1554 COMMUNISM IN MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Mr. Levitt. I beg your pardon. That is a misunderstanding. What I did say in relation to your earlier questions was that it is difficult for me to distinguish between those organizations which I have read about in the reports of testimony that has taken place in previous hearings of this committee in which it has been mentioned that various organizations are listed in this book and those which I actually did see in the book, itself. Mr. Doyle. What organizations in previous hearings of this com- mittee did you hear were listed in that book? Give me the name of any organization that you previously heard as a result of newspapers or otherwise to be listed in this book which you now have in your hand—just given you by your lawyer. Give me the name of one. Mr. Levitt. One such organization is the Hollywood Writers' Mobilization. Mr. Doyee. Give me the name of another. Mr. Levitt. One'other, I believe, is the Arts, Sciences and Profes- sions Council. Mr. Doyle. When did you hear that that was ever listed as sub- versive? How long ago, in any previous hearing before this com- mittee? Mr. Levitt. I said earlier that it was difficult for me to distinguish between learning of the attitude of this committee toward these organ- izations from reading their names in this book or from reading in the accounts of previous testimony, and I cannot give you a certain an- swer to that particular question. Mr. Doyee. Well, 1 judged you couldn't from your former answer. That is why I have taken your time and mine to ask you, to see how definite you were in that field of reply to the question. Now, you have the book before you that has just been given you by your attorney, Mr. Margolis. Point out, please, there the name of the organization that you just quoted. Have you ever seen it actually listed in that book ? If you have, refer to the same page where you found it before, please, and read us the name of the organization. I see you are look- ing at the book. Do you need the help of your attorney to find it? Mr. Margolis. Is there any objection to my giving him help, Mr. Doyle? Mr. Doyle. I am asking him—I assume he saw it in that book before, and if he did I assume he knows where to turn again. Mr. Levitt. I never said that I memorized this book in such a way that I could find anything I saw in it. Mr. Doyle. I think you said you saw it, sir, and therefore Mr. Levitt. That's correct. Mr. Doyle. I assume that you are capable of turning to the book again without your attorney directing your attention to the page where it is listed? Mr. Levitt. If you have objections—my attorney is helping us, I'm sure. Mr. Doyle. I think you are perfectly able to find it again if you ever found it before. I know your attorney is capable of finding it. Mr. Levitt. It seems to me that for a committee to travel 3,000 miles here to find out whether I am able to use a catalog that is alpha- betically arranged
