MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 2359

Mr. LE^T. This was extremely interesting to me. You have heard, Mr. Chairmah and members of the committee, the name of Dalton Triimbo. Mr. Dalton Trumbo, I think early in 1942, wrote an open letter to the American people. That open letter, crying for a second front, which was the Connnunist policy at that time, is supported by, among others, Herb Sorrell, president. Conference of Studio Unions.

Among those who were listed in the People's World of June 6, 1944, as opponents of the Green move, is Herb Sorrell, president of the Conference of Studio Unions. I think that ought to be received.

Mr. OwExs. I thought this was in the nature of rebuttal.
