7/26/34 BUSINESS LETTER NOTES George B. Storer, President of the American Broadcasting System, has announced the appointment of Burt McMurtrie a3 Director of Program Operations of the ABS network, effective August 5. Mr. McMurtrie was formerly director of the Commercial Program Department of the Columbia Broadcasting System. William F. Melia has also joined the staff of the American Broadcasting System-WMCA network. His activities will include remote controls and special events. With WMCA since 1929, Mr. Melia transferred to another New York station earlier this year. He will continue to announce only one program, "The Radio Party", on WMCA locally. A lease has been signed which will provide Station KDKA, Pittsburgh with completely modern new studios and offices, which will occupy the entire third floor of the Grant Building in that city. "The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company and the National Broadcasting Company are cooperating to make the new KDKA studios one of the finest broadcasting plants in America", said Richard Patterson, Jr. of NBC. "The present plans call for six studios, each of the largest of which will be adequate to accommodate a huge symphony orchestra. Two other studios will be large enough for small musical ensembles; another will be designed primarily for speakers, and the sixth for electrical transcriptions" Because the local Kuomintang considers that radio broadcasting of songs and entertainment programs "has a tendency to subvert the thoughts of the people", the Bureau of Education has decided to organize a censorship committee in Shanghai. The foreign-owned broadcasting stations situated in the International Settlement and the French Concession will not come under the new regulations, XXXXXXXX 10
