June 4, 1932 TirESTEElT GROUP MEETS The Western Broadcasters Association, composed of stations in Oregon, Wash¬ ington and Idaho, will hold a meeting this week for the purpose of devising a plan whereby every station in that group can become affiliated with the !]AB. "I believe that it is very imperative that every one of these stations imme¬ diately affiliate with the National Association and help in the excellent work that is being done," George Kincaid, president of the Western group wrote. SHAW AND HEDGES SPEAK Harry Shaw, president of the NAB, and Y^lliam S. Hedges, member of the NAB executive committee, addressed a meeting of the League of Wisconsin Radio Sta¬ tions at Green Bay, Wis, on May 2^, Herbert Mann of Racine presided at the meeting. The Wisconsin organization was foujided t;70 years ago and has been ac¬ tive in the interests of Wisconsin stations. Nearly all of the members of the League are members of the NAB. HERE'S A GOOD RULE Prank D. Scott, legislative counsel for the RliA, at the conclusion of his annual report to the manufacturers, suggested the following slogan: "Think of your legislative matters twice a day and see your Legislators at least twice a year." HERE'S CAPTAIN KIDD Here's a letter from A. L. McKee of ’7HBU, Anderson, Ind. : "It might be well to warn the members of the activities of William Krug who specializes in a contest either radio or newspaper Icnown as a 'Captain Kidd Con¬ test' . Krug is a man about six feet tall weighing from 240 to 260 pounds, small black mustache, an extremely good salesman, a regular cigar smoker, and with the characteristic aviator line of talk. He specializes in buying four half hour periods and selling the merchants with the radio station's assistance. He makes no request for advance payments on his contract but, lock out', for he has a bad habit of indorsing your checks for himself. "The sheriff of Mt. Vernon, Illinois, has a confidence game warrant against him. The sheriff of Madison County, Ai.derson, has astolen automobile warrant for him, and undoubtedly the sheriff at Evansville has a forgery warrant for him. He claims to be from Oklahoma and is picking on the 100 watt radio stations. Yes, he nipped us but not for much."
