Considering similar moves are WIP and WDAS, WTEL for some Weeks lias had a nix on film material. Don Withycomb, WFIL g.m., de- clared, 'It's abppt time we broad- casters woke: up. For years Holly- wood has. been taking the bread and plugged along year after year wait- ing for the neverrappearing bone of a commercial contract. And then, when the larder is'full, radio gets the doghouse. From now on, as far as we arc concerned,' free, plugs for movies are out. 'If broadcasters all oyer the coun- try would follow along the same line,' Withycomb continued, 'Holly- wood would Arid but how much an asset radio is in keeping it going.' Motion pictures may be your, best entertainment, as the. magnates tell you. but if it weren't for radio a lot fewer people would know, it.'

Stevens, received orders to .cut it at once, The other 15 minutes a day of film stuff is' a commercial by Barbara Young for John Davis, fur- riers.
