Mr. Keakns. Are there any other important questions that need tobe asked ?
Mr. McCx\NN. Mr. Chaiman, I haven't had a chance to check a number of these questions against the rec.ord. In other words, they refer to pages of the testimony.
Mr. Kearns. All right ; we will recess for 10 minutes.
(Short recess taken.)
Mr. Kearns. The hearing will come to order.
Mr. Counsel, do you have further questions ?
Mr. McCann. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I have some more questions. I am looking for the copy of the record that we had here of the telephone conversation. Do you know what has happened to that, Mr. Luddy?
Mr. Price. It is in the daily transcript. Beginning at page 1596^
Mr. McCann. Now, gentlemen, I want to ask if you recall, Mr. Birthright and ]\Ir. Knight — understand these questions are not directed to Mr. Doherty — at that time if you recall these conversations that I will read from the telephone report from the stenographer's report of the telephone conversation which you had with the movie actors on the night of — what ?
Mr, Price. October 25, 1 believe.
Mr. McCann. October 25, 1946. Mr. Reagan now is talking over the phone. I want to ask if you recall this :
I want to ask this one more question : You say he [Mr. Hutcheson] did not like the agreement from the first? Now, what I am trying to get at, was thereany word or was there any idea that your decision of December should be changed lather than clarified?
Mr. Birthright. No.
Is that accurate, Mr. Birthright ? Mr. Birthright. I think so, counsel. Mr. McCann (reading) :
Mr. Reagan. In other words, was there some misunderstanding of the meaning on the part of the carpenters ; or did they want it changed because they knew what it meant and didn't like it?
Mr. Birthright. They didn't like it, of course. But they recognized the socalled 1926 agreement.
Is that correct?
Mr. Birthright. I know they didn't like it. I agree on that. I don't know about the 1926 agreement. I don't recall that, Counsel. Mr. McCann. Mr. Tinsdale speaking :
Mr. Birthright, this is Tinsdale again. I am sorry to keep interrupting and coming back to the same item, but in this copy of August 16, 1946, memorandum, which we have received here, there is one paragraph which starts as follows : ".Turisdiction over erection of sets on stages was awarded to the lATSE." Is that paragraph in the memorandum which you have before you?
Mr. Birthright. No. How does it read following that line?
INIr. Tinsdale. Well, Mr. Birtliright, in this same memoi'andum you have this: "The word 'erection' is construed to mean assemblage of such sets on stages and locations."
Mr. Birthright. Well, we don't have that here.
Mr. Tinsdale. Your memorandum of August 16, 1946, does not read that wayl
Mr. Birthright. No. Where did it come from?
Mr. SoRRELL. If you want to hang on again, I will read the whole thing.
