Charge Influence On Disc Jockeys

WASHINGTON (UPI) — A congressional investigator said today that it is “deceptive” for disc jotkeys to hold secret financial interests in record or music publishing companies. Rep. John B- Bennett (R-Mich.) top GOP member of the House subcommittee which exposed TV quiz show scandals, said he favored “getting rid of all deceptive practices in broadcasting." Subcommittee staff investigators have been looking into charges that outside financial interests have influenced disc jockeys in their selection of music, that is broadcast. The House group has sent an investigator to Philadelphia to “look into a situation” involving TV star Dick Clark, idol of teenagers. Took No “Payola” The American Broadcasting System, which carries Clark’s shows,' said a network investigation showed that Clark was not guilty of taking “payola”—a music world expression meaning payoffs to plug songs. ABC said, however, that Clark had agreed in accordance with new network policy to divest himself of his music publishing and record companies in order to avoid a conflict of interest. Bennett declined comment on Clark, saying that he was not passing judgment on the merits of any individual case. But he said the subcommittee’s Inquiry was in the public interest. “The subcommittee is very properly going into the area of disc jockeys to discover what kind of practices have been carried on and to get rid of them,” Bennett

" , In concluding bearings on the rigging of TV quiz shows 11 days ago, subcommittee C hair ma n Oren Harris (D-Ark.) placed in the record a complaint from song writers that the selection of music for broadcasting has been influenced through a number of irregular practices by song pluggers, including bribery of disc jockeys.
