2098 COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY Mr. Wheeler. In regard to that, we received no communications whatsoever from your producer requesting a postponement. I am quite sure that arrangements could have been worked out so that you could have worked this period of 3 days if we would have been contacted, because we certainly don't want anybody to lose their em- ployment, and I was not contacted and Congressman Jackson was not contacted. Mr. Shayne. Well, my producer said that he contacted someone. He didn't tell me who. Mr. Wheeler. He certainly didn't contact the committee who has jurisdiction over these matters, because if he had we would have cer- tainly been in communication with you or your producer. Mr. Shayne. Then, may I ask you this: Am I free to accept em- ployment next Monday ? Mr. Wheeler. You are free to accept employment any time. Mr. Shayne. Well, now, suppose I am subpenaed for these public hearings ? Mr. Jackson. You will be notified in sufficient time. If you are subpenaed for the public hearings, we will make every effort to set it at such a time as will not conflict with any obligations you may have in employment. Mr. Shayne. Of course, being a free-lance actor, I never know when I am going to work more than a day or two in advance. Mr. Jackson. Will you try to let us know whether or not, if you do receive an offer of employment—it might be a good idea for him to communicate with you. Mr. Wheeler. Yes. Mr. Shayne. Where can you be reached, Mr. Wheeler? Mr. Wheeler. Hollywood Roosevelt. Mr. Shayne. In this hotel? Mr. Wheeler. Yes. Mr. Jackson. Thank you, Mr. Shayne. Mr. Shayne. Thank you. Mr. Jackson. Will you call the next witness, Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler. Mendell Morton Krieger. Mr. Jackson. Will you stand and be sworn, please ? Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you give this subcom- mittee shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Dr. Krieger. I do.
