Saroyan play. When Draper asked the producers about
this, he was assured that the House Un-Americans would
regard with suspicion any Hollywood lm inwhich the
word worker appears. _

_ This is the road back--the road to disaster. At the
end of it ' ' ' 'dldyas/X8/H 1'18! y co screen art-controlled, asA cotggproducer o_ _ osslire, observes in the cur-rent issue o creen Writer, by "committees which in pre-
telldillg $0 defend, actually subvert our democratic way."
The alternative which Scott recommends to his fellow
producers is to give the American people what they have
always wanted and today more than ever want. And that
is, pictures which touch their lives, illuminate them, bringunderstanding. - ' _
Scott warns the picture-makers: If we retreat now,
because of our own doubts, not only do we do a great dis-
service to the American audience, but we do a most pro-
found disservice to ourselves. For this Fear we've he-
come accustomed to-this adjustment we have made to
taboos-are the allies of _the Thomas Committee, theTenney Committee, and their stooges, within and withouthe industry. "
Ithe name ot Stalin or Molotov in it, it would do practically
no business anywhere in Europe.
_ Draper reported the conversation to the Cagneys. A
second compromise was the result. The line was ordered
changed to read: Who is Kilroy--he caiit push me
around. This was a retreat into pure and simple non-
sense. A proper substitute, my informant writes,
would have been a contemporary reactionary or fascist;
as was intended in the original Saroyan version written
when Hitler was still in power." ' IHe addsz» While this marriage of reaction is going,l . 01!, we ve got to speak now--or we'll b f d t if A -92 ,___,_no]d our e er e orce o 0l'89281I clgll-l6BiT9E7:e'nl h

The April 27, 1935 issue of the San Francisco"Chronicle", carried an article written by Katherine Hill.
The article announced that the picture, "G-Men", had openedon the previous day at the Harfield Theater with James Cagneyas its star. It said that the picture was the gagster themein reverse, inasmuch as the heroes were the Department ofJustice men. Hill said that the picture removed all pretenseof glamour from the puhlic enemy, but still managed to createhugely effective entertainment, all on the right side of the
law. The article stated that the picture showed how finger-prints are matched, and how the telltale markings on ammunition
are checked. It also reveals a part, at least, of the machineryby means of which "cool headed, carefully trained men are able
to outguess_hoodlums".
The picture gives Cagney, a former public enemy numberone, a new role as a two-fisted Government Agent operatingagainst criminals. The article continues, giving a resume of
the story depicted in the picture.

Tne six, nimed by Doctor Jo- ,n B. iettgets, rormer Communist
"fellou trev ler" were:,,Cl1rk Gable, Robert Taylor, JaL¬8 Cagney,
kiriem Hopkins, Bette.Davis and Shirley Templ¬»
Accoroing to tne'artic1e, iatthews said "No one I nope, is
going to claim tnat anyone of t ese persons in garticuler is e Com-

Times Herald" carried the column entitled "Little Old ew
York" by Ed Sullivan. In his column Sullivan printed an
interview with James Cagney concerning the charge that
Cagney was a Com unist. In the interview Cagney told
Sullivan that he had never been a Communist, a Nazi sym-
pathizer or a Fascist sympathizer. He described himself
as a liberal Democrat and said that he was planning on
voting for President Roosevelt. Concerning the charges
made afainst him, Cagney said that they resulted from
a donation that he made to aid the wives and children of
the men who were on strike in the San Joaquin Valley.
He said that it was charged that he gave the money because
he was a Conxunist. The interview took place in Iex York
City and Cagney stated that he was flying to San Francisco
to see .=rman Dies.
