Two Moviewriters Settle
DAMAGE Suit With MGM
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.-Two
of Hollywood's ''Unfriendly Ten,' >
Screen Writers Dalton Trumbo
and Lester Cole, have settled out
of court their 100000 damage
suits against Metro Goldwyn-
Meyer studio.
This was disclosed yesterday
after Federal Judge William
Mathes signed orders dismissing
the case and declared that the
writer's had withdrawn their long
pending actions.
Both sued for back wages after
the studio suspended them when
they refused to answer the 1948
House Un-American Activities
Committees questions regarding
the Communist movement in
Hollywood.
Cole won Federal Court judg-
ment for $150,000, but the decision
later was reversed in appellate
court. Trumbo's $250,000 suit
never came to trial.
MGM acknowledged that set
tlement had been reached, but
neither the studio nor attorneys
for the writer's would state the
amount.
