Wendell L. Willkie, defending the
motion picture producers from

a Senate committee, asserted today
the movie makers were engaged in
"the fiercest cut-throat competition
of any industry in the country"

nominee told reporters that instead
of cooperating in a calculated pro-
gram to instill war propaganda into
films, the motion picture companies
were cutting each other to pieces"
in their efforts to put over box
Office successes.
Mr.. Willkie is representing the
movie industry in hearings before a
Senate Interstate Commerce sub
committee on a resolution by Sen
ators Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, and Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri, to investigate reports OF
propaganda in films.
John T. Flynn, newspaper and
magazine writer who testified yes
terday, urged the committee to act
toward breaking up what he charged
was a monopolistic combine operat-
ing a private censorship against the
dissemination of peace appeals while
working to involve this country in
war.

But Mr.. Willkie said that the films

his chief complaint - March of

Mr.. Willkie listed those companies
as 20th Century-Fox, Paramount,
