"It is advantageous te their ca

they won't get opportunities. '
The testimony came from Vin
cent Hartnett of New York at
hearing of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities. The
committee Is inquiring into a "re
port oa blacklisting" in the en
tertainment world, sponsored by
the Fund for the Republic.
Hartnett testified that, "not
more than i per cent of the com
munlsts In the entertainment bus-
iness have been uncovered." He
said there, were probably 150 Reds
ia the American Federation of Ra
dio and Television Artists IAFR

in Equity and the American Guild
of Variety Artists A(iVA.
TesUmoay Challenged
j Officials of both AQVA and
Equity challenged Hartnett's tes
timony. Jackie Bright, national
administrative secretary of AO
VA. said in New York: "We defy
partnett to show thst there is s
single communist In AGVA, let
alone a communist bloc."
1 In Chicago, where the Ameri
can Federation of Radio and Tele
vision Artists Is holding its con
vention, Donsld- Consway, execu
tive secretary, declined immedi
ate comment on Hartnett s testi
mony. A public relations repre
sentative for the group said, how
ever, that a statement might be
issued later.
Maar AUecatieas
Alfred Harding, assistant to the
president of Actors Equity, said
in New York that "over a period
of 10 years allegations of this kind
have been advanced witn vary
ing degrees of responsibility" and
added:
"Eery member of Adori
Equity Assn. who has been Idea-
tilled la any way la this connec
tion has denied under oath that he
is a communist and no evidence
has been presented whether those
charges are true."
Hartnett told the House roup
tha communists csn command
the support of about 409 members
of AFRTA, but he ssld some of
these are sympsthiters rather
than actual party members. He
said approximately IS members
of AFRTA's New York locsl have

Hsrtnett denounced the "report
on blacklisting" as "dangerous
slanting." He ssld "blacklisting"
was a "nasty term," which he
said had been used by editor John
Cogley aa "a blanket term both
for the good and the evil."

Asserting that Cogley "consis
tently suppresses evidence and
"puts forward distorted versions"
la the report Hartnett said: .
The man is either woefully ig-
aorsnt, or he Is a rogue."
Hartnett described as an out
rageous falsification a conten

self appointed board of "clear
ance men" can have individual
performers blacklisted and then
clear them. .

Many Secret Labels Needless
WASHINGTON Ufl Trevor
Gardner,- former assistant secre
tary of the Air Force, declared
Thursday "at least half" the gov
ernment documents now classified
could be stripped of their secrecy
labels.
Gardner told a House subcom
mittee s million people in the
government csn now wield the
secrecy stamp.
And he said that In one In
stance a scientist of "internation
al reputation" who was denied
security clearance by another
service went to work on a non
secret contract for the Air Force
keeps contributing "secret snd
top secret Ideas."
Gardner testified before a gov
ernment operations subcommittee
investigating information policies
of federal offices. He resigned his
Air Force post earlier this year,
asserting the Pentagon was not
bearing down, hard enough on the
development of guided missiles.
Retired Gcaeral
The subcommittee also heard
retired Lt. Gen. Floyd L. Parks,
who for years served aa Army
chief of Information. He contend
ed present limits on the Army's
publie information funds are ''to
tally inadequate, completely un
realistic and artificial."
Doing away with "this limita
tion." he said, would "remove
one of the major blocks Impeding
tne tree now or information."
Parks said that by last year
Army Information funda had been
cut to $030,000 from past budgets
of about four million dollars.
News Corps Needed
Psrks testified the Army needs
a trained corps of officers to get
news to the public, since military
men arc by experience inclined
to keep information within the
service. Reporters, hs said, should
be allowed to get news directly
from each service rather than go
through the Defense Department.
The retired general formerly
was information officer under five
civilian secretaries and four chiefs
of staff.
"Not one of them," he said,
