Petrillo on September 23 in Chicago signed an agreement with the Music Educators National Conference and the American Association of School Administrators permitting school musicians to broadcast and to cur disks on a non¬ commercial basis. Though NAEB had been assured its interests would be safeguarded, no representative was at the conference. Non-commercial stations have heretofore enjoyed freedom in musical matters, and the situation remains unchanged by the Chicago pact. I Vm ' Lh S EE YOU IN CHICA GO- —OCTOBER"25-26 -27 ]
