PETRILLO'S EDICT is expected to cost his 233,000 members at least #5 million In wages this year. Why

did he do it? - Two factors influenced him—one . law; the other, a nuisance.

The law is the Taft-Hartley Act, which forbids royalty payments to unions beginning Jan. 1, unless they are co-administered. That wipes out about $2 million a year the Fed-

PESSIMISTS think the music czar will try, by some $ois. of

up huge backlogs of popdiscs—enough, probably, to

benefit, forbids.”

Nothing, except “plug his sponsors and annoy the listener with his silly chatter.” In fact, 40 grand a year is peanuts in the jockey. profession. The| earnings of Martin Block, over a secondary metropolitan station, approximate $25,000 a week. There are hiplenty of others who work more

than they do for themselves.

Neither side would benefit, and the public, as usual, would pay the pills.
