1194 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. Michel. Which Mr. Skouras, sir ? There are several Mr. Skou- rases, sir. Mr. McCann. I am reading Mr. Bodle's question. Is Mr. Bodle present ? Mr. Michel. Which one? Charlie Skouras? He is the one who runs the West Coast Theaters. Mr. McCakx. You have already stated all of the stock of the West Coast Theaters belongs to 20th Century-Fox. Mr. Michel. That is right, sir. Mr. McCann. Is Mr. Skouras an officer of the West Coast Theaters? Mr. Michel. Charles P. Skouras is an officer of the West Coast Theaters. He is president. Mr. McCann. I think that satisfies his questions without repeating them. Questions now by Mr. Cobb: Did you direct your Mr. Meyer to consult your attorney and ask for his advice ? Mr. Michel. I said so before. Mr. McCann. That is correct, but I am reading them anyway be- cause they have asked them here. Mr. Michel. All right. Mr. McCann. Was Mr. Alfred Wright your attorney? You have so stated. Mr. Michel. That is right. Mr. McCann. Please state whether you were advised that in the labor committee meeting of September 23, 1946, Mr. Wright stated, "The studios cannot morally or legally assign maintenance men who never have worked as journeymen on sets to set work." Mr. Michel. I don't know anything about that. If Mr. Wright said that, I don't know anything about it. Mr. McCann. That is all of the quetsions submitted. Mr. Kearns. Mr. Michel, I want to thank you for your appearance and the contribution you have made. We will stand adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. (Whereupon, at 4:55 p. m., an adjournment was taken until 10 a. m. of the following day, Thursday, February 19, 1948.)
