COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY 2115 Dr. Krieger. No, sir; I can't. Mr. Jackson. Or of any other persons who were known to you to be members of the Communist Party, outside of the cell organ- ization ? Dr. Krieger. No; not right offhand, I cannot, Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson. If the names of any additional individuals occur to you, will you get in touch with Mr. Wheeler? Dr. Krieger. I will. I will be more than happy to. Mr. Jackson. Or in the absence of Mr. Wheeler, will you com- municate that information to the committee? Dr. Krieger. I will. Mr. Jackson. Is there any reason why the doctor should not be excused at this time? Mr. Wheeler. I see no reason why not. I think his subpena should be continued open, unless you want to set a date. I assume, or go on the presumption that the full committee will be very interested in taking the testimony from the doctor. Mr. Jx\ckson. Of course, I have no authority to vacate the subpena pending the arrival of a full committee in Los Angeles, so the subpena will be continued open. Mr. Wheeler. Make it Friday morning at 9: 30. Mr. Arnold Krieger. Why don't you leave it open, then. If you ever want him, just call me and I will be glad to produce him for you. Mr. Jackson. Let's put it on that basis. The subpena will be con- tinued open. If, for any reason, you anticipate changing your address or being absent from the city during the course of the public hearings, will you communicate that information to Mr. Wheeler? Dr. Krieger. I will; yes, sir. Mr. Jackson. In order that we will be able to call you if it is the desire of the committee. Dr. Krieger. Yes. Mr. Arnold Krieger. If Mr. Wheeler will give me a ring I will produce him for you. Mr. Wheeler. All right. Fine. Thank you. (A discussion was had off the record.) Mr. Jackson. One further question on the record. Have you communicated your identities to the press or not ? Mr. Arnold Krieger. Yes; they got us out there. Mr. Jackson. Well, I didn't want to inadvertently give that infor- mation in the event that you had not already so identified yourself. Mr. Arnold Krieger. We got here about a quarter of 10. We tried to sit up at the other end, but you just can't avoid them. Mr. Jackson. It is very difficult to do. Mr. Arnold Krieger. Some of them knew who I was. I don't think they have identified him with that Canadian deal. Mr. Jackson. Well, as far as any information that will be given out from this committee on this hearing, there will be none except to possibly distinguish between those who cooperated with the committee and those who did not; so pending any further word from us, thank you very much. Dr. Krieger. Thank you. Mr. Arnold Krieger. Thank you, gentlemen. (Whereupon the subcommittee adjourned until the following day.)
