Opponents of the Sirovich Copyright Bill (H.R. IO976) are making a deter¬ mined fight to block Calendar Wednesday to prevent consideration of this mea¬ sure by the House of Representatives. They fear that the amendment to be offered by Congressman Chindblom of Illinois, to protect both broadcasters and the public against copyright combinations, will be adopted if the bill is permitted to come to a vote.
It becomes important therefore that broadcasters and other proponents of the copyright measure must take every precaution against any plan to dispense with Calendar Wednesday business.
Members are requested once again to follow the announcements which have been sent out by Mr. Schuette, who has been directing the broadcasters' copy¬ right activities.
Calendar Wednesday was dispensed with this week and the private calendar substituted therefor but leaders in the House have promised that the coming week's Calendar Wednesday will not be taken away from the Patents and CopyRights Comiaittee.
Congress is nearing adjournment and should opponents of the Sirovich Bill be successful in sidetracking its consideration this week, it will have to go over until next December. And the Society's moratorium ends on September 1.
