4/7/44 : TRADE NOTES The War Labor Board will hear arguments today (Friday) by the musicians and record manufacturers in the Petrillo case in a session which was postponed from April 4th. The hearing was granted in response to a protest on the part of the .American Federation of Musicians against the recent report of the New York WLB panel which in effect found Petrillo *8 recording ban, in effect, a strike. The installation of new electric connections, both urban and rural, has been curtailed to protect productive capacity re¬ quired for the manufacture of radio and radar transformers for dir¬ ect military use, the Office of War Utilities of the War Production Board has announced. Radio and radar transformers are manufactured with the same facilities and labor as small distribution transformers for electric utilities. The Office of War Utilities recently imposed stringent controls over placement by utilities of purchase orders for all new transformers, sizes five KVA and smaller. Also, transformers for military radio and radar equipment are made in the same plants as ballasts and transformers for fluorescent lighting equipment. Because of this situation, the increase in requirements for radio and radar transformers, estimated at 50 percent higher this year than in 1943, is conflicting with production of the products for lighting equipment, so that the lighting fixture ballast and transformer industry has voluntarily curtailed production of types and sizes not in general demand. Loyola University, New Orleans, ^a,, has asked the FCC for a construction permit for a new High Frequency Broadcast Station to be operated on 44,900 kilocycles. The Federal Trade Commission has ordered that its com¬ plaint against Thomas Leeralng & Company, Inc. , New York City, be dismissed. The complaint charged that the respondent disseminated, by means of newspapers, circulars and radio broadcasts, false and deceptive representations concerning the therapeutic properties of its medicinal preparation designated ’*Baume Ben-Gay ”, which it rec¬ ommends for external application in the treatment of various painful conditions of the body. The St. Lawrence Broadcasting Corporation of Ogdensburg, N.Y, has applied to the FCC for a new M station construction permit. The Industrial Instrument Industry Advisory Committee has notified War Production Board representatives that essential commit¬ ments of this industry directly and indirectly related to the specified urgent war programs could not be fulfilled unless con¬ sideration is accorded irreplaceable skilled technicians and ex¬ perienced engineers in the Industry, WPB said. xxxxxxxxx 11
