Petrillo Eases Grip on Music In Hollywood
Congressional Probe Thought Responsible
By ROBERT M. LEWIN NEA Staff Writer LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7.—The iron
grip of Jimmy Petrillo’s musicians’|
union is melting in movieland from the heat of the Taft-Hartley law and a congressional investigation. The union has quit’ dictating how many musicians the operators of 500 night clubs, restaurants and amusement places must employ. It no longer requires “stand-by” musicians—who get paid, on union orders; for not playing while. an out-of-towner or non-union performer makes with the music. The house labor committee, investigating labor racketeering here, was told that Mr. Petrillo has lifted the ban which prevented union musicians from broadcasting simultaneously over standard and -f(re-quency-modulation radio stations.
Mr. Kearns Beams
In the midst of the subcommittee héaring, local 47 of the union nere announced settlement of its dis-
pute with Earl Carroll's theater-!
restaurant” All of these things made Rep. Kearns (R, Pa), subcommittee chairman, beam like the California sun today. “Remember” emphasized Mr.
Kearns, “Mr. Petrillo also allows student orchestras to broadcast now, and recordings can be made and sent to soldiers and sallors overseas.” Probes Television Conspiracy
The union and Mr, Carroll agreed | to a three-year contract. It sets no minimum number of musicians he must hire, contains a no-strike pledge and ‘a promise that the musiclans would cross picket lines if there were any, The subcommittee now is looking into whether the American Federation of Musicians and Movie Producers may have entered a conspiracy to retard the development of television.

Promises Only Slight Relief
belt farmers crossed their fingers today and prayed for a drenching rain to save thelr struggling crops from serious damage. But the weatherman gave them little hope. The corn ‘crop, beaten down by some of the worst corngrowing weather in years, was in
‘lurgent need of heavy rains within
the next few days. The weatherman could promise only scattered thundershowers. Already considerable damage was reported on the sun-parched prairies where corn, the nation’s basic crop, is grown. Some farmers
compared the hot, dry winds sweep-
ing across their fields with those of the droughts of the middle 1930's. Struck Heavy Blow
The same farmers who hoped for rain today were wishing only a few weeks ago that the rain would stop. The cold, wet spring and the late June floods struck the corn Srop a heavy blow. Thousands of acres of ‘crop land were washed out, and elsewhere the corn crop was set back as much as two weeks. Then came a cool spell —too cool for the best corn-growing iene. | CONAitAONS, Within the last two weeks, a new threat arose in the hot winds and the lack of rainfall, The heaviest damage was reported to corn planted late because of the floods and rain. The roots
{ were not down Heep enough, and in .some flelds\the stalks were toppling
with the wind.
In Iowa, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Clyde Spray said there was a “great deal’ of damage already. He said that many flelds were packed as hard as cement. That. included fields in Marshall county, the tall corn state's second best producer last year with a 69
| bushel per acre average.
