protection to iDroadcasters against extortionate fees. Partly as a result of that telegram to all stations, to which hroadcasters effectively responded, the hill has been recommitted to the Sirovich committee, and it is now our hope that the hill or the Copyright Act of 1909 will he promptly amended as requested.
Under direction of the Plenary Committee, a study of posslhle sources of music, including records, not controlled hy the Society is being made with a view toward preparing lists of available music and records for all broadcasters to be used in event a satisfactory settlement is not made v;lth the Society.
To centralize this phase of its work, the Plenary Committee is employing a copyright expert to prepare lists of available and usable non-Society music.
To carry on this work, money is needed. After sounding out a number of broadcasters by mail and otherwise, the Plenary Committee has suggested and the Board of Directors has approved a scale of contributions to be requested from all stations. This scale appears below. Prom it you can readily determ¬ ine the pro-rata share of your station.

(Por stations licensed to use more than one EW at night, the scale is arbitrarily pitched 'without regard to quota units. Stations of 2^ KV7 or more and which divide time should pay in proportion to their time division, i.e., 1/2 time, half the amount stated; 4/7 time, 4/7 the amount stated, etc. "Daytime" stations should pay one -half the amount set for a full-time station of the same pov/er. "Limited" time stations, those having more operating time than "Daytime" or half-time stations, should pay ~^hree-fifth-S of the rate for a full-time station of the same power.)

Por stations using one KW or less power at night, the scale is pitched on a basis of |500 per quota unit, as published by the Pederal Radio Commission in "Radio Broadcast Stations in the United States" edition of January 1, 1952. limited time, daytime and sharing-time stations of one EW pov/er and under can estimate their share by multiplying |500 by the quota charged to their respec¬ tive stations. Por example, KPUL, Galveston, Texas, is charged .3; therefore, its contribution to the defense fund on this basis -would be |150, with down payment and monthly payments in proportion to those set out in the above scale.
