Petrillo Ignores House Hearing On Union Bill James Caesar Petrillo, president of the Ameri can Federation of Musicians, ignored the hearing last Thursday before the House Interstate Com merce Committee on a bill designed to prevent hiri from interfering with non-commercial and cultura broadcasts scheduled by music students. Neithe Mr. Petrillo nor any AFM official appeared befor the committee. Representative Wolverton of New Jersey com mented : "In my 18 years of Congressional servic I have never seen a situation where a man s directly involved in proposed legislation was nc even present or represented when it was up." Representative Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, tol his colleagues on the committee : "Petrillo has bee asking for it and it's about time Congress let hir have it." He flayed Mr. Petrillo for "showing th same defiant attitude toward Congress that h recently exhibited toward President Roosevelt, referring to the AFM refusal to comply with th President's request last year to lift the union ba on recording. The basis of the proposed legislation is a bi passed by the Senate, but several amendments re defining and strengthening restrictions were sug gested and put in the record for further discussioi Joseph F. Maddy, president of the Nation; Music Camp at Interlochen, Mich., which M: Petrillo put on the union's "unfair list" after il high school orchestra had been barred from th air, told the committee Mr. Petrillo's action was "drastic and punitive reprisal." He said it mea that union professors teaching at the camp n longer could do so under pain of suspension fror •the AFM. Paul A. Porter, chairman of the Federal Corr munications Commission, endorsed the objective of the proposed bill, which was sponsored in th House by Representative Dondero of Michigai Mr. Porter said that as a result of Mr. Petrillo' practices, "very severe restrictions are beinor im posed on what may be broadcast." Last week the Missouri legislature considere action to curb Mr. Petrillo. A bill was intrc duced by State Senator H. R. Williams whic would make it unlawful for any person or group t interfere with the presentation, transmission o broadcast of any non-commercial or cultural pre gram by a tax-exempt school or civic organizatior Literary Guild Promotion Set on "Hotel Berlin" One of the most extensive promotion tieups se with the Literary Guild in connection with a fill adapted from a book has been arranged by War ner Bros, on "Hotel Berlin," which was a Literal; Guild selection last year.
