Elects KPQ's Wallace President Jim Wallace, KPQ Wenatchee, was elected president of the Washington State Assn. of Broadcasters at a March 28-29 meeting, held at Washington State College, Pullman. Other officers elected were W. W. Warren, KOMO Seattle, vice president, and Allen Miller, KWSC Pullman, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Frank Stanton, CBS president, and Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (DWash.) headed a list of speakers. The sessions included a sales clinic coordinated by Pat O'Halloran, KPQ, and Cal Watson, KWSC. Clinic speakers included Martin Boss, Pacific National Adv. Agency, Spokane, Wash.; Dean Eugene Clark, Washington State College School of Economics & Business; John Agostino, KXLY-AM-TV Spokane, and John Condon, KTAC Tacoma. Charles H. Tower, NAB labor relations manager, told the Washington group that radio and tv stations generally are maintaining advertising revenues though competition is stiffer. He found a higher turnover among advertisers, shorter term commitments and more station effort and expense involved in maintenance of volume. He said it is fair to assume broadcasting will follow trends applicable to overall advertising expenditures unless its growth pattern and effectiveness in moving goods and services more efficiently are strong enough to make up the difference. Other speakers included W. R. Twining, of Hamilton, Stubblefield, Twining & Assoc., San Francisco, and Ron Murphy, managercounsel of the association. The association board includes Len Higgins, KTNT Tacoma; Saul Haas, KIRO Seattle; Wallace Reid, KORD Pasco; William Taft, KRKO Everett; Tom Bostic, KIAM Yakima; Rogan Jones, KVOS Bellingham; Dick Jones, KXLY Spokane, and Otto Brandt, KING Seattle.
