind of a usual meeting. Mr. Potter. Who would call the meetings together? Mr. Parks. Well, I don't really know. I can't really answer this. Mr. Potter. Did you have a set, scheduled meeting once every month or once every week, or was it upon the call of some individual? Mr. Parks. Well, as I recall, various individuals would call. I don't believe that there was any set Mr. Potter. Certainly it wasn't run by mental telepathy. Mr. Parks. No; I didn't say that.

I would get a call from a member of the group and they would say. "Well, let's have a meeting tonight, tomorrow night." Mr. Kearney. Were the meetings always held at the same place ? Mr. Parks. No; they were not. Mr. Kearney. Were they held in halls or in your own homes? Mr. Parks. These were held at homes. As I say Mr. Kearney. Did you ever have any meetings at 3^our own home? Mr. Parks. Never. Mr. Kearney. Where were some of the meetings held ? Mr. Parks. If I might add as a word of explanation, that these were people like myself, small type people, no different than myself in any respect at all, and no different than you or I. Mr. Kearney. Where were some of these meetings held? Mr. Parks. As I say, these were held in various homes in Holly- wood. Mr. Kearney. Can you. name some of them ? Mr. Parks. Well, as I asked the counsel and as I asked the com- mittee, if you will allow this, I would prefer not to mention names under these circumstances: That these were people like myself who—
