URGENT
In order to make a complete and early presentation of the case for radio, NAB urgently needs your answers to the questionnaire on paid WAC Recruitment Advertising sent you on July 20. Please fill out and return the questionnaire immediately.
An analysis of 468 returns shows that 90.4% of the stations are in favor of accept¬ ing paid WAC recruitment advertising. 9.2% expressed themselves as opposed, while 0.4% are in the doubtful category.
CONFERENCE PLANS PROGRESS
Plans for the NAB Executives War Conference to be held in Chicago, August 28 to 31, are crystalizing, according to NAB President Harold Ryan. "There is every indication," said Mr. Ryan, "that our Conference will contribute constructively to ironing out some of our current industry problems and laying the foundation for more helpful coordination of radio's part in the war effort and in the period to follow.

Important government officials, including Army and Navy personnel, have indicated a desire for per¬ sonal consultation with the broadcasters and will attend the Conference. FCC Chairman James Lawrence Fly has accepted an invitation to address the Conference at one of its luncheons. While definite acceptances have not been had from others who are to fill the role of principal speakers, they are trying to clear their schedules so that they will be able to attend.

Personnel of stations or firms eligible to either active or associate membership and not in such membership will not be registered at the Conference.
Room Reservations
In the Special War Conference Bulletin of July 14, we asked that all who planned to attend the Con¬ ference use the hotel reservation form No. 3 which accompanied that bulletin. For the most part member stations have been cooperative and have given the information essential to placing their reservations in proper order with the hotel. We request any stations which may hereafter send in this Form No. 3 to please be sure to be specific as to time of arrival and departure and the type of accommodation desired and the names of all who are to occupy the rooms.
With reference to type of accommodations we are definitely limited under our contract with the hotel in the number of the larger accommodations available to us. This is one of the ( Continued on page 260)
