...Dore Schary, RKO's earnest, gifted executive vice president in charge of production, was out (TIME, July 12). Like a thousand bumblebees in a clover field, the buzz of Hollywood speculation hung on the question of who would succeed Schary. Secretive Howard Hughes would not say.

He refused to hear Producer Dore Schary as a character witness, ruling that Lawson's character and political beliefs were not at issue.
