Poses standing. 19:09:36 Menjou: “I would like to get the terminologies completely straight. Communistic activities; I would rather phrase it Un-American, or subversive, anti-Free Enterprise, anti-Capitalistic. I have seen the Communists stupid enough to try it that way. I have seen in certain pictures things that I didn’t think should been in the pictures. Q: Can you tell the Committee whether or not there has been an effort on the part of any particular group in the motion picture industry to inject Communist propaganda into pictures or to leave out scenes or parts of stories that could serve the Communist Party line? 19:10:35 “I don’t like that word Communist propaganda, because I have seen no such thing as Communist propaganda such as waving thee hammer & sickle. I have seen things that I thought were against what I consider good Americanism...and I have seen pictures that I thought shouldn’t have been made, let me put it that way.” 19:11:10 “I am here to defend the industry that I have spent the greater part of my life in. I am here to defend the producers & the motion picture industry. Now you asked me a question... 19;11:38 Q: “...the title Behind The Iron Curtain.” Menjou: “...is copyrighted by a number of producers; I hope to see the day when this is made. I would like to see an honest, anti-communist picture; and I would like to see it labeled as such...” 19:12:05 Q: What have you heard from Hollywood as to the feeling on the part of the producers about producing Anti-Communist films? 19:12:17 “...I believe that would be an incredible success & if the first picture were made I think it would follow, as we do in Hollywood, that there would be many, many more made. I think it would be a very wonderful thing to see one made. I would like to see a picture of the Bulgarian situation...the brutal beatings, the stabbings, the killings...” 19:12:50 “I believe that there are many people in the picture industry that would not have me in a picture w/ them, I think this has gone very much too far in Hollywood; the line of cleavage is very straight, it is not like a good Republican or a good Democrat, this is a foul philosophy this Communistic thing... 19:13:14 Q: Have you heard or do you know... 19:13:18 “Definitely! I believe that any man who is a decent American & believes in the Constitution of the United States, the free enterprise system that has made this country, given its people the highest standard of living of any country on the face of the earth, I believe that man should be very proud of it, should stand up for it and not be afraid to speak.” 19:13:40 Talks about his boyhood military training at Culver Academy re military training 'It Never Did Me Any Harm I liked the Army.” 19:14:07 Gets up to leave to applause, Hearing room--LS.
