It has been a big job and each ear of corn bad to be manicured «nd you might have missed a few. but there is a satisfaction that the job 1s done.

The magnitude at the financial increase and the type of music Included in th* ASCAP grip has aligned a large part of the public on the side of the broadcasting companies When the Xmerican Society of Composers. Authors and Publishers was formed the IHirpose of live movement seemed laudable in providing protection for those who otherwise might have, derived little return on their work This was especially true of currently popular souk hit*. If played on the air almost continually for several weeks a composition would become nearly worn out for popular consumption before the composer could realise adequate linan<-|al return. The radio curtailed th* life of a “hit" tune from mor* than a year lo a few weeks. Power usually grows by what It feeds on in this country and the : controlling forces in ASCAP have rapidly Increased their Uster demands. Not only have they doubl- ' *d their price on permission to i play the so-called "bit parade" ’ tunes, but they have added thous- ' and* of old-timer* to the list. One I of ASCAP* spokesmen- doing a ■ bit of wishful thinking, say* that I "the music sent over the air tslnce r Jan. 1) ha* been atrocious." The r listening public probably has not i- not.'ved -ny material difference.— I Indianapolis Htar. — . <>.- .. ... - *~TODAY iFcOMMON EHKOK « p “Finally" Is not prouowttcod e ; M is fi -uel-y
