TRADE NOTES : :
The Crosley Corporation did a gross business of about $100,000,000 in 1944, virtually all of which was war goods, R. C. Cosgrove, Vice President and General Manager, declared in a year-end statement. No home radio sets or electrical appliances were made.
Looking forward to 1945, Mr. Cosgrove stated that unfilled orders will be produced in the first six months of the year somewhat in excess of the load for the first six months of 1944.
ASCAP began licensing the symphonic and concert field the first of the year. Fred C. Erdman is in charge of this operation for the Society. Mr. Erdman was formerly active in the Artist and Repertoire Department of the Victor Talking Machine Co. In recent years he has been ASCAP' s Eastern Supervisor.
Paul A. Rickenbacher has been appointed Director of Radio and Television of the Foote, Cone & Belding advertising agency in New York. Mr. Rickenbacher joined the agency on SeDtember 1, 1944, as an executive in the agency's Motion Picture Division, and he will continue to be active in this division, which is intimately associ¬ ated both with radio and with the future of television.
Previous to joining his Dresent associates, Mr. Rickenbach¬ er was with Young & Rubicam, and prior to that, with the J. Walter Thompson Comoany. He started his radio career as an actor and announcer with the Don Lee Broadcasting System in 1 929, and became one of the early experimenters in the field of television.
Lee Strahorn, who has been with Foote, Cone & Belding since the agency was founded, will continue as Manager of the New York Radio Department.
The new annual 1944-45 membership and trade directory of the Radio Manufacturers' Association, listing the personnel, products, etc. of the Association's membership reveals a peak record of 227 companies.
The Los Angeles Times has filed application with the Federal Communications Commission for license to own, erect and operate a tele¬ vision station and an FM station. Norman Chandler, President of the Times , said a site has been acquired atop Mount Harvard, adjacent to Mount Wilson.
The regulation governing ceiling prices of mica has been amended to conform with a revision of a War Production Board conserva¬ tion order applying to the commodity, the Office of Price Administra¬ tion announced. The revised WP3 order, effective on January 1,1945, removes several grades from the strategic mica classification.
The amendment is expected to result in ultimate savings to industrial users of fabricated mica, OPA said, since lower quality fabricated mica will now become available for uses in which it is as serviceable as higher cost fabricated strategic mica.
