I notice in looking over the record of the Angust and September 1946 meetings, that apparently you attended all of those meetings. Mr. Sax. Yes, sir. Mr. McCaxx. I do not see as yet Avhere Mr. Freston attended any of them. Did he attend an}'of them? Mr. Sax. I am sure he attended some of the meetings, although I do not know Avhether the record would show it. Mr. ZoRX. The record shows that he attended a number of them, but ]i()t all of them. Mr. McCaxx. I notice that on the 22d day of August 1046 you are shown to be present and tliat Mr. Freston is not shown to be present on that day. Do you recall when Mr. Walsh came before the meeting and issued his position with respect to the clarification? Mr. Sax. Yes; I believe I do. Mr. McCaxx. Do you recall he said at that meeting that if any pro- ducer deviated from the three-man decision of December 26, lt)46, that the IA would cut off production in the studios, in the exchanges, and in the theaters? ]Mr. Sax. I think that was said; yes. Mr. McCaxx. That is your recollection? Mr. Sax. I think so; yes. I attended so many meetings I am not sure of exactly which one it was. Mr. McCaxx. I am not asking that you should remember word by word what was said, but you were present and heard him make a state- ment in substance to that effect ? Mr. Sax. I think that was said; yes. Mr. McCaxx. After that meeting to whom did you I'eport what was said ? Mr. Sax. Whatever was reported I would discuss with Mr. Freston. He. in turn, would discuss it with Mr. Warner, or I might also discuss it with Mr. Warner. Mr. McCaxx. Do you recall that after the meeting at which Mr. Walsh gave this message to the producers talking to Mr. Freston about it? Mr. Sax. I probably did. If it was important enough I would dis- cuss it with him; yes. Mr. McCaxx. Do you recall whether you talked to Harry Warner about it ^ Mr. Sax. I don't think I discussed it with Harry Warner.
