D., has been postponed by Seventh Judicial Circuit Court in South Dakota to the term starting Nov. 1. The station had charged it was pressured into signing a SESAC contract, that the rate charged is not the same as that paid by other stations in its category [Broadcasting, April 25], and that SESAC is not qualified to enter into contracts in the state. In answering the station's allegations, SESAC contends its contract negotiations with KOTA were carried on in New York or in interstate commerce. It holds the station is estopped from asserting infirmities in the contract because it has exercised its license and has held "itself out to its advertisers and prospective advertisers as authorized" to use such license. SESAC's reply asks that the KOTA counter-claims be dismissed and that it be granted judgment. The reply was filed for SESAC by Bangs & McCullen and Robert W. Gunderson, its counsel in Rapid City. General counsel for SESAC is Victor E. Whitlock, of Holm, Whitlock & Scarff, New York. Western SESAC counsel is David R. Milsten, of Milsten, Milsten, Johnston & Morehead, Tulsa. Representing KOTA is the firm of Bottum & Bottum. A CHICKEN IN EVERY POT!
