He could not argue with their commercial success, but he deplored their pranks, their work habits and the hours they kept. He consistently butted heads with the two.

They never testified before the committee, but on a HUAC questionaire, when asked if they ever were members of a "subversive organization," they wrote-in, "Yes. Warner Brothers."
