SIROVICH BILL GOES OVER
The serious illness of Chairman Sirovich of the House Patents and Copy¬ rights Committee was responsible for the postponement of Calendar Wednesday this week with the result that the Sirovich Copyright Bill (H.R. IO976) did not come up for consideration in the House.
The postponement does not affect the position of the Patents Ccmmittee call, and since there is not likely to he another Calendar Wednesday before adjournment, the bill will come up for action early next December.
After it became known that Chairman Sirovich was too ill to handle the bill on the floor a decision was reached favoring postponement. House lead¬ ers were informed that the postponement was acceptable to the broadcasters, but even so, when the motion to displace Calendar Wednesday was offered near the close of Tuesday's session, more than a score of Congressmen went to the well of the House to object. It was not until Congressman Chindblom ex¬ plained that the postponement was acceptable to the broadcasters that objec¬ tion was withdrawn.
Never has the broadcasting industry displayed such great strength in the House. It is on maintaining this strength in Congress that we must de¬ pend for the ultim.ate solution of our problem, and the results of the past three weeks show what the broadcasters can do when they get together.
