JUKLSDICTIONAL DISPUTES IN THE MOTION-PICTUEE
INDUSTEY
TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1947
House of Representatives, Special Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor,
Los Angeles^ Calif.
The subcommittee met at 10 : 10 a. m. in room 324, United States Post Office Building and Courthouse, Hon. Carroll D. Kearns (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.
Mr. KJEARNS. The hearing will come to order.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Kahane will return to the stand.
Mr. Kearns. You are already under oath.
Mr. Kahane. Yes, sir.
Mr. Kearns. I want to make a statement that this hearing has been delayed for 10 minutes. I want to announce to the press this delay has been caused because counsel has been setting up procedures for questioning that is to come in, and I made an announcement they would have to meet prior to 10 o'clock, so we wouldn't take any time out of the hearing time. I want it understood why we had this delay.
Mr. Counsel, I think we will take time out to read any of the exhibits submitted today, regardless of the time it will take, so everybody will know what we are entering into the record.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, I think it is an excellent idea, except that numerous exhibits probably will be introduced during the course of the hearing which may involve 40 or 50 pages. I think those exhibits should be marked for reference purposes only or identified for the record, and before they are submitted as exhibits or read into the record we should have a chance to go over them.
Mr. Kearns. Will it be possible for a summary to be given so the press will have the proper opportunity to get the content of them?
Mr. McCann. If counsel for the various parties involved, when they are offering a substantial exhibit, would make brief notes stating what is covered in the exhibit or what the purpose of the exhibit is, that would save us a great deal of time. Don't you think so, Mr. Price ?
Mr. Price. Yes.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Luddy, is that agreeable to you ?
Mr. Luddy. Yes.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Cobb?
jNIr. Cobb. An3'thing this good chairinan does and anything this good counsel does is agreeable to me.
Mr. McCann. I don't know how good we are or how good we will be. Thank you for the compliment.
