246 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES He said, ''Well, sure, you know what you can do ; get Walsh to agree to it." I said, "Well, good-by." He said, "Now, look," he said, "If you have any change or if you want anything — if anything new develops — j^ou know Avhere to get hold of me. You call me." And I said. "All right." I did call him later on, but now that was just about all — unless Eddie can think of something else — that was just about the end of the Chicago meeting. There was nothing else after that. Mr. McCann. Mr. Arnold, was Mr. Reagan present at any of the meetings with Mr. Hutcheson? Mr. Arxold. Oh, yes. Mr. ]McCaxn. Which one? Mr. Arnold. The first one, when I called Mr. Hutcheson on the phone. Everybody told me I couldn't get to the man and there was no use calling him. I said, "All right, let's try it." When I did get him, I was so surprised I didn't know what to say. He did invite us over, and two ladies went over Mr. McCann. What ladies? Mr. Arnold. Jane Wyman and June AUyson. Mr. McCann. Do you know where Miss AUyson is? Mr. Somerset. She is in Arizona on location. Mr. McCann. Do you know where Mr. Kelly is ? Mr. Somerset. He is in the high Sierras. Mr. McCann. I understand he has had very severe work, Mr. Chairman. I am trying to explain the absence of some of these people. Mr. Arnold. He has been ill, you know. Mr. McCann. I understand he just finished a picture and rushed up there to get some rest. Do you know where Mr. Murphy is ? Mr. Arnold. I think he is in Coronado. Mr. McCann. I think they are trying to get him. Do you know where Mr. Pidgeon is ? Mr.' Arnold. Walter Pidgeon? No ; I don't know. Mr. McCann. What part did he have in it ? Mr. Arnold. Just one of the delegates to the convention. He was there only 2 days. He had to come right back. He didn't have much to do with it. Mr. McCann. Was he in the conference with the three other men ? Mr. Arnold. No. Mr. McCann. Was he in the conference with Mr. Hutcheson ? Mr. Arnold. No. Mr. McCann. Now, have there been, gentlemen, any mistakes or errors that you would like to correct? I mean, do you recall anything you have said that you would like to correct for the record? (No response.) Mr. McCann. All right; let's go from the Chicago meeting. I understand there was a possibility, perhaps, Mr. Somerset having straightened it out on the conversation with Mr. Sorrell — but I wanted to give you a chance, if there were any little errors that you might want to correct, that you have the opportunity to do so.
