MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 325
Mr. Price. That is the end.
Mr. McCann. Is that the end of what you are interested in?
Mr. Price. Yes.
Mr. McCann. I will ask you if I have read accurately and whether you recall that conversation, Mr. Birthright and Mr. Knight?
Mr. Knight. Well, Mr. Chairman, when that telephone conversation was proposed I didn't like it because I had had experience to know when vou went into those things there was no end to it. I was told — I don't recall who was talking to me at that time, arranging it — that there was one question. If we could clarify that it would settle the issue out here.
I was satisfied in my own mind when the one question was asked that would call for two, and when the two were asked it would call for four.
AVhen the time came I didn't have any records, not because I forgot, but because I didn't want to have them. Mr. Birthright had this ■original proposed interpretation or clarification, as I understood. Mr. Birthright did most of the talking. I thought I was serving a good purpose by talking just as little as I could. I think the conditions brought out here prove that to be a fact.
Mr. McCann. Could you now answer the question whether I have read that accurately?
Mr. Knight. Noav, as to your reading there, I can't definitely recall. I wouldn't dispute it. I wouldn't deny it. In all probability I will admit that is exactly what occurred. I have been trying to forget all this. I haven't been talking it every day, like these gentlemen out here have, and keeping it before my mind. I would have to have a better memory. I have been trjdng to forget.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Birthright, do you recall I have read this record accurately ?
Mr. Birthright. I couldn't say I recall all you have said is so. I •wouldn't be fair to the committee or myself to say I recall it all. I don't.
Mr. McCann. Now I am reading from the top of page 1611.
Mr. TiNSDALE. Do you have a copy of the memorandum that was sent out here by Mr. Green's office?
Mr. BiKTHEIGHT. No.
Mr. TiNSDAXE. You don't have a copy of President Green's letter to Hutcheson?
TMr. Birthright. No ; I read it over — what he said.
Mr. Skexton. Brother Knight, this is Slselton of the carpenters. We would like to ask you one question. Did you clarify the directive on August 16 with another letter saying that you had? I want to know if the language is correct that he sent out.
Mr. Birthright. I have read you what we sent out.
Mr. Skei^ton. I am referring to the clarification that referred to erection, meaning.assemblage.
Mr. TiNSDALE. Mr. Birthright, I am sorry to keep interrupting, but apparently there is a difference in the language of the memorandum which you have before you and the memoranda which we have.
Mr. Birthright. I have no memoranda. I have the full, actual report.
Mr. TiNSDALE. I see.
Is that enough ? Mr. Price. Yes. Mr. McCann. Do you recall that, Mr. Birthright ?
