256 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
labor and industry, press and the actors guild, probabh', to prevail ujjon the proper authorities to get a larger hearing room.
This thing will grow, I imagine, from day to day. Otherwise, it is going to be necessary for me to limit the number of people I can have in this room, because we just can't take it here, I mean, I don't think it is fair.
This is a situation where all the populace of Los Angeles and Hollywood are interested, and if we must continue under these conditions, our elUciency is going to be very greatly impaired.
I would suggest that this committee prevail upon the postmaster who. I understand, in every community, has charge over the Federal building, and make provisions for a larger hearing room. Either that or I will have to limit the number of people who can attend the hearing.
We stand recessed until 2 p. m.
(At 11 : 55 a. m., a recess was taken until 2 p. m. of the same day.)
AFTERNOOIsr SESSION
INIr. K-EARNS. The hearing will come to order. Mr. Counsel you w411 proceed.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, at this time I believe there is a record of some testimony that was taken in this connection which I should like to have received and marked as a reference exhibit.
We have here a stenographic record of the proceedings of the Screen Actors Guild at a meeting on October 24, the day before the conversation with the committee on arbitration, and a meeting of the Screen Actors Guild on October 26, 1946, the day after the conversation, and we will ask that these four volumes be marked as reference exhibits.
(The volumes referred to were marked "Exhibits 11-A, 11-B, 11-C, and 11-D," respectively, and will be found in the files of the committee. )
TESTIMONY OF RONALD REAGAN AND EDWARD ARNOLD— Continued
Mr. McCann. I understand, Mr. Reagan, that Mr. Murphy and others testified at these meetings, did they not ?
Mr. Reagan. Yes.
Mr. McCann. So we will find some of the testimony of some of the other actors who were not present in this record ?
Mr. Reagan. Yes.
Mr. Kearns. No objection.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, it is the thought here that we should try to expedite things a bit and keep the same subject matter under discussion for a while rather than wandering into another field by having the actors-guild witnesses here, and when we are finished, I understand that Father Dunn had a conversation in Chicago with some of them, and we want to call him, and following that we will call the three men who acted as arbiters in this matter and let them take the stand while these men are present so we can put them back on the stand if there is any rebuttal.
Proceed, Mr. Reagan.
