Mr. Schuette said that if ASCAP is dissolved, a nucleus for a clearing house for broadcasters' music would be found in the NAB Radio Program Foundation. He said a lot of Federal Court actions are allowed to go to sleep and that this one shouldn't be allowed to slumber.
J. C. Hostetler, of Cleveland, partner of Newton D. Baker, copyright counsel, also referred to Mr. Mills' interview and said he hoped the latter was correct when he said that sub¬ stantial progress had been made during the past few months in informal conferences between the Composers and the Broadcasters.
"I have no desire to be offensive ", Mr. Hostetler said. "I expect to see Mr. Mills in Nev^r York for further conferences. !t
"We want to treat ASCAP fairly" , said Isaac D. Levy, of Station WCAU, Philadelphia. "We want to treat the composers fairly. We want to pay them what the music is really w^orth and not what Mills thinks it's wrorth.
"We don't want ASCAP to be hammering our heads every time a new contract is made. We want longer time contracts. We don't want them to be demanding another increase before the ink on the contract ws have just signed is dry.
"The ASCAP does some worthy things, such as taking care of composers who are in need and in distress. However, they should pay for this benevolence and not expect us to do it. "
Mr. Levy said the Broadcasters shouldn't be worried about v/here they will get their music if ASCAP is dissolved.
"The Government always gives time to work these things out", the speaker continued. "However, let's stop calling them names. We mustn't have a chip on our shoulder. We must do everything we can to work out an amicable arrangement. If we finally have to fight, it must be to a knockout and don't worry what will happen after that. "
