Talent Agents Profile Lauded
editor:
"Talent Agents" [Lead Story, Oct. 21] is interesting as well as revealing. . . .
Top agents with their tremendous staffs of "know-how" experts have become such an important force in the life of a star, he can do little else but depend on them. This, I believe, is possibly the outstanding reason why big agents pretty much control tv. As to whether it is right, I cannot say. But, if I were a big star faced with the thousand and one complex problems of our income tax laws, I'd be seeking aid and advice of experts. This, big agents can do and will continue to do until the networks and advertising agents can offer something comparable.

When NARTB becomes rational again with the adoption of good ol' NAB, we will once again be one big happy family. Lester C. Johnson Vice President-General Manager WHBF-AM-TV Rock Island, III.
