He Approves--Pickets who protested Monday's Congressional hearing into Communist activities in the film industry didn't show up yesterday. They were replaced in front of the Federal Building, scene of the House Un-American Activities Committee meetings, by this lone picket. His sign read: "I approve of this hearing. Keep smoking out Communists." He gave his name as "John Doe, American."
