-iw DAILY : Video Pool Would Bar Para. Pickups (Continued from Page 1) prevent a recurrence during the forthcoming Democratic National Convention. Para, officials offered "no comment" Friday, nor were the contents of the broadcasters' letters divulged. It was learned, however, that "certain steps" toward preventing the pickup are outlined in the letter, steps described by a trade source as "being short of legal action." While the warning was directed specifically at Para., it is understood to be all-inclusive in that any and all establishments charging admission for entertainment, etc., will necessarily come under the so-called ban.

Marshall Rerognlzes Johnston Quota Plea (Continued from Page 1) simply that the matter had been referred to London. Pointing out that Ambassador Lewis Douglas had been advised to take the matter up with the British, Marshall said "we shall see if we can't have Mr. Johnston's proposal acceded to." This was a more definite commitment than had hitherto been made by any official of the Department, but correspondents present at the press conference Friday, during which Marshall made his comment, doubted that the Secretary had meant to imply that the Department has already identified itself with the Johnston complaint. 48 Metro Short Subjects Scheduled for 1948-49 (Continued from Page 1) ers: 16 Technicolor Cartoons (including the Tom and Jerry Series) ; four Gold Medal Reprint Cartoons in Technicolor; 10 Pete Smith Specialties; six John Nesbitt Passing Parades and eightFitzpatrickTraveltalks in Technicolor.
