Helnl Radio News Service 8/7/46 SCISSORS AND PASTE : : Jimmy PetrillO Has E.ye On White House (Westbrook Pegler "King Features Syndicate17) I was having a beer with Jimmy Petrillo one night of late and after some light, insulting banter, Little Caesar said: "Look are you open to a proposition? " "Do you mean what I think you mean?" I answered hopefully. "No", Mr. p. said, "Nothing like that. "It is a clean proposition", he said. "If I get to be President of these glorious United States of A., and it looks like it is going to be me or John L. Lewis, can I count on you for Secretary of Labor? # * # * # I am afraid I will disappoint my great, beloved leader", I said, "but owing to personal considerations and all this and that why to hell with Secretary of Labor or Senator and Judge, too, with deep appreciation of your kind consideration. " p Regular Radio Kee,s Up With Interest In FM (Larry Wolters in Chicago Tribune ") While there is a lot of interest in FM (frequency modula¬ tion) broadcasting, this has not lessened the enthusiasm for stand¬ ard or AM (amplitude modulation) radio. New license applications are just about as numerous in one field as the other, data released by the Federal Communications Commission showed yesterday. Conditional station licenses granted for FM number 456, of which 146 are construction permits. An added 250 applications are pending and 143 are in hearing. The total is 849. A total of 232 construction permits have been granted in the AM field so far this year (there are already more than 900 stand¬ ard stations), either for new stations or other purposes, with 370 applications still pending and another 314 in hearing. The total is 916. The manufacture of FM receivers has not shown the expected accelerated rate. The Radio Manufacturers’ Association reports that the total FM sets turned out in June was only 13,273. The lag in production was attributed to wood cabinet and other shortages. Meanwhile, standard set production in the same month has exceeded the pre-war monthly average of 1,100,000 units, and that figure is still below capacity. 13
