2318 COMMUNISM IN HOLLYWOOD MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY And he gave me an address, and I went to the meeting. He was not there. (Representative Bernard W. Kearney reentered the hearing room at this point.) Mr. Tavenner. How is that ? Mr. Levy. He was not there. And the assumption was that— there was nothing more formal than that. I went to this meeting, and then I went to some others, not a lot. Mr. Tavenner. Where were these meetings held ? Mr. Levy. It was in the valley; I don't know. You say whose house ? Mr. Tavenner. Yes. Mr. Levy. I am not—I don't know. It was in the valley. It was on the flat part of the valley. There was a house I never went to again, and Bill 1 asked me that, and I have tried to remember that, and I have tried to remember since, and I just don't know whose house it is. Mr. Tavenner.

If you attended about five meetings, can you tell us, or give us the names of the homes of any of the persons ? Mr. Levy. A man named Bill Blowitz. Mr. Tavenner. Bill, is that Blowitz, B-1-o-w-i-t-z ? Mr. Levy. Yes; it is apparently the same man, if that is the way you pronounce it. Mr. Tavenner. Do you recall his first name ? Mr. Levy. Bill. Mr. Tavenner. And in what business was he engaged? Mr. Levy. He is a publicity man. (At this point, counsel for the committee interrupted the pro- ceedings to discuss another matter.) Mr. Tavenner. You stated that you attended a meeting in the home of William Blowitz. Mr. Levy. Yes, sir. Mr. Tavenner. Will you give us the names of other persons in whose homes you met ? Mr. Levy. I am trying to do that now. At a later time, Lester Cole— I think not at this time; I'm not sure—it's hard to remember them,
