Motion Pictures: Industry Council Again Affirms Stand on Reds. With the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in the film capital quizzing suspected Reds, the industry council again affirms the stand of the film industry against subversives. Representatives from the Association of Motion Picture Producers, the Screen Directors Guild, Screen Writers Guild, and others join to draft a letter to Congress affirming the motion picture industry's opposition to communism, which is then read aloud. Ronald Reagan is among the folks seated next to the Screen Actors Guild placard. Allen Rivkin reads aloud, mentions "clear and present danger" to the United States. Applause.
