NEW SIROVICH COPYRIGHT BILL
A new copyri^t bill under which broadcasters would be given complete pro¬ tection against combinations of copyright ovmers was introduced in the Hoi''.se this week by Chairman Sirovich, of the House Committee on Patents and Copyrights.
An attempt will be m.ade to have the House pass the Dill with the broadcasters provision included before adjournment which may come within the next two weeks.
The copyright bill which was sent back to conmittee on May 24 did not give broad¬ casters adequate protection although the Association was prepared to introduce amendments from the floor of the House. The bill, however, did not reach the point where amendjTients could be offered.
The new copyright bill throws a new liglit on the whole copyright legisla¬ tive situation.
TO 'LL PRINT THIS ONE
Thousands of letters are received by stations daily commending American broadcasters for the programs offered and expressing their appreciation for the entertainment and enjoyment they receive. The NAB Bulletin rarely publishes such letters but here is one received, by Station WPTF which deserves mention. The letter si:§ned by W. F. Dillard of Hamlet, N. C. follows in part:
"While I am writing this letter, let me tell you that I am not in sym.pathy with these people who object to advertising talk in radio pro¬ gramme. I ami sure that the radio programs offered to us Americans are the finest to be heard anywhere in all the world, and they are made possible at great expense by those who sponsor the programs. I am highly appreciative of almost all of vme.t comes to me by way of my radio, and in return for it I arri not only willing to listen to the ad¬ vertising talk, but I v;ill also endeavor to at every opportunity pa¬ tronize those who sponsor programs."
EDUCATORS ADOPT RESOLUTION
The following resolution was adopted by the National University Extension Association at its convention in Minneapolis on May 13:
"The National University Extension Association resents the activities of certain interests to limit the development of education by radio and desires to call the attention of the public at large to the fact that public interest, con¬ venience, and necessity may best be served by increasing rather than decreasing the broadcasting facilities of educational institutions; and that a copy of this resolution be sent immediately to the Federal Radio Commission."
