McCue, executive secretary of the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, yesterday took issue with the contention of three members that the union is ceding its prerogatives in subjecting them to possible disciplinary action for failure to answer questions on Communist party membership.

The three members are Libby Burke; Murry Wagner and Shimen Ruskin, who are to appear before a hearing of AFTRA's board of directors Monday because they failed to answer questions on Communist Party membership propounded to them at the recent House Un-American Activities Committee hearing. The members had charged the union with "attempting to dictate the private behavior of its members," and "going side its sphere as a bargaining agent." McCue, in his statement, asserted that "appearance before the House Un American Activities committee is not a matter of 'private Quite to the contrary, the hearings have been extensively covered by radio, television and newspapers. A witness who refuses to disown Communist Party membership is quickly identified by the public. Extreme ill will results in the general public toward the witness and toward any organization in which he is an active member." He contended lack of union action in the case of the three members would weaken the union's bargaining power and create disunity. The rule requiring members to answer Communist Party membership was by of the members, he said.

This, I think, has a geographical origin.

California is separated from the rest of the country by mountains and deserts and went its own way. So it is with Catalonia in Spain, which is separated by a desert from Aragon."
