NO PAY FOR VOLUNTEER RADIO PERFORMERS
Col. Phillip B. Fleming, Administrator of the Wage and Hour Law has ruled that persons who appear voluntarily on such programs as ”Man on the Street” and "Quiz Game” broadcasts are not employees of the radio stations within the meaning of the law.
The instructions were issued relative to an order of Sept. 16 relating to sustaining radio programs because of a mis¬ understanding of its scope and the receipt of many inquiries.

ORRECTION
In quoting from the Senate transcript in the article "Tobey Forces Brown to Qpit", in our issue of October 15th, the following was inadvertently attributed to Commissioner T. A. M. Craven ;
»* * # I heard a discussion, apparently coming from the direction where Mr. Brown was sitting; and I noticed that, as a result of that, he was holding the lady's wrist and I was holding it so as to prevent her from apparently attacking him in some form; because she seemed to be rather angry, as a result of the discussion. ”
This was incorrect. What Commander Craven really said was;
"I heard a discussion, apparently coming from the direc¬ tion where Mr. Brown was sitting; and I noticed that, as a result of that, he was holding the lady's wrist and was holding it so as to prevent her from apparently attacking him, in some form; because she seemed to be rather angry, as a result of the discus¬ sion. "
As stated in article, though Commander Craven was in the Club^that night along with Commissioner Case and others, he was not in Colonel Brown's immediate party.
