jury in May. E. ]. Prevatte,
named by the county commits
sioners to serve the interim

indictment, Stanaland ran for the
office of State senator. according

called that he was defeated by

stiff opposition by a Republican

vent certain questions from
being asked.
Johnston On Stand
Eric Johnston, president of
the Motion Picture Association,
was on the stand at the time.
He said that no one in that as
sociation had asked that the in
vestigation be postponed or that
any person not be called to
testify.
The high point. clearly. came
when Lawson bluntly and loudly
defied the committee.
Voices rose. Tempers scared
like skyrockets. A gavel beat a
steady tattoo.
Back among hundreds of other
spectators 20-odd movie actors.
actresses and other Hollywood
figures Lauren Bacall,
Humphrey Bogart, Eve y n
Keyes, Paul Henreid-stretched
for look.
They were among a group fly
ing here to protest the commit
tees procedure.
Four times Lawson was given
a chance to say whether he is or
ever has been Communist
n.rtv member. Four times he
challenged the committees right
to inquire into such things.
Chairman ]. Parnell Thomas
(R-ND roared that the COM
mittee would get its answer
if it took "all week." But in a
matter of moments, Thomas an
grily elected Lawson from the
witness stand. Then Thomas and
other committee members voted
! to start contempt proceedings
against the witness.
Things were more peaceful
when Eric Johnston started off
the afternoon session and said
that when he first took over as
president of the Motion Picture
Association of America, pro-
ducers turned down his sugge
ton that they not hire proven
communists.
That was a couple of years
ago.
Johnston said the reasons
were fear of legal troubles, on
grounds they might be soon
spiring" to keep people out of
Jobs, and the difficulty of prov
ing somebody is communist.
