ovieContempt
Case Heard by
DC. Grand Jury
Testimony Begins
On House Request for
Action Against Ten

A District grand jury today began
hearing testimony which Govern
ment prosecutors hope will result IN
indictments of 10 Hollywood writ
ers, producers and directors on
charges of contempt of Congress.
Robert E. STRIPPING, chief counsel
for the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, was the first
witness. At the committees request
the House recently voted to cite
10 motion picture personalities for
contempt on the ground that they
refused to answer questions about
Communist affiliation.
The grand jury is the same which
for the last 10 days has been in
vestigating the wartime financial
activities of Maj. Gen. Bennett E.
Myers, retired Air Force deputy pro-
curement chief.
Stenographers to Testify.
Presentation of evidence in the
alleged contempt of Congress cases
is expected to be completed this
afternoon. United States Attorney
George Morris Fay and Assistant
United States Attorney William
Hitz said the only witnesses would
be Mr.. STRIPPING and three official
stenographers who took the record
of testimony at hearings before the
committee in October. 1t was indi-
Gated that these witnesses would
testify as to what happened when
the 10 men were asked by the COM
mittee to tell whether they were
Communists.
Mr.. Hitz has had considerable eX-
perience in presenting cases of this
kind to grand juries. He handled
the contempt case against Gerhard
Eisler, who has been described as
the top Communist agent in the
United States. Eisler was convicted
later by a District Court jury and
has appealed to the United States
Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Hitz also was in charge of the
successful prosecution of Benjamin
Fields, who was convicted last sum-
mer on a charge of contempt of q
House committee investigating sur
plus property disposal.
Names of 10 Involved.
The 10 Hollywood men involved
in the present case are John How
ard Lawson, writer; Ring Lardner
jr., writer; Samuel Ornitz, writer
Adrian Scott, producer; Edward
Dmytryk, director; Lester Cole
writer; Herbert Biberman, producer
and director; Alva Bessie, writer
Dalton Trumbo. writer, and Alber
Maltz, writer.
At the committee hearings they
asserted that they answered al
proper questions, but that the com.
mittee had no right to question
them about political affiliations.

duced in Zion, Illinois, each
year from Easter to the end of

of the Church selected Harry
Shigeta as the one man spirit
ually and artistically qualified
to do full justice to a motion
picture of such deep religious

es and schools, and by reli-
gious and educational groups
of all denominations.
Elder Jabez Taylor, produc-
er and director, has delegated
responsibility of photograph
ing the play to Shigeta. He
will be assisted by his wife,
Nobu, and a host of photo
graphic friends in Chicago
and the Middle-W est. Both
camera and recording equip
ment have been ordered and
will be custom-made for this
movie. The camera will be
built by Maurer, who will also
furnish the sound recording
equipment, and a "zoomar"
lens for convenience in rapid
ly shifting from a general
view to a closeup through it's
ability to change focal length
and at the same time auto
matically adjust the dia-
phragm for correct exposure.
Lighting will be by $4,000
Kelvin bulbs which will be in
stalled in the stage lights and
fixtures as we'll as in auxiliary
spot and flood lights. Sound
will be recorded as a variable
width track on the 16 nm Ko-
dachrome. The motion picture
will not be made during &C
tual performances of the Pas
sion Play but on Saturdays,
Sundays, and evenings during
the year that will be required
to complete the 80 scenes that
are contemplated.
Color pictures of the Zion
Passion Play are not a new ex-
perience to Harry Shigeta.
