BVC Ci itt'lion GoHimbra Records executives are highly amused over an RCA-Victoi style of advertising artists that Columbia has used for some months. In the current Life mag, for examplei tlrere are full-page ads by both Colum- bia and RCA, and the two are so close in layout methods that if one did not look clo.sely enough at the label credits one would think botli ads were by the same company (assuming lavmen readers do not know at first glance which artists are under contract to which company). Dave Dreyer emphatically denies a report that he has ideas of goins into the misic publishing business on his own, or that he was at any time interested an the Chelsea, Saunders or Viking catalogs owned by Irv Gwirtz. Some conversation went on between him and Gwirtz, its ad- mitted; but he claims he never had any intention of leaving his current post as general manager of Irving Berlin, to take over the three companies on his own hook.
