Doherty, director of employer-employee relations for the NAB, will also attend the Geneva talks. The other labor representative on the committee is Paul R. Hutchins, president of the Office Employees International Union (AFL). The AFM's interest in the forthcoming conference centers on the scheduled discussion of "rights of performers in broadcasting, television and the mechanical reproduction of sounds," Kenin said at a press conference in New York yesterday. It had been announced earlier in Geneva that a proposal to abolish all use of canned music in TV, radio and films would be made at the conference, but this is considered a most extreme statement of what is likely to happen.
