COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY 2057 I would like to show this to the witness and ask him if he can identify it as a registration certificate receipt, that he registered this at the Screen Writers' Guild. Mr. Strawn. Again I will have to claim the same privilege in not answering the question. What was the question again ? Mr. Wheeler. I asked you if you recognize that as a receipt you received when the manuscript was registered at the Screen Writers' Guild. Mr. Strawn. I can only recognize this as a receipt. I had better claim the same privilege on that. Mr. Wood. A moment ago, Mr. Strawn, you stated in response to a question as to whether or not you did register this particular script with the Screen Writers' Guild in 1949, you stated that you could investigate the records up there and determine the answer to that question. Now, having refreshed your recollection by being confronted with this record, do you state now that you did not register this? Mr. Strawn. You are making an error, I am afraid. I said that I would have to investigate. There could still be this receipt and it doesn't necessarily mean that I registered it or got the receipt. Mr. Wood. That is what I am trying to find out now. Will you state whether you registered that or not, after having refreshed your recollection ? Mr. Strawn. I don't recall. Mr. Wood. Even after having seen this receipt ? Mr. Strawn. I really don't recall. Mr. Wood. Was it ever registered ? Mr. Strawn. Obviously it must have been. Mr. Wood. Did anyone else have any interest in this except your- self, in this registration? Mr. Strawn. Wasn't that question asked before and answered ? Mr. Wheeler. Not the same question, I don't believe. Mr. Wood. You were asked if you wrote it by yourself and you said you didn't and now I am asking you if anyone had any interest in it but you. Mr. Strawn. If someone else wrote it with me, then that person must, obviously, have an interest in registering it. Mr. Wood. That does not answer my question. Did anyone else have any interest in registering this except you ? Mr. Strawn. Yes. Mr. Wood. Could it have been possible the other person interested in the registration of it actually did the registering, or did you do that? Mr. Strawn. It could have been done by the other person. Mr. Wood. And it could have been done by either of vou: is that right? Mr. Strawn. Yes. Mr. Wood. You say you have no independent recollection of who did it; is that right? Mr. Strawn. My answer was that I do not recall having registered it myself. Mr. Wood. Do you recall anyone else having registered it? Mr. Strawn. No; but I assume that it was registered by someone else. 93012—52—pt. fi 2
