MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 363
Mr. SoRRELL. Yes, I talked to Mr. Green: but, as I told you, Mr. Oreen gave me the go-back to the committee. I didn't get much out of Mr. Green, nor I didn't get much out of Mr. Meany.
Mr. McCann. I think that that is all, Mr. Chairman. If there are any questions to ask, I would be glad to submit them to him. Are there any questions, Mr. Luddy?
Mr. Luddy. None.
Mr. McCann. I have a question which is submitted by the counsel for the Screen Actors Guild. In the meetings at the Hotel Knickerbocker, which took place directly after the Chicago meetings — you made several statements about what took place — did you ever make any statement at those meetings concerning pressure by the actors on the three men ?
Mr. SoRRELL. Well, I don't know as I ever did make any statement. I am not in the habit of making statements about pressure on anybody, and nobody asked me, and the actors all knew it.
I didn't talk about the actors in that meeting, if that is what you mean. I mean, there was a complete diversified — our minds were not the same in that meeting. I was very positive in the way I felt about the interpretation of my conversations with these men, and the actors were very positive the other way.
Mr. McCann. I have a question here, submitted by Mr. Burman, which I think is inappropriate. I want to pass it to the chairman, so he can see what I have turned down. If the chairman feels it should be asked, I will be glad to do so, but I think it is inappropriate.
Mr. ICearns. Mr. Counsel, I would like to answer the attorney. I think this would be more appropriate coming at a later time, when we get to that.
Mr. McCann. It is not an attorney. That comes from a radio commentator.
Mr. Kearns. Then I will tell the radio commentator that, no doubt, that will be brought out for us when we hear the labor side. I would rather not inject it into this.
Mr. McCann. I didn't think that was appropriate at this time.
Mr. Kearns. All right.
Mr. McCann, That is all, Mr. Sorrell, at this time. Thank you very much.
Mr. Chairman, shall we adjourn until after lunch?
Mr. Kearns. Xo: I have granted Mr. Doherty 5 minutes to give a response to Mr. Hartley's message to the hearing this morning, so I will hear Mr. Doherty at this time.
TESTIMONY OF "WILLIAM C. DOHERTY— Recalled
Mr. Doherty. ]\lr. Chairman, I want to make the record clear, that Congressman Fred A. Hartley of New Jersey has always been a very good friend of the letter carriers and other postal people.
During the night I received many long-distance telephone calls from letter carriers, from my family, all asking the same question : "AVliat has Fred Hartley done to you?" All asking, of course, if I was walking on my head in Los Angeles, and it became increasingly difficult to convince my mother and father in Cincinnati, my wife and nine children in Washington, that I was competing with the world's greatest actors out here.
