Rh (On June 9, 1954, the subcommittee received the following information which corrects Mr. Kichhorn’s statement regarding foreign distribution of comics by the American News Co., Inc.)

, New York, N. Y., June 8, 1954.

Hon., Senate Office Building, Washington, D. C.

Dear Senator Hendrickson: On Friday, June 4, I testified before you in the Federal Courthouse here in New York City, At that time, your committee's counsel said that he understood that our company distributed comics in 38 foreign countries. I testified that I did not think this was so, and that distribution of comics of publishers for whom we distributed was made directly to foreign countries by the publisher themselves.

After I returned to the office, ( realized that this was not entirely correct. The publishers do sell copies direct but our company also distributes some copies of comics to dealers in foreign countries,

Attached, you will find a list in duplicate, of foreign countries to which we distribute magazines and on this list we have checked off those countries to which we distribute comic magazines to dealers, We do not distribute all comic magazines that we handle to all of these countries, but we do distribute some copies in each of the countries checked off on the attached list,

I am sending this so you so that the record will be straight and I regret that I did not give you the entire correct picture when I appeared before your committee.

Very truly yours, , Executive Vice President.
